PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION

Abstract

This book is a translation of my book originally published in Japanese by Iwanami Shoten, Publishers. The aim of this book is to provide the reader with a concise introduction to stochastic analysis, in particular, the Malliavin calculus. I hope that the material of this book will reach more readers by this translation. I would like to express my deep appreciation to the American Mathematical Society for publishing this translation, and to their staff for excellent support.
