Extractions: Executive summary: Doctrine of Chances English mathematician of French extraction, was born at Vitry, in Champagne, on the 26th of May 1667. 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.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: Back to KISH Home Page Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre was born on May 26, 1667. Moivre was born at Vitry and died in London on November 27, 1754. Moivre was interested in mathematics when he started his education in England. He was introduced to mathematics when he found a copy of "Newtons Principles". Trigonometry was first taken into analysis when De Moivre came up with the formula (cos x + I sin x)n. De Moivre is remembered by this formula by many mathematicians. De Moivre also pioneered the development of the Probability theory. This theory is the study of possible outcomes of given events together with their relative likelihoods and distributions. De Moivre also worked with Lambert, and came up with the formula (sin nx + I cos nx). This formula gives the quadratic factors. While figuring out these formulas he was also a tutor and then became a mathematician. De Moivre is also famous for a book that he had published in 1718. He published "The Doctrine of Chance". De Moivre thought that he should sleep 15 minutes longer each night and from this arithmetic progression he calculated that he would die on the day that he slept 24 hours. And he was right, he did die. He was not the only person that did this and was right because Cardan did it too.
