Gaspard Lax de Sarenina
Gaspard Lax, born in Sarenina (province of Aragon) in 1487, † on February 23rd, 1560 with Saragossa, is a theologist and Spanish mathematician.
He studied theology at the university of Saragossa then to the Sorbonne, where he became professor with the college of Calvi (1508, then 1517-1524), then with the Collège of Montaigu (1509-1516) with Juan Luís Vives for student. Gaspard Lax was considered, with John Maior, for his courses on the calculus derived from the ideas of Richard Swineshead on the movement.
The detention of François Ier in Madrid and the anti-Hispanic retaliatory measures in Paris forced Lax to return to Spain this year. He became professor then senior of the university of Saragossa.
