This book is an introductory course on stochastic analysis for advanced students with previous knowledge in probability theory and measure theory. ... The presentation of the theory is detailed and rigorous, both in terms of results and proofs. ... The book can be an excellent textbook for an introductory course on stochastic analysis, with a strong emphasis on the central notion of martingales. (Josep Vives, Mathematical Reviews, April, 2022)
