Synopsis

This book offers a detailed examination of the mathematical theory of probability, a field of study that emerged from attempts to understand games of chance. The author traces the evolution of probability theory from its origins in the 17th century to its current applications in fields such as statistics, insurance, and data analysis. The book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of probability, including Bayes' theorem, the law of large numbers, and the central limit theorem. It also explores advanced topics such as Markov chains, stochastic processes, and the foundations of statistical inference. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners in probability and statistics, as well as anyone interested in the historical development of mathematical ideas.
