In the Academic Career section, should it read "reconciled himself *with* Bachelier" rather than "reconciled himself *to* Bachelier"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AJR 1978 ( talk • contribs) 05:34, 24 December 2005
Could we please get a third reference for the date of his death? The page http://sjepg.univ-fcomte.fr/sjepgbis/libre/bachelier/panneaux/panneau2/panneau2.html shows him dead on the 28th April. (which is correct?)
The Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) lists Henri Poincaré as a "dissertation advisor" for Louis Bachelier. That does not mean that Poincaré was the only advisor, or even that he was the chairman of Bachelier's committee. When one submits an entry to the MGP, the form merely asks for the names of two advisors, labeled "Advisor 1" and "Advisor 2". The website of the Université de Franche-Comte, on this page, lists Paul Appell as the president of the doctoral examination jury (equivalent, perhaps, to chairman of the dissertation committee), and it lists Joseph Boussinesq and Henri Poincaré as the other two committee members. This is at least an indication that Paul Appell was Bachelier's official dissertation chairman, but not proof. I hesitate about concluding this, because it seems to me that of the three examiners Boussinesq had interests far more closely related to Bachelier's thesis topic than did either Appell or Poincaré. — Aetheling 17:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

In the introduction:
Louis Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Bachelier (March 11, 1870 – April 28, 1946)[1] was a French mathematician at the turn of the 20th century. He is credited with being the first person to model the stochastic process now called Brownian motion, which was part of his PhD thesis The Theory of Speculation, (published 1900).
His thesis, which discussed the use of Brownian motion to evaluate stock options, is historically the first paper to use advanced mathematics in the study of finance. Thus, Bachelier is considered a pioneer in the study of financial mathematics and stochastic processes.
I think it should be added something about Einstein and Smoluchowski, at least a note. In spite of the fact they have published five years later for the first and six for the latter, there is no reason to believe they have copied each other. Further, they were concerned about different things. Furthermore, as far as I know, maybe I wrong, Louis Bachelier has not modelled Brownian motion itself as did Einstein and Smoluchowski. Thus, it is wrong to credit just one; so far I have just found Einstein and Smoluchowski on the books of stochastic process, just in Wikipedia articles, such as the one about SDE I saw mentions to Louis Bachelier as one of the founders of stochastic calculus.

I tried finding the exact age that Bachelier had in the picture shown, but I couldn't find anything useful. The English version shows that he was aged 20, while the French version shows age 15 (which I think, honestly, could be correct looking at the facial features in the photo). If anyone can look into this better than me I would be happy to move aside. Thank you! Giacomo Padova ( talk) 22:30, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
