---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Bertrand's publications cover many fields of mathematics. His elegant studies on the theory of probability, of curves and surfaces, of differential equations and their application to analytical mechanics and of the theory of errors were widely read... In his Calcul des probabilités there is a problem in continuous probabilities known as Bertrand's paradox...". (DSB II p. 88) - Cajori pp. 340, 371, 374, 378**7467/N4

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "POISSON'S MAJOR WORK ON PROBABILITY" ---- In "Recherches sur la probabilité des jugements en matière criminelle et en matière civile", a work of considerable repute, Poisson defend the universality of the proabilistic thesis and demonstrate the conformability to the order of nature of the regularities that the calculus of probability, without recourse to hidden causes, reveals when things are subjected to a great number of observations. It is to Poisson that we owe the term "law of large numbers". He improved Laplace's work by relating it explicity to Jacob Bernoulli's fundamental theorem and by showing that the invariance in the prior probabilites of mutually exclusive events is not a necessary condition for calculating the approximate probabilities. It is lso from Poisson that we derive the study of a problem that Laplace had passed over, the case of great asymmetry beztween opposte events, such that the prior probability of either event is very small. The formula for evaluaton that he proposed for this case was not recognized or used ntil the end of the nineteenth century". (DSB Supplément p. 489)**8684/ARB6-7112/J1

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Borel's innovations are essential in twentieth century analysis and probability. He was the most successful mathematician of his generation in using specific problems and results as scientific parables pointing the way to broad theories that still remain fertile... His Leçons and other works laid the basis of measure theory so solidly that in that field the letter Borba de Moraes, eans Borel... . (DSB II pp. 302/305)**(8468)N4
