Abstract

The Italian mathematician Antonio Bordoni is mainly known for his adherence to the Lagrangian approach to the foundations of calculus and for his role in creating an important school of mathematics. In this paper, I consider his less known work on the application of probability to design exams and analyze their outcomes. Within this framework, he obtained in 1837, as Mondésir and Poisson, the result that would lead Catalan to formulate his “new principle” of probability (Jongmans and Seneta, 1994). Moreover, in 1843, Bordoni also gave an early complete proof of the finite rule of succession.

概率与考试:安东尼奥·博尔多尼的作品

意大利数学家安东尼奥·博尔多尼(Antonio Bordoni)主要以坚持拉格朗日方法来建立微积分基础以及他在创建一个重要的数学流派方面所起的作用而闻名。在本文中，我考虑了他在应用概率来设计考试和分析考试结果方面鲜为人知的工作。在这个框架内，他在1837年获得了mondsamsir和Poisson的结果，该结果将导致Catalan制定他的概率“新原理”(Jongmans和Seneta, 1994)。此外，Bordoni在1843年也较早地给出了有限演替规则的完整证明。

期刊介绍： Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
