HPS 2422 - PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
We shall review the development of the notion that uncertainty and the chaos of chance may be tamed by the application of numbers. We trace its birth in the 17th century as a device for bloodlessly resolving gambling disputes; its growth through statistical theory into one on science's most important analytic tools; and its ascendance in the work of philosophically minded Bayesians as the framework of all belief.
