What's Old is New, and What's New is Old!
Need a great intro. to probability theory and it's history? Well for more than than just the general overview provided by the link on the side, try reading:
Against All Odds: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter L. Bernstein published in 1996
and
the CLASSIC History of the Theory of Probability by Issac Todhunter published first in 1865. Trust me these two books compliment each other and you won't be dissappointed. They don't repeat each other, and you can't understand the topic completely without the information left out in both, but covered by the other.
