Derived from extensive teaching experience in Paris, this second edition now includes over 100 exercises in probability. New exercises have been added to reflect important areas of current research in probability theory, including infinite divisibility of stochastic processes, past-future martingales and fluctuation theory. For each exercise the authors provide detailed solutions as well as references for preliminary and further reading. There are also many insightful notes to motivate the student and set the exercises in context. Students will find these exercises extremely useful for easing the transition between simple and complex probabilistic frameworks. Indeed, many of the exercises here will lead the student on to frontier research topics in probability. Along the way, attention is drawn to a number of traps into which students of probability often fall. This book is ideal for independent study or as the companion to a course in advanced probability theory.

Reviews & endorsements
Of the first edition:
"...a very appealing and valuable book for independent study or as a companion book in advanced probability theory courses. Highly recommended."
Choice MagazineSee more reviewsOf the first edition:
"This is an excellent book, which should be in every library, and also on the bookshelf of anyone with interests in advanced probability and random processes."
SIAM ReviewOf the first edition:
"...a magnificent resource, not just in terms of shearing recent research results to their core but in encouraging putative researchers to think of an interplay between finite and infinite dimensional viewpoints for a given problem. In that sense, the authors take us into the mind of the researcher...For beginning researchers in stochastic mathematics, this book comes highly recommended and libraries should obtain a copy."
