A History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability : From the Time of Pascal to that of Laplace

Omtale

An indefatigable mathematician and university teacher at Cambridge, Isaac Todhunter (1820–84) is best remembered for his successful textbooks. This 1865 publication traces the progress of probability theory from its roots in the seventeenth century through to the early nineteenth century and Pierre-Simon Laplace's wide-ranging coverage of the subject.
