(no subject)
last night i decided to do my statistics homework. i opened my book and noticed a historical note on the side of the page, about some mathematician. i then thumbed through the entire book (over 1000 pages) looking for these historical blurbs and took notes on them. i then turned my notes in place of the assigned problems. here are some of the notes:
"He is reported to have been deeply religious, aristocratic, and conservative. He did not enjoy teaching and consequently had only a few students"
"The probability distribution named after him was later applied by the Polish statiscian L. Borkiewicz (1868-1931) to the modeling of rare events such as deaths by horse-kick in the Prussian Army."
"...which was published (in Latin) after his death."
"One of his early interests was how to teach to the blind."
"His work on posterior probabilities was discovered in his papers after his death."
"He graduated from Moscow State University in 1925 and in 1931 he was elected a professor there."
"Consequently the t-distribution is often referred to as Student's t-distribution."
i hope to get full credit.
