	Pierre-Simon marquis de Laplace was born on March 23,1749 in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy, France. His father, Pierre Laplace, was well off in the cider trade and a small farmer. His mother, Marie-Anne Sochon, was from a prosperous farming family. While relatively well off, little education was apparent in the family, only Pierre-Simon’s uncle received an education. There is little known about Pierre-Simon’s early life. From a young age, Pierre-Simon attended a military academy, where he showed early promise with mathematical abilities. When he was sixteen, Pierre-Simon attended the University of Caen. His father always wanted him to make a career in the church, so he originally enrolled to study theology, before he realized his passion. Pierre-Simon did not stay at the University of Caen very long, only about two years, before he decided to leave without a degree. Receiving a letter of degree from his teachers for established mathematician Jean d’Alembret, Laplace made his way from the University in Caen to Paris.
