		Family Financial Circumstance: Gov He was the eldest son of Laurent de La Hire, peintre ordinaire du roi, and founder and professor at the Académie Royale de Peinture and Sculpture.
		La Hire's father was also one of the first disciples of Desargues.
		La Hire published three works in one volume which, though not original, provided an exposition of the properties of conic sections and the progress of analytic geometry during the half century.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philippe de La Hire
		Philippe first studied painting in Rome, where he had gone for his health in 1660, but on his return to Paris, soon devoted himself to the classics and to science.
		In 1683, he continued the principal meridian north from Paris, Cassini at the same time continuing it south, and, in 1684, he investigated the flow and fall of the River Eure in connexion with the water-supply of Versailles.
		The chief contributions of La Hire were in the department of pure geometry.

	The Problem of Lineal Standards
		In 1667 the newly established Academie des Sciences and Academie des Inscriptions were influential in causing the establishment of a new standard of the Chatelet, which too was posted in the courtyard, where in 1758 it was damaged by an accident similar to that had occurred to the older one.
		The greater length of the pied de roi was adjusted to a cube of 72 librae.
		Philippe de la Hire submitted to the Academie des Sciences an ancien instrument de mathematique, which he said had been the rule used in establishing the new toise; I have found that his numerous measurements of Roman monuments indicated that he used a foot about 1/1000 shorter than the standard of Langlois.

		Gilles Personier (de) Roberval, born at Roberval in 1602 and died at Paris in 1675, described himself from the place of his birth as de Roberval, a seigniorial title to which he had no right.
		Antoine de Laloubère, a Jesuit, born in Languedoc in 1600 and died at Toulouse in 1664, is chiefly celebrated for an incorrect solution of Pascal's problems on the cycloid, which he gave in 1660, but he has a better claim to distinction in having been the first mathematician to study the properties of the helix.
		Philippe De la Hire (or Lahire), born in Paris on March 18, 1640, and died there on April 21, 1719, wrote on graphical methods, 1673; on the conic sections, 1685; a treatise on epicycloids, 1694; one on roulettes, 1702; and, lastly, another on conchoids, 1708.

		Moreover, he accuses De Raey of having kept things for himself—which De Raey in turn denied claiming that ‘the papers in the suitcase were few in number and of little interest because Descartes had taken the more important ones with him to Sweden’.12 That not all letters were burned is in fact certain.

		According to a note on the wrapper that protects the manuscript the letters were copied ‘sur les originales’.98 This appears to be impossible, given the fact that the copy was made in the early 18th century and the fact that the original letters of Elizabeth were returned to her.

	EPICYCLOID - LoveToKnow Article on EPICYCLOID
		The locus of any other carried point is an epitrochoid when the circle rolls externally, and a hypotrochoid when the circle rolls internally.
		Epicycloids also received attention at the hands of Edmund Halley, Sir Isaac Newton and others; spherical epicycloids, in which the moving circle is inclined at a constant angle to the plane of the fixed circle, were studied by the ~ernoullis, Pierre Louis M. de Maupertuis, Francois Nicole, Alexis Claude Clairault and others.
		In the annexed figure, there are shown various examples of the curves named above, when the radii of the rolling and fixed circles are in the ratio of I to 3.

		De Morgan was an outspoken champion of academic freedom and of religious tolerance.
		De Moivre is particularly noted for his work Annuities upon Lives, which played an important role in the history of actuarial mathematics, his Doctrine of Chances, which contained much new material on the theory of probability, and his Miscellanea analytica, which contributed to recurrent series, probability, and analytic trigonometry.
		De Moivre is credited with first treatment of the probability integral, and of (essentially) the normal frequency curve, which is so important in the study of statistics.

	TELESCOPE - LoveToKnow Article on TELESCOPE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The practical discovery of the instrument was certainly made in Holland about 1608, but the credit of the original invention has been claimed on behalf of three individuals, Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Jansen, spectacle-makers in Middelburg, and James Metius of Alkmaar (brother of Adrian Metius the mathematician).
		No further practical advance appears to have been made in the design or construction of the instrument till the year 1723, when John Hadley (best known as the inventor of the sextant) presented to the Royal Society a reflecting telescope of the Newtonian construction, with a metallic speculum of 6-in.
		Every time, therefore, that a speculum is repolished, the future quality of the instrument is at stake; its focal length will probably be altered, and thus the value of the constants of the micrometer also have to be redetermined.

		When Philippe Galle took over Cock's press there were reissues, frequently with new plates of the perspectival views, of Cock, Jan Vredeman de Vries and his son Paul.
		Aside from reissues of Vredeman de Vries (1606,1673), Blum (1640), and Serlio (1653), there were only a handful of new publications: a collection of ruins and views by Nieulandt (1610, 1628), an optical treatise by Aguilonius (1613), a work on conic sections by Saint Vincent (1647) and a technical treatment of perspective by Tacquet (1669).

	Jean Dominique (Giovani Domenico) Cassini
		Although his visit was originally intented to be limited duration, Cassini warmed up to France to the point of accepting the directorship of the Observatory in 1671, and never returned to Italy.
		Carried out primarily by the Jesuit Jean Picard (1620-1682), and later by Philippe de La Hire (1640-1718), this program included sunspot observations as well as measurements of the solar diameter.
		The Observatoire de Paris thus remained under the leadership of the Cassini family for over 120 years, until Dominique resigned his position in 1793 for political reasons.

		The same year he married Genevieve de Laistre, daughter of the Count de Clermont's lieutenant-general, who was a King's adviser, and bought the castle of Thury, near Beauvais, which became his family residence and whose area was crossed- amazingly!- by the Paris meridian.
		As soon as Cassini arrived at the Observatory, he began a series of observations of the lunar surface which was to lead to the realization of an Atlas (1678), a large Map(1692), and to a theory of the libration and three laws of the Moon rotation, that bear his name.
		He knew how to interest the King and his court in his work, and to assert himself by his talent and qualities of organizer, among renowned astronomers such as Jean Picard, Christian Huygens, Olaüs Römer, Giacomo Felippo Maraldi, Philippe de La Hire, who were sometimes called the "Paris school" with Cassini as leader.
