Large deviation estimates have proved to be a crucial tool in statistics, engineering, statistical mechanics, and applied probability. This new edition presents an introduction to the theory of large deviations, with rigorous mathematical applications from a wide range of areas, including electrical engineering and DNA sequencing.

The mathematics is rigorous and the applications come from a wide range of areas, including electrical engineering and DNA sequences.The second edition, printed in 1998, included new material on concentration inequalities and the metric and weak convergence approaches to large deviations.

This volume contains two of the three lectures that were given at the 33rd Probability Summer School in Saint-Flour (July 6-23, 2003). Amir Dembo's course is devoted to recent studies of the fractal nature of random sets, focusing on some fine properties of the sample path of random walk and Brownian motion.
