Eric T. Bell O. H ea viside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non­ Iinearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service. topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .':: 'One service logic has rendered com­ puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d 'e1:re of this series.

About this title

Synopsis

Revised, updated, and translated from the 1989 Russian edition, describes the application of the method of cumulants to limit theorems on large deviations, in such a manner as to be of interest to researchers and graduate students working on probability theory, mathematical statistics, or the application of either. The method can be used to investi
