In this context the book also describes the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools, such as characteristic functions or moments. The central limit theorem was originally deduced by Laplace as a statement about approximations for the distributions of sums of independent random variables within the framework of classical probability, which focused upon specific problems and applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking this theorem an autonomous mathematical object was very important for the development of modern probability theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Fischer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1461427010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781461427018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.86d","brand":"Hans Fischer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058544537855,"sku":"9781461427018","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2ed4e41-e900-472b-ae2d-0883d25f3385.jpg?v=1685053174","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-central-hans-fischer-9781461427018","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
