Brief History of Probability Notes

Tuesday September 3rd, the first day of our semester, I needed to cover teaching for our professor teaching BST/BIOSTATS 230 Probability I, so as part of that I got to lecture on the history of probability as an academic field, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I needed to stick roughly to the gist of his pre-existing slides, but I wanted to give some of my own emphasis to what I presented, so I wrote some lecture notes to go along with the slides.

Please find them attached (2024-09-03-notes_for_day_1.pdf).
