Born 20 November 1917, Leonard Jimmie Savage graduated from the University of Michigan and later worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey; the University of Chicago; and the Statistical Research Group at Columbia University.

Quotes by Leonard J. Savage (?)

“It is unanimously agreed that statistics depends somehow on probability.
