Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive exploration of probability theory, written by one of the most respected mathematicians in history, Jakob Bernoulli. Probability theory addresses chance occurrences and its impact on a variety of subjects, such as fairness in gambling, insurance pricing, and the reliability of scientific findings. As such, it underpins much of how we quantify risk and make data-driven decisions in the present day. Bernoulli's work in Ars conjectandi is often seen as the foundation of modern probability theory and mathematical statistics. The scope of this work is remarkably broad, covering the basics of probability, as well as deep explorations of combinatorial calculations, permutations, and game theory. The latter section introduces readers to foundational ideas in probability, such as how to calculate the probability of compound events and the mathematical relationship between seemingly random events. Through carefully chosen examples, Bernoulli demonstrates how probability theory can be applied to games of chance, which was a popular way to explore the subject at the time. Throughout the book, he shares innovative methods to approach these problems, as well as solutions to several probability puzzles. These examples not only make the material very accessible but also reveal how this field of mathematics offers essential tools for understanding our world. For anyone interested in learning about probability, Ars conjectandi is a must-read. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Hardcover. First edition. EVANS 8 - ESTABLISHED THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF THE CALCULUS OF PROBABILITIES. First edition, an exceptionally fine copy, rare in this condition. ?Jakob 1 Bernoulli?s posthumous treatise, edited by his nephew [Nicholas I Bernoulli], (the title literally means ?the art of [dice] throwing?) was the first significant book on probability theory: it set forth the fundamental principles of the calculus of probabilities and contained the first suggestion that the theory could extend beyond the boundaries of mathematics to apply to civic, moral and economic affairs. The work is divided into four parts, the first a commentary on Huygens?s De ratiociniis in ludo aleae (1657), the second a treatise on permutations (a term Bernoulli invented) and combinations, containing the Bernoulli numbers, and the third an application of the theory of combinations to various games of chance. The fourth and most important part contains Bernoulli?s philosophical thoughts on probability: probability as a measurable degree of certainty, necessity and chance, moral versus mathematical expectation, a priori and a posteriori probability, etc. It also contains his attempt to prove what is still called Bernoulli?s Theorem: that if the number of trials is made large enough, then the probability that the result will lie between certain limits will be as great as desired? (Norman). This was the first statement of the law of large numbers. ?In the first Part (pp. 2-71) Jakob Bernoulli complemented his reprint of Huygens?s tract by extensive annotations which contained important modifications and generalisations. Bernoulli?s additions to Huygens?s tract are about four times as long as the original text. The central concept in Huygens?s tract is expectation. The expectation of a player A engaged in a game of chance in a certain situation is identified by Huygens with his share of the stakes if the game is not played or not continued in a ?just? game. For the determination of expectation Huygens had given three propositions which constitute the ?theory? of his calculus of games of chance. Huygens?s central proposition III maintains: ?If the number of cases I have for gaining a is p, and if the number of cases I have for gaining b is q, then assuming that all cases can happen equally easily, my expectation is worth (pa + qb)/(p + q).? ?Bernoulli not only gives a new proof for this proposition but also generalizes it in several ways ? ?Huygens?s propositions IV to VII treat the problem of points, also called the problem of the division of stakes, for two players; propositions VIII and IX treat three and more players. Bernoulli returns to these problems in Part II of the Ars Conjectandi. In his annotations to Huygens?s proposition IV he generalised Huygens?s concept of expectation ? This is the only instance in the annotations and commentaries to Huygens?s tract where Bernoulli uses the word ?probabilitas?, or probability as understood in everyday life. Later in Part IV of the Ars Conjectandi Bernoulli replaced Huygens?s main concept, expectation, by the concept of probability for which he introduced the classical measure of favourable to all possible cases. The remaining propositions X to XIV of Huygens?s tract deal with dicing problems of the kind: What are the odds to throw a given number of points with two or three dice? or: With how many throws of a die can one undertake it to throw a six or a double six? ? The meaning of Huygens?s result of proposition X, that the expectation of a player who contends to throw a six with four throws of a die is greater than that of his adversary, is explained by Bernoulli in a way which relates to the law of large numbers proved in Part IV of the Ars Conjectandi ? ?In the second Part (pp. 72-137) Bernoulli deals with combinatorial analysis, based on contributions of van Schooten, Leibniz, Wallis, and Jean Prestet ? [It] consists of nine chapters dealing with permutations, the number of combinations of all classes, the number of combinations of a particular class, figurate numbers and their properties (especially the multiplicative property), sums of powers of integers, the hypergeometric distribution, the problem of points for two players with equal chances to win a single game, combinations with repetitions and with restricted repetitions, and variations with repetitions and with restricted repetitions. ?Evidently Bernoulli did not know Blaise Pascal?s Triangle arithm?tique, published posthumously in 1665, though Leibniz had alluded to it in his last letter to him in 1705. Not only does Bernoulli not mention Pascal in the list of authors that he had consulted concerning combinatorial analysis, except for Pascal?s letter to Fermat of 24 July 1654; it would also be difficult to explain why he repeated results already published by Pascal in the Triangle arithm?tique, such as the multiplicative property for binomial coefficients for which Bernoulli claims the first proof for himself. His arrangement differs completely from that of Pascal, whose proof for the multiplicative property of the binomial coefficients has been judged to be clearer than Bernoulli?s. It is fair to add that in the Ars Conjectandi, which Bernoulli left as an unpublished manuscript, he was much more honest concerning the achievements of his predecessors than Pascal in the Triangle arithm?tique. It is also true that Bernoulli was concerned with combinatorial analysis in the Ars Conjectandi first of all because it constituted for him a most useful and indispensable universal instrument for dealing numerically with conjectures, since ?every conjecture is founded upon combinations of the effective causes? (p. 73) ? ?In the third Part (pp. 138-209) Bernoulli gives 24 problems concerning the determination of the modified Huygenian concept of expectation in various games. Here he uses extensively conditional expectations without, however, distinguishing them from unconditional expectations. All the games are games of chance wit.
