Jacques Alexandre Le Tenneur worked in mathematics at a period when the field's own foundations were under discussion.
The record lists Jacques Alexandre Le Tenneur as French mathematician.
Jacques Alexandre Le Tenneur was born at Paris in 1607. His recorded nationality is France.
The seventeenth century produced the calculus and with it a dispute over priority that shaped mathematics for a century.
The recorded fields of work are mathematician.
A theorem is permanent in a way no experiment can be, which raises the standard for entry.
That the work was done from France matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Jacques Alexandre Le Tenneur died in 1656, aged 49. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
