Abstract
In this paper, we are interested in the teaching of probability theory in Prague and Czechoslovakia, in particular during the 1930s. We focus specially on a textbook, published in Prague by Karel Rychlík in 1938, which uses Kolmogorovs axiomatization, a very exceptional fact before World War II.
Abstract (in Czech)
Práce se zabývá otázkou výuky teorie pravděpodobnosti v Praze a v Československu, především ve 30. letech 20. století. Autoři se zabývají podrobně učebnicí Karla Rychlíka z roku 1938, ve které nacházíme Kolmogorovovu axiomatizaci teorie pravděpodobnosti, což je jev velmi vzácný před druhou světovou válkou.
