Jean d'Alembert 's father was an artillery officer, Louis-Camus Destouches and his mother was Mme de Tencin. She had been a nun but had received a papal dispensation in 1714 which allowed her to begin [4]:- ... a brilliant social career in which political intrigues and amorous liaisons contended for first place; a timely participation in the famous John Law Scheme allowed her to pursue these activities in complete financial security. [John Law was a Scottish monetary reformer who founded a bank in Paris in 1716 with authority to issue notes. It was highly successful at first, the time when Mme de Tencin made her money, but collapsed in 1720.] D'Alembert was the illegitimate son from one of Mme de Tencin 'amorous liaisons'. His father, Louis-Camus Destouches, was out of the country at the time of d'Alembert's birth and his mother left the newly born child on the steps of the church of St Jean Le Rond. The child was quickly found and taken to a home for homeless children. He was baptised Jean Le Rond, named after the church on whose steps he had been found. When his father returned to Paris he made contact with his young son and arranged for him to be cared for by the wife of a glazier, Mme Rousseau. She would always be d'Alembert's mother in his own eyes, particularly since his real mother never recognised him as her son, and he lived in Mme Rousseau's house until he was middle-aged.

Jean Baptiste le Rond d'Alembert
Natten til 16. november 1717 fant en politimann, mens han gjorde runden sin i Paris nær kirken Saint Jean le Rond, et nyfødt barn som var blitt etterlatt til en uviss skjebne i den kalde vinteren. Politimannen fikk barnet døpt i en fart med navnet til det stedet der han først ble funnet, Jean Baptiste le Rond. Myndighetene ga barnet til en fattig glassarbeiderfamilie som oppdro ham som sin egen. De biologiske foreldrene hadde høy sosial status. Moren var Madame de Tencin, søster av en kardinal. Hun visste at sønnen var i live, men hadde ingen kontakt med ham i begynnelsen. Faren var general Destouches. Han ble tvunget til å betale for sønnens utdanning og etterlot seg også en del penger som gikk til det formålet da han døde i 1726. Jean viste tidlig enestående evner, og da hans genialitet ble kjent sendte den biologiske moren bud på ham for å forsøke å få ham tilbake.

Jean Le Rond d'Alembert
Later that same year, d'Alembert read his first paper on some errors he had found in Reyneau's standard text. In 1740, he submitted a second work on the mechanics of fluids which was praised by Clairaut. In 1741, d'Alembert was admitted to the Paris Academy of Science, on the strength of these and papers on the integral calculus. It took some determination on his part, submitting three unsuccessful applications in quick succession, before his appointment. In one sense d'Alembert's life was uneventful. He travelled little and worked at the Paris Academy of Science and the French Academy all his life. On another level his life was one of great drama as he argued with almost everyone around him. Despite this tendency, his contributions were truly outstanding. D'Alembert helped to resolve the controversy in mathematical physics over the conservation of kinetic energy by improving Newton's definition of force. He read many papers on physics, but when Clairaut began to read his own works on dynamics, a rivalry between the two began. In 1744, d'Alembert applied his results to the equilibrium and motion of fluids, and published a work which gave an alternative treatment of fluids to the one published by Daniel Bernoulli. Around the same time d'Alembert was contracted as an editor to cover mathematics and physical astronomy for an encyclopedia, but his work covered a wider field. When the first volume appeared in 1751, it contained a preface written by d'Alembert which was widely acclaimed as a work of great genius. D'Alembert worked on the encyclopedia for many years. In fact he wrote most of the mathematical articles in this 28 volume work.

Pulskamp D'Alembert's earliest writings which bear upon probability and statistics may be found in the great Encyclopedia of Diderot for which he was the scientific editor. Of his contributions to this work, the most important articles are these two: Croix ou Pile Heads or Tails ) and Gageure Wager ) which appeared in 1754 and 1757 respectively. Several other articles written by d'Alembert are Absent Avantage Bassette Carreau ... Loterie and Pari . It is worthwhile to note that the article Jeu does not concern itself with games of chance at all, but rather refers the reader to the article Jouer . This latter article is unsigned and therefore not written by d'Alembert. The article is also unsigned. It is therefore likely that both were the work of Diderot. In Croix ou Pile d'Alembert introduced his famous error that the probability that at least one head should appear in two consecutive tosses of a fair coin is 2/3 rather than 3/4. In addition, he discussed the Petersburg problem. The article

Some quotes:
Thus metaphysics and mathematics are, among all the sciences that
belong to reason, those in which imagination has the greatest role. I
beg pardon of those delicate spirits who are detractors of mathematics for saying this .... The imagination in a mathematician who creates makes no less difference than in a poet who invents.... Of all the great men of antiquity, Archimedes may be the one who most deserves to be placed beside Homer.

    Jean-le-Rond D'Alembert (1717 - 1783)
    From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Jean-le-Rond D'Alembert was born at Paris on November 16, 1717, and died there on October 29, 1783. He was the illegitimate child of the chevalier Destouches. Being abandoned by his mother on the steps of the little church of St. Jean-le-Rond, which then nestled under the great porch of Notre-Dame, he was taken to the parish commissary, who, following the usual practice in such cases, gave him the Christian name of Jean-le-Rond; I do not know by what authority he subsequently assumed the right to prefix de to his name. He was boarded out by the parish with the wife of a glazier in a small way of business who lived near the cathedral, and here he found a real home, though a humble one. His father appears to have looked after him, and paid for his going to a school where he obtained a fair mathematical education. An essay written by him in 1738 on the integral calculus, and another in 1740 on ``ducks and drakes'' or ricochets, attracted some attention, and in the same year he was elected a member of the French Academy; this was probably due to the influence of his father, It is to his credit that he absolutely refused to leave his adopted mother, with whom he continued to live until her death in 1757. It cannot be said that she sympathised with his success, for at the height of his fame she remonstrated with him for wasting his talents on such work: ``Vous ne serez jamais qu'un philosophe,'' said she, ``et qu'est-ce qu'un philosophe? c'est un fou que se tourmente pendant sa vie, pour qu'on parle de lui lorsqu'il n'y sera plus.''
