History

While the historical origins in the conception of uniform distribution are inconclusive, it is speculated that the term "uniform" arose from the concept of equiprobability in dice games (note that the dice games would have discrete and not continuous uniform sample space). Equiprobability was mentioned in Gerolamo Cardano 's Liber de Ludo Aleae, a manual written in 16th century and detailed on advanced probability calculus in relation to dice.
