Designing Experiments and Games of Chance: The Unconventional Science of Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal is remembered more for his contributions to religious philosophy, but he made significant contributions to physics and probability theory, according to Shea (history of sciences, U. of Padua, Italy). He portrays Pascal as embarking on a radically different way of looking at the world, a way that is now familiar to us. The scientific work of Pascal and the debates it often sparked are summarized in thematic chapters. Science History Publications is a division of Watson Publishing.
