This book provides a selection of pioneering papers or extracts
ranging from Pascal (1654) to R.A. Fisher (1930). The
editors'annotations put the articles in perspective for the modern
reader. A special feature of the book is the large number of
translations, nearly all made by the authors. There are several
reasons for studying the history of statistics: intrinsic interest
in how the field of statistics developed, learning from often
brilliant ideas and not reinventing the wheel, and livening up
general courses in statistics by reference to important
contributors.
