Mathématicien connu pour son théorème en trigonométrie qui porte son nom. De Moivre était le fils d'un chirurgien, et, étant protestant, décida de quitter la France après la révocation de l'édit de Nantes en 1685. Etudiant en mathématiques, une fois à Londres il continua ses études en prenant des cours particuliers et en assistant à des conférences de Mathématiques et de sciences naturelles. Il deviant ami de Newton et de l'astronome E. Halley. De Moivre vécu toute sa vie dans la pauvreté bien que ses talents fussent largement reconnus de son vivant; en effet après son admission à la Royal Society of London en 1697, il devint membre des académies de Paris et de Berlin. Travaux en Mathématiques De Moivre a publié un grand nombre d'article dans les Transactions Philosophiques , son premier livre traitant des probabilités ( De Mensura Sortis , 1718). Ce livre présente divers innovations dans un domaine mathématique qui n'avait commencé réellement qu'avec le libre de Bernoulli

He belonged to a French Protestant family, and was compelled to take refuge in England at the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in 1685. Having laid the foundation of his mathematical studies in France, he prosecuted them further in London, where he read public lectures on natural philosophy for his support. The Principia Mathematica of Isaac Newton , which chance threw in his way, caused him to prosecute his studies with vigor, and he soon became distinguished among first-rate mathematicians. He was among the intimate personal friends of Newton, and his eminence and abilities secured his admission into the Royal Society of London in 1697, and afterwards into the Academies of Berlin and Paris. His merit was so well known and acknowledged by the Royal Society that they judged him a fit person to decide the famous contest between Newton and Gottfried Leibniz . The life of De Moivre was quiet and uneventful. His old age was spent in obscure poverty, his friends and associates having nearly all passed away before him. He died at London, on the 27th ot November 1754.

Abraham de Moivre Born: 26 May 1667 in Vitry (near Paris), France Died: 27 Nov 1754 in London, England After spending five years at a Protestant academy at Sedan, De Moivre A French Protestant, de Moivre emigrated to England in 1685 following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes and the expulsion of the Huguenots. He became a private tutor of mathematics and hoped for a chair of mathematics, but this was not to be since foreigners were at a disadvantage. In 1697 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1710 de Moivre was appointed to the Commission set up by the Royal Society to review the rival claims of Newton and Leibniz to be the discovers of the calculus. His appointment to this Commission was due to his friendship with Newton. The Royal Society knew the answer it wanted! De Moivre pioneered the development of analytic geometry and the theory of probability. He published The Doctrine of Chance in 1718. The definition of statistical independence appears in this book together with many problems with dice and other games. He also investigated mortality statistics and the foundation of the theory of annuities. In Miscellanea Analytica (1730) appears Stirling's formula (wrongly attributed to Stirling) which de Moivre used in 1733 to derive the normal curve as an approximation to the binomial. In the second edition of the book in 1738 de Moivre gives credit to Stirling for an improvement to the formula.

Tales of Statisticians Abraham de Moivre 26 May 1667 - 27 Nov 1754 De Moivre was born in France, but went to England to escape the persecutions to which French Protestants were then subject. He thus took his place at the northwest corner of the deeply interconnected world in which the science of statistics was emerging, one insight at a time. He supported himself by teaching, but most famously as the resident statistician of Slaughter's Coffee House in London, where the gamblers would pay him to calculate odds for them. Like his friend Isaac Newton, he studied the normal distribution curve, and saw that the normal curve was the limit to which the binomial curve approaches. He defined the mean and standard deviation for the binomial curve as np and r(npq), respectively. This result is now known to posterity as the de Moivre-Laplace Theorem. Some of his discoveries in this area were later credited to Gauss, by a process known in statistics as Stigler's Law of Eponymy, and in philology as the Rule of the Lesser Attribution. His major publication was The Doctrine of Chance, which existed in draft by 1711, and was published in 1718, with a second edition in 1738. The latter also included his limit theorem, which had had its separate first publication in a Latin pamphlet of 1733.

Page tools Printer friendly Cite / link Email Feedback This is a list of important publications in statistics Statistics is the science and practice of developing knowledge through the use of empirical data expressed in quantitative form. It is based on statistical theory which is a branch of applied mathematics. Within statistical theory, randomness and uncertainty are modelled by probability theory. Because one aim of statistics is to produce the "best" information from available data, some authors consider statistics a branch of decision theory. Statistical practice includes the planning, summarizing, and interpreting of observations, allowing for variability and uncertainty. Click the link for more information.

Abraham de Moivre Born: Died: 27 Nov 1754 in London, England Click the picture above to see two larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Abraham de Moivre The Edict of Nantes had guaranteed freedom of worship in France since 1598 but, although it made any extension of Protestant worship in France legally impossible, it was much resented by the Roman Catholic clergy and by the local French parliaments. Despite the Edict, the Protestant Academy at Sedan was suppressed in 1682 and de Moivre, forced to move, then studied logic at Saumur until 1684. Although mathematics was not a part of the course that he was studying, de Moivre read mathematics texts in his own time. In particular he read Huygens ' treatise on games of chance De ratiociniis in ludo aleae. Ozanam Religious persecution of Protestants became very serious after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685, leading to the expulsion of the Huguenots. At this time de Moivre was imprisoned for his religious beliefs in the priory of St Martin. It is unclear how long he was kept there, since Roman Catholic biographers indicate that soon after this he emigrated to England while his Protestant biographers say that he was imprisoned until 27 April 1688 after which he travelled to England. After arriving in London he became a private tutor of mathematics, visiting the pupils whom he taught and also teaching in the coffee houses of London.

de Moivre, Abraham The French-born mathematician Abraham de Moivre, b. May 26, 1667, d. Nov. 27, 1754, was a pioneer in PROBABILITY theory and TRIGONOMETRY. He discovered the approximation of the BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION known as the NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. He also investigated mortality statistics and the foundation of the theory of annuities and devised DE MOIVRE'S THEOREM, a trigonometric formula for obtaining powers and roots of complex numbers. A French Protestant, de Moivre emigrated (1685) to England following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In 1697 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. His book The Doctrine of Chances (1718) contained major advances in probability theory. Despite his scientific eminence, he subsisted mainly by tutoring mathematics and died in poverty.
