Presenting the two components of point process calculus, the martingale calculus and the Palm calculus, it aims to develop the computational skills needed for the study of stochastic models involving point processes, providing enough of the general theory for the reader to reach a technical level sufficient for most applications.

Primarily an introduction to the theory of stochastic processes at the undergraduate or beginning graduate level, the primary objective of this book is to initiate students in the art of stochastic modelling. Researchers and students in these areas as well as in physics, biology and the social sciences will find this book of interest.

The first four chapters are about probability theory, Chapters 5 to 8 concern random sequences, or discrete-time stochastic processes, and the rest of the book focuses on stochastic processes and point processes.

Presenting the mathematical foundations of the theory of stationary queuing systems, the Palm theory and the Loynes theory, this extensively revised second edition adds substantial material - mainly exercises and their solutions - to a classic reference.

From the reviews: "[...] the interested reader will find in Bremaud's book an invaluable reference because of its coverage, scope and style, as well as of the unified treatment it offers of (signal processing oriented) Fourier and wavelet basics." Mathematical Reviews

This work is unique as it provides a uniform treatment of the Fourier theories of functions (Fourier transforms and series, z-transforms), finite measures (characteristic functions, convergence in distribution), and stochastic processes (including arma series and point processes). It emphasises the links between these three themes.
