On November 16, 2017 we will celebrate 300 years since the birth of the great French mathematician, philosopher, educator and social activist Jean Le Rond D'Alembert. In a report we will trace his life and discuss his works that have left a deep mark in many areas of human knowledge. In particular, his contribution to the theory of ordinary differential equations, the theory of differential equations in partial derivatives, research in algebra.
