Chapter 3 Regression and correlation: geometrical distance and equivalent distances in two orthogonal directions as a prerequisite to the concept of two regression lines, misleading in interpreting two regression lines, derivation of the two regression lines, Was Hubble right? Houbolt's cloud, What in fact measures the correlation coefficient?; chapter 4 Binomial distribution: middle ages origins of the binomials; figurate numbers and combinatorial rules, Pascal's Arithmetical Triangle, Bernoulli's or Poisson Trials? John Arbuthnot curing binomials, how Newton taught S.
