The Empire of Chance: How Probability Changed Science and Everyday Life (Ideas in Context, Band 12) - Hardcover
Buch 5 von 82: Ideas in Context
Inhaltsangabe
This book tells how quantitative ideas of chance have transformed the natural and social sciences as well as everyday life over the past three centuries. A continuous narrative connects the earliest application of probability and statistics in gambling and insurance to the most recent forays into law, medicine, polling, and baseball. Separate chapters explore the theoretical and methodological impact on biology, physics, and psychology. In contrast to the literature on the mathematical development of probability and statistics, this book centers on how these technical innovations recreated our conceptions of nature, mind, and society.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. pp: 340. The authors point to the increasing use, and dependence on, statistics in an increasingly longer list of disciplines. Many of the statistical techniques used in some fields are now an integral part of research methods in medicine, applied science and much of social sciences. In this volume the authors seek to trace the development of these concepts, and their role in shaping scientific thinking. The book includes a useful list of references, and both a name and subject index. A very good copy in dust jacket, both with moderate signs of wear. The text block is clean, and free of extraneous markings. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008505
