    Extractions: Abraham de Moivre May 26 November 27 ), was a French mathematician famous for de Moivre's formula , which links complex numbers 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 (1678-82). De Moivre studied logic at Saumur (1682-84), 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 (1685), 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 , although his body was later moved.

    Extractions: Back to KISH Home Page Abraham de Moivre Abraham de Moivre was born on May 26, 1667. Moivre was born at Vitry and died in London on November 27, 1754. Moivre was interested in mathematics when he started his education in England. He was introduced to mathematics when he found a copy of "Newton’s Principles". Trigonometry was first taken into analysis when De Moivre came up with the formula (cos x + I sin x)n. De Moivre is remembered by this formula by many mathematicians. De Moivre also pioneered the development of the Probability theory. This theory is the study of possible outcomes of given events together with their relative likelihoods and distributions. De Moivre also worked with Lambert, and came up with the formula (sin nx + I cos nx). This formula gives the quadratic factors. While figuring out these formulas he was also a tutor and then became a mathematician. De Moivre is also famous for a book that he had published in 1718. He published "The Doctrine of Chance". De Moivre thought that he should sleep 15 minutes longer each night and from this arithmetic progression he calculated that he would die on the day that he slept 24 hours. And he was right, he did die. He was not the only person that did this and was right because Cardan did it too.

    de moivre. abraham de moivre (1667 1754) was een van oorsprong Frans wiskundige,die echter het grootste deel van zijn werkzame leven in Engeland doorbracht.  
    http://www.wiskundeweb.nl/Wiskundegeschiedenis/Wiskundigen/DeMoivre.html
    
    Extractions: De Moivre was een goede vriend van Newton en van de astronoom Edmund Halley. Hij hield zich vooral bezig met de waarschijnlijkheidsrekening, de theorie der complexe getallen (met de beroemde stelling van De Moivre) en de theorie der oneindige rijen. Hij leidde de formule voor de normale verdeling af uit de binomiale kansverdeling. Ook bedacht hij de beroemde stelling van De Moivre voor complexe getallen. Links naar anderstalige sites: In 1710 werd De Moivre aangesteld als lid van de commissie die de Royal Society in het leven riep om uit te maken wie nu het eerst de differentiaal- en intrgraalrekening had ontdekt: Newton of Leibniz. Uit deze aanstelling bleek duidelijk welk antwoord de Royal Society wilde horen: De Moivre was immers een vriend van Newton! In 1718 publiceerde De Moivre 'The Doctrine of Chance', een boek over kansrekening waarin de eerste definitie van statistische onafhankelijkheid verschijnt, naast de aanpak van allerlei problemen op het gebied van dobbelen en andere kansspelen. Hij bestudeerde ook sterftetabellen en werkte aan de theorie van de wiskunde rond levensverzekeringen.

    Extractions: PowerPoint Presentation 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.
