>Throughout the nineteenth century the French educational system struggled over the separation of Church and State. After losing control of the public education system, the Catholic Church sought to establish its own branch of education and found in Cauchy a staunch and illustrious ally. He lent his prestige and knowledge to the École Normale Écclésiastique, a school in Paris run by Jesuits, for training teachers for their colleges. He also took part in the founding of the Institut Catholique. The purpose of this institute was to counter the effects of the absence of Catholic university education in France. These activities did not make Cauchy popular with his colleagues who, on the whole, supported the Enlightenment ideals of the French Revolution.
>In any event, he inherited his father's staunch royalism and refused to take oaths to any government after Charles X.
>He was an equally staunch Catholic and a member of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. He also had links to the Society of Jesus and defended them at the Academy when it was politically unwise to do so. His zeal for his faith may have led to his caring for Charles Hermite during his illness and leading Hermite to become a faithful Catholic. It also inspired Cauchy to plead on behalf of the Irish during the Potato Famine.
>His opponents felt he intentionally provoked people by berating them over religious matters or by defending the Jesuits after they had been suppressed.
>Niels Henrik Abel called him a "bigoted Catholic"[23] and added he was "mad and there is nothing that can be done about him", but at the same time praised him as a mathematician.

Any tips for an Econ major going for a summer course (Brazilian here) on Real Analysis?

It's only one month, but I'm somewhat afraid of staying behind of my math majors colleagues.

Their calculus was shit. Cauchy and Weierstrass are the ones who made it usable.

Is he the goat mathematician?

GOAT mathematician, Gauss Fags, Euler Fags BTFO

How to improve my IQ?

Why does Cauchy never get love on /sci/?

Why can't Cauchy solve his own problems himself?

>read book about numerical analysis
>get to chapter about gaussian elimination
>find binet-cauchy theorem
>get to chapter about norms
>find cauchy-schwarz
>get to chapter about simultaneous nonlinear equations
>find cauchy sequences
>get to chapter about tridiagonalization and approximation of eigenvalues
>find cauchy's interlace theorem

This nigga died in the 1850's how the fuck is he all up in computational analysis book? He is so fucking based but never gets romanticized like euler or gauss or reimann, why so? Even google had a fucking Euler day or something a few years ago

State two theorems due to Cauchy.
