‎D'ALEMBERT Jean Baptiste le Rond.‎

‎Portrait by Ernst Hader pinxit photographed by Sophus Williams.‎

‎Berlin Phot.u. Verlag Sophus Williams 1881. Original photograph carte de visite albumen print 107 x 68 cm with his in reproduction printed signature. Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert 16 November 1717 - 29 October 1783 was a French mathematician mechanician physicist and philosopher. He was also co-editor with Denis Diderot of the Encyclop�die. D'Alembert's method for the wave equation is named after him. - Born in Paris d'Alembert was the illegitimate child of the writer Claudine Gu�rin de Tencin and the chevalier Louis-Camus Destouches an artillery officer. Destouches was abroad at the time of d'Alembert's birth and a couple of days after birth his mother left him on the steps of the Saint-Jean-le-Rond de Paris church. According to custom he was named after the patron saint of the church. D'Alembert was placed in an orphanage for found children but was soon adopted by the wife of a glazier. Destouches secretly paid for the education of Jean le Rond but did not want his paternity officially recognised. - D'Alembert first attended a private school. The chevalier Destouches left d'Alembert an annuity of 1200 livres on his death in 1726. Under the influence of the Destouches family at the age of twelve D'Alembert entered the Jansenist Coll�ge des Quatre-Nations the institution was also known under the name "Coll�ge Mazarin". Here he studied philosophy law and the arts graduating as bachelier in 1735. In his later life D'Alembert scorned the Cartesian principles he had been taught by the Jansenists: "physical promotion innate ideas and the vortices". - The Jansenists steered D'Alembert toward an ecclesiastical career attempting to deter him from pursuits such as poetry and mathematics. Theology was however "rather unsubstantial fodder" for d'Alembert. He entered law school for two years and was nominated avocat in 1738. - He was also interested in medicine and mathematics. Jean was first registered under the name Daremberg but later changed it to d'Alembert. The name "d'Alembert" was proposed by Johann Heinrich Lambert for a suspected but non-existent moon of Venus.citation needed - In July 1739 he made his first contribution to the field of mathematics pointing out the errors he had detected in L'analyse d�montr�e published 1708 by Charles Ren� Reynaud in a communication addressed to the Acad�mie des Sciences. At the time L'analyse d�montr�e was a standard work which d'Alembert himself had used to study the foundations of mathematics. D'Alembert was also a Latin scholar of some note and worked in the latter part of his life on a superb translation of Tacitus from which he received wide praise including that of Denis Diderot. In 1740 he submitted his second scientific work from the field of fluid mechanics M�moire sur la r�fraction des corps solides which was recognized by Clairaut. In this work d'Alembert theoretically explained refraction. In 1741 after several failed attempts d'Alembert was elected into the Acad�mie des Sciences. He was later elected to the Berlin Academy in 1746. In 1743 he published his most famous work Trait� de dynamique in which he developed his own laws of motion. - When the Encyclop�die was organized in the late 1740s d'Alembert was engaged as co-editor for mathematics and science with Diderot and served until a series of crises temporarily interrupted the publication in 1757. He authored over a thousand articles for it including the famous Preliminary Discourse. D'Alembert "abandoned the foundation of Materialism" when he "doubted whether there exists outside us anything corresponding to what we suppose we see." In this way D'Alembert agreed with the Idealist Berkeley and anticipated the Transcendental idealism of Kant. In 1752 he wrote about what is now called D'Alembert's paradox: that the drag on a body immersed in an inviscid incompressible fluid is zero. In 1754 d'Alembert was elected a member of the Acad�mie fran�aise of which he became Permanent Secretary on 9 April 1772. - D'Alembert was a participant in several Parisian salons particularly those of Marie Th�r�se Rodet Geoffrin of the marquise du Deffand and of Julie de Lespinasse. d'Alembert became infatuated with Mlle de Lespinasse and eventually took up residence with her. - He suffered bad health for many years and his death was as the result of a bladder illness. As a known unbeliever D'Alembert was buried in a common unmarked grave. - In France the fundamental theorem of algebra is known as the d'Alembert/Gauss theorem an error in d'Alembert's proof was caught by Gauss. He also created his ratio test a test to see if a series converges. The D'Alembertian operator which first arose in D'Alembert's analysis of vibrating strings plays an important role in modern theoretical physics. While he made great strides in mathematics and physics d'Alembert is also famously known for incorrectly arguing in Croix ou Pile that the probability of a coin landing heads increased for every time that it came up tails. In gambling the strategy of decreasing one's bet the more one wins and increasing one's bet the more one loses is therefore called the D'Alembert system a type of martingale. - Diderot portrayed "Le r�ve de D'Alembert" "D'Alembert's Dream" written after the two men became estranged. It depicts D'Alembert ill in bed conducting a debate on materialist philosophy in his sleep. - The Andrew Crumey novel "D'Alembert's Principle" 1996 takes its title from D'Alembert's principle in physics. Its first part describes D'Alembert's life and his infatuation with Julie de Lespinasse. Wikipedia. KEYWORDS:france/photo unknown‎

‎First edition. "Devoted primarily to the motion of the moon (volume III included a new set of lunar tables), it was written at least partially to guard d'Alembert's claims to originality against those of Clairaut. As was so often the case, d'Alembert's method was mathematically more sound, but Clairaut's method was more easily used by astronomers." DSB I, 114. A complete copy with the "Nouvelles Tables de la Lune par M. d'Alembert" which occupies the end of the last volume with its own pagination; these last 32 pages are often missing. Lalande, p. 453 and 459: "The first volume contains scholarly research on the three-body problem. The third volume contains a great deal of research into the construction of moon tables."

(Reliure de l'époque.) //// Première édition. "Consacré principalement au mouvement de la lune (le volume III comprend une nouvelle série de tables de la lunes), il a été écrit au moins en partie pour protéger les prétentions à l'originalité de d'Alembert contre celles de Clairaut. Comme ce fut souvent le cas, la méthode de d'Alembert était mathématiquement plus solide, mais celle de Clairaut était plus facilement utilisable par les astronomes". DSB I, 114. Exemplaire complet des "Nouvelles Tables de la Lune par M. d'Alembert" qui occupent la fin du dernier tome avec sa propre pagination; ces 32 dernières pages manquent souvent. Lalande, p. 453 et 459.

This first published work of d'Alembert is a landmark in the history of mechanics. In his Traite de dynamique he recognized that a scientific revolution had occurred and set out to formalize the new science of mechanics – an accomplishment often misattributed to Newton. "It reduces the laws of the motion of bodies to a law of equilibrium. Its statement that the internal forces of inertia must be equal and opposite to the forces that produce the acceleration is still known as d'Alembert's principle. This principle is applied to many phenomena and in particular to the theory of the motion of fluids." PMM. In this work D'Alembert discusses his three laws of motion: inertia the parallelogram of motion and equilibrium. The Traite reduced the laws of the motion of bodies to a law of equilibrium. It has become useful in the solution of many technical and mechanical problems. D'Alembert in addition to being a mathematician mechanician physicist and philosopher was also co-editor with Denis Diderot of the Encyclopedie. D'Alembert's method for the wave equation is also named after him.

Dans l'ensemble, conformément au titre, le mathématicien reste fidèle aux conceptions de Rameau, ce qui faisait dire à celui-ci, en mai 1752 :"M. d'Alembert [...] a cherché dans mes Ouvrages [...] des vérités à simplifier, à rendre plus familières, plus lumineuses, & par conséquent plus utiles au grand nombre [...] Il n'a pas dédaigné de se mettre à la portée même des Enfants [...] Enfin il m'a donné la consolation de voir ajouter à la solidité de mes principes une simplicité dont je les sentais susceptibles, mais que je ne leur aurais donnée qu'avec beaucoup plus de peine, & peut-être moins heureusement que lui [...].
