Cauchy, Augustin-Louis, Baron

(born Aug. 21, 1789, Paris, France—died May 23, 1857, Sceaux) French mathematician, pioneer of analysis and group theory. After a career as a military engineer in Napoleon's navy, he wrote a treatise in 1813 that became the basis of the theory of complex variables. He also clarified the theory of calculus by developing the concepts of limits and continuity, laid the foundations for the mathematical theory of elasticity, and made important contributions to number theory. He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of the modern era.
