Who Is Siméon Denis Poisson?
Siméon Denis Poisson is mathematician famous and responsible for an important mathematical expression known as Poisson's Ratio.
He was born on 21-Jun-1781 at Pithiviers, France.
Siméon Poisson was a protégé of Laplace. Poisson was an extremely prolific researcher and also an excellent teacher. In addition to important advances in several areas of physics, Poisson made important contributions to Fourier analysis, definite integrals, path integrals, statistics, partial differential equations, calculus of variations and other fields of mathematics.
The Poisson Distribution is a discrete distribution is also named after Poisson. He published its essentials in a paper in 1837. The Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution have some similarities, but also several differences.
Among the books he authored:
Traité de Mécanique (1811, science)
Théorie Nouvelle de l'Action Capillaire (1831, science)
Théorie Mathématique de la Chaleur (1835, science)
Recherches sur la Probabilité des Jugements en Matière Criminelle et en Matière Civile (1837)
