PB - World Scientific KW - Probabilities KW - Measure theory KW - Probability measures N1 - Includes bibliographical references (p. 209-211) and index N2 - This textbook is an introduction to probability theory using measure theory. It is designed for graduate students in a variety of fields (mathematics, statistics, economics, management, finance, computer science, and engineering) who require a working knowledge of probability theory that is mathematically precise, but without excessive technicalities. The text provides complete proofs of all the essential introductory results. Nevertheless, the treatment is focused and accessible, with the measure theory and mathematical details presented in terms of intuitive probabilistic concepts, rather than as separate, imposing subjects. In this new edition, many exercises and small additional topics have been added and existing ones expanded. The text strikes an appropriate balance, rigorously developing probability theory while avoiding unnecessary detail UR - https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/reader/10.1142/9789812772534_fmatter UR - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1896580.First_Look_At_Rigorous_Probability_Theory_A?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_13#CommunityReviews ER -
