5 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.

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.

6 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. Indeed, Laplace himself, a notoriously vain and selfish person in spite of his scientific genius, was careful to credit Leonhard Euler (1707--1783) with the ...
4 days ago · To that end, he founded a new observatory in Brussels. Shortly thereafter, he quite reasonably decided it would be a good idea to learn some astronomy. Studying in Paris, Quételet met a number of mathematicians. They included Pierre Simon, Marquis de Laplace, who was thinking about a new science of crime and disease. He called it Social Physics.
2 days ago · Objects whose gravitational fields are too strong for light to escape were first considered in the 18th century by John Michell and Pierre-Simon Laplace. In 1916, Karl Schwarzschild found the first modern solution of general relativity that would characterize a black hole.

3 days ago · It’s useless then to say “I didn’t do it” if sociologically, you have a higher probability of doing it than someone else might. Remember, your free choice not to do it no longer counts. In a society that truly does not believe in free will, the authorities must take your statistics into account, not just wait for the facts as we do today.
