| Abstract: |
| Art of Conjecturing is the first foundational work on the theory of probability. Its publication symbolizes the independence of the theory of probability as a branch of mathematics. This paper analyses Jacob Bernoulli's new thoughts about probability, such as Bernoulli's law of large numbers and Bernoulli's number. Besides, we clear up the problem about the arranger and publisher of Art of Conjecturing. |
