Preface to the Second Edition (2015)

The theory of probability and stochastic calculus has grown significantly since the publication of the first edition of this book. The theory of stochastic integration and semimartingales, a relatively recent development at the time of the first edition, is now a standard and significant part of the working mathematician’s toolkit. Concepts such as Backward SDEs, which were unheard of in 1982 (
