Gaspard-Gustave de Coriolis or Gustave Coriolis (May 21 1792–September 19 1843), mathematician,mechanical engineer and scientist born in Paris, France.
In 1816 Coriolis became a tutor at the École Polytechnique. Here he carried out experiments on friction and hydraulics. His interest in the dynamics of rotating machines led him to derive the differential equations of motion from the point of view of a coordinate system which is itself rotating, which he first presented in 1831 to the Académie des Sciences. Due to the importance of this work, the Coriolis effect is named for him.
He died at the age of 51 in Paris.
