This is a overview/review of E.T. Jaynes’ textbook on Bayesian probability theory, appropriately named Probability Theory (GoodReads, Publisher).
This post is split into 3 parts:
A fast high level overview, to provide background for the next two questions. My answer to the question "should you read this book?" A mildly more detailed breakdown of the book into chunks, paired chapters that share a theme. The intent is to provide a map where certain material is, to help readers just hit the parts they want to.
