http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Maupertuis.html

Extractions: French physicist who formulated the least action principle which states that nature chooses the most economical path for moving bodies, light rays, etc. The principle was mathematically refined later by William Rowan Hamilton . Maupertuis claimed that the principle provided a metaphysical proof of the existence of God. Maupertuis also investigated polydactylism and the transmission of abnormal characteristics. His interest in the subject was founded in embryology, however, rather than heredity. He was the driving force behind expeditions to Lapland, near the North Pole, and Peru, on the equator, to measure the difference in the Earth's radius. He accompanied the team (which included Clairaut ) to Lapland and, in 1747, the two groups proved Newton's prediction that the earth was an oblate spheroid to be correct, while Descartes's theory which predicted an ovate Earth to be wrong.

Extractions: This award-winning globe could help children become A+ geography students. The Explorer Globe II is jam-packed with hundreds of facts, trivia, and useful scholastic information about every aspect of the geographical world. It electronically verbalizes everything from area population, capitol city/country, state/province, large bodies of water, currencies, high points, distance, and more. Other remarkable features make the Explorer an even more useful reference tool. It has a world clock that, once set from your home area, will tell the time in every other part of the world. And any country can be selected to hear a sample its national music (yes, Tahiti does have a national anthem). The globe sits on a sturdy base, which features a dashboard full of interactive functions and an attached soft-tipped stylus. This stylus is the key instrument: use it to touch virtually any point on the surface of the globe to retrieve information. Diane Beall

Extractions: Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis 's father, M Moreau, was a member of the Council of Commerce and he also represented the state of Brittany. He had received his title shortly before the birth of Pierre-Louis who was his eldest son. Pierre-Louis's mother played a large part in forming his character by being excessively protective. Samuel Formey, in his obituary of Maupertuis for the Berlin Academy, wrote (see for example [1]):- Madame Moreau idolized her son rather than loved him. She could not refuse him anything. One effect of this treatment was that Maupertuis' younger brother, Moreau de Saint Ellier, was very jealous of the fact that his older brother was treated so much more favourably than he was, and he came to hate Maupertuis because of this. Saurin , Nicole, and Terrasson. His early interest in mathematics now blossomed and, with instruction in the higher reaches of the subject from these men, he soon acquired a deep understanding.

Extractions: Florian Wagner: Die Entdeckung Lapplands. Die Forschungsreisen Carl von Linnés und Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis' in den 1730er Jahren. PÅ SVENSKA In meinem Dissertationsprojekt im Rahmen des Graduiertenkollegs Imaginatio borealis möchte ich die Lapplandreisen Carl von Linnés (1732) und der Gruppe um Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1736-1737) - neben einigen anderen, wie etwa der Expedition Olof Rudbecks d.y. - genauer untersuchen. Ziel ist es, die Reiseberichte im Sinne des New Historicism mit dem historischen Kontext in Beziehung zu setzen und zu interpretieren. Damit soll die Untersuchung über einen reinen Vergleich zwischen den französischen und schwedischen Texten hinausgehen, der jedoch integraler Bestandteil der Untersuchung bleiben soll. In der zweiten Hälfte des 17.Jahrhunderts wuchs das schwedische Interesse an Lappland, der nördlichen Peripherie des Reiches, deutlich an, nicht zuletzt aufgrund der Silberfunde am Nasafjäll. Doch zwei Probleme stellten sich dabei: Zum einen war man auf die Arbeitskraft der Samen angewiesen, um die logistischen Schwierigkeiten beim Erztransport bewältigen zu können. Doch der den Samen dabei auferlegten 'Zwangsarbeit' entzogen sich diese häufig durch Flucht nach Norwegen, was in militärischer Hinsicht gefährlich erschien. Zum anderen waren die Kenntnisse über Lappland bei der Administration in Stockholm äußerst begrenzt. Einen Ausweg aus dem Dilemma bot eine Kolonisation Lapplands, so daß 1673 das erste 'Lappmarksplakat' zur Kolonisation von Karl IX herausgegeben wurde, dem 1695 das zweite folgte, zusammen mit einer 'Steuerreform' für die Lappmarken. Die erhoffte Siedlungswelle blieb jedoch aus.

Extractions: Enlaces Maupertuis, Pierre Louis Moreau de (Saint Malo, Francia, 1698-Basilea, Suiza, 1759) Matemático y astrónomo francés. En 1731 fue nombrado miembro de la Academia de las Ciencias de París, desde cuyo atrio se convirtió en uno de los más firmes defensores de la teoría de la gravitación de Newton. En 1736 dirigió una expedición a Laponia para medir la longitud de un arco de meridiano terrestre de 1º de longitud angular con tal de verificar la hipótesis newtoniana de que la Tierra es una esfera achatada por los polos. El éxito de la expedición le valió el ser nombrado miembro de la Academia de las Ciencias de Berlín y, más tarde, su presidente. En 1744 enunció el principio de la mínima acción a partir de la hipótesis de Fermat sobre el comportamiento de los rayos luminosos según la cual cuando la luz atraviesa varios medios de distinta densidad, sigue el camino por el cual el tiempo de recorrido es mínimo (camino óptico).
