Émile Gsell
Émile Gsell (1838 - 1879) was a French photographer who worked in Southeast Asia, becoming the first commercial photographer based in Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City). He participated in at least three scientific expeditions, and the images he produced from the first, to Angkor Wat, are among the earliest photographs of that site. Though he died at an early age, he managed to make several hundred photographs in just over a dozen years featuring a wide range of subject matter including architecture, landscapes, and studio, ethnographic and genre portraits. Biography Gsell was born in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Haut-Rhin, France, on 30 December 1838. In Cochinchina, Gsell was hired by the '' Commission d'exploration du Mékong'', directed by Ernest Doudart de Lagrée (b. 1823 - d. 1868), to photograph the ruins of Angkor. Gsell accompanied the expedition to French Indochina and Siam (now Thailand, and at the time in possession of Angkor) from June to September or October 1866, often ...

René Gsell
René Gsell (1921–2000) was a French linguist and phonetician. Career Starting in 1955, when he was appointed at the University of Grenoble, Gsell undertook to develop its Institute of Phonetics into an internationally recognized laboratory. Gsell was appointed General Secretary of the Permanent Council for the Organization of International Congresses of Phonetic Sciences in 1961. He founded the journal ''Revue Langage et Comportement'', first published in 1965. In the iconoclastic fever of the May 1968 events in France, Gsell was criticized as a representative of old-style, retrograde scholarship and had to discontinue his teaching in Grenoble. He was offered positions as professor in Australia (Monash University, Clayton), Canada (Simon Fraser University, Vancouver), the Netherlands (Nijmegen University), and in Paris, at the Sorbonne Nouvelle, a position which he accepted and held until his retirement. He was succeeded by Jacqueline Vaissière. Fields of research Gsell's i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Leonhard Euler
Leonhard Euler ( , ; 15 April 170718 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician and engineer who founded the studies of graph theory and topology and made pioneering and influential discoveries in many other branches of mathematics such as analytic number theory, complex analysis, and infinitesimal calculus. He introduced much of modern mathematical terminology and notation, including the notion of a mathematical function. He is also known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy and music theory. Euler is held to be one of the greatest mathematicians in history and the greatest of the 18th century. A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all." Carl Friedrich Gauss remarked: "The study of Euler's works will remain the best school for the different fields of mathematics, and nothing else can replace it." Euler is a ...
