What is Continuous Stochastic Calculus with Applications to Finance (Applied Mathematics Book 17) about?

Time spent to read the book in detail: Four weeksThe book, 295 pages, is ordered as follows:Chapter 1 (First 50 pages):These cover discreet time martingale theory. Expectation/Conditional expectation: The coverage here is unusual and I found it irritating. The author defines conditional expectation of variables in e(P) - the space of extended random variables for which the expectation is defined - i.e. either E(X+) or E(X-) is defined - rather than the more traditional space L^1(R) - the space of integrable random variables. The source of irritation is that the former is not a vector space. Thus given a variable X in e(P) and another variable Y, in general X+Y will not be defined, for example if EX+ = infinity, EY= - infinity. As a result, one is constantly having to worry about whether one can add variables or not, a real pain. Perhaps an example might help: Suppose I have two variables X1 AND X2. If I am in the space L^1 then I know both are finite almost everywhere (a.e) and so I can create a third variable Y through addition by setting say Y = X1+X2. In the treatment here however, I have to be careful since it is not a priori clear that X1+X2 is defined a.e. What I need is - on
