Laplace, 1749 was born in Beaumont-Antoinette, Calva province, northwest France, and is a professor of mathematics at the Paris Military Academy. 65438-0795, Professor of Paris Institute of Technology, then Professor of Higher Normal School. From 65438 to 0799, he also served as the director of the French longitude bureau and served as the interior minister for six weeks in Napoleon's government. 18 16 was elected as an academician of the French Academy, and 18 17 was the dean. 1827 died in Paris on March 5th. In the process of studying celestial problems, Laplace created and developed many mathematical methods. Laplace transform, Laplace theorem and Laplace equation named after him are widely used in various fields of science and technology.

Laplace was Napoleon's teacher, so he had an indissoluble bond with Napoleon. Laplace is a master in mathematics and a nobody in politics. He is always loyal to the rising party and is looked down upon. Napoleon once laughed at him for bringing endless spirit to the cabinet. The political changes sweeping France, including the rise and decline of Napoleon, did not significantly interrupt his work. Although he used to get his hands on politics, his prestige and ability to apply mathematics to military problems protected him. At the same time, he was praised for showing admirable have it both ways's ability in political attitude.
