{"product_id":"theory-of-probability-von-oscar-sheynin","title":"Theory of Probability","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis treatise is written on an elementary level; in more difficult cases the final formulas are provided without proof. Nevertheless, it was impossible to leave out integrals and I also had to differentiate an integral with respect to a parameter. I include many examples taken from the history of probability and hope that my subject has thus become lively. I especially quote Karl Pearson¿s (1978, p. 1) repentant confession: I do feel how wrongful it was to work for so many years at statistics and neglect its history. In spite of a few mistakes, his book deserves serious attention. Thus, in § 4.1.1 I criticize his opinion about Jakob Bernoulli. I have devoted much attention to the notion of probability which fully conforms to Langevin¿s statement (1913\/1914, p. 3): Dans toutes ces questions [in the kinetic theory] la difficulté principale est, comme nous le verrons, de donner une définition correcte et claire de la probabilité. Note however that correct definition sounds strangely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9786138501527\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn Elementary Treatise against a Historical Background\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9786138501527","offer_id":40149125464157,"sku":"9786138501527","price":59.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4d15f94a-f6c2-4c0b-9a2f-3f889d76b19c.jpg?v=1770705200","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/theory-of-probability-von-oscar-sheynin","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
