	Alexis Claude Clairault
		Alexis Claude Clairault (or Clairaut) (May 3, 1713 - May 17, 1765), French mathematician, at Paris, where his father was a teacher of mathematics.
		In 1736, together with Pierre Louis Maupertuis, he took part in the expedition to Lapland, which was undertaken for the purpose of estimating a degree of the meridian, and on his return he published his treatise Théorie de la figure de la terre (1743).
		In this work he promulgated the theorem, known as "Clairault’s theorem[?]," which connects the gravity at points on the surface of a rotating ellipsoid with the compression and the centrifugal force at the equator.

		Alexis Claude de Clairault (or Clairaut) (May 3, 1713 – May 17, 1765) was a French mathematician and thinker.
		Clairault subsequently wrote various papers on the orbit of the Moon, and on the motion of comets as affected by the perturbation of the planets, particularly on the path of Halley's comet.
		In 1741 Clairault went on a scientific expedition to measure the length of a meridian degree on the Earth's surface, and on his return in 1743 he published his Théorie de la figure de la terre.

		The arc was subsequently extended by Jean Baptiste Biot and Dominique Francois Jean Arago to the island of Iviza.
		The problem of the figure of the earth treated as a question of mechanics or hydrostatics is one of great difficulty, and it would be quite impracticable but for the circumstance that the surface differs but little from a sphere.
		According to Clairault's theorem (see above) the ellipticity e of the mathematical surface of the earth is equal to the difference 2m-13, where m is the ratio of the centrifugal force at the equator to gravity at the equator, and s is derived from the formula G= g(1 +0 sin 2 0).
