Probability theory is one of the most important areas of mathematics from the point of view of applications. In this book we do not attempt to introduce even the most basic notions of probability theory; our only goal is to illustrate the importance of combinatorial results about Pascal’s Triangle by explaining a key result in probability theory, the Law of Large Numbers. To do so, we have to talk a little about what probability is.
