1.

He was a 16th century mathematician, who was the first to define that the probability of an
event to happen is the quotient of the number of the favourable outcomes and the number of
all outcomes. Who was he?

a. Stephen Baldwin b. Girolamo Cardano c. Blaise Pascal d. Richard Dedekind

2. He has been described as the greatest might-have-been in the history of mathematics.

A. Blaise Pascal C. Bonaventura Cavalier

B. Gaspard Monge D. Gregorio de Saint

3. Who published a treatise on trigonometry which contains the earliest use of our
abbreviations: sin, tan, sec, for sine, tangent and secant?

A. Gregorio de Saint C. Albert Gerard

B. John Napier D. Johann Herdde

4. He invented a method of determining the optical values of a linear function subject to a

certain constraints. This method is known as linear programming. Who is he?

A. George Canter C. George Dantzig

B. Bertrand Russel D. Richard Dedekind

5. An 18th century Swiss Mathematician, he introduced the Law of Large Numbers in his (The
art of Conjecture). In Statistics, This implies that the larger the sample , the more likely will
the sample become representative of the population. Who was he?

A. Girolamo Cardano C. Jacob Bernoulli
