## Summary

Probability is the mathematics of uncertainty. It quantifies how often things happen — or, on a different reading, how much we should believe they will. Key sections include: Proba bility.; Opening What probability is.; Chapter I Gambling problems.; Chapter II Cardano's Liber de ludo aleae.; Chapter III The 1654 correspondence.; Chapter IV The first textbook.; Chapter V The law of large numbers.; Chapter VI The normal approximation.; Chapter VII Bayes's theorem.; Chapter VIII Laplace, the consolidator..
