People best remember work of French mathematician Adrien Marie Legendre on number theory and elliptic integrals.

Legendre made numerous contributions. People well know and named important concepts, such as the polynomials and transformation.

Other persons brought most to perfection: roots of polynomials inspired Galois theory; Niels Henrik Abel built on elliptic functions of Legendre; some of Carl Friedrich Gauss in statistics and number theory completed his. He developed the least squares method, which has broad application in linear regression, signal processing, statistics, and curve fitting; this was published in 1806 as an appendix to his book on the paths of comets. Today, the term "least squares method" is used as a direct translatio ...more

Quotes by Adrien-Marie Legendre (?)

“All the truths of mathematics are linked to each other, and all means of discovering them are equally admissible.”

“It is a matter for considerable regret that Fermat, who cultivated the theory of numbers with so much success, did not leave us with the proofs of the theorems he discovered. In truth, Messrs Euler and Lagrange, who have not disdained this kind of research, have proved most of these theorems, and have even substituted extensive theories for the isolated propositions of Fermat. But there are several proofs which have resisted their efforts.”
