Specifically these are the associated Legendre polynomials of the first kind and are usually written as fimctions of cosO rather than 6. They are named after Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752-1833), who discovered them as a general family of solutions to differential equations in spherical coordinates while he was working on a mathematical description of the motions of stars. His colleague, Simon-Pierre Laplace (1749-1827), then drew on the Legendre polynomials to formulate the three-dimensional spherical harmonics. 

Pierre Simon Laplace, the most influential of the French mathematician-scientists of his time, made many important contributions to celestial mechanics, the theory of heat, the mathematical theoiyi of probability, and other branches of pure and applied mathematics. lie was born into a Normandy family...

The research for which Gay-Lussac is perhaps most famous involves the experiments with gases he completed early in his scientific career. Upon graduation from the Ecole in 1800, he remained Berthollet s assistant and a frequent guest at his country house at Arcueil, near Paris. With the encouragement of Berthollet, mathematician Pierre-Simon de Laplace, and others, Gay-Lussac began his own research in the winter of 1801 and 1802.
