<!doctype html public «-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en»> http-equiv=content-type> Over the centuries, problems were proposed in stochastics and combinatorial mathematics that prompted ingenious solutions. This book offers selected important problems in historical sequence. The methods and arithmetic competencies once used to master these problems are still remarkable, and many techniques left a major imprint on the history of stochastics. The book will be of interest to both mathematicians and an educated lay readership.
