Measure, Integral and Probability (Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 2004)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 2nd 2004, 27 August 2004

Measure, Integral and Probability is a gentle introduction that makes measure and integration theory accessible to the average third-year undergraduate student. The ideas are developed at an easy pace in a form that is suitable for self-study, with an emphasis on clear explanations and concrete examples rather than abstract theory. For this second edition, the text has been thoroughly revised and expanded. New features include: - a substantial new chapter, featuring a constructive proof of the Radon-Nikodym theorem, an analysis of the structure of Lebesgue-Stieltjes measures, the Hahn-Jordan decomposition, and a brief introduction to martingales - key aspects of financial modeling, discussed briefly from a measure-theoretical perspective to help the reader understand the underlying mathematical framework.
