Marin Mersenne, Marin Mersennus or le Père Mersenne was a French polymath, whose works touched a wide variety of fields. He is best known today among mathematicians for Mersenne prime numbers, those which can be written in the form Mn = 2n − 1 for some integer n, he developed Mersenne's laws, which describe the harmonics of a vibrating string, his seminal work on music theory, Harmonie universelle, for which he is referred to as the "father of acoustics". Mersenne, an ordained priest, had many contacts in the scientific world and has been called "the center of the world of science and mathematics during the first half of the 1600s" and, because of his ability to make connections between people and ideas, "the post-box of Europe", he was a member of the Minim religious order and wrote and lectured on theology and philosophy. Mersenne was born of Jeanne Moulière, wife of Julien Mersenne, peasants who lived near Oizé, County of Maine, he was educated at the Jesuit College of La Flèche. On 17 July 1611, he joined the Minim Friars and, after studying theology and Hebrew in Paris, was ordained a priest in 1613.

Between 1614 and 1618, he taught theology and philosophy at Nevers, but he returned to Paris and settled at the convent of L'Annonciade in 1620. There he studied mathematics and music and met with other kindred spirits such as René Descartes, Étienne Pascal, Pierre Petit, Gilles de Roberval, Thomas Hobbes, Nicolas-Claude Fabri de Peiresc, he corresponded with Giovanni Doni, Jacques Alexandre Le Tenneur, Constantijn Huygens, Galileo Galilei, other scholars in Italy and the Dutch Republic. He was a staunch defender of Galileo, assisting him in translations of some of his mechanical works. For four years, Mersenne devoted himself to philosophic and theological writing, published Quaestiones celeberrimae in Genesim, it is sometimes incorrectly stated. He was educated by Jesuits, he taught philosophy at Nevers and Paris. In 1635 he set up the informal Académie Parisienne, which had nearly 140 correspondents, including astronomers and philosophers as well as mathematicians, was the precursor of the Académie des sciences established by Jean-Baptiste Colbert in 1666.

He was not afraid to cause disputes among his learned friends in order to compare their views, notable among which were disputes between Descartes and Pierre de Fermat and Jean de Beaugrand. Peter L. Bernstein, in his book Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, wrote, "The Académie des Sciences in Paris and the Royal Society in London, which were founded about twenty years after Mersenne's death, were direct descendants of Mersenne's activities."In 1635 Mersenne met with Tommaso Campanella but concluded that he could "teach nothing in the sciences... but still he has a good memory and a fertile imagination." Mersenne asked if Descartes wanted Campanella to come to Holland to meet him, but Descartes declined. He visited Italy fifteen times, in 1640, 1641 and 1645. In 1643–1644 Mersenne corresponded with the German Socinian Marcin Ruar concerning the Copernican ideas of Pierre Gassendi, finding Ruar a supporter of Gassendi's position. Among his correspondents were Descartes, Roberval, Pascal and other scientists.

He died September 1 through complications arising from a lung abscess. Quaestiones celeberrimae in Genesim was written as a commentary on the Book of Genesis and comprises uneven sections headed by verses from the first three chapters of that book. At first sight the book appears to be a collection of treatises on various miscellaneous topics; however Robert Lenoble has shown that the principle of unity in the work is a polemic against magical and divinatory arts and animistic and pantheistic philosophies. He mentions Martin Del Rio's Investigations into Magic and criticises Marsilio Ficino for claiming power for images and characters, he condemns astral magic and astrology and the anima mundi, a concept popular amongst Renaissance neo-platonists. Whilst allowing for a mystical interpretation of the Cabala, he wholeheartedly condemned its magical application angelology, he criticises Pico della Mirandola, Cornelius Agrippa, Francesco Giorgio and Robert Fludd, his main target. Fludd responded with Sophia cum moria certamen, wherein he admits his involvement with the Rosicrucians.

The anonymous Summum bonum, another critique of Mersenne, is an Rosicrucian text. The cabalist Jacques Gaffarel joined Fludd's side. L'Harmonie universelle is Mersenne's most influential work, it is one of the earliest comprehensive works on music theory, touching on a wide range of musical concepts, the mathematical relationships involved in music. The work contains the earliest formulation of what has become known as Mersenne's laws, which describe the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string; this frequency is: Inversely proportional to the length of the string Proportional to the square root of the stretching force, Inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length. The formula for the lowest frequency is f = 1 2 L F μ, where f is the frequency, L is the le
