Theory of probability

Albert A. Bennett

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Theory of probability has found many applications, some of a practical nature, others less elementary such as in the development of statistical theories of matter. There is a mathematical theory of probability, the rules of operation of which are generally acceptable and lead to results of increasing scientific and economic significance; however, the theory still is considered to rest upon an unsatisfactory philosophical basis. This article presents a brief outline of the history of probability theory and more detailed discussions of present concepts.
