The Doctrine Of Chances - Abraham de Moivre - Bog

The Doctrine of Chances, written by Abraham De Moivre and originally published in 1718, is a pioneering work on probability theory. The book outlines a method for calculating the likelihood of various events occurring in games of chance, such as dice rolls or coin flips. De Moivre's approach is based on the principles of combinatorics and involves determining the number of possible outcomes for a given event and dividing that by the total number of possible outcomes. The book also explores the concept of expected value and provides examples of how these calculations can be applied in real-life scenarios. The Doctrine of Chances was a groundbreaking work in the field of probability theory and laid the foundation for the development of modern statistical methods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
