Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace (/ləˈplɑːs/; French: [pjɛʁ simɔ̃ laplas]; 23 March 1749 - 5 March 1827) was a French scholar whose work was important to the development of engineering, mathematics, statistics, physics and astronomy. He summarized and extended the work of his predecessors in his five-volume Mécanique Céleste (Celestial Mechanics) (1799-1825). This work translated the geometric study of classical mechanics to one based on calculus, opening up a broader range of problems. In statistics, the Bayesian interpretation of probability was developed mainly by Laplace

Book excerpt: THE author of the "Mecanique Celeste" was born at Beaumont-en-Auge, near Honfleur, in 1749, just thirteen years later than his renowned friend Lagrange. His father was a farmer, but appears to have been in a position to provide a good education for a son who seemed promising. Considering the unorthodoxy in religious matters which is generally said to have characterized Laplace in later years, it is interesting to note that when he was a boy the subject which first claimed his attention was theology. He was, however, soon introduced to the study of mathematics, in which he presently became so proficient, that while he was still no more than eighteen years old, he obtained employment as a mathematical teacher in his native town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierre-Simon Laplace was among the most influential scientists in history. Often referred to as the lawgiver of French science, he is known for his technical contributions to exact science, for the philosophical point of view he developed in the presentation of his work, and for the leading part he took in forming the modern discipline of mathematical physics. His two most famous treatises were the five-volume Traité de mécanique céleste (1799-1825) and Théorie analytique des probabilités (1812). In the former he demonstrated mathematically the stability of the solar system in service to the universal Newtonian law of gravity. In the latter he developed probability from a set of miscellaneous problems concerning games, averages, mortality, and insurance risks into the branch of mathematics that permitted the quantification of estimates of error and the drawing of statistical inferences, wherever data warranted, in social, medical, and juridical matters, as well as in the physical sciences. This book traces the development of Laplace's research program and of his participation in the Academy of Science during the last decades of the Old Regime into the early years of the French Revolution. A scientific biography by Charles Gillispie comprises the major portion of the book. Robert Fox contributes an account of Laplace's attempt to form a school of young physicists who would extend the Newtonian model from astronomy to physics, and Ivor Grattan-Guinness summarizes the history of the scientist's most important single mathematical contribution, the Laplace Transform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pierre-Simon, marquis de Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March 1827) was a French researcher and polymath whose work was critical to the advancement of designing, science, measurements, physical science, cosmology, and reasoning. He summed up and broadened crafted by his archetypes in his five-volume Mécanique Céleste (Celestial Mechanics) (1799–1825). This work interpreted the mathematical investigation of old style mechanics to one dependent on analytics, opening up a more extensive scope of issues. In measurements, the Bayesian translation of likelihood was grown for the most part by Laplace. Laplace detailed Laplace's condition, and spearheaded the Laplace change which shows up in numerous parts of numerical physical science, a field that he played a main job in shaping. The Laplacian differential administrator, generally utilized in arithmetic, is likewise named after him. He repeated and fostered the nebular speculation of the beginning of the Solar System and was one of the primary researchers to propose the presence of dark openings and the idea of gravitational breakdown. Laplace is recognized as probably the best researcher ever. Once in a while alluded to as the French Newton or Newton of France, he has been depicted as having a remarkable regular numerical personnel better than that of any of his peers. He was Napoleon's inspector when Napoleon went to the École Militaire in Paris in 1784. Laplace turned into an include of the Empire in 1806 and was named a marquis in 1817, after the Bourbon Restoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities" is the work by award winning mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace on the mathematical theory of probability. Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. Probability theory is used widely in areas of study such as statistics, mathematics, science, finance, gambling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer science, game theory, and philosophy to, for example, draw inferences about the expected frequency of events. Laplace's book consists of two parts under the headings, "A Philosophical Essay on Probabilities" and, "Application of the Calculus of Probabilities."
