This book is an elementary and practical introduction to
probability theory. It differs from other introductory texts in two
important respects. First, the per sonal (or subjective) view of
probability is adopted throughout. Second, emphasis is placed on
how values are assigned to probabilities in practice, i.e. the
measurement of probabilities. The personal approach to probability
is in many ways more natural than other current formulations, and
can also provide a broader view of the subject. It thus has a
unifying effect. It has also assumed great importance recently
because of the growth of Bayesian Statistics. Personal probability
is essential for modern Bayesian methods, and it can be difficult
for students who have learnt a different view of probability to
adapt to Bayesian thinking. This book has been produced in response
to that difficulty, to present a thorough introduction to
probability from scratch, and entirely in the personal framework."
