Description for Mathematics of Probability
Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 284 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBT. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 258 x 184 x 20. Weight in Grams: 678.
This book covers the basics of modern probability theory. It begins with probability theory on finite and countable sample spaces and then passes from there to a concise course on measure theory, which is followed by some initial applications to probability theory, including independence and conditional expectations. The second half of the book deals with Gaussian random variables, with Markov chains, with a few continuous parameter processes, including Brownian motion, and, finally, with martingales, both discrete and continuous parameter ones. The book is a self-contained introduction to probability theory and the measure theory required to study it.
