| Abstract: | The present edition of the book differs substantially from the previous one. Over the period of time since the publication of the previous edition the author has accumu- lated quite a lot of ideas concerning possible improvements to some chapters of the book. In addition, some new opportunities were found for an accessible exposition of new topics that had not appeared in textbooks before but which are of certain interest for applications and reflect current trends in the development of modern probability theory. All this led to the need for one more revision of the book. As a result, many methodological changes were made and a lot of new material was added, which makes the book more logically coherent and complete. We will list here only the main changes in the order of their appearance in the text. |
| Description: | As has already been noted, these are just the most significant changes; there are also many others. A lot of typos and other inaccuracies were fixed. The process of creating new typos and misprints in the course of one’s work on a book is random and can be well described mathematically by the Poisson process (for the defini- tion of Poisson processes, see Chaps 10 and 19). An important characteristic of the quality of a book is the intensity of this process. Unfortunately, I am afraid that in the two previous editions (1999 and 2003) this intensity perhaps exceeded a certain acceptable level. Not renouncing his own responsibility, the author still admits that this may be due, to some extent, to the fact that the publication of these editions took place at the time of a certain decline of the publishing industry in Russia related to the general state of the economy at that time (in the 1972, 1976 and 1986 editions there were much fewer such defects). |
