This book collects and compares current results - mostly strong theorems which describe the properties of a random walk. The modern problems of the limit theorems of probability theory are treated in the simple case of coin tossing. Taking advantage of this simplicity, the reader is familiarized with limit theorems (especially strong ones) without the burden of technical tools and difficulties. An easy way of considering the Wiener process is also given, through the study of the random walk. 606 $aRandom walks (Mathematics) 615 0$aRandom walks (Mathematics) 676 $a519.282 700 $aRevesz$b Pal$012634 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820493503321 996 $aRandom walk in random and non-random environments$91491019 997 $aUNINA
