Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability: From the Time of Pascal to That of Laplace The favourable reception which has been granted to (my History of the Calculus of Variations during the Nineteenth Century has encouraged me to undertake another work of the same kind. The subject to which I now invite attention has high claims to consideration on account of the subtle problems which it involves, the valuable contributions to analysis which it has produced, its important practical applications, and the eminence of those who have cultivated it.

Download or read book A History of the Central Limit Theorem written by Hans Fischer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-08 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses the history of the central limit theorem and related probabilistic limit theorems from about 1810 through 1950. In this context the book also describes the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools, such as characteristic functions or moments. The central limit theorem was originally deduced by Laplace as a statement about approximations for the distributions of sums of independent random variables within the framework of classical probability, which focused upon specific problems and applications. Making this theorem an autonomous mathematical object was very important for the development of modern probability theory.

Download or read book A History of Mathematical Statistics from 1750 to 1930 written by Anders Hald and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1998-04-22 with total page 832 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited second volume of Anders Hald's history of the development of mathematical statistics. Anders Hald's A History of Probability and Statistics and Their Applications before 1750 is already considered a classic by many mathematicians and historians. This new volume picks up where its predecessor left off, describing the contemporaneous development and interaction of four topics: direct probability theory and sampling distributions; inverse probability by Bayes and Laplace; the method of least squares and the central limit theorem; and selected topics in estimation theory after 1830. In this rich and detailed work, Hald carefully traces the history of parametric statistical inference, the development of the corresponding mathematical methods, and some typical applications. Not surprisingly, the ideas, concepts, methods, and results of Laplace, Gauss, and Fisher dominate his account. In particular, Hald analyzes the work and interactions of Laplace and Gauss and describes their contributions to modern theory. Hald also offers a great deal of new material on the history of the period and enhances our understanding of both the controversies and continuities that developed between the different schools. To enable readers to compare the contributions of various historical figures, Professor Hald has rewritten the original papers in a uniform modern terminology and notation, while leaving the ideas unchanged. Statisticians, probabilists, actuaries, mathematicians, historians of science, and advanced students will find absorbing reading in the author's insightful description of important problems and how they gradually moved toward solution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability De Moivre's Doctrine of Chances formed a treatise on the subject, full, clear and accurate; and it maintained its place as a standard work, at least in England, almost down to our own day. The tenth Chapter gives an account of some miscellaneous investigations between the years 1700 and 1750. These investigations are due to Nicolas Bernoulli, Arbuthnot, Browne, Mairan, Nicole, Buffon, Ham, Thomas Simpson and John Bernoulli. The eleventh Chapter relates to Daniel Bernoulli, containing an account of a series of memoirs published chiefly in the volumes of the Academy of Petersburg; the memoirs are remarkable for boldness and originality, the first of them contains the celebrated theory of Moral Expectation. The twelfth Chapter relates to Euler; it gives an account of his memoirs, which relate principally to certain games of chance. The thirteenth Chapter relates to D'Alembert; it gives a full account of the objections which ho urged against some of the fundamental principles of the subject, and of his controversy with Daniel Bernoulli on the mathematical investigation of the gain to human life which would arise from the extirpation of one of the most fatal diseases to which the human race is liable. The fourteenth Chapter relates to Bayes; it explains the method by which he demonstrated his famous theorem, which may be said to have been the origin of that part of the subject which relates to the probabilities of causes as inferred from observed effects. The fifteenth Chapter is devoted to Lagrange; he contributed to the subject a valuable memoir on the theory of the errors of observations, and demonstrations of the results enunciated by De Moivre respecting the Duration of Play. The sixteenth Chapter contains notices of miscellaneous investigations between the years 1750 and 1780. This Chapter brings before us Kaostner, Clark, Mallet, John Bernoulli, Beguelin, Micholl, Lambert, Buffon, Fuss, and some others. The memoir of Micholl is remarkable; it contains the famous argument for the existence of design drawn from the fact of the closeness of certain stars, like the Pleiades. The seventeenth Chapter relates to Cordorcet, who published a large book and a long memoir upon the Theory of Probability.
