The more progress physical sciences make, the more they tend to enter the domain of mathematics, which is a kind of centre to which they all converge. We may even judge the degree of perfection to which a science has arrived by the faculty with which it may be submitted to calculation. ~ Quoted in E. Mailly, Eulogy on Quetelet Born: February 22, 1796 in Ghent, Flanders Belgium Died: February 17, 1874 in Brussels, Belgium Adolphe Quetelet received his first doctorate in 1819 from Ghent for a dissertation on the theory of conic sections. After receiving this doctorate he taught mathematics in Brussels, then, in 1823, he went to Paris to study astronomy at the Observatory there. He learnt astronomy from Arago and Bouvard and the theory of probability under Joseph Fourier and Pierre Laplace. Influenced by Laplace and Fourier, Quetelet was the first to use the normal curve other than as an error law. His studies of the numerical consistency of crimes stimulated wide discussion of free will versus social determinism. For his government he collected and analysed statistics on crime, mortality etc. and devised improvements in census taking. His work produced great controversy among social scientists of the 19th century. At an observatory in Brussels that he established in 1833 at the request of the Belgian government, he worked on statistical, geophysical, and meteorological data, studied meteor showers and established methods for the comparison and evaluation of the data.

Lambert Adolphe Quetelet Lambert Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874), the Belgian mathematician, is famous world-wide for his 'Body Mass Index' (also called the 'Quetelet Index' ) which remains the official measurement for obesity to this day. The method is only valid for people over the age of 20. If the result is greater then 30 then a person is officially obese. The formula for calculating the Quetelet index is: In non-metric measurements, the formula becomes: (weight in pounds) * 703 QI = height in inches One science was not enough, however, for Quetelet. Starting around 1830, he became heavily involved in statistics and sociology. Quetelet was convinced that probability influenced the course of human affairs more so than earlier generations had and more so than his contemporaries did. Astronomers had used the law of error to gain accurate measurement of phenomena in the physical world. Quetelet believed the law of error could be applied to human beings. If the phenomena analyzed were part of human nature, Quetelet believed that it was possible to determine the average physical and intellectual features of a population. Through gathering the "facts of life," the behaviour of individuals could be assessed against how an "average man" would normally behave. He believed it possible to identify the underlying regularities for both normal and abnormal behaviour.

Statistician, astronomer Born : Gent 29-02-1796 Died: Brussel 17-02-1874 Quetelet was an astronomer, meteorologist, statistician and sociologist. He became famous because of his accurate statistic research of social appearances. He claimed that man was determined by birth and surroundings. Quetelet starts from the principle of the average man. The differences between people can be measured in terms of deviating this average. He was seen as the father of the quantitative method in sociology.

Statisticus en astronoom Geboren: Gent 29-02-1796 Overleden: Brussel 17-02-1874 Quetelet was astronoom, meteoroloog, statisticus en socioloog. Hij verwierf bekendheid door zijn nauwkeurig statistisch onderzoek van sociale verschijnselen. Hij ging ervan uit dat het handelen van de mens volkomen wordt gedetermineerd door zijn afkomst en zijn omgeving. Quetelet gaat uit van de gemiddelde mens. De verschillen tussen de mensen kunnen dan gemeten worden in termen van afwijking van dit gemiddelde. Hij wordt gezien als de vader van de kwantitatieve methode in de sociologie.
