This book is intended for university seniors and graduate students majoring in probability theory or mathematical finance. In the first chapter, results in probability theory are reviewed. Then, it follows a discussion of discrete-time martingales, continuous time square integrable martingales (particularly, continuous martingales of continuous paths), stochastic integrations with respect to continuous local martingales, and stochastic differential equations driven by Brownian motions. In the final chapter, applications to mathematical finance are given. The preliminary knowledge needed by the reader is linear algebra and measure theory. Rigorous proofs are provided for theorems, propositions, and lemmas.
In this book, the definition of conditional expectations is slightly different than what is usually found in other textbooks. For the DoobβMeyer decomposition theorem, only square integrable submartingales are considered, and only elementary facts of the square integrable functions are used in the proof. In stochastic differential equations, the EulerβMaruyama approximation is used mainly to prove the uniqueness of martingale problems and the smoothness of solutions of stochastic differential equations.

Stochastic analysis, a branch of probability theory stemming from the theory of stochastic differential equations, is becoming increasingly important in connection with partial differential equations, non-linear functional analysis, control theory and statistical mechanics.

Stochastic analysis is often understood as the analysis of functionals defined on the Wiener space, i.e., the space on which the Wiener process is realized. Since the Wiener space is infinite-dimensional, it requires a special calculus, the so-called Malliavin calculus. This book provides readers wi
