probability-theory

Probability theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the analysis of random phenomena and uncertainty. It provides a framework for quantifying the likelihood of various outcomes, allowing us to make informed predictions and decisions based on incomplete information. Originating in the 1600s with mathematicians like Pascal and Fermat, probability theory has evolved to intersect with fields such as statistics, data science, and machine learning. Understanding its fundamental concepts is essential for tackling complex problems in these areas, as it helps us navigate the inherent uncertainties of real-world situations and make reasoned assumptions about future events.
