This course develops the measure-theoretic foundations of probability, including sigma fields, measurable spaces, probability-measure extension, conditional probability, independence, random variables, and distribution functions. It also covers the Borel-Cantelli lemmas, Caratheodory Extension Theorem, and Riemann–Stieltjes integration.
