Title: A CLUSTER OF ANNIVERSARIES. II.
Authors: SHEYNIN, OSCAR1 oscar.sheynin@googlemail.com
Source: Mathematical Scientist. Jun2015, Vol. 40 Issue 1, p1-6. 6p.
Subjects: Pascal's triangle, Combinatorics, Sixteenth century, Probability theory, Gaussian distribution, Polygonal numbers
Abstract: Pascal's treatise on the arithmetic triangle (see Pascal (1665)) described the separate findings on this topic made mostly in the 16th century. Pascal showed how to apply the triangle to the theory of figurate numbers and combinatorics. Bayes completed the first version of the theory of probability and possibly considered that it belonged to pure science. Laplace's Essai was a barely successful popular treatise but it included interesting side issues such as the natural scientific study of moral sciences, psychology, and final causes. De Morgan was the first to note the normal distribution in De Moivre but was considered a logician rather than a mathematician. For 150 years Todhunter's history of probability has remained a necessary and useful source of information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
