Martingale Property of Brownian Motion

Stochastic Processes · Medium · Free problem
Let $W_t$ be a standard Brownian motion. Define the process $M_t = W_t^2 - t$. Show that $M_t$ is a martingale with respect to the natural filtration $\mathcal{F}_s = \sigma(W_u : u \leq s)$. That is, verify that $E[M_t \mid \mathcal{F}_s] = M_s$ for all $0 \leq s < t$.
