= Édouard Lucas
{wiki=Édouard_Lucas}
Édouard Lucas (1842–1891) was a French mathematician known for his work in number theory, particularly in the fields of prime numbers and combinatorial mathematics. He is perhaps best remembered for the Lucas sequence, a sequence of numbers that is similar to the Fibonacci sequence and defined by a recursive relation. Lucas also made significant contributions to the study of prime numbers, including Lucas primes and Lucas' theorem, which relates to binomial coefficients and modular arithmetic.
