PATRICK BILLINGSLEY, PhD, is Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Chicago. His book, Probability and Measure, Third Edition, is also available from Wiley.
The book is a classic--it is almost an insult to review it. This
second edition will, probably and rightly, be urged on today's
research students by their predecessors, now their supervisors, who
derived so much from the first edition. As the author says, 30
years ago the book would take the aspiring researcher to the
forefront. Now, with the huge development over these years, it just
provides an initial grounding, though no less essential. (The
Statistician 49 (3) 2000)
...it seems destined to become another clasic and is of interest
even to those who already own the first edition. (Zentralblatt
Math, Volume 944, No 19, 2000)
