  7. Dec 24, 2016 · Siméon-Denis Poissons greatest contribution to astronomical and physical theory, the Poisson bracket, was generated by the mathematical development of perturbation calculation for the solar system. He is also remembered for Poisson statistics, appropriate for samples with small numbers of members, as often happens in astronomy.
