9 hours ago · Laplace’s Demon is a hypothetical, all-knowing entity first proposed by French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827) in the early nineteenth century. This intellectual construct, this imagined demon, is capable of precisely predicting the future including all actions by all humans, simply by knowing the position and momentum of ...
3 days ago · The Nebular Hypothesis was further developed by French mathematician and astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace in the late 18th century. Laplace expanded on Kant’s idea, suggesting that the solar nebula contracted due to gravitational forces, causing it to spin faster and flatten into a disk.

4 days ago · The Laplace transform is named after the French mathematician and astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749--1827). However, he did not actually invent what we now call the Laplace transform.
1 day ago · That’s a standard argument that depends on the idea, popularized in science by Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827), that the universe is completely determined. In today’s terms, that means it was determined from the Big Bang to the present.
3 days ago · The Laplace transform is named after mathematician and astronomer Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace, who used a similar transform in his work on probability theory. Laplace wrote extensively about the use of generating functions (1814), and the integral form of the Laplace transform evolved naturally as a result.
4 days ago · In this section, we discuss some algorithms to solve numerically boundary value porblems for Laplace's equation (∇ 2 u = 0), Poisson's equation (∇ 2 u = g(x,y)), and Helmholtz's equation (∇ 2 u + k(x,y) u = g(x,y)).
