Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis
Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis (May 21, 1792- September 19, 1843),
French engineer and scientist. His interest in the dynamics of rotating machines led him to derive the
differential equations of motion from the point of view
of a coordinate system which is itself rotating, which he first
presented in 1831 to the Académie des Sciences. Due to the importance of this work, the
Coriolis effect is named for him.
He is sometimes referred to as Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis, Gustave Coriolis and variations thereof.
