Silvestre François Lacroix (1765-1843) was a French mathematician, known for his teaching manuals that had an influence on mathematics pedagogy.

references: DSB [VII. pp549-551 : "In his teaching, particularly at the Ecole Polytechnique, Lacroix utilized his 'Traité élémentaire', which appeared in 1802. The young english school of mathematics, formed by Babbage, Peacock and Herschel, wished to breathe a new spirit into the nation's science, and one of its first acts was to translate the 'Traité élémentaire du calcul différentiel et du calcul intégral'"].
