  Jacques Ozanam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Ozanam (1640 - April 3, 1717) was a French mathematician.
Though he began the study of theology to please his father, he was more strongly attracted to mathematics, which he mastered without the aid of a teacher.
Ozanam was honoured more abroad than at home.

 Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam
In 1836 he left Paris, where he had known Chateaubriand, Ballanche, Montalembert, and Lacordaire, and was appointed to the bench at Lyons, but two years later returned to Paris to submit his thesis on Dante for his doctorate in letters.
Ozanam was untiring in energy, had a rare gift for precision and historical insight, and at the same time a naturalness in his verse and a spontaneous, pleasing eloquence, all the more charming because of his frankness.
When but twenty, Ozanam with seven companions had laid the foundations of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in order, as he said to "insure my faith by works of charity".

The subject first reappeared in Jacques Ozanam's Récréations Mathématiques et Physiques, which was a compilation in the tradition of C. Bachet's Problèmes Plaisans et Délectables which first appeared in 1612, and was imitated in numerous other collections of puzzles, tricks, mathematical recreations and popular scientific effects for entertainment and instruction at social gatherings.

He took his eighteen year old son Jacques Cassini with him and they made numerous geodesic observations, as well as returning to Bologna where they repaired the gnomon at the Church of San Petronio in Bologna which Cassini had designed nearly thirty years before.
