Random Walk: A Modern Introduction
Random walk – the stochastic process formed by successive summation of independent, identically distributed random variables – is one of the most basic and well-studied topics in probability theory. For random walks on the integer lattice Zd, the main reference is the classic book by Spitzer [16].

In the end, the overriding pedagogical goal has been the introduction of basic ideas and methods of thought. Our understanding of the foundations of algebraic topology has undergone sub-tle but serious changes since I began teaching this course.

Discrete Stochastic Processes, Chapter 4: Renewal Processes
ocw.mit.edu158 CHAPTER 4. RENEWAL PROCESSES In most situations, we use the words arrivals and renewals interchangably, but for this type of example, the word arrival is used for the counting process {N(t); t > 0} and the word renewal is used for {Nr(t); t > 0}.The reason for being interested in {Nr(t); t > 0} is that it allows us to analyze very complicated queues such as this in two stages.
