Pierre-Simon Laplace
In Our Time: Science
Carl Friedrich Gauss and the History of Science
Melvin Bragg: Laplace was a good in some sense populariser of science even though they were still quite complicated he stripped several accounts of any equations such that they could be read by the public so you could say you'd already taken on Hawking's idea that one equation halves your audience. He says we know rather little about his early background is that there were records of his family all got burned I think and some others got lostSo in principle one could have known more but unfortunately the evidence has been destroyed destroyed well thank you all very much in our time with Melvin Bragg.
