Albert Physicist was a great physicist and mathematician born run 14th Stride 1879 regulate the Monarchy of Württemberg, Germany. His early tutelage was go over the top with the ‘Catholic Elementary School’.

Louisville attorney William Marshall Bullitt began to collect rare mathematics books in 1936. Building upon a family history of book collecting and his own passion for mathematics, Bullitt set out to gather first editions by the twenty-five greatest mathematicians of all time, a goal established during a parlor game instigated by his friend, mathematician G. H. Hardy (1877-1947). Within a decade Bullitt had amassed over three hundred volumes by sixty mathematicians and astronomers including Gauss, Kepler, Galileo, and Descartes. Following his death his wife Nora gave the collection to the University of Louisville. Bullitt's files of correspondence with mathematicians and rare book dealers, notably Bernard Quaritch, joined the collection in 1980, thanks to the initiative of University of Louisville’s mathematics professor Richard M. Davitt. Bullitt's grandson, Lowry Watkins Jr. has recently established an endowment to expand the collection. Although William Marshall Bullitt enjoyed success as an expert in actuarial law and even served as solicitor general of the United States under President Taft, his avocation as a mathematician kept him active in the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematica

Early Life
Abraham De Moivre was a French mathematician born on 26th May 1667 in Champagne, France. His father’s belief in education prompted Moivre to gain a good education but we are sure that he never gained a proper degree in mathematics. However, we do know that he was sent to the ‘Protestant Academy’ in Sedan where he spent four years studying Greek. He studied logic for two years at Saumur. He also read several mathematical works such as ‘Elements de Mathematiques’ by Father Prestet, ‘De Ratiociniis in Ludo Aleae’ by Christiaan Huygens and a treatise on games of chances. His formal education started when he moved to Paris and took private lessons from Jacques Ozanam in 1684. Due to the beginning of religious persecution in France, De Moivre’s family moved to London.
Middle Years
While his stay in London, Abraham De Moivre started excelling in mathematics and soon became a proficient mathematician with knowledge of the standard texts. He started tutoring mathematics to many students at their homes and in coffee houses. He read Newton’s book ‘Principia’ and realized he had much more to learn. He soon became profound in this text by Newton so much so that even Newton himself agreed to this by saying ‘Go to Mr. De Moivre; he knows these things better than I do’.
