Richard Durrett received his Ph.D. in Operations Research from Stanford in 1976. He taught at the UCLA mathematics department for 9 years and at Cornell for 25 years before moving to Duke in 2010. He is author of 8 books and more than 200 journal articles and has supervised more that 45 Ph.D. students. He is a member of the National Academy of Science. Most of his current research concerns the applications of probability to biology: ecology, genetics, and cancer modeling.

"This is the third edition of a popular textbook on stochastic processes. It is intended for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students and aimed at an intermediate level between an undergraduate course in probability and the first graduate course that uses measure theory." (William J. Satzer, MAA Reviews, maa.org, February, 2017)
"The book consists of six chapters and 265 pages. ... Each chapter has a chapter summary before the exercises. The chapter summary restates the theorems of each section and adds short new commentary. ... With its many examples and applications, chosen from the broad experience of the author, this book is an excellent text for a course in applied probability." (Myron Hlynka, Mathematical Reviews, February, 2014)
"This is the second edition of introductory text book on stochastic processes by Richard Durrett. ... The new edition contains many new examples and problems. The chapters have been reorganized to facilitate the learning process. ... The new edition makes the topic of stochastic processes even more accessible for undergraduate students and people coming from fields of applications." (H. M. Mai, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1244, 2012)
