Book Description
La théorie des probabilités concerne la modélisation du hasard et le calcul des probabilités, son évaluation. La statistique fournit des outils pour la caractérisation du hasard à partir de son observation et constitue un outil incontournable d'aide à la décision. Ce livre présente la théorie des probabilités et de la statistique généralement enseignée aux ingénieurs. Tout en consacrant plus d'espace aux probabilités, il contient tous les sujets essentiels de la statistique. Il comporte trois parties : la première est une introduction à la théorie des probabilités, la deuxième partie est consacrée à l'étude des processus de Markov à temps discret et continu et aux systèmes de files d'attente, la troisième partie aborde des sujets d'usage courant de la statistique inférentielle : l'estimation, la théorie des tests et la régression linéaire. L'accent est mis sur les applications des résultats théoriques. Des exercices corrigés extraits de divers champs d'application et des programmes de simulation accompagnent chaque chapitre de l'ouvrage. Les algorithmes de simulation sont traduits en langage MATLAB en vertu de la simplicité de la syntaxe de ce dernier et de son accessibilité à bon nombre de scientifiques. Les fonctions prédéfinies dans les boîtes à outils accompagnant le logiciel MATLAB ne sont pas systématiquement utilisées afin de permettre au lecteur de traduire les programmes proposés dans n'importe quel autre langage. Ce manuel s'adresse principalement aux étudiants en génie et en sciences appliquées. Il intéresse également les enseignants, les chercheurs, les ingénieurs (génie logiciel, télécommunication, maintenance, finance) et constitue un support de cours dans les écoles d'ingénieurs et les universités.

Changing Images in Mathematics
Author: Umberto Bottazini
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134698747
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This book focuses on some of the major developments in the history of contemporary (19th and 20th century) mathematics as seen in the broader context of the development of science and culture. Avoiding technicalities, it displays the breadth of contrasting images of mathematics favoured by different countries, schools and historical movements, showing how the conception and practice of mathematics changed over time depending on the cultural and national context. Thus it provides an original perspective for embracing the richness and variety inherent in the development of mathematics. Attention is paid to the interaction of mathematics with themes whose proper treatment have been neglected by the traditional historiography of the discipline, such as the relationship between mathematics, statistics and medicine.

Exploring Probability in School
Author: Graham A. Jones
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0387245308
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 394
Book Description
Exploring Probability in School provides a new perspective into research on the teaching and learning of probability. It creates this perspective by recognizing and analysing the special challenges faced by teachers and learners in contemporary classrooms where probability has recently become a mainstream part of the curriculum from early childhood through high school. The authors of the book discuss the nature of probability, look at the meaning of probabilistic literacy, and examine student access to powerful ideas in probability during the elementary, middle, and high school years. Moreover, they assemble and analyse research-based pedagogical knowledge for teachers that can enhance the learning of probability throughout these school years. With the book’s rich application of probability research to classroom practice, it will not only be essential reading for researchers and graduate students involved in probability education; it will also capture the interest of educational policy makers, curriculum personnel, teacher educators, and teachers.

Normality
Author: Peter Cryle
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022648419X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 447
Book Description
The concept of normal is so familiar that it can be hard to imagine contemporary life without it. Yet the term entered everyday speech only in the mid-twentieth century. Before that, it was solely a scientific term used primarily in medicine to refer to a general state of health and the orderly function of organs. But beginning in the middle of the twentieth century, normal broke out of scientific usage, becoming less precise and coming to mean a balanced condition to be maintained and an ideal to be achieved. In Normality, Peter Cryle and Elizabeth Stephens offer an intellectual and cultural history of what it means to be normal. They explore the history of how communities settle on any one definition of the norm, along the way analyzing a fascinating series of case studies in fields as remote as anatomy, statistics, criminal anthropology, sociology, and eugenics. Cryle and Stephens argue that since the idea of normality is so central to contemporary disability, gender, race, and sexuality studies, scholars in these fields must first have a better understanding of the context for normality. This pioneering book moves beyond binaries to explore for the first time what it does—and doesn’t—mean to be normal.

Probability and Social Science
Author: Daniel Courgeau
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400728786
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This work examines in depth the methodological relationships that probability and statistics have maintained with the social sciences from their emergence. It covers both the history of thought and current methods. First it examines in detail the history of the different paradigms and axioms for probability, from their emergence in the seventeenth century up to the most recent developments of the three major concepts: objective, subjective and logicist probability. It shows the statistical inference they permit, different applications to social sciences and the main problems they encounter. On the other side, from social sciences—particularly population sciences—to probability, it shows the different uses they made of probabilistic concepts during their history, from the seventeenth century, according to their paradigms: cross-sectional, longitudinal, hierarchical, contextual and multilevel approaches. While the ties may have seemed loose at times, they have more often been very close: some advances in probability were driven by the search for answers to questions raised by the social sciences; conversely, the latter have made progress thanks to advances in probability. This dual approach sheds new light on the historical development of the social sciences and probability, and on the enduring relevance of their links. It permits also to solve a number of methodological problems encountered all along their history.
