About The Book
Counterexamples in Probability and Stochastic Processes (3rd Edition) by Jordan Stoyanov is an indispensable resource for advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying probability theory and stochastic processes. This third edition builds on the foundational work of the original text, with revisions, corrections, and a substantial new appendix, making it an essential reference in the field.

The book emphasizes the importance of counterexamples in mathematics, showing how they not only demonstrate the falsity of statements but also serve as powerful tools for teaching, learning, and research. It presents a wide variety of challenging topics, providing clarity through counterexamples related to key results in probability and stochastic processes. Each section begins with a concise introduction to definitions and main results, followed by counterexamples that offer deeper insights.

A familiarity with basic probability and stochastic processes is assumed, and the book also includes a chapter of supplementary remarks with additional information on original sources and further references for study. With over 25 sections covering diverse aspects of the field, this book is an essential supplementary source for those seeking to deepen their understanding of these complex subjects.
