Abstract
In the first part of this paper I give the historical background to my initial interest in stochastic analysis and to the writing of my book Stochastic Differential Equations. The first edition of this book was published by Springer in 1985, with the highly appreciated support of Catriona Byrne.
In the second part I present a motivation for modelling the dynamics of a system subject to a noise by means of a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) driven by a time-space Brownian sheet. This is followed by a brief survey of time-space white noise and Hida–Malliavin calculus, which are useful tools for studying such equations.
As an illustration I apply white noise calculus to find an explicit solution of an SPDE describing population growth in an environment subject to time-space white noise.
Dedicated to Catriona Byrne, in gratitude for her support and encouragement through 40 years
