Francisco de Borja Garção Stockler, 1st Baron of Vila da Praia, (25 September 1759, in Lisbon – 6 March 1829) was a lieutenant general and the 8th Captain General of the Azores, politician, and mathematician. He was one of the pioneers in differential calculus and one of the most notable historians of mathematics in Portugal. ==Biography== Born in Lisbon, Francisco was the son of Cristiano Stockler, a Lisbon trader, and Margarida Joséfa Rita de Orgiens Garção de Carvalho. His grandfather, who was born in Hamburg, traced his roots to the historic cities of the Hanseatic League. On 3 January 1795, Garção Stockler married D. Inês Gertrudes de Mendonça e Moura, daughter of D. João Francisco de Moura, the customs notary of Lisbon. He held several posts during his career, many coincident with the Peninsular War: he was a lieutenant general in the Army, secretary and councilor of the Overseas Council ((ポルトガル語:Conselho Ultramarino)), governor of Algarve and Governor and Captain-General of the Azores. In addition, he was a member of the committee formed to draft the constitutional charter in 1823, before becoming a professor of mathematics at the Academia Real de Marinha, a deputy of the Board of Directors of the Academia Militar do Rio de Janeiro, secretary of the Academia Real das Ciências de Lisboa and Fellow of the Royal Society of London, among other honours. Upon a royal decree on 29 September 1823, he was made Baron of Vila da Praia and captain general of the Azores. Garção Stockler died in Algarve, where he was Governor-in-Arms (military governor) at the time, having been appointed by Miguel of Portugal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francisco de Borja Garção Stockler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
