Main Courses History of Math Contact ... Stevens Institute of Technology Alexis Claude Clairaut (1713 - 1765) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Alexis Claude Clairaut was born at Paris on May 13, 1713, and died there on May 17, 1765. He belongs to the small group of children who, though of exceptional precocity, survive and maintain their powers when grown up. As early as the age of twelve he wrote a memoir on four geometrical curves; but his first important work was a treatise on tortuous curves, published when he was eighteen - a work which procured for him admission to the French Academy. In 1731 he gave a demonstration of the fact noted by Newton that all curves of the third order were projections of one of five parabolas. In 1741 Clairaut went on a scientific expedition to measure the length of a meridian degree on the earth's surface, and on his return in 1743 he published his . This is founded on a paper by Maclaurin, wherein it had been shewn that a mass of homogeneous fluid set in rotation about a line through its centre of mass would, under the mutual attraction of its particles, take the form of a spheroid. This work of Clairaut treated of heterogeneous spheroids and contains the proof of his formula for the accelerating effect of gravity in a place of latitude l , namely, where G is the value of equatorial gravity

PERSONAL GALLERY Maupertuis Alexis Clairaut Anders Celsius Anders Hellant Alexis Clairaut Alexis Clairaut was born in 1713 and died in 1765. He worked as a mathematician during the expedition. He was a mathematical genius who already at the age of twelve had been called to visit the Academy of Sciences in Paris. Like the rest of the expedition members Clairaut also undertook practical chores though in the first place he was there to calculate the measurement results. In a study published in 1743, the Clairaut proposition postulates in a simple way the dependency of the geometrical flattening ratio on the relationship between the gravity and the centrifugal force. Later Clairaut made a mathematical prediction of the appearance of Halley's comet in 1759. main page shape of the earth expedition life by the river ... Visitors to Lapland

HENKILÖGALLERIA: Maupertuis Alexis Clairaut Anders Celsius Anders Hellant Alexis Claude Clairaut Alexis Clairaut syntyi 1713 ja kuoli 1765. Hän toimi retkellä matemaatikkona. Hän oli matemaattinen ihmelapsi joka jo 12 vuotiaana oli esillä Pariisin tiedeakatemiassa. Clairaut otti muiden tavoin osaa käytännön työhön, mutta hän oli mukana ennenkaikkea laskemassa mittaustuloksia. 1743 julkaistussa tutkimuksessa, Clairautin väittämässä, esitetään yksinkertaisella tavalla maan geometrisen litistymissuhteen riippuvuus vetovoiman ja keskipakoisvoiman suhteesta.

Alexis Clairaut : Pour l'honneur de Newton Thèmes : que choisir, la marquise, maisons en bois, denis diderot, bouteilles de vin, le journal, dent dure la marquise le journal a table la bouche ... loi de newton Alexis Clairaut : Pour l'honneur de Newton Jean-Pierre Maury De l’expédition de Laponie en 1736 au rendez-vous de 1759 avec la comète de Halley, en passant par le mouvement de la Lune et l’irisation des rayons lumineux, dans toutes les batailles menées en France pour imposer les idées de Newton, on retrouve au premier rang “le plus aimable des mathématiciens”, Alexis Clairaut. Parmi tous les manuscrits envoyés par Denis Diderot à Catherine de Russie, l’un s’intitule Premières notions sur les mathématiques à l’usage des enfants. D’après le philosophe, il s’agit d’un ouvrage de Clairaut. C’est tout à fait vraisemblable car celui-ci s’est rappelé toute sa vie avoir appris à lire dans les Éléments d’Euclide et, même pour lui, c’était sans doute une lecture un peu aride à l’âge de 4 ans pourtant, encouragé par un père professeur de mathématiques, le jeune Clairaut s’attaque à 9 ans au traité d’algèbre appliquée de Guisnée (le maître de Réaumur et de Maupertuis), puis à un ouvrage tout récent sur les sections coniques. À 12 ans, il lit sa première communication à l’académie, et à 16 ans il y présente une étude systématique des courbes gauches qui lui vaut d’être aussitôt élu académicien. Ce vote ne sera ratifié que deux ans plus tard — ce qui exige encore une dispense de deux ans. Même à cette époque, il n’est pas normal d’être académicien avant 20 ans !
