Probability theory is a branch of mathematics concerned with probability, which is expressed through a set of axioms and assigned a measure between 0 and 1. It is used to describe the behavior of random events, and is essential for quantitative analysis in many fields. It also applies to complex systems and physical phenomena at atomic scales, as described in quantum mechanics.
