A History of the Central Limit Theorem From Classical to Modern Probability Theory /

This study aims to embed the history of the central limit theorem within the history of the development of probability theory from its classical to its modern shape, and, more generally, within the corresponding development of mathematics. The history of the central limit theorem is not only express...
