The Probability Integral: Its Origin, Its Importance, and Its Calculation Nahin Paul J.
This book tells the story of the probability integral, the approaches to analyzing it throughout history, and the many areas of science where it arises. Stubbornly resistant to the undergraduate toolkit for handling integrals, calculating its value and investigating its properties occupied such mathematical luminaries as De Moivre, Laplace, Poisson, and Liouville. The so-called probability integral, the integral over the real line of a Gaussian function, occurs ubiquitously in mathematics, physics, engineering and probability theory.
The author also takes entertaining diversions into areas of math, science, and engineering where the probability integral arises: as well as being indispensable to probability theory and This book introduces the probability integral, puts it into a historical context, and describes the different approaches throughout history to evaluate and analyze it.
