This famous little book was first published in German in 1933 and in Russian a few years later, setting forth the axiomatic foundations of modern probability theory and cementing the author's reputation as a leading authority in the field.

It remains a foundational text for the understanding of probability theory, important both to students beginning a serious study of the topic and to historians of modern mathematics.
