Extractions: Version for printing Pierre de Carcavi received no university education. He was a counsellor to the parliament of Toulouse from 1632 until 1636. In fact he first met Fermat in 1632 when they were both members of the Parliament in Toulouse and they remained friends. In 1636 Carcavi bought an office of counsellor in the Grand Conseil in Paris. In 1648, however, hard times struck and he was forced to sell the office to pay for the debts of his father (who had been a banker). After this he worked for the Duke of Liancourt until 1663. In that year he was appointed Custodian of the Royal Library, a post he held for 20 years until shortly before his death. Carcavi is best known for his correspondence with other mathematicians rather than for his own mathematics. He was friends with Huygens Fermat (as mentioned above) and Pascal and corresponded with them.

Extractions: Fermat, Pierre de 1. Dates Born: Beaumont; baptised 20 Aug. 1601 Died: Castres (somewhere near Toulouse), 12 Jan. 1665 Dateinfo: Dates Certain Lifespan: 2. Father Occupation: Merchant His father had a prosperous leather business. He was also second consul (whatever that might have been) of Beaumont. Fermat's uncle and godfather was also a merchant. His mother brought the social status of the parliamentary noblesse de la robe to the family. This certainly says at least affluence. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Orleans, LD He received a solid classical secondary education, beginning at the convent of the Cordeliers in Beaumont (run by the Franciscans). After studying with the Franciscans, he then studied with the Jesuits. He may have attended the University of Toulouse. He obtained the degree of Bachelor of Civil Laws from the University of Orleans in 1631. I accept this as the equivalent of a B.A., and in accordance with my practice I list also the degree in law. 5. Religion
