Abstract: Probability theory has its own terminology, born from and directly related and adapted to its intuitive background; for the concepts and problems of probability theory are born from and evolve with the analysis of random phenomena. As a branch of mathematics, however, probability theory partakes of and contributes to the whole domain of mathematics and, at present, its general set-up is expressible in terms of measure spaces and measurable functions. We give below a first table of correspondences between the probability and measure theoretic terms. Within parentheses appear the abbreviations to be used throughout this book.
