Abstract

Probability theory has become a topic of interest in modern mathematics not only because of its growing significance in natural sciences, but also because of the gradually emerging deep connections of this theory with many problems in various fields of pure mathematics. It seems that the formulas of probability calculus express one of the fundamental groups of general mathematical laws.

  3. Of course, everything that follows can be presented without introducing the notion of metric type as based on the “subdivision” axiom. Instead the notion of metric “equality” of sets can be used.
