Establishment of her own SaloneditMlle de Lespinasse then set up a salon of her own which was joined by many of the most brilliant members of Madame du Deffand's circle. Jean le Rond d'Alembert was one of the most assiduous of her friends and eventually came to live in her house. This arrangement ensured d'Alembert's comfort and lent influence to Mlle de Lespinasse's salon. Although she had neither beauty nor rank her ability as a hostess made her get-togethers the most popular in Paris. She owes her distinction however not to her social success but to circumstances which remained a secret during her lifetime even from her closest friends. Two volumes of Lettres published in 1809 displayed her as the victim of a passion of a rare intensity. In virtue of this ardent intense quality Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve and other of her critics place her letters in the limited category to which belong the Latin letters of H�loise and the Letters of a Portuguese Nun. Relationship with the Marquis de MoraeditHer first passion a reasonable and serious one was for the Marquis de Mora son of the Spanish ambassador in Paris. She first met him about two years after establishing her salon and then met him again when he returned to Paris two years later. Julie fell in love with the wealthy and handsome Marquis and he returned her feelings. He began to suffer symptoms of consumption however and returned to Spain because of his ill health. Mora's illness and the separation caused Julie much pain and anxiety although soon after his departure she became acquainted with the man who would be the main passion of her life the Comte de Guibert. On the way to Paris in 1774 to fulfill promises exchanged with Mlle de Lespinasse Mora died at Bordeaux. Relationship with the Comte du GuiberteditJulie's letters to the Comte de Guibert the undeserving object of her fatal infatuation begin from 1773. From the struggle between her affection for Mora and her blind passion for her new lover the letters go on to describe her partial disenchantment on Guibert's marriage and her final despair. hardcover‎

‎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

D'Alembert discusses the mathematical theory of vibrations of cords and hereby he was led to partial differential equations which he applied to the "Theory of Winds" and laid the base of a scientific meteorology. He rejected the conception of Edmund Halley that the general circulation of the atmosphere is significantly controlled by the distribution of solar heating and applies a mathematical theory based on Newton's law of gravitation thus explaining the winds by means of the gravitational forces from the sun and moon. - D'Alembert's name survives in the mathematics of today the "Dalabertian" for wave equation D'alembert's paradox in hydrodynamics etc. hardcover‎

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.
