Publisher's Synopsis

Gambling led Cardano to the study of probability, and he formulated of some of the field's basic ideas more than a century before the better-known correspondence of Pascal and Fermat. Published posthumously in 1663, this volume had no direct influence on other early thinkers about probability but remains an important antecedent to later expressions of the science's tenets.
