About Patrick d'Arcy

Patrick d'Arcy was an Irish mathematician born at Kiltullagh House, near Kiltullagh, County Galway in the west of Ireland. His family, who were Catholics, suffered under the penal laws. In 1739, d'Arcy was sent abroad by his parents to an uncle in Paris. He was tutored in mathematics by Jean-Baptiste Clairaut, and became a friend of Jean-Baptiste's son, Alexis-Claude Clairaut,, who was a brilliant young mathematician.
