Probability Theory: The Logic of Science (PDF) is a book written by the late physicist and mathematician E. T. Jaynes. The book presents a comprehensive and rigorous approach to probability theory, emphasizing its foundational role in science and the importance of Bayesian inference in statistical analysis.
Jaynes argues that probability theory should be seen as a logical framework for reasoning about uncertainty, rather than just a mathematical tool for calculating probabilities. He shows how the Bayesian approach to probability allows us to update our beliefs in the face of new evidence, and how it can be applied to a wide range of problems in science and everyday life.
