BIOGRAPHY 8.2 Abraham de Moivre
Abraham de Moivre was born at Vitry, France, where his father was a surgeon. De Moivre studied mathematics and physics in Paris, but in 1685, after the Edict of Nantes was revoked, he was imprisoned for being a Protestant. When released three years later, he emigrated to England to escape religious persecution. He never returned to France and never published anything in French. By all accounts, he was a mathematical genius, and he was in constant touch (at the Royal Society) with the leading thinkers of his day, including Isaac Newton who became a close friend. Yet de Moivre never succeeded in obtaining a university appointment. He eked out a living by tutoring the sons of nobility and by advising gamblers and speculators. This unwelcome fate was posterity's gain, for his successful solution of the problems he met in his consulting practice led to his writing of two great books. His text on probability, The Doctrine of Chances , emanated from an article first published in Latin in 1711 and was published posthumously in its final and third edition in 1756. It is notable (among many other contributions) for the origin of the general laws of addition and multiplication of probabilities (discussed in text Chapter 8), for the origin of the binomial distribution law (discussed in Chapter 9), and for the origin of the formula for the normal curve (discussed in Chapter 10), which de Moivre discovered in 1733.

    Abraham de Moivre
    Abraham de Moivre in the news Abraham de Moivre May 26 November 27 ), was a French mathematician famous for de Moivre's formula , which links complex number s and trigonometry , and for his work on the normal distribution and probability theory . He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1697, and was a friend of Isaac Newton and Edmund Halley De Moivre was born in Vitry-le-François, Champagne The social status of his family is unclear, but De Moivre's father, a surgeon, was able to send him to the Protestant academy at Sedan De Moivre studied logic at Saumur attended the Collège de Harcourt in Paris (1684), and studied privately with Ozanam (1684-85). It does not appear that De Moivre received a college degree. De Moivre was a Calvinist and he left France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes and spent the remainder of his life in England. Throughout his life he remained poor. It is reported that he was a regular customer of Slaughter's Coffee House, St. Martin's Lane at Cranbourn Street, where he earned a little money from playing chess He died in London and was buried at St Martin's-in-the-Fields

    Het getal i is vastgelegd met i We schrijven ook wel Z = ( a b ) waardoor het mogelijk is de complexe getallen te tekenen in een plat vlak waarin een rechthoekig assenstelsel is vastgelegd.
    Het punt (0,1) wordt dan geïdentificeerd met

    De x-as wordt reële as genoemd; de y-as heet dan imaginare as
    Vaak wordt Z dan verbonden met O door de vector z Verder: a = Re z ; het reële deel van z b = Im z ; het imaginaire deel van z. Een tweede manier om complexe getallen te representeren (met poolcoõrdinaten) kan worden afgeleid uit het bovenstaande.

    Biografias / Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre nasceu no dia 26 de maio de 1667 em Vitry (próximo a Paris), France, e morreu no dia 27 de novembro de 1754 em Londres, Inglaterra. Depois de passar cinco anos em uma academia protestante em Sedan, Moivre estudou lógica em Saumur de 1682 até as 1684. Ele foi então para Paris, estudando no Collège de Harcourt, e tendo aulas particulares de matemática com Ozanam. Um protestante francês, Moivre emigrou para a Inglaterra em 1685 seguindo a revogação do Édito de Nantes e a expulsão de Huguenots. Ele se tornou tutor particular de matemática e esperou por uma cadeira de matemática, mas não conseguiu, visto que os estrangeiros estavam em desvantagem. Em 1697 ele foi eleito um membro da Sociedade Real. Em 1710 Moivre foi designado à Comissão montada pela Sociedade Real para revisar as reivindicações rivais de Newton e Leibniz de quem seria o descobridor do cálculo. Sua nomeação para esta Comissão foi devido à sua amizade com Newton. A Sociedade Real soube a resposta que queria! Moivre abriu caminho para o desenvolvimento da geometria analítica e a teoria de probabilidade. Ele publicou A Doutrina de Chance em 1718. A definição de independência estatística aparece neste livro junto com muitos problemas com dados e outros jogos. Ele também investigou estatísticas de mortalidade e a fundação da teoria de anuidades.

    http://alpha.montclair.edu/~lebelp/RolodexofFamousEconomists.html
    The Rolodex of Famous Economists What makes an economist famous? There are two basic criteria, and which are at times uncorrelated with each other: recognition by one's colleagues and recognition by the public at large. Among economists, being famous tends to translate in terms of the number of published works, along with the number of times such work is cited by other economists. Published work and citations are what drives, for example, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics selection process. As Paul Samuelson once said, the only coin of worth among economists is the recognition by one's colleagues. Critics of economics have pointed to the insular nature of recognition criteria practiced by economists and have contended that all too often they write with an increasingly abstruse theoretical and mathematical jargon that ignores too many real world issues. As one economist once said when the empirical data did not fit well in a standard econometric model, "So much the worse for reality". Yet economists have exerted a powerful influence on the course of events over times and they have done so by translating what seems at times as overly abstract notions into concrete tools of understanding economic events, predicting future events, and guiding public policy. As a sampler, consider the following economists. Adam Smith (1723-1790) is famous for his
