Mathématicien connu pour son théorème en trigonométrie qui porte son nom. De Moivre était le fils d'un chirurgien, et, étant protestant, décida de quitter la France après la révocation de l'édit de Nantes en 1685. Etudiant en mathématiques, une fois à Londres il continua ses études en prenant des cours particuliers et en assistant à des conférences de Mathématiques et de sciences naturelles. Il deviant ami de Newton et de l'astronome E. Halley. De Moivre vécu toute sa vie dans la pauvreté bien que ses talents fussent largement reconnus de son vivant; en effet après son admission à la Royal Society of London en 1697, il devint membre des académies de Paris et de Berlin. Travaux en Mathématiques De Moivre a publié un grand nombre d'article dans les Transactions Philosophiques , son premier livre traitant des probabilités ( De Mensura Sortis , 1718). Ce livre présente divers innovations dans un domaine mathématique qui n'avait commencé réellement qu'avec le libre de Bernoulli

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.
