Abstract
The intention of this chapter is to provide a brief survey of probability theory in a very schematic way, just to present some essential concepts and results that are necessary to understand the ideas exposed throughout the rest of the book. Readers with a background in mathematical probability can skip this chapter and only revisit it occasionally when it is referred along the book.
