Abraham de Moivre Probability and statistics may owe more to Abraham de Moivre than any person except Laplace. Greatly influenced by his friend Newton, de Moivre was the first to deduce a version of the Central Limit Theorem, showing that a large number of Bernoulli trials could be approximated by a normal distribution. De Moivre published The Doctrine of Chance in 1718 with expanded editions in 1738 and posthumously in 1756. These texts not only solved problems such as the gambler's ruin chain that were suggested by others, notably Halley, Montmart, Huyguns, but also established fundamental tenets of probability such as the defnition of independent events. De Moivre was born into a Protestant family in France. With the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, religious freedom in France was no longer permitted and De Moivre was imprisoned for his religious beliefs. Contemporary writings are unclear as to how long he was imprisoned: Protestant biographers indicate the term was for three years while Catholic biographers suggest he left for London in the year the Edict was revoked. On arrival in England, de Moivre became familiar with Newton's work for the first time, eventually becoming a friend and confidant of Newton and other luminaries in the Royal Academy. Indeed, de Moivre was himself elected to the Royal Academy in 1697 and in 1710 was appointed to a commission to resolve the dispute as to whether Newton or Liebniz had invented the calculus. Clearly the Royal Academy, in appointing a friend of Newton's, knew what result it wanted!

Moivre [De Moivre, Demoivre], Abraham De 1. Dates Born: Vitry-le-François, Champagne, 26 May 1667 Died: London, 27 Nov. 1754 Dateinfo: Dates Certain Lifespan: 2. Father Occupation: Physician A provincial surgeon of modest means. With that description, I have to list his financial status as unknown. On the one hand, the father was able to have his son educated initially by a tutor and later to send him, at age eleven, to the Protestant academy at Sedan. On the other hand, Walker calls the father a poor surgeon. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: English Death: English 4. Education Schooling: Saumur; Paris Catholic Village School. Protestant Academy at Sedan, 1678-82. Studied logic at Saumur, 1682-4. Collège de Harcourt, Paris, 1684. Studied mathematics privately in Paris with Ozanam, 1684-5. There is no mention of a B.A., and I concluded that De Moivre never earned one. 5. Religion Affiliation: Calvinist He was a Huguenot and left France as a result of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics De Moivre published his first mathematical paper in the Philosophical Transactions in the early 90'sin all fifteen papers in the Philosophical Transactions. His Doctrine of Chances, 1718, was perhaps the key work in the early history of probability. Miscellanea analytica, 1730. Annuities on Lives, 1725. An important theorem in trigonometry carries his name, and he contributed also to the theory of infinite series and to finite differences.

University of Louisville Ekstrom Library Special Collections The William Marshall Bullitt Collection of Rare Mathematics and Astronomy Louisville attorney William Marshall Bullitt began to collect rare mathematics books in 1936. Building upon a family history of book collecting and his own passion for mathematics, Bullitt set out to gather first editions works by the twenty-five greatest mathematicians of all time, a goal established during a parlor game instigated by his friend G.H. Hardy. Within a decade Bullitt had amassed over 300 volumes by sixty mathematicians and astronomers. Except for a loan of choice volumes to Harvard for a 1953 exhibition, he kept the collection in his law office where he could refer to his favorites and use them as examples when he asked young attorneys aspiring to employment with his firm, "How much mathematics have you had?" Mr. Bullitt, shown here with his wife Nora in the library at Oxmoor, their home in Louisville, left all his books to her when he died in 1957. The following year, Mrs. Bullitt gave the rare mathematics and astronomy books to the University of Louisville. Mr. Bullitt's files of correspondence with mathematicians and rare book dealers joined the collection in 1980, thanks to the initiative of Uof L Mathematics professor Richard M. Davitt. Although William Marshall Bullitt enjoyed success as an expert in in 1951 for $500, an "outrageous price" in his estimation. Today the William Marshall Bullitt Collection of Rare Mathematics and Astronomy is priceless, not only for faculty and students at the University of Louisville, but for those to whom we offer the following list, a subset of a 370 volume collection.

Comité Galego do Ano Mundial das Matemáticas 2000 O persoeiro da semana Semana do 22 ó 28 de maio Abraham de Moivre Naceu o 26 de maio de 1667 en Vitry (Francia), cerca de París, e morreu o 27 de novembro de 1754 en Londres. Despois dos seus estudios elementais, profundou en lóxica en Saumur e, a partir do 1684, foi a París a tomar clases particulares de matemáticas de Ozanam. Como protestante tivo que marchar a Inglaterra no ano 1685 como consecuencia da expulsión dos Hugonotes. Alí foi elixido membro da Royal Society en 1697. De Moivre foi un dos pioneiros no desenvolvemento da xeometría analítica e do cálculo de probabilidades. No seu libro The Doctrine of Chance publicado en 1718, de Moivre dá por primeira vez a definición de independencia probabilística e moitos problemas sobre xogos de azar. En Miscellanea Analytica (1730) aparece a famosa fórmula incorrectamente atribuída a Stirling, usada por de Moivre para obte-la distribución normal como aproximación da binomial. De Moivre é moi lembrado hoxe pola súa fórmula para (cos x + i sen x)n que ligou a trigonometría coa análise matemática.

P Q R S T U V W X Y Z (Liste incomplète) ABEL Niels Hnrik ( 1802-1829 ) Al-Birûni (Abû Rayhân Muhammad ben Ahmad) Né à Khiwa dans l'actuel Turkménistan, al-Biruni est un savant universel. A vingt ans il se rend à la cour des Ziyârides, où il écrit sa Chronologie. Il y rencontre le célèbre philosophe Ibn Sînâ, dont le nom déformé donnera Avicenne en Occident, avec lequel il ne s'entend guère. De retour dans sa ville natale, il est capturé lors de troubles politiques. Une fois libéré il fait de nombreux séjours en Inde dont on ne sait presque rien. C'est certainement lors d'un de ces séjour qu'il ramène un énorme traité : Ta rîh al-Hind. Il y donne une description très détaillée de ce pays, de ses coutumes ainsi que de ses connaissances scientifiques. Il écrit aussi une encyclopédie sur l'astronomie. En géométrie il démontre d'une manière élégante la formule relative à l'aire du triangle et à son périmètre. C'est lui qui établit le lien entre l'inscriptibilité d'un polygone régulier à 9 côtés et l'équation du troisième degré dont il donne une solution approchée en fraction sexadécimales.
