Jean-Jacques de Marguerie
Jean-Jacques de Marguerie (12 April 1742, Mondeville – 6 July 1779, Grenada) was a French naval officer and mathematician.
Life
He began his studies at the collège at Caen, discovering Euclid's Elements aged around 18 and soon moving to study mathematics alone. He made such progress in this area that the geometer Alexis Fontaine, whom he met in Paris, offered to become his patron. They edited several papers for the Académie des sciences.
