Praise for the Third Edition "It is, as far as I'm concerned, among
the best books in math ever written....if you are a mathematician and
want to have the top reference in probability, this is it."
(Amazon.com, January 2006) A complete and comprehensive classic in
probability and measure theory Probability and Measure, Anniversary
Edition by Patrick Billingsley celebrates the achievements and
advancements that have made this book a classic in its field for the
past 35 years. Now re-issued in a new style and format, but with the
reliable content that the third edition was revered for, this
Anniversary Edition builds on its strong foundation of measure theory
and probability with Billingsley's unique writing style. In
recognition of 35 years of publication, impacting tens of thousands of
readers, this Anniversary Edition has been completely redesigned in a
new, open and user-friendly way in order to appeal to university-level
students. This book adds a new foreward by Steve Lally of the
Statistics Department at The University of Chicago in order to
underscore the many years of successful publication and world-wide
popularity and emphasize the educational value of this book. The
Anniversary Edition contains features including: An improved treatment
of Brownian motion Replacement of queuing theory with ergodic theory
Theory and applications used to illustrate real-life situations Over
300 problems with corresponding, intensive notes and solutions Updated
bibliography An extensive supplement of additional notes on the
problems and chapter commentaries Patrick Billingsley was a
first-class, world-renowned authority in probability and measure
theory at a leading U.S. institution of higher education. He continued
to be an influential probability theorist until his unfortunate death
in 2011. Billingsley earned his Bachelor's Degree in Engineering from
the U.S. Naval Academy where he served as an officer. he went on to
receive his Master's Degree and doctorate in Mathematics from
Princeton University.Among his many professional awards was the
Mathematical Association of America's Lester R. Ford Award for
mathematical exposition. His achievements through his long and
esteemed career have solidified Patrick Billingsley's place as a
leading authority in the field and been a large reason for his books
being regarded as classics. This Anniversary Edition of Probability
and Measure offers advanced students, scientists, and engineers an
integrated introduction to measure theory and probability. Like the
previous editions, this Anniversary Edition is a key resource for
students of mathematics, statistics, economics, and a wide variety of
disciplines that require a solid understanding of probability theory.
