D'Alembert

D'Alembert (1717-1783), full name Jean-Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert, was a French philosopher, devoted to science, and especially to mathematics. He, along with Diderot, established the celebrated "Encyclopédie," wrote the Preliminary Discourse, and contributed largely to its columns, editing the mathematical portion of it. Trained to quiet and frugality, he was indifferent to wealth and honour, and a very saint of science. No earthly bribe could tear him away from his chosen path of life.
