Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre nasceu no dia 26 de maio de 1667 em Vitry, França. Depois de passar cinco anos numa academia protestante em Sedan, Moivre estudou lógica em Saumur desde 1682 até 1684. Depois foi para Paris estudar no Collége de Harcourt. Protestante francês, Moivre teve de emigrar para a Inglaterra em 1685 devido à revogação parcial do Edicto de Nantes. Tornou-se professor particular de matemática e esperou por uma cadeira de matemática, mas não conseguiu, visto que os estrangeiros estavam em desvantagem. Em 1697 foi eleito membro da Royal Society. Moivre abriu caminho para o desenvolvimento da geometria analítica e a teoria das probabilidades. Publicou A Doutrina de Chance em 1718. A definição de independência estatística aparece neste livro junto com muitos problemas com dados e outros jogos. Investigou também estatísticas de mortalidade. Em Miscellanea Analytica (1730) aparece a fórmula de Stirling (injustamente atribuida a Stirling) que Moivre usou para derivar a curva normal como uma aproximação para a binomial. Na segunda edição do livro em 1738, Moivre dá crédito a Stirling por uma melhoria para a fórmula. Moivre é muitas vezes lembrado pelas suas fórmulas relacionadas com operações com números complexos na forma trigonométrica.

EECS 126 - Probability and Random Processes J. Walrand UNCERTAINTY AND RANDOMNESS Models and Physical Reality Concepts and Calculations Function of Hidden Variable Models and Physical Reality Probability Theory is a mathematical model of uncertainty. In these lectures, we introduce examples of uncertainty and we explain how the theory models them. It is important to appreciate the difference between uncertainty in the physical world and the models of Probability Theory. That difference is similar to that between laws of theoretical physics and the real world: even though mathematicians view the theory as standing on its own, when engineers use it, they see it as a model of the physical world. Consider flipping a fair coin repeatedly. Designate by and 1 the two possible outcomes of a coin flip (say for head and 1 for tail). This experiment takes place in the physical world. The outcomes are uncertain. This week, we try to appreciate the probability model of this experiment and to relate it to the physical reality. Concepts and Calculations In my twenty years of teaching probability models, I have always found that what is most subtle is the

Back to KISH Home Page Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre was born on May 26, 1667. Moivre was born at Vitry and died in London on November 27, 1754. Moivre was interested in mathematics when he started his education in England. He was introduced to mathematics when he found a copy of "Newton’s Principles". Trigonometry was first taken into analysis when De Moivre came up with the formula (cos x + I sin x)n. De Moivre is remembered by this formula by many mathematicians. De Moivre also pioneered the development of the Probability theory. This theory is the study of possible outcomes of given events together with their relative likelihoods and distributions. De Moivre also worked with Lambert, and came up with the formula (sin nx + I cos nx). This formula gives the quadratic factors. While figuring out these formulas he was also a tutor and then became a mathematician. De Moivre is also famous for a book that he had published in 1718. He published "The Doctrine of Chance". De Moivre thought that he should sleep 15 minutes longer each night and from this arithmetic progression he calculated that he would die on the day that he slept 24 hours. And he was right, he did die. He was not the only person that did this and was right because Cardan did it too.

Quizzing and Testing Recommended Readings Web Site Links Biographical Sketches Statistics in the News Applications Syllabus Generator Instructor's Manual ... PowerPoint Presentation BIOGRAPHY 8.2 Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre was born at Vitry, France, where his father was a surgeon. De Moivre studied mathematics and physics in Paris, but in 1685, after the Edict of Nantes was revoked, he was imprisoned for being a Protestant. When released three years later, he emigrated to England to escape religious persecution. He never returned to France and never published anything in French. By all accounts, he was a mathematical genius, and he was in constant touch (at the Royal Society) with the leading thinkers of his day, including Isaac Newton who became a close friend. Yet de Moivre never succeeded in obtaining a university appointment. He eked out a living by tutoring the sons of nobility and by advising gamblers and speculators. This unwelcome fate was posterity's gain, for his successful solution of the problems he met in his consulting practice led to his writing of two great books. His text on probability, The Doctrine of Chances , emanated from an article first published in Latin in 1711 and was published posthumously in its final and third edition in 1756. It is notable (among many other contributions) for the origin of the general laws of addition and multiplication of probabilities (discussed in text Chapter 8), for the origin of the binomial distribution law (discussed in Chapter 9), and for the origin of the formula for the normal curve (discussed in Chapter 10), which de Moivre discovered in 1733.

From the ages of 11 to 15 he studied Humanties at the Protestant College at Sedan. After that de Moivre studied logic at Samaur. It was only when his family moved to Paris did he become interested in mathematics. He studied at the College de Harcourt and took private maths lessons under the great Ozanam De Moivre emigrated to England in 1685 following the revecoation of the Edict of Nantes. Without friends, family and money the only thing he had going for him was his knowledge in mathematics. De Moivre established himself by tutoring maths to sons of nobleman.
