Pierre-Simon Laplace Pierre-Simon Laplace's father expected him to make a career in the Church. At the age of 16, Laplace entered Caen University to study theology. However, during his two years at the University of Caen, Laplace discovered his mathematical talents and his love of the subject. Consequently, he left Caen without taking his degree, and went to Paris. He took with him a letter of introduction to d'Alembert. Although Laplace was only 19 years old when he arrived in Paris he quickly impressed d'Alembert, so d'Alembert got him the job of professor of mathematics at the Ecole Militaire. Laplace's reputation steadily increased during the 1770's. The 1780's were the period in which Laplace produced the depth of results which have made him one of the most important and influential scientists that the world has seen. It does appear however that Laplace was not modest about his abilities and achievements, and he probably failed to recognise the effect of his attitude on his colleagues. Laplace let it be known widely that he considered himself the best mathematician in France. The effect on his colleagues was only mildly eased by the fact that Laplace was right. In 1780, Laplace and the chemist Lavoisier showed respiration to be a form of combustion. This work with Lavoisier marked the beginning of a third important area of research for Laplace, namely his work on the theory of heat, which he worked on towards the end of his career.

The son of a small farmer, he became connected with the military school of his town, first as pupil, then as teacher. At the age of eighteen he went to Paris, and, after convincing d'Alembert of his talents by a letter on the principles of mechanics, obtained a professorship at the military school of the capital. Later he became examiner of the royal artillery (1784) and professor at the Ecole Normale. During the political changes in France he sought favour with Revolution , consul, emperor, and king. In 1799 he accepted from the consul the post of minister of the interior, but, after six weeks, was removed for administrative incapacity. He was a member and even chancellor (1803) of the Senate, and great officer of the Legion of Honour and of the new Order of Reunion. After the downfall of Napoleon Boston (1829-39) in four volumes.

Pierre-Simon Laplace French mathematician and physicist who survived the Ancien Regime , the Revolutionary Era, and the Restoration. His major contributions to science belong to two fields: the "celestial mechanics" (explanation and reconstruction of astronomical movements by means of Newtonian mechanics) and the probability theory. It seems that the combination of these two are already established at the beginning of his career (around 1774), as well as the idea of famous "Laplace's demon". He frequently says that he was led to new results in the former by considerations of probability. Whether or not we take this remark seriously, he was certainly one of the leading figures in the formation of probabilistic method in science. However, it must pointed out that many of the extra assumptions for the applications of "inverse method of probability" (essentially the same as Bayes's theorem) were often brought in through the "principle of indifference". For instance, his "rule of succession" (for obtaining the probability of new events on the basis of past observations) clearly smuggles in principles of enumerative induction of one form or another by the application of the principle of idifference. All the same, he is one of the few giants in the history of probability and statistics.

Laplace, Pierre-Simon (17491827) Mathematician and astronomer, Laplace was born in Normandy, France. He attended the University of Caen and then at age 19 moved to Paris to teach at the École militaire. From 1795 to 1799, he taught at the École polytechnique Laplace initially made an impact by solving a complex problem of mutual gravitation that had eluded both Euler and Lagrange Laplace was among the most influential scientists of his time and was called the Newton of France for his study of and contributions to the understanding of the stability of the solar system. Laplace generalized the laws of mechanics for their application to the motion and properties of the heavenly bodies. He is also famous for his great treatises entitled M canique c leste (17991825) and Th orie analytique des probabilit s They were advanced in large part by the mathematical techniques that Laplace developed early in his life; most notably among those techniques are generating functions, differential operators, and definite integrals Major publications: M canique c leste, Th

HOME PAGE Pierre-Simon Laplace, 1749-1827: A Life in Exact Science Charles Coulston Gillispie With the collaboration of Robert Fox and Ivor Grattan-Guinness Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Pierre-Simon Laplace was among the most influential scientists in history. Often referred to as the lawgiver of French science, he is known for his technical contributions to exact science, for the philosophical point of view he developed in the presentation of his work, and for the leading part he took in forming the modern discipline of mathematical physics. His two most famous treatises were the five-volume (1799-1825) and (1812). In the former he demonstrated mathematically the stability of the solar system in service to the universal Newtonian law of gravity. In the latter he developed probability from a set of miscellaneous problems concerning games, averages, mortality, and insurance risks into the branch of mathematics that permitted the quantification of estimates of error and the drawing of statistical inferences, wherever data warranted, in social, medical, and juridical matters, as well as in the physical sciences. This book traces the development of Laplace's research program and of his participation in the Academy of Science during the last decades of the Old Regime into the early years of the French Revolution. A scientific biography by Charles Gillispie comprises the major portion of the book. Robert Fox contributes an account of Laplace's attempt to form a school of young physicists who would extend the Newtonian model from astronomy to physics, and Ivor Grattan-Guinness summarizes the history of the scientist's most important single mathematical contribution, the Laplace Transform.
