Excerpt: Abraham de Moivre (26 May 1667 in Vitry-le-François, Champagne, France 27 November 1754 in London, England; French pronunciation: ) was a French mathematician famous for de Moivre's formula, which links complex numbers and trigonometry, and for his work on the normal distribution and probability theory. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1697, and was a friend of Isaac Newton, Edmund Halley, and James Stirling. Among his fellow Huguenot exiles in England, he was a colleague of the editor and translator Pierre des Maizeaux. The social status of the family de Moivre is unclear, but his father, a surgeon, was able to send him to the Protestant academy at Sedan (167882). De Moivre studied logic at the Academy of Saumur (168284), attended the Collège d'Harcourt in Paris (1684), and studied privately with Jacques Ozanam (168485). It appears that de Moivre never received a college degree. A Calvinist, de Moivre left France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) and spent the remainder of his life in England. Throughout his life de Moivre remained poor. It is reported that he was a regular customer of Slaughter's Coffee House, St. Martin's Lane at Cranbourn Street, where he earned a little money from playing chess. Abraham de Moivre died in London and was buried at St Martin-in-the-Fields, although his body was later moved. De Moivre wrote a book on probability theory, The Doctrine of Chances, said to have been prized by gamblers. It is reported in all seriousness that de Moivre correctl...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=57327 ... Read more

Il a été condamné en avril 2001 pour sept meurtres à l'emprisonnement à perpétuité assortie d'une période de sûreté de 22 ans. L'affaire du « tueur de l'Est parisien » a affolé l'opinion publique et, en raison des différents errements de l'enquête, a finalement abouti au principe du fichage ADN en France. Il fait l'objet d'un numéro de l'émission de faits divers "Faites entrer l'accusé" dont la dernière diffusion date du 14 mars 2010 sur France 2. Fils d'un soldat afro-américain de passage en France (George Cartwright), Guy Georges Rampillon nait le 15 octobre 1962 à Vitry-le-François. Il est rapidement abandonné par sa mère et est confié à la DDASS. Pour faciliter son adoption, on lui attribue le nom de Georges à l'âge de 6 ans tout en supprimant le nom Rampillon. Le jeune Guy est placé chez la famille Morin où il révèle très tôt un caractère solitaire au sein d'une famille nombreuse (13 enfants adoptés). Très vite, son caractère violent et agressif apparaît. À 14 ans, il tente ainsi d'étrangler une de ses sœurs adoptives, Roselyne, handicapée mentale. À 16 ans, il récidive en agressant Christiane, une autre de ses sœurs adoptives. Dans les deux cas, il semble avoir agi par pulsion. Inquiète pour ses autres filles, Mme Morin obtient ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Description:
John Theophilus Desaguliers's allegorical poem The Newtonian system of the world, the best model of government (1728) crystallizes the contribution of several important French Protestant exiles to the construction of early Newtonianism. In the context of diverging interpretations of Newton's scientific achievement in terms of natural religion, writers such as Des Maizeaux, Coste, Le Clerc and others actively disseminated a version of Newtonianism which was close to Newton's own intention. Through public experiments, translations, correspondence, reviews and books, they managed to convey a vision of Newtonian science which coincided with their propaganda of English liberties in Church and State. Therefore their effort on behalf of Newtonianism can be interpreted as part of a wider strategy of assimilation into English society at a time when most exiled Huguenots had given up hope of ever recreating a French Reformed Church at home. ...
