This book covers the fundamentals of measure theory and probability theory. It begins with the construction of Lebesgue measure via Caratheodory’s outer measure approach and goes on to discuss integration and standard convergence theorems and contains an entire chapter devoted to complex measures, Lp spaces, Radon–Nikodym theorem, and the Riesz representation theorem. It presents the elements of probability theory, the law of large numbers, and central limit theorem. The book then discusses discrete time Markov chains, stationary distributions and limit theorems. The appendix covers many basic topics such as metric spaces, topological spaces and the Stone–Weierstrass theorem.
This textbook is suitable for a one-semester course on measure theory and probability for beginning graduate students in mathematics, probability and statistics. It can also be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate students in mathematics … The topics are well selected to meet the needs of students who are interested in graduate studies in areas related to analysis, probability, stochastic processes and statistics … This makes the book student-friendly. A motivated student can use it by him- or herself to learn the topics well.
