{wiki=Carl-Gustav_Esseen}
Carl-Gustav Esseen was a Swedish mathematician, best known for his contributions to probability theory and statistics. He made significant advancements in the field, particularly related to the central limit theorem, which describes the distribution of the sum of a large number of independent random variables. One of his notable works is the development of an inequality that provides a quantitative measure of how closely a distribution approximates a normal distribution, known as the Esseen's bound or Esseen's inequality.
