Louis Antonie de Bougainville (1729-1811)

Louis Antoine de Bougainville was a French explorer and was the first French man to circumnavigate the globe. He is included in this list because at the age of twenty-five he published a treatise on integral calculus. His work was a supplement to Analyse des Infiniment Petits pour l'Intelligence des Lignes Courbes by De l'Hopital.
