The reasons for this are on one hand the immense popularity of soccer albums (called Paninimania) and on the other hand that no solution is known that is able to take into account all effects such as replacement (limited purchasing of missing stickers) or swapping. In previous papers we have proven that the classical assumptions are not fulfilled in practice. Therefore we define new assumptions that match reality. Based on these assumptions we are able to derive formulae for the mean number of stickers needed (and the associated standard deviation) that are able to take into account all effects that occur in practical collecting. Thus collectors can estimate the average cost of completion of an album and its standard deviation just based on elementary calculations. From a practical point of view we consider the Coupon Collector's problem as solved. \u0000----- \u0000Das Sammelbilderproblem ist eines der wenigen mathematischen Probleme, die regelmasig in den Schlagzeilen der Nachrichten vorkommen. Dies liegt einerseits an der grosen Popularitat von Fusball-Sammelbildern (Paninimania genannt) und andererseits daran, dass es bisher keine Losung gibt, die alle relevanten Effekte wie Nachkaufen oder Tauschen berucksichtigt. Wir haben bereits nachgewiesen, dass die klassischen Annahmen nicht der Realitat entsprechen. Deshalb stellen wir neue Annahmen auf, die die Praxis besser abbilden. Darauf aufbauend konnen wir Formeln fur die mittlere Anzahl benotigter Bilder (sowie deren Standardabweichung) ableiten, die alle in der Praxis relevanten Effekte berucksichtigen. Damit konnen Sammler die mittleren Kosten eines Albums sowie deren Standardabweichung nur mit Hilfe von elementaren Rechnungen bestimmen. Fur praktische Zwecke ist das Sammelbilderproblem damit gelost.","PeriodicalId":429168,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: History and Overview","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133771706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was only in 1861 that the epsilon-delta method manifested itself to the full in Weierstrass de_nition of a limit.
