His skill in both these areas allows him to reveal here the historical development of this important theorem in a way that can easy be adapted to the lecture hall or used in independent study.” (Tom Schulte, The Mathematical Association of America, February, 2011)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The history of the CLT deserves a place of its own, and this book by Hans Fischer is the best … in tracing its development in meticulous historical detail and with mathematical precision. … The book by Hans Fischer is highly recommended as a well-researched comprehensive history of the CLT. One finds here the story of a galaxy of brilliant mathematicians … engaging in the quest for, and debates on, the true meaning and the correct derivation of a beautiful intriguing result.”­­­ (Rabi Bhattacharya, SIAM Review, Vol. 53 (4), 2011)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface.- Introduction.- The central limit theorem from laplace to cauchy: changes in stochastic objectives and in analytical methods.- The hypothesis of elementary errors.- Chebyshev's and markov's contributions.- The way towards modern probability.- General limit problems.- Conclusion: the central limit theorem as a link between classical and modern probability.- Index.- Bibliography","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769945751895,"sku":"9781461427018","price":159.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781461427018.jpg?v=1758723339","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-central-limit-theorem-from-classical-to-modern-probability-theory-sources-and-studies-in-the-history-of-mathematics-and-physical-sciences-9781461427018","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
