Real Analysis and Probability

by R. M. Dudley

Overview

Written by one of the best-known probabilists in the world this text offers a clear and modern presentation of modern probability theory and an exposition of the interplay between the properties of metric spaces and those of probability measures. This text is the first at this level to include discussions of the subadditive ergodic theorems, metrics for convergence in laws and the Borel isomorphism theory. The proofs for the theorems are consistently brief and clear and each chapter concludes with a set of historical notes and references. This book should be of interest to students taking degree courses in real analysis and/or probability theory.

Editorial Reviews

"A marvelous work which will soon become a standard text in the field for both teaching and reference...a complete and pedagogically perfect presentation of both the necessary preparatory material of real analysis and the proofs througout the text. Some of the topics and proofs are rarely found in other textbooks." Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society
