** '''Pierre-Simon, Marquis de Laplace''' (; ; 23 March 1749&nbsp;– 5 March 1827) was a French [[scholar]] and [[polymath]] whose work was important to the development of [[engineering]], [[mathematics]], [[statistics]], [[physics]], [[astronomy]], and [[philosophy]]. He summarized and extended the work of his predecessors in his five-volume [[Traité de mécanique céleste|''Mécanique céleste'']] (''Celestial Mechanics'') (1799–1825). This work translated the geometric study of [[classical mechanics]] to one based on [[calculus]], opening up a broader range of problems. In statistics, the [[Bayesian probability|Bayesian interpretation]] of probability was developed mainly by Laplace. <ref> Stigler, Stephen M. (1986). ''The History of Statistics: The Measurement of Uncertainty before 1900''. Harvard University Press, Chapter 3. </ref> Laplace formulated [[Laplace's equation]], and pioneered the [[Laplace transform]] which appears in many branches of [[mathematical physics]], a field that he took a leading role in forming. The [[Laplace operator|Laplacian differential operator]], widely used in mathematics, is also named after him. He restated and developed the [[nebular hypothesis]] of the [[origin of the Solar System]] and was one of the first scientists to suggest an idea similar to that of a [[black hole]],  with [[Stephen Hawking]] stating that "Laplace essentially predicted the existence of black holes".<ref name="HE73p364" /> Laplace is regarded as one of the greatest scientists of all time. Sometimes referred to as the ''French [[Isaac Newton|Newton]]'' or ''Newton of France'', he has been described as possessing a phenomenal natural mathematical faculty superior to that of almost all of his contemporaries.<ref name="eb1911"></ref> He was Napoleon's examiner when [[Napoleon]] graduated from the ''[[École Militaire]]'' in Paris in 1785.  Laplace became a count of the [[First French Empire|Empire]] in 1806 and was named a [[marquess|marquis]] in 1817, after the [[Bourbon Restoration in France|Bourbon Restoration]].
