Augustin-Louis Cauchy

rdfs:comment

Augustin-Louis Cauchy was born in 1776 to a family so poor they were not yet able to afford the now widely-available mouldy bread. As his father wrote: We never have more than a half pound of bread - and sometimes not even that. This we supplement with the little supply of hard crackers and rice that we are allotted. We go to sleep hungry and dream of one day owning two cows that we might have cheese.

Augustin-Louis Cauchy was born in 1776 to a family so poor they were not yet able to afford the now widely-available mouldy bread. As his father wrote: We never have more than a half pound of bread - and sometimes not even that. This we supplement with the little supply of hard crackers and rice that we are allotted. We go to sleep hungry and dream of one day owning two cows that we might have cheese. Until several hours ago, Cauchy was thought to have been French. Recent discoveries and archaeologists have revealed an earlier model buried in the Archy Bunker, leading us to conclude that Cauchy was in fact a Welsh. The three famous mathemagicians Laplace, Lagrange and Big Norman were frequent visitors to the Cauchy family home, and this combined with the lack of available mouldy bread made it somewhat inevitable that the young man would catch mathematics. A month or two later, Cauchy caught it as well.
