Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (September 28, 1698 - July 27, 1759) After four years, in 1723, he returned to Paris and was elected top the Paris Academy of Sciences as an adjoint for Geometry. In 1724 he published a treatise of the mathematics of musical instruments. In 1728 he travelled to London and was made a member of the Royal Academy, and in 1729, travelled to Basel to study mechanics and differential calculus with Johann Bernoulli (I). In the early 1730s, Maupertuis got interested in the exact figure of planet Earth, i.e. the deviation from the spherical shape, as well as the figures of celestial bodies. Following Newtonian mechanics, he thought these bodies should be of ellipsoidal shape. In his treatise of the figures of the celestial bodies ( Maupertuis 1734 ), he included a translation to French of Derham 's catalog of "Nebulae." In 1735, the Paris Academy sent two expeditions for investigating this thread, the first, under the direction of Charles-Marie de la Condamine, went to Peru and Ecuador, the second one, commanded by Maupertuis, to Lapland. Surveying work was done in 1736; despite considerable errors, the results demonstrated the oblateness of Earth's shape. In 1741, he became Vice President of the Paris Academy, and little later was made this academy's President. But academic dispute and quarrel ended in his soon dismission. In 1745, he went to Berlin to become director of the Royal Academy there. Again, he got involved in academic trouble; this trouble together with increasing health problems caused him to leave.

Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis Maupertuis (1698-1759) var fransk astronom och matematiker. År 1736 fick han statligt anslag till att leda en gradmätningsexpedition upp till Tornedalen, för att där utröna huruvida Isaac Newtons teori att jorden är tillplattad vid polerna verkligen stämmer. Möjligen var det den svenske vetenskapsmannen Anders Celsius som fick fransmännen att välja just Tornedalen för sina mätningar. Expeditionen varade från juni 1736 till juni 1737, och lyckades framgångsrikt bevisa att Newtons teori förvisso stämmer. År 1738 kom Maupertuis' rapport på svenska, med titeln Jordens figur Denna expedition var också lyckosam på det sociala planet - dvs för dem som hade lyckan att tillhöra de sociala skikt som tillät umgänge mellan ortsbor och expeditionsdeltagare. Maupertuis var inte bara en nitisk vetenskapsman, utan hade också ett öppet sinne för den nordiska naturen. Hans beskrivning av berget Niemivaara strax norr om polcirkeln kom att göra intryck på det samtida Europa: Detta berget som såväl för sjöarnas skull, som omgiva det, som för de svårigheter man måste övervinna innan man kan komma dit, är likt de i Fablerna avmålade helgade orter, skulle på alla andra orter vara högst angenäm, förutan i Lappmarken: på den ena sidan möter man en ren skog, varest marken är så slät som gångarna uti en trägård: trän förhindra en intet att spatsera, ej heller förvägra att se en vacker sjö som sköljer foten av berget: på den andra sidan finner man salar och kamrar som synas lika som uthuggna uti hällen, och på vilka ej annat felar än tak: dessa klippor stå så lodrätt emot horisonten, äro så höga och jämna, att de snarare se ut som till slott och palatser tillämnade murar, än som något naturens arbete.

Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertui Jordens figur This mountain, both for the lakes which surround it, and for the obstacles to be surmounted in order to reach it, is like the sacred places painted in Fables, and would in any other place be most pleasant, except in the Lappish regions: on the one side one encounters pure forest whose floor is as smooth as a path in a garden: the trees do not hinder a promenade, not do they prevent one seeing a beautiful lake that laps at the foot of a mountain: on the other side one sees halls and chambers apparently dug out of the bedrock and which lack for nothing save a roof: these rocks stand so perpendicular to the horizon, are so high and even, that they resemble walls designed for castles and palaces, rather than anything made by nature.

Pierre Louis Maupertuis and the trip to Tornio Pierre Louis de Maupertuis Pierre Louis de Maupertuis was born 28 September 1698 in Saint Malo, France. He was a French philosopher, mathematician and geodesist who became a member of the French Academy of Sciences in Paris in 1731. In 1732 he introduced Newton’s theory of gravitation to France. He was sent out to Lapland to determine, with as exact measurement as possible, the shape of the Earth at the poles. This trip took place between the years 1736 and 1737. Maupertuis gained fame for his expedition and he was invited to Germany by Frederick the Great. He became a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1741 and served as its president from 1745 to 1753. In 1744 he first enunciated the Principle of the Least Action and he published it in Essai de cosmologie Maupertuis died 27 July 1759 in Basel, Switzerland. The meaning of the trip The English scientists Isaac Newton’s theory was different. He thought that the centrifugal force leads to the enormous mass of the Earth swelling out at the equator, flattening the poles, and giving the Earth a similar shape to that of an orange. To prove the Newton’s theory the French Academy of Sciences sent two expeditions to measure the length of a degree along the meridian. One expedition was sent to equator to Peru (now Ecuador) led by Pierre Cassini and Charles-Marie de La Condamine and other expedition led by Maupertuis was sent to near the pole to Tornio in Finland.

Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) born: Sept. 28, 1698 Saint-Malo, France died: July 27, 1759 Basel, Switz. Maupertuis was a mathematician, astronomer and physicist. He became a member of the Academy of Sciences in Paris in 1731 and soon became the foremost French proponent of the Newtonian theory of gravitation. From 1730 to 1734, he was a tutor to Emilie in mathematics. Maupertuis was the most important among Emilie's scientific friends and it was he who introduced her to Clairaut, Koenig and Jean Bernoulli, who were also her tutors in higher mathematics. Letters to Maupertuis at the end of 1733 and the beginning of 1734 are full of requests that he would come and teach her something new. When he was anywhere in the neighborhood she was angry if he did not visit her every day. Voltaire also knew Maupertuis and it was likely that they met at the Gradot's, a coffee shop that was frequented by astronomers, geometricians, academicians and serious writers. Voltaire was interested in understanding Isaac Newton's laws of physics, and in 1733 took lessons in mathematics from Maupertuis, so he could better understand Newton's work. Maupertuis gained notoriety for his participation in verifying Newton's theory that the earth was flattened at the poles. In order to determine the real shape of the earth, the Academy of Sciences decided to measure a degree of astronomic latitude at the Equator and at the Arctic Circle and to compare the findings. It was Maupertuis who appealed to Louis XV to permit him to make an expedition to the polar regions.

Cette page montre des personnages dans la vie d'Emilie du Châtelet. Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, gravure d'après R. de Tournières, 1737 Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) Né le 28 sept. 1698 à Saint Malo, France Mort le 27 juillet 1759 à Bâle, Suisse Maupertuis était mathématicien, astronome et physicien. Il devint un membre de l'Académie des sciences à Paris en 1731 et fut bientôt le plus fervent défenseur français de la théorie de la gravitation de Newton. De 1730 à 1734, il fut le professeur particulier de mathématiques d'Emilie. Maupertuis était le plus important parmi les amis de science d'Emilie et ce fut lui, qui la présenta à Clairaut, Koenig et Jean Bernoulli, qui étaient aussi ses professeurs de mathématiques supérieures. Les lettres d'Emilie à Maupertuis à la fin de 1733 et au début de 1734 lui demandent sans cesse de revenir pour lui enseigner quelque chose de nouveau. Quand il se trouvait quelque part dans le voisinage, elle était fâchée, s'il ne lui rendait pas visite tous les jours. Voltaire connaissait aussi Maupertuis et il est probable qu'ils se sont rencontrés chez « Gradot », un café qui était fréquenté par des astronomes, des géomètres, des académiciens et des écrivains sérieux. Voltaire voulait comprendre les lois de la physique d'Isaac Newton et en 1733, il prit des leçons de mathématiques près de Maupertuis ; ainsi il pouvait mieux interpréter l'œuvre de Newton.
