Joseph was born on March 21, 1768 in France. He grew up with a mom, dad and twelve brothers and sisters. Out of all of the children, he was the ninth. His dad married his first wife and they had three children. His Father then remarried because his first wife died. They had nine more kids. Out of those nine kids, he was the sixth child. Joseph’s mom died when he was only nine years old. His father died the following year.
Joseph first went to school at Pallais’s School. The monks from the cathedral were in charge of the school. It was a military school. While in school, Joseph studied Latin, French and showed great potential. Even though he showed an aptitude for literature by the age of thirteen, he knew that he wanted to be in mathematics. In 1773, Joseph completed studying the six volumes of Bézout's Cours de mathématiques when he was fourteen. In the following year, when he was fifteen, he received the first prize for his study of Bossut's Mécanique en général.
In 1787, he was studying to prepare for the priesthood. Even though he went into the priesthood, he still wanted to do something with math. While he was in the priesthood, he helped a math professor with his lessons. He was unsure if he was making the right decision about the priesthood. However, he submitted a paper on algebra to Montucla in Paris and wrote a letter to Bonard stating his desire to influence mathematics.
The next year, Joseph started tutoring at Benedictine College. His problem of picking his religious life or a mathematics life became worse. It got much worse when he went into politics and joined the local Revolutionary Committee.
Joseph did not take his religious vows of priesthood. He left the cathedral in 1789 and he visited Paris and read a pap...

...ize and distance from the sun. He thought that the only way the Earth would be this warm was because of interstellar radiation. This is the first time people have thought of the Earth’s atmosphere as an insulator.
Joseph never had a wife or any children. His health started getting worse in the year of 1830. He had experienced heart attacks when he was in Egypt and Grenoble. When he was in Paris, his breathing became more difficult. He would just have periods of time where he just stopped breathing. He fell down the stairs on May 4, 1830. A few days later, on May 16, 1830 he died in Paris. His tomb has been decorated with an Egyptian theme to show his position as secretary of Cairo. He had many mathematical accomplishments and has greatly influenced the mathematical field. Joseph Fourier is one, amongst the 72 others, to have his name inscribed on the Eiffel Tower.
Joseph Louis Barrow was born May 13, 1914. Being the son of a sharecropper, Joseph was brought up in a cotton-field near Lafayette, Alabama. Growing up as the eighth child in a small household, inevitably financial struggle is bound to happen. An example of this was that the kids had to sleep three to a bed. Joseph received little schooling and after his mom, Lillie Barrow, remarried (learning that her husband, Munroe Barrow, and Joseph’s father died in the Searcy state hospital for the Colored Insane) the family moved to Detroit, Michigan. Since moving to Detroit was the first major change in Joseph’s life, Joseph was unprepared for school. He was often mistaken for being dumb because of his social awkwardness as in being shy and quiet. In order to “change” this, his mother paid for violin lessons.
Born in the year 37 C.E., a few years after the time of Jesus, Josephus was born Joseph ben Mattathius, in Jerusalem. He grew up in the Early Common Era, during the time the Romans occupied his Jewish homeland. His father was a priest and his mother was of royal descent.
Born in Paris on Nov. 4,1577, Francois Leclerc du Tremblay was the son of a royal judge. After brief military career, he underwent a religious conversation and joined the Capuchin order, taking the name Father Joseph. His missionary zeal , political astuteness, and tireless activity enable him to rise rapidly within the Capuchin order, and Father Joseph directed its energies to converting infidels aboard and the Protestant Huguenots in France.
Joseph was born on March 3, 1840, in Wallowa Valley, Oregon Territory. His formal Indian name translates to Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain, but he goes by Joseph. He was named after his father, Joseph the Elder. He was named after he was baptized. His father’s relationship with the whites was unclear. He had been one if the first Indians to convert to Christianity. He forged a new treaty that created a reservation for the Nez Perce. When gold was discovered in the territories, white people began to come onto their lands. The treaty was soon destroyed after the U.S. government began to take back millions of acres that they had promised to Joseph the Elder.
In conclusion, there are many connections to be made between the life of Joseph and Jesus. They both encountered much adversity which then in turn resulted in the redemption of many. The difference is Joseph was able to help some and Jesus was salvation for
In 1583, Galileo went to the University of Pisa to study medicine. He didn’t like medicine, but he did enjoy math and physics. After going to a Geometry lecture, Galileo decided to dedicate himself to math. He would soon have to leave the university, without a degree, because of money.
Blaise Pascal was born in Clermont France on June 19, 1623 to Etienne Pascal. His mother died when he was only 3. He was the third of four children and the only boy. He was described as a man of: small stature, poor health, loud spoken, somewhat overbearing, precious, stubbornly persevering, a perfectionist, highly pugnacious yet seeking to be humble and meek. Pascal's father had somewhat unorthodox views on education, so he decided to teach his son himself. He forbade any mathematic teachings or material to be given to him and had any such texts removed from their house. Blaise became engulfed with curiosity due to this rule. He started to work with geometry on his own at the age of 12. He discovered that the sum of the three angles of a triangle is equivalent to two right angles. When his father discovered this he then allowed Blaise a copy of Euclid. At the age of 14 Blaise began accompanying his father to Mersenne's meetings. Mersenne was a member of a religious order of Minims. His cell held many meetings for the likes of Gassendi, Roberval, Carcavi, Auzout, Mydorge, Mylon, Desargues and others. By the time he was 15 Blaise admired the work of Desargues greatly. At 16 Pascal presented a single piece of paper at a Mersenne's meeting in June 1639. It held many of his geometry theorems, including his mystic hexagon. In December 1639 he and his family left Paris and moved to Rouen where his father Etienne was appointed tax collector for Upper Normandy. Soon after settling down in Rouen his Essay on Conic Sections was published in February of 1640. It was his first great work. Pascal also invented the first digital calculator to aid his father in his tax collecting duties. For three years he worked 1642 - 1545. Dubbed the Pascaline, it resembled a mechanical calculator of the 1940's. This almost assuredly makes Pascal second only to Shickard who manufactured the first in 1624. Pascal faced problems with the design of the calculator due to the design of French currency at the time. There were 12 deniers in a sol, and 20 sols in a livre. Therefore there were 240 deniers in a livre. Hence Pascal had to deal with more technical problems to work with this odd way of dividing by 240. Yet the currency system remained the same in France until 1799, but Britain's similar system lasted until 1971.
Much of his anti-imperialistic views could have sprouted in childhood, when he was under the rule of Russians the Ukraine. His father Apollo Korzeniowski was arrested for suspicious involvement in revolutionary activities (online-literature). Apollo spent much time writing plays and social satires. Although his works were not well known, they gave Joseph an early appreciation for literature.
“Thus in arithmetic, during the few months that he studied it, he made such progress that he frequently confounded his master by continually raising doubts and difficulties. He devoted some time to music … Yet though he studied so many different things, he never neglected design and working in relief, those being the things which appealed to his fancy more than any other.”
There are no recorded dates for his birth or death, but scholars do know that he died at age 110 (Gen 50:22-26). From his birth he was the favored son among twelve, causing jealousy in his brothers. In their jealousy they sold Joseph to slave traders and lied to Jacob, telling him Joseph was killed. As a slave, Joseph worked under Potiphar who placed him as chief steward. Unfortunately, Joseph was accused of adultery by Potipher’s wife, causing him to be imprisoned. But God saved him and placed him as Pharaoh’s grand vizier, after gifting Joseph with the ability to interpret dreams. Joseph’s life was no easy walk, in fact, trail faced him constantly. First, his mother died, then his brothers betrayed him causing him to live as a slave, he was later accused falsely and imprisoned. Once released from prison he took leadership under Pharaoh but was confronted by his brothers. With God, he was able to forgive his brothers and continue a relationship with them. Some of the people associated with Joseph are Jacob, Rachel, Reuben, Judah, Potipher, Potipher’s wife and Benjamin. Joseph’s legacy consisted of his sons Ephraim and Manasseh, who were both blessed by
His father taught his Latin but after a while saw his son’s greater passion towards mathematics. However, Andre resumed his Latin lessons to enable him to study the work of famous mathematicians Leonhard Euler and Bernoulli. While in the study of his father’s library his favorite study books were George Louis Leclerc history book and Denis Diderot and Jean Le Rond Encyclopedia, became Ampere’s schoolmasters (Andre). When Ampere finished in his father’s library he had his father take him to the library in Lyon. While there he studied calculus. A couple of weeks later he was able to do difficult treaties on applied mathematics (Levy, Pg. 135). Later in life he said “the new as much about mathematics when he was 18, than he knew in his entire life. His reading...
Etienne Pascal was very concerned about his son becoming an educated man. This is why he decided to teach his son on his own. He brought a young Blaise to lectures and other gatherings. He decided Blaise would not study math until age 15. When he made this decision he took all the math books out of the family home; however, this did not stop a curious Pascal. At age twelve, he started to work on geometry by himself. Blaise’s father finally started to take him to mathematical gatherings at "Academic Parisienne." At the age of 16, Pascal began to play an active role in "Academic Parisienne," as the principal disciple of Girard Desargues, one of the heads of "Academic Par...
Joseph as an individual started as a lost, depressed individual with no insight on what is happening in his life which leads to constant flashbacks to his father. The loss of Joseph 's father pointed out the feeling of how many children across this world might feel especially in places where conflict and war are still existent. This story did have a little bit of the plot focused on racism but the idea of being new and unique dominated the
...I Bernoulli, son of Johann III, studied law and mathematics. With his true interests in mathematics, Jacob III worked with geometry and mathematical physics.
Carl Friedrich Gauss was born April 30, 1777 in Brunswick, Germany to a stern father and a loving mother. At a young age, his mother sensed how intelligent her son was and insisted on sending him to school to develop even though his dad displayed much resistance to the idea. The first test of Gauss’ brilliance was at age ten in his arithmetic class when the teacher asked the students to find the sum of all whole numbers 1 to 100. In his mind, Gauss was able to connect that 1+100=101, 2+99=101, and so on, deducing that all 50 pairs of numbers would equal 101. By this logic all Gauss had to do was multiply 50 by 101 and get his answer of 5,050. Gauss was bound to the mathematics field when at the age of 14, Gauss met the Duke of Brunswick. The duke was so astounded by Gauss’ photographic memory that he financially supported him through his studies at Caroline College and other universities afterwards. A major feat that Gauss had while he was enrolled college helped him decide that he wanted to focus on studying mathematics as opposed to languages. Besides his life of math, Gauss also had six children, three with Johanna Osthoff and three with his first deceased wife’s best fri...
