Alexis Clairaut.
Clairaut died at the age of 52 after a brief illness.
Alexis Clairaut.
Mme du Châtelet based this part on the ideas of Clairaut.
His relations with Clairaut and Johann Bernoulli had broken down a little while before.
It left Dunkirk on 2 May 1736 with the scientists Clairaut and Camus under Maupertuis.
Clairaut wrote some important memoirs on the topic, studying the theory as well as conducting optical experiments.
In the preface to Elements de géometrie Clairaut gives his aims in writing the book.
Clairaut announced to the Academy on 17 May 1749 that his theory was now in agreement with the inverse square law.
As well as continuing to discuss mathematics with Maupertuis,she also did so with Clairaut(who also was her lover).
Together with Maupertuis, Clairaut visited Basel in 1734 to spend a few months studying with Johann Bernoulli.
A part was published in 1756, seven years after her death, under the direction of Clairaut with a preface written by Voltaire.
In this Clairaut had the support of Euler who, after learning of Clairaut's conclusions, wrote to him on 30 September 1747.
D'Alembert became unhappy at the Paris Academy, almost certainly because of his rivalry with Clairaut and disagreements with others.
In addition to Maupertuis and Clairaut, the group contained other young scientists such as Lemonnier, Camus and Celsius.
After returning to Bern, he continued to earn his living from his law practice butalso continued to study mathematics, in particular studying the works of Clairaut and Maupertuis.
Maupertuis was 15 years older than Clairaut but despite this, at the age of 33, he was also a young member of the Academy.
D'Alembert had begun to read parts of his Traité de dynamique to the Academy in late 1742 but soon afterwards Clairaut began to read his own work on dynamics to the Academy.
Clairaut, more confident with Euler 's support, announced to the Paris Academy on 15 November 1747 that the inverse square law was false.
He studied continuum mechanics, lunar theory with Clairaut, the three body problem, elasticity, acoustics, the wave theory of light, hydraulics, and music.
Clairaut decided to apply his knowledge of the three-body problem to compute the orbit of Halley 's comet and so predict the exact date of its return.
After his work on Théorie de la figure de la Terre Clairaut began to work on the three-body problem in 1745, in particular on the problem of the moon's orbit.
Clairaut published Théorie de la lune in 1752 and this work, together with his lunar tables published two years later, completed his work on this particular problem.
A heated argument between d'Alembert and Clairaut resulted in the two fine mathematicians trading insults in the scientific journals of the day.
In 1742 Clairaut published an important work on dynamics but, in the following year, he turned his attention to the topic for which he is best known.
The work had been first published by Clairaut in 1743 and it confirmed the Newton- Huygens belief that the Earth was flattened at the poles.
Clairaut suggested that a term in 1/r4 needed to be added and Euler(perhaps rather wisely) agreed that Clairaut had found the error in the inverse square law before he had.
Euler still felt he did not properly understand what Clairaut had done so he tried to tempt him to write it up properly by having the St Petersburg Academy to set the problem of the moon's apogee as the prize topic for 1752.
Clairaut, d'Alembert and Euler had all worked on the three-body problem and Clairaut now had the necessary mathematical knowledge to compute the perturbations in the orbit of the comet.
It is hard to judge which of the two great mathematicians was right, but Clairaut clearly won the public argument at the time, not least because his standing was so high after the remarkable prediction of the date of the return of Halley 's comet.
