Elementary Probability Theory

I usually find books on probability boring and irritating, but I was very happy with this one.
It does a fine job of covering measure theory in a useful fashion, and is an acceptable first pass at covering stochastic processes.

Udmærket introduktion, men måske lidt rigeligt snakkende.
