Although he used the pseudonym John Noon to publish his non-mathematical Divine Benevolence, he is more famous for a work that was published after his death thanks to the efforts of his friend Richard Price.
In one work, this man showed the divergence of the asymptotic series of log z! [z factorial] proposed by James Stirling and Abraham de Moivre, the latter of which may have tutored him. Although he used the pseudonym John Noon to publish his non-mathematical Divine Benevolence, he is more famous for a work that was published after his death thanks to the efforts of his friend Richard Price. In 1736, he published an attack on George Berkeley's The Analyst entitled An Introduction to the Doctrine of Fluxions. George Boole criticized his Essay Towards Solving a Problem in the Doctrine of Chances, which introduced his best known concept and laid the groundwork for his namesake probability. For 10 points, name this British mathematician whose namesake theorem states that the probability of event A given event B is equal to the probability of B given A times the probability of B divided by the probability of A.
