Louis François Antoine Arbogast (4 October 1759 – 8 April 1803) was a French mathematician.
He was born at Mutzig in Alsace and died at Strasbourg, where he was professor.
He wrote on series and the derivatives known by his name: he was the first writer to separate the symbols of operation from those of quantity, introducing systematically the operator notation DF for the derivative of the function F.
In 1800, he published a calculus treatise where the first known statement of what is currently known as Faà di Bruno's formula appears, 55 years before the first published paper of Francesco Faà di Bruno on that topic.
