Why Read “PROBABILItY, Statistics and Truth” by Richard Von Mises Now

Abstract

Richard von Mises wrote Probability, Statistics and Truth on his axiomatization of probability, which is based on the collective. Although his probability theory was supplanted by Kolgomorov, this book is still relevant to the teaching of probability, statistics, and science today. This work highlights some outstanding elements of the book and describes their implications on teaching practice.
