It was highly successful at first, the time when Mme de Tencin made her money, but collapsed in 1720.] D'Alembert was the illegitimate son from one of Mme de Tencin 'amorous liaisons'. His father, Louis-Camus Destouches, was out of the country at the time of d'Alembert's birth and his mother left the newly born child on the steps of the church of St Jean Le Rond. The child was quickly found and taken to a home for homeless children. He was baptised Jean Le Rond, named after the church on whose steps he had been found. When his father returned to Paris he made contact with his young son and arranged for him to be cared for by the wife of a glazier, Mme Rousseau. She would always be d'Alembert's mother in his own eyes, particularly since his real mother never recognised him as her son, and he lived in Mme Rousseau's house until he was middle-aged.

Jean-le-Rond D'Alembert (1717 - 1783) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Jean-le-Rond D'Alembert was born at Paris on November 16, 1717, and died there on October 29, 1783. He was the illegitimate child of the chevalier Destouches. Being abandoned by his mother on the steps of the little church of St. Jean-le-Rond, which then nestled under the great porch of Notre-Dame, he was taken to the parish commissary, who, following the usual practice in such cases, gave him the Christian name of Jean-le-Rond; I do not know by what authority he subsequently assumed the right to prefix de to his name. He was boarded out by the parish with the wife of a glazier in a small way of business who lived near the cathedral, and here he found a real home, though a humble one. His father appears to have looked after him, and paid for his going to a school where he obtained a fair mathematical education. An essay written by him in 1738 on the integral calculus, and another in 1740 on ``ducks and drakes'' or ricochets, attracted some attention, and in the same year he was elected a member of the French Academy; this was probably due to the influence of his father, It is to his credit that he absolutely refused to leave his adopted mother, with whom he continued to live until her death in 1757. It cannot be said that she sympathised with his success, for at the height of his fame she remonstrated with him for wasting his talents on such work: ``Vous ne serez jamais qu'un philosophe,'' said she, ``et qu'est-ce qu'un philosophe? c'est un fou que se tourmente pendant sa vie, pour qu'on parle de lui lorsqu'il n'y sera plus.''

Preliminary Discourse To The Encyclopedia Of Diderot jean Le Rond d'alembert Preliminary Discourse to the Encyclopedia of Diderot edited by Denis Diderot and jean d'alembert became famousand controversialprincipally because http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~wldciv/world_civ_reader/world_civ_reader_2/dalembert.ht

Jean Le Rond d'Alembert: Preliminary Discourse to the Encyclopedia of Diderot Why have people come to despise the mechanical arts? What is their main advantage over the liberal arts (that is, more intellectual arts)? The mechanical arts depend on manual operation and are enslaved, if I may be permitted the term, to a species of routine, and so are left to those men whom prejudice places within the lowest classes. Poverty has driven these men to apply themselves to such work more often than taste or native genius drew them towards it, and for this reason these arts have come to be despised, so much does poverty darken what accompanies it. On the other hand, the free operations of the intellect (1) The contempt shown to the mechanical arts seems to have been influenced in part by their inventors. The names of these great benefactors of the human race are almost entirely unknown, whereas the history of its destroyers, that is to say, its conquerors, is known by everyone. Even so, it is perhaps among the artisans that one should go to find the most admirable proofs of the sagacity, the patience, and the resources of the intellect. I admit that the greater part of the arts have been invented little by little and that it has taken a very long period of centuries in order to bring watches, for example, to the point of perfection that we see. But is it not the same for the sciences?

French d'Alembert, Jean-le-Rond (1717-1783) French mathematician who was abandoned as a baby on the steps of the church of St. Jean Baptiste de Rond. When he became a famous mathematician, he spurned the overtures of his mother who wished to make him part of her family. D'Alembert was a friend of Lagrange d'Alembert published " d'Alembert's principle " in (1743), which was a powerful new interpretation of Newton's third law He also studied physical astronomy, in which he solved the precession of the equinoxes and was the first to find and solve the wave equation His solution is now known as d'Alembert's solution in his honor. d'Alembert believed that logarithms satisfied , but Euler wrote him explaining that . He tried unsuccessfully to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra (still known in France as d'Alembert's theorem). He discovered the Cauchy-Riemann equations in 1752 (decades prior to Cauchy or Riemann ). He also advocated the use of a limiting procedure in calculus With Diderot , he composed the monumental 28 volume encyclopedia of which d'Alembert wrote most of the mathematical and scientific articles.

FICHA Nacionalidad: Francia París 1717 - París 1783 Fue hijo no reconocido del general Destouches y de madame de Tencin, quienes lo dejaron en la puerta de la iglesia de Saint-Jean le Rond. Allí, un comisario de policía lo recogió y dio en adopción a la mujer de un vidriero llamado Alembert. Pronto descolló en el conocimiento de las matemáticas, siendo elegido a la temprana edad de veinticuatro años miembro de la Academia de Ciencias de París y, más tarde, de la de Berlín. Su fama de erudito le llevó a recibir invitaciones de Federico II de Prusia y de Catalina la Grande , que sin embargo rechazó. En 1747 comenzó la publicación de la " Enclopedia ", junto con Diderot , escribiendo artículos sobre matemática y literatura, además del "Discurso preliminar". En 1772 se le nombró secretario perpetuo de la Academia Francesa, escribiendo entones los "Elogios", sobre los académicos fallecidos entre 1700 y 1770. Ilustre filósofo, su pensamiento recibe la influencia de Descartes Bacon Newton y Locke . Uno de los máximos exponentes del movimiento ilustrado, concibe las ciencias como un todo integrado y herramienta para el progreso de la Humanidad. Su doctrina la expuso en "Elementos de Filosofía". Como matemático y científico, continuó las obras de Newton y Leibniz y comenzó la investigación sobre las ecuaciones diferenciales con derivadas parciales. También fue el primero en exponer el teorema fundamental del álgebra, más tarde demostrado por Gauss. También realizó estudios en hidrodinámica y mecánica. En este campo formuló el llamado "principio de D´Alembert" que, aplicado al movimiento de la Tierra, permite explicar las variaciones del eje de rotación del globo.

Alembert, Jean Le Rond d' Frenchman d’Alembert was abondoned by his parents as a baby and lived with his adopted parents as a child. He attended the Collège de Quatre-Nations to study the classics, law, and medicine. Later he studied mathematics on his own. He appeared on the scientific scene in 1739, when he sent his first communication to the Académie des sciences. During the next two years he sent the academy five more papers dealing with methods of integrating differential equations and with the motion of bodies in a resisting media. Although he had received little formal scientific education, it is clear that he had become familiar with the works of Newton L’Hospital , and the Bernoullis D’Alembert continued to produce advanced research and published many works on mathematics and mathematical physics. His major work was Trait de dynamique D'Alembert's work made partial differential equations a part of calculus. He considered the derivative as a limit of difference quotients, which put him ahead of his peers in understanding calculus. He also contributed major results in geometry, complex numbers, and probability.
