Introduction to Mathematical Probability

PROF. USPENSKY'S treatise on mathematical probability is a very comprehensive one and includes every theoretical aspect of the subject, with several chapters on modern developments. Only those investigations in theory which touch the philosophical borderline and researches such as those of Reichenbach concerning possible connexions with the polyvalent logical systems, are not reviewed. Chapters i-xii of the work do not presuppose any advanced mathematical knowledge, while Chapters xiii-xvi present all the chief results of modern investigations. There are three appendixes to the book, in one of which an outline of the famous Tsebysheff-Markoff method of moments applied to the proof of the fundamental theorem established by another method in Chapter xiv is given.Introduction to Mathematical Probability By Prof. J.
