Mathematical probability, he argues, took over the role of the old probability of poets, orators, and logicians, albeit in scientific terms. Indeed, mathematical probability would not even have been possible without the other probability, whose roots lay in classical antiquity. The Game of Probability revisits the seventeenth and eighteenth-century ""probabilistic revolution,"" providing a history of the re |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This is the most comprehensive study to date of the rich popular music scene in contemporary China.
