(Antoine Augustin Cournot was born at Gray, in Haute Sa ne...)
Antoine Augustin Cournot was born at Gray, in Haute Sa ne, France, on A ug. 28, 1801. He received his early schooling in his native town, and his first special discipline in mathematics at the Lyc ede Besan on. In 1821 he entered the cole Normale at Paris, where he continued his mathematical studies. He became Professor of Mathematics at Lyons in 1834, and the year following Rector of the Academy at Grenoble. In 1838 appeared his Recherches sur les principes math matiques de la th orie des richesses, of which the present work is a translation. In the same year Cournot was called to Paris as I nspecteur Gn ral des tudes. He was made Knight of the Legion of Honour in 1838, and Officer in 1845. He became Rector of the Academy at Dijon in 1854, but in 1862 retired from active teaching. From this time to the end of his life he was busily engaged in writing. His Principes math jtiatiques having met with Httle or no success, in 1863 he paraphrased it in popular language under the title Principes de la th orie des richessesf which was further amplified in 1876 as Revue sommaire des doctrines conomiques. He died in the following year, on March 31, in Paris. A mong Cournots mathematical writings may be mentioned his Trait lmentaire de la th orie des fonctions et du calcul infinit simal, 1841 ;D e Porigine et des limites de la correspondence entre Palg bre etla gom trie, 1847; and Exposition de la th orie des chances et des probabilit s, 1843. In the last-named work he showed how to apply the theory of chances to Statistics. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

COURNOT, Antoine Augustin was born in 1801 in Gray, Haute-Saône, France.
Licentiate Sciences, Paris, 1823. Doctor of Science, 1829.
Beginning as a mathematician, he applied mathematics first to economic questions and then to a general philosophy of the world. His theory of markets and prices and his ‘law of demand’ in Recherches. is so devised as to be empirically testable, and is hence a genuine contribution to econometrics. By retaining the element of uncertainty in his argument, he avoided the pitfall of seeming to give economics too great a precision by its expression in mathematical terms.
His theory of markets was revolutionary in that it began with the consideration of monopoly and moved by successive stages through duopoly and oligopoly to perfect competition.
In this, and numerous other features, his work could only be truly appreciated long after his death. Literary Adviser, Tutor, household of Marshall Street-Cyr, 1823-1833.
Professor Mathematics, University Lyons, 1834-1835. Administration, posts, Académie de Grenoble, 1835, University and Académie Dijon, 1854-1862.
