Abstract
Most of the contents of this section is fairly standard probability theory. The reader shouldn’t be under the impression that this chapter is a substitute for a systematic course in probability theory. We will skip important topics such as limit theorems. The emphasis here is on analytic methods; in particular characteristic functions will be extensively used throughout.
