Abstract

Doob’s essential contributions to Probability theory are discussed; this includes the main early results on martingale theory, Doob’s h-transform, as well as a summary of Doob’s three books. Finally, Doob’s ‘stochastic triangle’ is viewed in the light of the stochastic analysis of the eighties.
