This is my first post where I'm not requesting help with a problem. Nevertheless, I'm writing here for some book suggestions. After recently finishing my maths degree and as a result of my Random Processes Module, I've developed a keen interest in all things Markov, the lecture notes in this module were poor and feel like I'd like to do some further reading and strengthen ideas that I should have concretely already learnt. It would be great if anyone on here could recommend books oriented around the following; Markov Chains, Queues, Modelling, Invariant Distributions, Brownian Motion etc. Feel free to delve into my previous posts; some give a brief view of what stuff I was learning. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

I would suggest the following books:

  1. J. M. Steele, Stochastic Calculus and Financial Applications (*)
  2. R. van Handel, Stochastic Calculus, Filtering, and Stochastic Control (*)
  3. J. R. Norris, Markov Chains
  4. Peter Mörters and Yuval Peres, Brownian Motion
  5. Sheldon Ross, Simulation
  6. Barry L. Nelson, Stochastic Modeling: Analysis and Simulation
  7. Oksendal, Stochastic Differential Equations

(*) personal favorites :)

There are also some general books that cover several topics in your list. for example, you can look at Grimmett and Stirzaker: Probability and Random Processes.
