Fist edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoël Duret (also known as Natalis Durret) was a prominent 17th-century French mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. He actively advanced both the theoretical and applied scientific practices of his era. He served as the official Royal Cosmographer to King Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu. : He worked as a professor of mathematics in Paris, teaching both pure theory and applied branches like cartography. Duret acted as a vital publisher and promoter for the famous mathematician François Viète. He helped popularize Viète's revolutionary system of symbolic algebra across France. : In 1635, he published \u003cem\u003eNouvelle Théorie des Planètes\u003c\/em\u003e. He followed this up in 1641 by publishing detailed astronomical ephemerides and tables. These tools provided essential calculation methods for determining celestial positioning at sea and on land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwen Jay Gingerich (1930-2023) was an American astronomer who had been professor emeritus of astronomy and of the history of science at Harvard University and a senior astronomer emeritus at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
