      Anything that would help build a strong probability theory background.

      Assuming you have some freshman-college math literacy, here are a few great introductory books to Probability theory:

          Introduction To Probability by D. Bertsekas & J. Tsitsiklis
      
      https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Probability-2nd-Dimitri-...

          Elementary Probability Theory: With Stochastic Processes and an Introduction to Mathematical Finance  by K. L. Chung & F. AitSahlia 
      
      https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Probability-Theory-Introdu...

          An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications Vol. 1 by W. Feller
      
      https://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Probability-Theory-Appli...

      I'm sure there are some great video lectures on the subject as well, but unfortunately I can't point you to any relevant material since textbooks is what I used when I was in college. But if I had to guess, the latest relevant MIT OCW course that has video lectures available would be sufficient.

      I thoroughly enjoyed Kai Lai Chung's "Elementary Probability Theory With Stochastic Processes" when I was in college:
