Earliest Uses of Symbols in Probability and Statistics This page has largely been contributed by John Aldrich of the University of Southampton. It was last updated on March 9, 2005. The origins of both probability and statistics are usually traced to the 17 th century. Over the centuries these subjects have been in contact with each other and with other branches of mathematics and science. The story is treated, in more or less detail, by Tankard (1984), Stigler (1986) Hald (1986, 1998). The late 19 th and early 20 th century origins of modern probability theory are treated by von Plato (1994). For probability and statistics entries on the Words pages, see here for a list. Contents The entries below are organised as follows. Because of the interconnectedness of the histories the categories overlap. Combinatorial analysis : Many of the symbols of elementary combinatorial analysis found in modern probability and statistics books were created in the 19 th century. In 19 th century Britain probability was most visible in algebra textbooks as an application of combinatorial analysis. The normal distribution , also known as the Gaussian distribution, the second law of Laplace, the law of error ... , has been studied since the 18

Math Words, pg 2 Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Calendar comes to us from the name of a bookkeeping ledger, and indirectly from the ancient Roman practice of starting each month on a new moon. In the earliest Roman calendars, as in many early societies, the cycle of social events was based on the moon. The date of the new moon would signal a new month and the first day of the month was called the kalends . Many official practices would occur on this date. The community would gather to hear the announcement of the dates on which the "nones" (nine days before the full moon), and the "ides" (the full moon) would occur, and then, as now, the people you owed money would come around looking for their due. The money lenders of ancient Rome kept their accounts in a record book and it became known as a kalendarium . Eventually, the name was applied to the record of dates that we now call a calendar. The genus of the common Pot Marigold, calendula, is from the same root, seemingly because it was thought to be a cure for menstrual disorders. You can find an extensive discussion on the history of calendars, including Gregorian, Julian, Egyptian, Mayan, Islamic, Jewish, Persian and more at

Niches in the hall of fame. The symbol p used by the early English mathematicians William Oughtred Isaac Barrow , and David Gregory to designate the circumference, or periphery-, of a circle. The first to use the symbol for the ratio of the circumference to the diameter was the English writer William Jone 1675-1749), in a publication in 1706. The symbol was not general]-.- used in this sense, however, until Euler adopted it in 1737. The symbol n!, called factorial n, to represent the product (1) (2) (3). . .(n-2) (n-l ) (n), was introduced in 1808 by Christian Kramp (1760-1826) or Strasbourg. He chose the symbol so as to circumvent printing dilly'' ties incurred by a previously used symbol. Of the considerable mathematical writings and contributions of Jones and Kramp , the above are undoubtedly the only by which they will, to any degree, be remembered by posterity. It is interesting to remark here that Kramp's use of exclamation point in connection with factorial n, led to the adoption e. an associated symbol in combinatorial mathematics. In 1878, introduced subfactorial n, defined by

Earliest Uses of Symbols of Operation and Grouping Last revision: Aug. 15, 1997 ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SYMBOLS Plus (+) and minus (-). The plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et (and), though appearing with the downward stroke not quite vertical, was found in a manuscript dated 1417 (Cajori). The + and - symbols first appeared in print in Mercantile Arithmetic or Behende und hubsche Rechenung auff allen Kauffmanschafft , by Johannes Widmann (born c. 1460), published in Leipzig in 1489. However, they referred not to addition or subtraction or to positive or negative numbers, but to surpluses and deficits in business problems (Cajori vol. 1, page 128). Cajori says, "There is clear evidence that, as a lecturer at the University of Leipzig, Widmann had studied manuscripts in the Dresden library in which + and - signify operations, some of these having been written as early as 1486." Johnson (page 144) says a series of notes from 1481, annotated by Widmann, contain the + and - symbols, and he asks whether Widman could have copied these symbols from some unknown professor at the University of Leipzig. Johnson also says that a student's notes from one of Widmann's 1486 lectures show the + and - signs. Giel Vander Hoecke used + and - as symbols of operation in Een sonderlinghe boeck in dye edel conste Arithmetica

Introduction On the topic of mathematical symbols..... "Every meaningful mathematical statement can also be expressed in plain language. Many plain-language statements of mathematical expressions would fill several pages, while to express them in mathematical notation might take as little as one line. One of the ways to achieve this remarkable compression is to use symbols to stand for statements, instructions and so on." Lancelot Hogben Index The factorial symbol n!

This is written as n ! and pronounced " n factorial". The notation n ! was introduced by Christian Kramp in Since the exclamation mark , "!", is sometimes pronounced "bang" or "shriek", these words are occasionally used colloquially for "factorial" in pronouncing equations like n 1 Definition The factorial function is formally defined by For example, This definition implies in particular that because the product of no numbers at all is 1 (see empty product for an account of that fact). Proper attention to the value of the empty product is important in this case, because it makes the recursive relation ( n n n + 1) work for n many identities in combinatorics would not work for zero sizes without this definition.

It was created by a committee formed in the for the express purpose of defining such a language. The latest semi-official language standard is Haskell 98 , intended to specify a minimal, portable version of the language for teaching and as a base for future extensions. The language continues to evolve rapidly, with Hugs and GHC (see below) representing the current de facto standard. Interesting Haskell features include support for recursive functions and datatypes, pattern matching list comprehension s and guard statement s. The combination of such features can make functions which would be difficult to write in a procedural programming language almost trivial to implement in Haskell. The language is, as of 2002, the functional language on which the most research is being performed. Several variants have been developed: parallelizable versions from
