This is the only book to chart the history and development of
modern probability theory. It shows how in the first thirty years
of this century probability theory became a mathematical science.
The author also traces the development of probabilistic concepts
and theories in statistical and quantum physics. There are chapters
dealing with chance phenomena, as well as the main mathematical
theories of today, together with their foundational and
philosophical problems. Among the theorists whose work is treated
at some length are Kolmogorov, von Mises and de Finetti. The
principal audience for the book comprises philosophers and
historians of science, mathematicians concerned with probability
and statistics, and physicists. The book will also interest anyone
fascinated by twentieth-century scientific developments because the
birth of modern probability is closely tied to the change from a
determinist to an indeterminist world-view.
