My theorem becomes ever more famous
After only about 250 years, it seems the mainstream and the laypeople
are at last hearing about the eponymous Bayes' Theorem. (What a shame that some professional mathematicians have not managed to do the same). Here's a review from the Boston Globe (the Boston in the New World, that
is) about the "first-ever account of Bayes’ rule for general readers",
according to its publishers:
'The Theory That Would Not Die: How Bayes' Rule Cracked the Enigma
Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two
Centuries of Controversy' by Sharon Bertsch McGrayne. Read quite a lot of it for free at Google Books, or --- like me --- buy a copy
pour encourager les autres.
