Description:
Probability Theory and Related Fields was founded in 1962 under the title 'Zeitschrift für Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie und verwandte Gebiete'. The first Managing Editor was L. Schmetterer (1919 - 2004), who wrote this in the first issue: "Until about 30 years ago, the theory of probability and its applications were somewhat isolated mathematical disciplines. Then, following a period of remarkable development that is not yet completed by any means, probability theory became an important domain of mathematics, intimately connected with other domains, especially with analysis and number theory. In addition, it leads a life of its own, all by itself and in its manifold applications. | Springer
