Entropy Demystified : The Second Law Reduced to Plain Common
... While writing this book, I asked myself several times at exactly what point in time I decided that this book was worth writing. I think there were three such points. First, was the recognition of the crucial and the indispensable facts that matter is composed of a huge number of particles, and that ...

Notes on Bayesian Confirmation Theory

We will use the term credence until we are able to conclude that credences have the mathematical properties of probability; thereafter, we will call credences subjective probabilities. A credence is something like a person’s l ...

Stable Beliefs and Conditional Probability Spaces
... about them. In chapter 4 we will define our notion of r-stable beliefs. Our definition will be similar to Leitgeb’s, but we will allow conditioning on sets with measure 0 as well. We will also prove some important properties of r-stable sets. We will show that our r-stable sets are well-founded w.r. ...
