Resumo: We examine the concept of probability from its emergence within the realm of the games of chance and the development of the theory of probability until the appearance of the treatise of Kolmogorov on this subject. The discipline related to that theory is framed as the science of aleatory events. Probability is understood as a primitive concept represented by a measure assigned to the space of events and obeying the fundamental postulates of the theory. The measurement of probability is the ratio of the number of the observed favorable outcomes and the total number of observed outcomes when these numbers are larger enough.
