This book offers a comprehensive presentation of probability theory. It begins with the foundational material, presenting the axiomatic construction of the probabilistic formalism based on Lebesgue's theory of measure and integration. It then proceeds to core topics such as conditional expectation and the central limit theorem, and concludes with a selection of more advanced subjects, including Fourier estimates and probability in Banach spaces.\N\NThe first chapters largely cover the standard curriculum of undergraduate courses in measure theory and probability theory at a European university. The text could serve as a companion for students attending these courses, as well as a resource for instructors preparing lectures. This part also contains optional sections, marked with a star, which can be skipped without loss of continuity but offer pathways toward more advanced topics. Notable examples include the treatment of measure theory on metric spaces, Lebesgue's characterization of Riemann integrability, and Hoeffding's inequality.\N\NThe second part of the book presents a series of concise expositions on advanced topics at the interface of functional analysis and probability: ergodic theorems, quantitative central limit theorems, Fourier analysis, duality of \(L^{p}\)-spaces, and probability on Banach spaces. While this part does not explore these topics with the depth of specialized monographs, the presentations are largely self-contained -- given the material developed in the first part. As such, this section would serve as excellent material for a graduate seminar or as a self-study resource for a motivated undergraduate student.\N\NEach chapter concludes with a short set of exercises. While these are helpful for reinforcing the main ideas, they are somewhat limited in number and scope, so students may wish to complement them with exercises from other sources for additional practice.
