Editing Applied probability (section)

==History==
Having initially been defined at a symposium of the [[American Mathematical Society]] in the later 1950s, the term "applied probability" was popularized by [[M. S. Bartlett|Maurice Bartlett]] through the name of a [[Methuen Publishing|Methuen]] monograph series he edited, ''Applied Probability and Statistics''. The area did not have an established outlet until 1964, when the [[Journal of Applied Probability]] came into existence through the efforts of [[Joe Gani]].<ref>{{cite journal|title=A Conversation with Joe Gani|last=Heyde|first=Chris|authorlink=Chris Heyde|work=[[Statistical Science]]|volume=10|issue=2|pages=214–230|year=1995|url=https://projecteuclid.org/journals/statistical-science/volume-10/issue-2/A-Conversation-with-Joe-Gani/10.1214/ss/1177010039.pdf}}</ref>
