  2. Laplace formulated Laplace's equation, and pioneered the Laplace transform which appears in many branches of mathematical physics, a field that he took a leading role in forming. The Laplacian differential operator , widely used in mathematics, is also named after him.

  3. Mar 23, 2012 · Pierre-Simon Laplace proved the stability of the solar system. In analysis Laplace introduced the potential function and Laplace coefficients. He also put the theory of mathematical probability on a sound footing.

  4. Mar 21, 2024 · Through his discovery that the attractive force of a mass upon a particle, regardless of direction, can be obtained directly by differentiating a single function, Laplace laid the mathematical foundation for the scientific study of heat, magnetism, and electricity.

  5. Pierre-Simon Laplace, born on March 23, 1749, in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy, France, was one of the most influential mathematicians and astronomers of the 18th and early 19th centuries.

  6. Amongst the minor discoveries of Laplace in pure mathematics is his discussion of the general theory of determinants in 1772, and his proof that every equation of an even degree must have at least one real quadratic factor; and a number of proofs and innovations in the differential and integral calculus.

  7. Mar 29, 2024 · Laplace transform, in mathematics, a particular integral transform invented by the French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827), and systematically developed by the British physicist Oliver Heaviside (1850–1925), to simplify the solution of many differential equations that describe.

  8. 1749-1827. French Mathematician and Astronomer. P ierre-Simon Laplace, sometimes called "the Newton of France," was a mathematician and astronomer who made many important contributions to the fields of mathematical astronomy and probability.
