Book Synopsis The Book on Games of Chance by : Cardano, Gerolamo
Download or read book The Book on Games of Chance written by Cardano, Gerolamo and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics was only one area of interest for Gerolamo Cardano ― the sixteenth-century astrologer, philosopher, and physician was also a prolific author and inveterate gambler. Gambling led Cardano to the study of probability, and he was the first writer to recognize that random events are governed by mathematical laws. Published posthumously in 1663, Cardano's Liber de ludo aleae (Book on Games of Chance) is often considered the major starting point of the study of mathematical probability. The Italian scholar formulated some of the field's basic ideas more than a century before the better-known correspondence of Pascal and Fermat. Although his book had no direct influence on other early thinkers about probability, it remains an important antecedent to later expressions of the science's tenets.
