Other times I can barely see.  \nLately it occurs to me what a long strange trip its been.  \nGrateful Dead  \nIn 1989 when the 􀀌rst edition of the book was completed, my sons David and Greg were 3 and 1, and the cover picture showed the Dow Jones at 2650 . The last twenty-nine years have brought many changes but the song remains the same. \\The title of the book indicates that as we develop the theory, we will focus our attention on examples. Hoping that the book would be a useful reference for people who apply probability in their work, we have tried to emphasize the results that are important for applications, and illustrated their use with roughly 200 examples. Probability is not a spectator sport, so the book contains almost 450 exercises to challenge the reader and to deepen their understanding.\"  \nThe 􀀌fth edition has a number of changes:  \n􀀏 The exercises have been moved to the end of the section. The Examples, Theorems, and Lemmas are now numbered in one sequence to make it easier to 􀀌nd things.  \n􀀏 There is a new chapter on multidimensional Brownian motion and its relationship to PDEs. To make this possible a proof of It^o's formula has been added to Chapter 7 .  \n􀀏 The lengthy Brownian motion chapter has been split into two, with the second focusing on Donsker's theorem, etc. The material on the central limit theorem for martingales and stationary sequences deleted from the fourth edition has been reinstated.  \n􀀏 The four sections of the random walk chapter have been relocated. Stopping times have been moved to the martingale chapter; recurrence of random walks and the arcsine laws to the Markov chain chapter; renewal theory has been moved to Chapter 2 .  \n􀀏 Some of the exercises that were simply proofs left to the reader, have been put into the text as lemmas. There are a few new exercises  \niv  \nTypos. The fourth edition contains a list of the people who made corrections to the 􀀌rst three editions. With apologies to those whose contributions I lost track of, this time I need to thank: Richard Arratia, Benson Au, Swee Hong Chan, Conrado Costa, Nate Eldredge, Steve Evans, Jason Farnon, Christina Goldschmidt, Eduardo Horta, Martin Hildebrand, Shlomo Leventhal, Jan Lieke, Kyle MacDonald, Ron Peled, Jonathan Peterson, Erfan Salavati, Byron Schmuland, Timo Seppalainen, Antonio Carlos de Azevedo Sodre, Shouda Wang, and Ruth Williams. I must confess that Christophe Leuridan pointed one out that I have not corrected. Lemma 3.4.19 incorrectly asserts that the distributions in its statement have mean 0, but their means do not exist. The conclusion remains valid since they are di􀀋erentiable at 0 . A sixth edition is extremely unlikely, but you can email me about typos and I will post them on my web page.  \nFamily update. As the fourth edition was being completed, David had recently graduated from Ithaca College and Greg was in his last semester at MIT applying to graduate school in computer science. Now, eight years later, Greg has graduated from Berkeley, and is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at U of Texas in Austin. Greg works in the 􀀌eld of machine learning, speci􀀌cally natural language processing. No, I don't know what that means but it seems to pay well. David got his degree in journalism. After an extensive job search process and some free lance work, David has settled into a steady job working fora company that produces newsletters for athletic directors and trainers. In the summer of 2010, Susan and I moved to Durham. Since many people think that the move was about the weather, I will mention that during our 􀀌rst summer it was 104 degrees (and humid!) three days in a row. Yes, it almost never snows here, but when it does, three inches of snow (typically mixed with ice) will shut down the whole town for four days.
