High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Nicolas Chuquet (1445, but some sources say c. 1455 – 1488, some sources say c. 1500) was a French mathematician whose great work, Triparty en la science des nombres, was unpublished in his lifetime. Most of it, however, was copied without attribution by Estienne de La Roche in his 1520 textbook, l'Arismetique. In the 1870s, scholar Aristide Marre discovered Chuquet's manuscript and published it in 1880. The manuscript contained notes in de la Roche's handwriting. Chuquet was born in Paris, France, and died in Lyon. His thinking was clearly far ahead of its time. He invented his own notation for algebraic concepts and exponentiation. He may have been the first mathematician to recognize zero and negative numbers as exponents.
