The mathematical theory of stochastic integrals, i.e. integrals where the integrator function is over the path of a stochastic, or random, process. Brownian motion is the classical example of a stochastic process. It is widely used to model the prices of financial assets and is at the basis of Black and Scholes' theory of option pricing.

Stochastic means non-deterministic. This means that something contains an inherent degree of randomness. For more detail, you should consult a dictionary or more detailed literature on probability theory.
It is called competiton.
