RE: https://mstdn.social/@QuantaMagazine/117509698219865428 First textbook on probability theory, published in 1718? Not even close. Christiaan Huygens's Van Rekeningh in Spelen van Geluck was translated and published as De Ratiociniis in Ludo Aleae in 1657; the Dutch version was published in 1660 by Frans van Schooten as well. 1/2
