Abstract

Like Chapter 1, the present chapter also reviews the basic concepts and results on probability and stochastic processes for later use in the book, but now the emphasis is more mathematical. Integration and measure theory are sketched and an axiomatic approach to probability is presented. Apart form briefly perusing the chapter, the general reader could omit this chapter on the first reading.
