He lends his name to a bilinear map, some of whose singularities give rise to conserved quantities known as Casimirs.
He lends his name to a bilinear map, some of whose singularities give rise to conserved quantities known as Casimirs. He gives his name to a quantity given by the first Lamé constant over 2 times the sum of the Lamé constants, and to a phenomenon he showed was predicted by Fresnel's wave theory of light. His namesake equation is an inhomogeneous generalization of Laplace's equation. A kurtosis of one over the mean and variance equal to the mean characteristize his namesake distribution. FTP, name this Frenchman whose namesake distribution gives the probability of a certain number of successes in a fixed time period for a given rate of success.
