'''Probability''' is a way of expressing [[knowledge]] or [[belief]] that an event will occur or has occurred. In [[mathematics]] the [[concept]] has been given an exact meaning in probability theory, that is used extensively in such areas of study as mathematics, [[statistics]], [[finance]], gambling, science, and philosophy to draw conclusions about the likelihood of [[potential]] [[events]] and the underlying [[mechanics]] of [[complex]] [[systems]].

The word probability does not have a consistent direct definition. In [[fact]], there are sixteen broad categories of probability [[interpretation]]s, whose adherents possess different (and sometimes conflicting) views about the fundamental [[nature]] of probability:

In the nineteenth century authors on the general theory included Laplace, Sylvestre Lacroix (1816), Littrow (1833), Adolphe Quetelet (1853), Richard Dedekind (1860), Helmert (1872), Hermann Laurent (1873), Liagre, Didion, and Karl Pearson. Augustus De Morgan and George Boole improved the exposition of the theory.
