Talk:Ars Conjectandi/GA1

GA Review

Obviously not far off, a few points:

1. problem of points. - I would have found a half sentence gloss useful to have some idea what this was before following the link
2. Bernoulli produced a great deal of mathematical output between 1684 and 1689; he wrote Ars Conjectandi in this period. - Why not just , including Ars Conjectandi. ?
3. Bernoulli titled the work Ars Conjectandi because in it, he conjectured about the nature of theoretical probability.[citation needed] - there’s a fact tag
4. First equation ends in a comma, must be wrong since end of a sentence
5. probability achieving at least a number of successes - should there be an “of” somewhere?
6. Second equation - is the full stop MoS? Looks odd, but if you say it’s correct, fine
7. He presented probability problems related to these. In addition, he posed generalizations of the problems without specific constants. - Can’t this be one sentence?
8. Combinatorial methods to determine theoretical chances of outcomes of an event were referred to as "equity", and "probability" was used in a strictly empirical sense.[not in citation given] - Cite being queried
9. Thomas Simpson achieved a result that closely resembled de Moivre's. Thomas Bayes wrote an essay discussing theological implications of de Moivre's results. - Another sentence on each would be helpful, the first sentence really says nothing, and the second gives no clue to why it should have any implications.

1-7 (excluding 3) addressed; the other three I'll do soon. Thanks for taking the time to review this. Nousernamesleft (talk) 17:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Looks good to me, promoting to GA. jimfbleak (talk) 18:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
