Colin Maclaurin

Colin Maclaurin (in gaelico scozzese: Cailean MacLabhruinn; Kilmodan, 1º febbraio 1698 – Edimburgo, 14 giugno 1746) è stato un matematico scozzese. Sicuramente uno dei più brillanti matematici dell'epoca, diede un notevole contributo all'analisi matematica e contribuì soprattutto allo sviluppo delle "serie di funzioni". Il suo nome è legato a un caso particolare della serie di Taylor detto appunto "serie di Maclaurin". I suoi studi lo portarono ad elaborare la formula di Eulero-Maclaurin, e si occupò inoltre del calcolo dei determinanti, dell'orbita del sole, della struttura degli alveari, dell'effetto del lavoro sui corpi e del fenomeno delle maree.
