Description

Explore the connection between literature and mathematics in The Game of Probability: Literature and Calculation from Pascal to Kleist. Published by Stanford University Press, this work challenges the idea that literary and scientific histories of probability exist separately. Instead, it examines how mathematical probability evolved from the earlier traditions of poets, orators, and logicians. This book provides a deep look into the seventeenth and eighteenth-century probabilistic revolution. It traces how mathematical probability took on the roles previously held by classical traditions, arguing that modern scientific probability could not have developed without its roots in antiquity. It is an essential read for those interested in how calculation and literature meet through history.
