Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In May of 1973 we organized an international research colloquium on foundations of probability, statistics, and statistical theories of science at the University of Western Ontario. During the past four decades there have been striking formal advances in our understanding of logic, semantics and algebraic structure in probabilistic and statistical theories. These advances, which include the development of the relations between semantics and metamathematics, between logics and algebras and the algebraic-geometrical foundations of statistical theories (especially in the sciences), have led to striking new insights into the formal and conceptual structure of probability and statistical theory and their scientific applications in the form of scientific theory. The foundations of statistics are in a state of profound conflict. Fisher's objections to some aspects of Neyman-Pearson statistics have long been well known. More recently the emergence of Bayesian statistics as a radical alternative to standard views has made the conflict especially acute. In recent years the response of many practising statisticians to the conflict has been an eclectic approach to statistical inference. Many good statisticians have developed a kind of wisdom which enables them to know which problems are most appropriately handled by each of the methods available. The search for principles which would explain why each of the methods works where it does and fails where it does offers a fruitful approach to the controversy over foundations.

Hardcover. First edition. AN EXCEPTIONAL COLLECTION OF 69 ORIGINAL WORKS ASSEMBLED FOR PRESENTATION TO HIS SON. An extraordinary collection of works by Sir John Herschel (1792-1871), the outstanding astronomer and physical scientist of his day, assembled for presentation to his son William James Herschel (not to be confused with John's father, the astronomer Frederick William). The collection includes offprints of Herschel's three most important publications on photography, the first two of which have corrections and annotations in his hand. These offprints are of extreme rarity ABPC/RBH list no other copy of any of them in the past 75 years. Herschel's intensive investigations in photography and photochemistry during the late 1830s and early 1840s led to enormous advances: he coined the terms 'positive' and 'negative,' invented new photographic processes and improved existing ones, and experimented with colour reproduction. Among the mathematical works are several on the 'calculus of operators', as well as Herschel's corrected galley proofs of a very important article on the theory of probability which was read by James Clerk Maxwell and led him to introduce probabilistic methods into the theory of gases, and thereby lay the foundations of statistical physics. There is also an offprint of a little studied paper in which Herschel describes a mechanical calculating machine, developed "In the course of a conversation with Mr. Babbage on the subject of applying machinery to the performance of numerical computations". The astronomy papers include an offprint of Herschel's great catalogue of 380 double stars (i.e., binary stars). All of the offprints are rare, with most either not listed on OCLC, or listed in only a handful of copies. "Herschel's university years at St. John's College, Cambridge, were devoted primarily to mathematics. Not only did he carry away the top academic prizes during this time, he was also elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, and co-founded the Analytical Society with Charles Babbage and George Peacock Even at this early stage of his career, Herschel's zeal to "leave the world wiser than [he] found it", was already fully formed, and this clearly motivated his approach to photography when that too appeared on his horizon. His brief forays into legal studies and then into an academic career at Cambridge, ended abruptly at the close of 1816 when he settled finally on learning the trade of astronomer as his father's assistant. Herschel's life as a scientist of independent means, at a time when such a profession hardly existed, allowed him the freedom to pursue his personal interests, among them the study of light" (Hannavy, Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography, p. 653). Provenance: William James Herschel (inscription in John Herschel's hand on front free endpaper of Vol. III: 'W. J. Herschel // From his affectionate father // JFWH'); Dr. Sydney Ross, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (small red book label on each front paste-down). W. J. Herschel (1833-1917), the eldest son of John Herschel, is credited with being the first European to note the value of fingerprints for identification. Sydney Ross (1915-2013), leading chemist and bibliophile, was a former Professor of Colloid Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, and founder, and until his death, president of the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation. In 2001 he published a 590-page annotated Catalogue of the Herschel Library of William and John Herschel. In the following description of the works in these volumes, the numbers refer to the list of contents below. Photography (43, 44-47, 51, 59) "Photography was announced at the very height of Herschel's career. He had just returned from four years in South Africa, having completed an examination of the skies of the Southern Hemisphere, and had reluctantly been raised to a baronetcy. Herschel learned of the announcement of the Daguerreotype on 22 January [1839], and of Talbot's competing process within the s.
