Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827) is remembered among probabilitists today particularly for his "Theorie analytique des probabilites", published in 1812. The "Essai philosophique dur les probabilites" is his introduction for the second edition of this work. Here Laplace provided a popular exposition on his "Theorie". The "Essai", based on a lecture on probability given by Laplace in 1794, underwent sweeping changes, almost doubling in size, in the various editions published during Laplace's lifetime. Translations of various editions in different languages have apeared over the years. The only English translation of 1902 reads awkwardly today. This is a thorough and modern translation based on the recent re-issue, with its voluminous notes, of the fifth edition of 1826, with preface by Rene Thom and postscript by Bernard Bru. In the second part of the book, the reader is provided with an extensive commentary by the translator including valuable histographical and mathematical remarks and various proofs.

A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities is a book written by French mathematician Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace. While less well known than some of his contemporaries, Laplace is still considered one of the great mathematicians of all time, and is occasionally referred to as the French Isaac Newton. A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities is described perfectly by its title. The work sees Laplace outline his system for reasoning based solely on probabilities. The book is divided into two parts: The first part is the author's philosophical essay on probabilities, which provides the reader with a general overview of probabilities and the general principals of the calculus of probabilities; Part two is the more significant portion of the book, and is an application of the calculus of probabilities discussed in part one. The work introduces "the rule of succession," a famous rule of probability that calculates the likely success of a trial based on the number of times it has succeeded in the past. Pierre-Simon Laplace's work is a fascinating read, especially of interest to those with a background in mathematics and science. Given the original publication date and translation into English, the book is surprisingly readable. That being said, this book may well be considered a challenging read by many the professional and amateur mathematician. A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities is the work of one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. While challenging at times, Pierre-Simon Laplace's book is an essential addition to the library of anybody interested in probabilities, and is highly recommended to all those studying science or mathematics.

When the revised theory of quantum mechanics, postulating a probabilistic rather than a deterministic universe, was first introduced in the 1920s, Albert Einstein famously refused to believe that "God plays dice with the universe," and he spent the rest of his life trying to prove it.Quantum theory, however, survived his efforts, and it seems that the universe is very much based on random probabilities. The universe has not descended into chaos because random events are strictly governed by the universal laws of mathematics, a fact that casinos depend upon. So the odds of a broken teacup spontaneously reassembling itself, are not impossible, just extremely unlikely.In 1812, long before quantum theory was ever proposed, the French scholar, Pierre-Simon Laplace, issued his Théorie analytique des probabilités in which he laid down many of the fundamental mathematical principles governing probability. Two years later, he wrote this book concerning the philosophy behind his theory. Although its application to gambling is obvious, his theory applies to many scientific fields.Enjoyment of this work, which is a 1906 translation from French into English by two American university professors, does not require a deep understanding of mathematics to enjoy and appreciate.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
