Siméon Denis Poisson (1781–1840) was a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to various fields, including mathematics, physics, and probability theory. He is best known for the Poisson distribution in probability theory, which describes the number of events occurring in a fixed interval of time or space under certain conditions, reflecting events that occur independently and with a known constant mean rate.
