Adrien-Marie Legendre is famous for laying the groundwork of many different mathematical problems in such disparate fields as statistics, number theory, and differential equations. He invented the statistical tool known as the least squares method and almost single-handedly solved elliptic functions and elliptic integrals. Additionally, he solved what is now known as the Legendre equation; an equation that arises in electrostatic theory and quantum mechanics, among other places, and whose solutions are called the Legendre polynomials.
