Ars Conjectandi
The Art of Conjecturing
Book •
Ars Conjectandi (The Art of Conjecturing) is a foundational work in probability theory written by Jacob Bernoulli and published posthumously in 1713.
This comprehensive treatise explores the principles of probability, combinatorics, and statistics, laying the groundwork for modern statistical inference.
Bernoulli introduces concepts such as the law of large numbers, which states that as the number of trials increases, the sample mean converges to the population mean.
The book also includes discussions of games of chance, mortality rates, and the application of probability to practical problems.
Ars Conjectandi is considered one of the most important works in the history of probability, shaping the development of statistical thinking and providing a foundation for future research.
