Jacques Ozanam was a French mathematician who was a popular writer of text-books. He was born in Sainte-Olive in Bresse on 16 June 1640 and died in Paris on 3 April 1718. His widely read collections of mathematical recreations spread puzzles, geometrical problems and number games to an audience far beyond professional scholars, which makes him a bridge between the working mathematics of his time and its popular presentation.
