More about the book

The book highlights K. Ito's remarkable insights within the context of his intellectual environment during the late 1930s in Tokyo, a period when probability theory was evolving with the advent of continuous-time stochastic processes. It discusses the foundational work of key figures like N. Wiener, A. N. Kolmogorov, and W. Feller, illustrating how their contributions were pivotal yet complex, often challenging for students. The narrative emphasizes the nascent state of stochastic process theory, requiring perseverance and intellect from those who sought to master it.
