First edition.
Paul Lévy (1886-1971) French mathematician is among the founders of modern probability theory. We also owe him important considerations on the stable stochastic laws which bear his name as well as on martingales. In 1920, he was appointed professor of analysis at the École Polytechnique and on this occasion discovered the discipline that would leave his mark the most: the calculation of probabilities. It can be said that most of the essential concepts of probability theory derive from him.
