Daniel Hay of Chastelet (October 23rd 1596 with Laval - April 20th 1671) is a man of the church and mathematician French.
Resulting from old the House of Hay in Brittany, brother of the writer Paul Hay of Chastelet, he is Doctor of Divinity and abbot of Chambon. Right-hand man of Richelieu and correspondent of Mersenne, it is elected member of the French Academy in 1635.
He is famous to have written much on the Mathématiques, but its nephew, the marquis of Châtelet, not knowing anything on the subject, would have thrown his manuscripts with fire. The only writing which remains of him is a Advis in Reyne on the conference of Ruel gone back to 1649, which lets suppose that it could be mixed with the Fronde and that it would have taken part in the conference of Rueil in March 1648.
