Pierre-Simon Laplace

  • male

Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace was a French mathematician and astronomer who put the final capstone on mathematical astronomy by summarizing and extending the work of his predecessors in his five volume "Mécanique Céleste" (Celestial Mechanics) (1799-1825). This masterpiece translated the geometrical study of classical mechanics used by Isaac Newton to one based on calculus, known as physical mechanics. He also formulated the Laplace's equation.
