de moivre, abraham. The Frenchborn mathematician abraham de moivre, b. May 26,1667, d. Nov. 27, 1754, was a pioneer in PROBABILITY theory and TRIGONOMETRY.

Extractions: de Moivre, Abraham The French-born mathematician Abraham de Moivre, b. May 26, 1667, d. Nov. 27, 1754, was a pioneer in PROBABILITY theory and TRIGONOMETRY. He discovered the approximation of the BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION known as the NORMAL DISTRIBUTION. He also investigated mortality statistics and the foundation of the theory of annuities and devised DE MOIVRE'S THEOREM, a trigonometric formula for obtaining powers and roots of complex numbers. A French Protestant, de Moivre emigrated (1685) to England following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In 1697 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. His book The Doctrine of Chances (1718) contained major advances in probability theory. Despite his scientific eminence, he subsisted mainly by tutoring mathematics and died in poverty.

With that description, I have to list his financial status as unknown. On the one hand, the father was able to have his son educated initially by a tutor and later to send him, at age eleven, to the Protestant academy at Sedan. On the other hand, Walker calls the father a poor surgeon. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: English Death: English 4. Education Schooling: Saumur; Paris Catholic Village School.

Extractions: Pronunciation Key Moivre, Abraham de , French-English mathematician. He fled to England after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He was called upon by the Royal Society to help decide the issue between Newton and Leibniz on the priority of the invention of the differential calculus. De Moivre made important contributions to trigonometry and to the theory of probabilities, on which he published Doctrine of Chances (1718). There are three mathematical theorems which bear his name.
