Robert Adrain From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Robert Adrain September 30 August 10 ) was a scientist and mathematician He was born in Carrickfergus Ireland , but left Ireland after the failure of the uprising of the United Irishmen in and moved to Princeton, New Jersey . He taught mathematics at various schools in the United States He is chiefly remembered for his formulation of the method of least squares , published in 1808. Adrain certainly did not know of the work of C.F. Gauss on least squares (published 1809), although it is possible that he had read A.M. Legendre 's article on the topic (published 1804). Adrain, Gauss, and Legendre all motivated the method of least squares by the problem of reconciling disparate physical measurements; in the case of Gauss and Legendre, the measurements in question were astronomical, and in Adrain's case they were survey measurements. Adrain died in New Brunswick New Jersey edit References The Analyst, or Mathematical Museum

Robert Adrain Born: 30 Sept 1775 in Carrickfergus, Ireland Died: 10 Aug 1843 in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA Click the picture above to see a larger version Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing The names of Robert Adrain 's parents are unknown but we do know that his father was a schoolteacher and that he made mathematical instruments. When Adrain was about fifteen years of age both his parents died. Adrain received a good education but this education did not include any mathematics beyond arithmetic. His own curiosity, however, led him to study books on mathematics which explained algebraic notation and so he became essentially a self-taught mathematician. After his parents died, Adrain had to work to support both himself and his four brothers and sisters and it was entirely natural for this well educated young man to earn his living as a teacher. By 1798 Adrain, a young man of 22, had established himself sufficiently well financially to allow him to marry Ann Pollock. They had seven children, one of whom, Garnett Bowditch Adrain, became a Democratic member of Congress. The year 1798 was crucial for Adrain in addition to being the year in which he married. He took part in the Irish rebellion of that year but, in order to understand what this was about, we should give some background to explain the political events which led up to this event that was to result in a complete change in Adrain's life.
