This is an informal summer seminar on a topic of general interest

A review of ‘A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities’ by Pierre Simon, Marquis de Laplace In this influential book, the legendary French mathematician Laplace presents many elegantly-composed thoughts on probability and inference, including his original formulation of Bayes’ theorem (which in truth is named after Bayes in an example of Stigler’s Law of Eponymy). I have read this book so you don’t have to, although it’s actually very good.
