Auteur : Feller William
Coordonnateurs : Schilling René L., Vondraček Zoran, Woyczyński Wojbor A.
This extensive selection of William Feller?s scientific papers shows the breadth of his oeuvre as well as the historical development of his scientific interests. Six seminal papers ? originally written in German ? on the central limit theorem, the law of large numbers, the foundations of probability theory, stochastic processes and mathematical biology are now, for the first time, available in English. The material is accompanied by detailed scholarly comments on Feller?s work and its impact, a complete bibliography, a list of his PhD students as well as a biographic sketch of his life with a sample of pictures from Feller?s family album.
William Feller was one of the leading mathematicians in the development of probability theory in the 20th century. His work continues to be highly influential, in particular in the theory of stochastic processes, limit theorems and applications of mathematics to biology. These volumes will be of value to all those interested in probability t
heory, analysis, mathematical biology and the history of mathematics.Preface.-Curriculum Vitae: William Feller 1906–1970.- Bibliography of William Feller.- List of PhD Students.- Z.W.
