Jean Trembley was a Genevan mathematician, born at Geneva on 13 April 1749 and dead at Le Mas-d'Agenais on 18 September 1811, who contributed to the development of differential equations, finite differences and the calculus of probabilities, and was also active in philosophy, astronomy and psychology. A nephew of the naturalist Abraham Trembley, he first studied law in Geneva and then turned to astronomy under Jacques-André Mallet, travelling in the Alps with Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, with whom he made his doctoral dissertation on the theory of generation in 1767. He spent part of his career in Berlin as a member of the Prussian Academy, publishing thirty articles in its Mémoires, and was a correspondent of the Paris Academy of Sciences from 1784.
