Nicolas de Condorcet, was a French philosopher, political economist, politician, and mathematician.
From 1765 to 1774, he focused on science. In 1765, he published his first work on mathematics,
entitled Essai sur le calcul intégral, which was well received, launching his career as a mathematician.
He went on to publish more papers, and on 25 February 1769, he was elected to the Académie royale des Sciences.
In 1774, Condorcet was appointed inspector general of the Paris mint by Turgot.
From this point on, Condorcet shifted his focus from the purely mathematical to philosophy and political matters.
