Sobre este artículo
Paris: Gauthier-Villars, 1912 Second edition. Contemporary half calf. Spine richly gilt-decorated, red label. . Octavo. A fine copy, wkitht he original wrappers bound in. Henry Poincaré (1854-1912) was one of the most versatile mathematicians, physicists, and philosophers of the pre-modern era. He came extremely close to announcing the special theory of relativity just months before Einstein. In this treatise on probability theory, Poincaré introduces the foundation of modern ergodic theory, and expands on Gauss's law of large numbers. Whereas Gauss (in Theoria Motus) proved the normal law of error by assuming that the probability of a certain deviation depends only on the magnitude of the deviation, Poincaré relaxes this assumption and shows that a law much more general than the Gaussian distribution may be deduced. (See Whittaker, The Calculus of Observations, p. 218.)

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
