	Simeon Denis Poisson - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIMEON DENIS POISSON (1781-1840), French mathematician, was born at Pithiviers in the department of Loiret, on the 21st of June 1781.
		Poisson was first sent to an uncle, a surgeon at Fontainebleau, and began to take lessons in bleeding and blistering, but made little progress.
		Poisson showed that the result could be extended to a second approximation, and thus made an important advance in the planetary theory.

	Siméon Denis Poisson
		Siméon-Denis Poisson's parents were not from the nobility and, although it was becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between the nobility and the bourgeoisie in France in the years prior to the French Revolution, the class system still had a major influence on his early years.
		Poisson was named deputy professor at the École Polytechnique in 1802, a position he held until 1806 when he was appointed to the professorship at the École Polytechnique when Fourier was sent by Napoleon to Grenoble.
		Poisson's name is attached to a wide variety of ideas, for example:- Poisson's integral, Poisson's equation in potential theory, Poisson brackets in differential equations, Poisson's ratio in elasticity, and Poisson's constant in electricity.

		Poisson's ratio in elasticity is the ratio of the lateral contraction of a body to its longitudinal extension.
		Poisson was also responsible for a formulation of the ‘law of large numbers’, which he introduced in his work on probability theory, Recherches sur la probabilité des jugements/Researches on the Probability of Opinions (1837).
		Poisson was born in Pithiviers, Loirel, and studied in Paris at the Ecole Polytechnique, where he became professor in 1806.

	Simeon Denis Poisson (1781 - 1840)
		Poisson used to add that his gymnastic efforts carried him incessantly from one side to the other, and it was thus in his tenderest infancy that he commenced those studies on the pendulum that were to occupy so large a part of his mature age.
		Poisson, on his return home after this adventure, discovered amongst the official papers sent to his father a copy of the questions set at the Polytechnic school, and at once found his career.
		Poisson also published a paper in 1821 on the libration of the moon; and another in 1827 on the motion of the earth about its centre of gravity.

	Poisson biography
		Poisson was named deputy professor at the École Polytechnique in 1802, a position he held until 1806 when he was appointed to the professorship at the École Polytechnique which Fourier had vacated when he had been sent by Napoleon to Grenoble.
		Poisson's work on attractive forces was itself a major influence on Green's major paper of 1828 although Poisson never seems to have discovered that Green was inspired by his formulations.
		Poisson never wished to occupy himself with two things at the same time; when, in the course of his labours, a research project crossed his mind that did not form any immediate connection with what he was doing at the time, he contented himself with writing a few words in his little wallet.

	Science Fair Projects - Simeon Poisson
		His father, Siméon Poisson, served as a common soldier in the Hanoverian wars ; but, disgusted by the ill-treatment he received from his patrician officers, he deserted.
		When the Bourbons were restored, his hatred against Napoleon led him to become a Legitimist — a conclusion which says more for the simplicity of his character than for the strength or logic of his political creed.
		The memoir is remarkable inasmuch as it roused Lagrange, after an interval of inactivity, to compose in his old age one of the greatest of his memoirs, entitled Sur la théorie des variations des éléments des planètes, et en particulier des variations des grands axes de leurs orbites.

	Tales of Statisticians \| Siméon-Denis Poisson
		Poisson was born to modestly situated parents, and owed his career to the new scientific institutions created by the Revolution, which systematically sought and advanced students of promise.
		Poisson began to study mathematics at the École Polytechnique in 1798, with Laplace and Lagrange among his teachers; Laplace remained a strong supporter in Poisson's later career.
		Poisson's Law of Large Numbers (1835), a generalization of Bernoulli and an advance on de Moivre, was the direct inspiration for Quetelet, and determined the direction of what is called the Continental school of statistics.

		Though he was a very prolific mathematician who contributed to a wide variety of fields during his career, we mention his mechanics specifically because of its being at the foundation of the other main formulation of quantum mechanics - Heisenberg's Matrix Mechanics.
		In Poisson's formulation, he created a new entity which were called Poisson Brackets, a function involving the Hamiltonian of the system and then some other functional property.
		Poisson showed how the time evolution of this other property was equal to this Poisson Bracket.

		Poisson was born on June 21, 1781 in Pithiviers, Loiret, France, the son of a low-ranking civil servant.
		Poisson adapted Lagrange's work on the subject, showing mathematically that this function would remain constant over the surface of an insulated conductor and gave a proof of the formula for the force at a charged conductor's surface.
		Poisson accepted a nomination in 1820 to the Royal Council of the University, giving him the leverage and prestige he needed to defend science in France as a worthwhile and necessary discipline.

		The modern approach to extreme value analysis is based on a point process representation, equivalent to: (i) a Poisson process governing the rate of occurrence of exceedance of a high threshold; and (ii) a generalized Pareto distribution for the excess over the threshold.
