should I learn measure theory before learning probability?

6 1 $begingroup$ I am currently looking to learn about probability and statistics since I am interested in actuarial science. I have some knowledge on real analysis(rudins book except the last 2 chapters) and linear algebra(axlers linear algebra done right). I have very little prior knowledge about prob/stat. When researching prob/stat books to order I encountered the distinction between books that use measure theory and those that don't. Anyway I am not really sure where to start and was wondering if someone could kindly recommend some books and which order to read them in. probability measure-theory book-recommendation share | cite | improve this question
