The axiomatic melting pot. Teaching probability theory in Prague during the 1930's

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the teaching of probability theory in Prague and Czechoslovakia, in particular during the 1930's. We focus specially on a textbook, published in Prague by Karel Rychlik in 1938, which uses Kolmogorov's axiomatization, a very exceptional fact before World War II.
