  4. Gradient descent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient_descent

    Gradient descent is generally attributed to Augustin-Louis Cauchy, who first suggested it in 1847. [2] Jacques Hadamard independently proposed a similar method in 1907. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Its convergence properties for non-linear optimization problems were first studied by Haskell Curry in 1944, [ 5 ] with the method becoming increasingly well-studied ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_group_theory

    The earliest study of groups as such probably goes back to the work of Lagrange in the late 18th century. However, this work was somewhat isolated, and 1846 publications of Augustin Louis Cauchy and Galois are more commonly referred to as the beginning of group theory. The theory did not develop in a vacuum, and so three important threads in ...

    Cauchy's limit theorem, named after the French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy, describes a property of converging sequences.It states that for a converging sequence the sequence of the arithmetic means of its first members converges against the same limit as the original sequence, that is () with implies (+ +) / .
