Inhaltsangabe

""A History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability: From the Time of Pascal to That of Laplace"" is a book written by Isaac Todhunter and published in 1865. The book provides a comprehensive history of the development of mathematical probability theory from the 17th century up to the early 19th century. It covers the contributions of early mathematicians such as Blaise Pascal, Pierre de Fermat, and Christiaan Huygens, and their work on games of chance and the development of the concept of probability. The book also discusses the contributions of later mathematicians such as Daniel Bernoulli, Thomas Bayes, and Laplace, and their work on statistical inference, the law of large numbers, and the central limit theorem. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both mathematicians and non-mathematicians interested in the history of probability theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
