Thanks for publishing this, again.
As I get older I appreciate history more.I always thought the Gaussian distribution, i.e. normal bell shaped curve, was named after Gauss because he invented/discovered it.Apparently, de Moivre first used it in this book to approximate the binomial distribution (see Johnson and Kotz) and Gauss made it popular with new fangled uses in astronomy.Now I have a version of the original book and can check myself.

Its a pretty darn usefull distribution, the normal distribution, that's for sure. ... Read more

Product Description
In the year 1716 Abraham de Moivre published his Doctrine of Chances, in which the subject of Mathematical Probability took several long strides forward. A few years later came his Treatise of Annuities. When the third (and final) edition of the Doctrine was published in 1756 it appeared in one volume together with a revised edition of the work on Annuities. It is this latter two-volumes-in-one that is presented here in an exact photographic reprint, with a series of problems of progressive interest, followed by full solutions and an afterword by H.M. Walker. ... Read more
