This thoroughly updated second edition offers a unified, modern pathway from the Kolmogorov foundations of probability to the tools of stochastic calculus-and on to applications in finance, statistics, and risk. With clarity and breadth, it develops martingale and semimartingale theory alongside stochastic differential equations, keeping both discrete- and continuous-time viewpoints in play.What's new in the 2nd EditionOptional Stochastic Analysis on non-"usual" filtrations: the first textbook presentation of optional processes on stochastic bases beyond the standard right-continuous, complete setting, with an accompanying optional stochastic calculus.Optional SDEs and stochastic exponentials/logarithms: existence-uniqueness theory and product/inverse rules, with financial modeling worked out in this optional-semimartingale framework.New applications: Stochastic Regression Analysis and Risk Theory, showing how optional tools yield estimation results and ruin-probability bounds in general settings.Expanded exercises with solutions: a substantially enlarged Supplement (Ch. 15) featuring problems that reinforce both core theory and applications.Designed for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and instructors, the book also serves researchers and practitioners who need a concise, example-driven route from measure-theoretic probability to the techniques used in finance, statistics, and risk modeling. Abundant worked examples and a comprehensive set of problems-with hints and solutions-make it ideal for self study or course adoption.…
