            Abstract : 
A functional integral approach to solution of a class of evolution equations is described. This is done by introducing the Feynman-Kac formula. Then selected applications to quantum mechanical and classical wave propagation problems are presented. A connection with the nonlinear filtering theory is also discussed.
