Pierre Varignon (1654–1722) was a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to mechanics and mathematics. He is best recognized for his work in the area of statics, where he developed principles that are foundational to the study of equilibrium in structures. Varignon is also credited with the formulation of Varignon's theorem, which states that the moment of a force about a point is equal to the sum of the moments of the components of the force about that same point.
