Joseph was born on March 21, 1768 in France. He grew up with a mom, dad and twelve brothers and sisters. Out of all of the children, he was the ninth. His dad married his first wife and they had three children. His Father then remarried because his first wife died. They had nine more kids. Out of those nine kids, he was the sixth child. Joseph’s mom died when he was only nine years old. His father died the following year.
Joseph first went to school at Pallais’s School. The monks from the cathedral were in charge of the school. It was a military school. While in school, Joseph studied Latin, French and showed great potential. Even though he showed an aptitude for literature by the age of thirteen, he knew that he wanted to be in mathematics. In 1773, Joseph completed studying the six volumes of Bézout's Cours de mathématiques when he was fourteen. In the following year, when he was fifteen, he received the first prize for his study of Bossut's Mécanique en général.
In 1787, he was studying to prepare for the priesthood. Even though he went into the priesthood, he still wanted to do something with math. While he was in the priesthood, he helped a math professor with his lessons. He was unsure if he was making the right decision about the priesthood. However, he submitted a paper on algebra to Montucla in Paris and wrote a letter to Bonard stating his desire to influence mathematics.
The next year, Joseph started tutoring at Benedictine College. His problem of picking his religious life or a mathematics life became worse. It got much worse when he went into politics and joined the local Revolutionary Committee.
Joseph did not take his religious vows of priesthood. He left the cathedral in 1789 and he visited Paris and read a pap...

...ize and distance from the sun. He thought that the only way the Earth would be this warm was because of interstellar radiation. This is the first time people have thought of the Earth’s atmosphere as an insulator.
Joseph never had a wife or any children. His health started getting worse in the year of 1830. He had experienced heart attacks when he was in Egypt and Grenoble. When he was in Paris, his breathing became more difficult. He would just have periods of time where he just stopped breathing. He fell down the stairs on May 4, 1830. A few days later, on May 16, 1830 he died in Paris. His tomb has been decorated with an Egyptian theme to show his position as secretary of Cairo. He had many mathematical accomplishments and has greatly influenced the mathematical field. Joseph Fourier is one, amongst the 72 others, to have his name inscribed on the Eiffel Tower.
Joseph Louis Barrow was born May 13, 1914. Being the son of a sharecropper, Joseph was brought up in a cotton-field near Lafayette, Alabama. Growing up as the eighth child in a small household, inevitably financial struggle is bound to happen. An example of this was that the kids had to sleep three to a bed. Joseph received little schooling and after his mom, Lillie Barrow, remarried (learning that her husband, Munroe Barrow, and Joseph’s father died in the Searcy state hospital for the Colored Insane) the family moved to Detroit, Michigan. Since moving to Detroit was the first major change in Joseph’s life, Joseph was unprepared for school. He was often mistaken for being dumb because of his social awkwardness as in being shy and quiet. In order to “change” this, his mother paid for violin lessons.
Born in Paris on Nov. 4,1577, Francois Leclerc du Tremblay was the son of a royal judge. After brief military career, he underwent a religious conversation and joined the Capuchin order, taking the name Father Joseph. His missionary zeal , political astuteness, and tireless activity enable him to rise rapidly within the Capuchin order, and Father Joseph directed its energies to converting infidels aboard and the Protestant Huguenots in France.
Joseph was ordained into the priesthood in 1951. He was considered a highly knowledgeable theologian and was appointed a professor in 1958. His writings defended the Catholic doctrine and values.
...lienated the church and nobility. Therefore, much more than half of Joseph’s empire was unemployed and confused of where to go next causing a great economic depression.
Joseph attended the Underhill School, a one-room schoolhouse, where he completed eighth grade at age 14. He left scholarly life and invested in his own chicken farm. Years later, when disease wiped out his flock, McCarthy began work as a grocery store clerk. He quickly became manager; he decided to go back to school. Joseph completed the four year curriculum at Little Wolf High School in just nine months. Accepted because of his good grades, Marquette University began his career in law. Joseph graduated as president of his class in 1935 and started his own law firm in Waupaca. Later, he joined a law firm.
In 1820, against popular belief, is when joseph’s story truly begins. As recorded in the Pearl of Great Price, God the Father and God the Son Speak appear to Joseph through a celestial vision. They Report to him that they where unhappy with the way t...
In conclusion, there are many connections to be made between the life of Joseph and Jesus. They both encountered much adversity which then in turn resulted in the redemption of many. The difference is Joseph was able to help some and Jesus was salvation for
You can read his story in Genesis, Chapters 37-50. The first note of him concerns his ability to dream and interpret dreams. Joseph was a dreamer and he had a dream. His dream took at least two forms. In one version of his dream he was a sheave of wheat and his family were also sheaves of wheat that had been gathered at harvest and were waiting to be carried in to be stored. In Joseph’s dream, all the other bundles of wheat bowed down to his. In another version of his dream he was a star. Again, his family were also stars and heavenly bodies. Again, all the other stars and heavenly bodies bowed down to his star in his dream.
“Thus in arithmetic, during the few months that he studied it, he made such progress that he frequently confounded his master by continually raising doubts and difficulties. He devoted some time to music … Yet though he studied so many different things, he never neglected design and working in relief, those being the things which appealed to his fancy more than any other.”
Joseph Smith Jr. was born on December 23, 1805 in Sharon, Vermont. His father Joseph Smith Sr. and his mother Lucy Mack Smith were poor uneducated farmers. Soon after his birth, the Smith family moved to western New York, where they continued to farm near the town of Palmyra. Joseph had five brothers and three sisters. There he spent the next four years of his life just being a kid, before moving to Manchester. (Book of Mormon: Joseph Smith History Ch.1)
No other scholar has affected more fields of learning than Blaise Pascal. Born in 1623 in Clermont, France, he was born into a family of respected mathematicians. Being the childhood prodigy that he was, he came up with a theory at the age of three that was Euclid’s book on the sum of the interior of triangles. At the age of sixteen, he was brought by his father Etienne to discuss about math with the greatest minds at the time. He spent his life working with math but also came up with a plethora of new discoveries in the physical sciences, religion, computers, and in math. He died at the ripe age of thirty nine in 1662(). Blaise Pascal has contributed to the fields of mathematics, physical science and computers in countless ways.
...I Bernoulli, son of Johann III, studied law and mathematics. With his true interests in mathematics, Jacob III worked with geometry and mathematical physics.
Joseph as an individual started as a lost, depressed individual with no insight on what is happening in his life which leads to constant flashbacks to his father. The loss of Joseph 's father pointed out the feeling of how many children across this world might feel especially in places where conflict and war are still existent. This story did have a little bit of the plot focused on racism but the idea of being new and unique dominated the
Carl Friedrich Gauss was born April 30, 1777 in Brunswick, Germany to a stern father and a loving mother. At a young age, his mother sensed how intelligent her son was and insisted on sending him to school to develop even though his dad displayed much resistance to the idea. The first test of Gauss’ brilliance was at age ten in his arithmetic class when the teacher asked the students to find the sum of all whole numbers 1 to 100. In his mind, Gauss was able to connect that 1+100=101, 2+99=101, and so on, deducing that all 50 pairs of numbers would equal 101. By this logic all Gauss had to do was multiply 50 by 101 and get his answer of 5,050. Gauss was bound to the mathematics field when at the age of 14, Gauss met the Duke of Brunswick. The duke was so astounded by Gauss’ photographic memory that he financially supported him through his studies at Caroline College and other universities afterwards. A major feat that Gauss had while he was enrolled college helped him decide that he wanted to focus on studying mathematics as opposed to languages. Besides his life of math, Gauss also had six children, three with Johanna Osthoff and three with his first deceased wife’s best fri...
The 17th Century saw Napier, Briggs and others greatly extend the power of mathematics as a calculator science with his discovery of logarithms. Cavalieri made progress towards the calculus with his infinitesimal methods and Descartes added the power of algebraic methods to geometry. Euclid, who lived around 300 BC in Alexandria, first stated his five postulates in his book The Elements that forms the base for all of his later Abu Abd-Allah ibn Musa al’Khwarizmi, was born abo...
