I have no right to say to these, You shall not ?nd fault with my art, or fall asleep over my pages; but I ask you to believe that this person writing strives to tell the truth. If there is not that, there is nothing. William Makepeace Thackeray, The History of Pendennis This is a monograph\/textbook on the probabilistic aspects of gambling, intended for those already familiar with probability at the post-calculus, p- measure-theory level. Gambling motivated much of the early development of probability the- 1 ory (David 1962). Indeed, some of the earliest works on probability include Girolamo Cardanös [1501¿1576] Liber de Ludo Aleae (The Book on Games of Chance, written c. 1565, published 1663), Christiaan Huygens¿s [1629¿ 1695] ¿De ratiociniis in ludo aleae¿ (¿On reckoning in games of chance,¿ 1657), Jacob Bernoulli¿s [1654¿1705]Ars Conjectandi (The Art of Conject- ing, written c. 1690, published 1713), Pierre R¿ emond de Montmort¿s [1678¿ 1719] Essay d¿analyse sur les jeux de hasard (Analytical Essay on Games of Chance, 1708, 1713), and Abraham De Moivre¿s [1667¿1754]TheDoctrineof Chances (1718, 1738, 1756). Gambling also had a major in?uence on 20- century probability theory, as it provided the motivation for the concept of a martingale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783540787822\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProbabilistic Aspects of Gambling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783662501672\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProbabilistic Aspects of Gambling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783540787822","offer_id":32934711591005,"sku":"9783540787822","price":117.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover - 9783662501672","offer_id":39427817406557,"sku":"9783662501672","price":117.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73461_39e5c88d-0036-4887-bc54-ae94202f8a72.jpg?v=1784349470","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-doctrine-of-chances-probabilistic-aspects-of-gambling-von-stewart-n-ethier","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
