Pierre-Simon Laplace
Pierre-Simon Laplace (23 March 1749 – 5 March 1827), later Marquis de Laplace, was a French mathematician and astronomer.
His work helped to develop mathematical astronomy and statistics.
His five volume Mécanique Céleste (Celestial Mechanics) (1799–1825) was a key work. In it, he changed the geometric study of classical mechanics to one based on calculus, which meant it could tackle a wider range of problems.

In statistics, the so-called Bayesian interpretation of probability was mainly developed by Laplace.[1]
He invented Laplace's equation, and pioneered the Laplace transform which is used in many branches of mathematical physics.
The Laplacian differential operator, widely used in mathematics, is also named after him.[2]
