Sir Qjarax Paramilla de la Coso (August 17 1633 - December 8 1699) mostly known as Qjarax del'Coso was an Ajudigian mathematician, botanist and professor of Spanish and Indigenous Ajudigian decent. He was the first mathematician of Indigenous Ajudigan descent. Del'Coso was the founder of the scientific revolution around the new four seas. His formula, the binonium of Coso is a mathematical formula that expresses the power of the sum of two quantities. He also founded the University of Pjaia with the oldest campus, located within the walled city of Pjaia, within the system being named after him. In the university, Qjarax taught mathematics and botanics. Del'Coso   studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and later he studied botanics in the University of Pisa, Italy. He was also the founder of the Hortus Botanicus del'Ajudige. The biggest Hortus Botanicus lays in Pjaia and the oldest one in Coso.

Del'Coso published several books, with the most well known being Flora & Fauna del'Ajudige. He also wrote several diary's about his life that only have been published after his death.  He even worked together with Isaac Newton in England. He also founded the University of Pjaia with the oldest campus, located within the walled city of Pjaia, within the system being named after him.

Early Life

Qjarax del'Coso was born as Carraz Paramilla on August 17 1633 at Plantation Cristina, Coso. His father named Antonio Paramilla-Aguilar (1598 - 1649) was a Spanish plantation owner and aristocrat. His mother named Saora Janea Maiao (1606-1635) was an Ajudigian housemaid who had a relation with the Spanish plantation owner. Qjarax was born as a freed mestizo. The mother of Carraz passed away on April 28 1635 when Carraz was 1 year old. After the death of his mother, Qjarax was raised by the wife of Antonio Paramilla-Aguilar, Cristina Isabel Fransisca Maria Santos Dominguez (1604-1676). Carraz was raised together with 2 halfbrothers and 1 halfsister.

When Carraz was 9 years old, the Ajudigian revolution started. Slaves were starting to revolt against the Spanish authority. Carraz and his family were under attack. The Paramilla family was fleeing on a small carriage toward the east. When they eventually have reached Pjaia, the family surrendered to the Indigenous enslaved. Carraz described this moment as a traumatic event, although Carraz supported the revolution. The name of Carraz was changed to Ajudigian standards. His first name changed to Qjarax and his surname was changed to Parumjaia del'Coso. Qjarax only used the surname del'Coso instead, the reason behind this is unknown. After 2 years shelter in Pjaia, the family moved back to a small rowhouse in Coso after several reperations his father paid to the Ajudigan governance. His father later worked as a merchant.

Scola del'Coso

From the age of twelve until sixteen, Qjarax was educated at the Scola del'Coso, which taught Latin and Ancient Greek and probably learnt him a significant amount of mathematics. Ljues Fja'eu, master at the Scola del'Coso immediately noticed how curious and intelligent the 12 year old Qjarax was. Fja'eu asked mathematician Guajun Djuaz to tutor the 12 year old Qjarax. With tutoring lessons he acquired the interest for mathematics. Even though Qjarax had the best grades in school, Qjarax was rather interested in drawing everyday objects like different plants. Because of this, Qjarax acqured the interest for botanics. When Qjarax was 16 years old, his father Antonio Paramilla-Aguilar passed away on October 31 1649 in Coso because of tubercolosis. After his death, Qjarax lived with his uncle, Mjanuelo Paramilla-Aguillar in the walled city of Pjaia. He was a wealthy fruit and spice merchant. Qjarax was taught in the Cacedrale Scola del'Pjaia. Qjarax has wrote that he was well noticed in this new school and that this school brought him more oppertunities.

University of Cambridge

After his tutor recommended Trinity College in Cambridge, his uncle sent him through connections on a Dutch ship from Ajuruba to Amsterdam which took Qjarax 2 months. From Amsterdam, Qjarax moved to Cambridge. Qjarax got was admitted in November 1652 as a sizar—a sort of work-study role.

Death

Del'Coso died in his sleep in his residence in Pjaia on December 8 1699. His funeral in Pjaia was a well attended and traditional Ajudigian funeral. He was cremated and his urn was placed at the Cacedrale del'Aquarius. After his death, his name who no one had, began to become a very popular name in Ajudige. Nowadays it is a fairly popular name with 192 bearers. The University of Pjaia which Del'Coso founded in 1667 as a small university was named after him.

His library and collections were left to his widow Ba'aea and their 2 children. In 1701 his widow died and his son Guajun inherited the collection. After multiple offers to buy the collection, Guajun refused. After his death in 1738, the collections were passed down to his son, Njeuea. Njeuea had sold the collection to Bernard Langlois, a 32-year-old Ajudigian-Cascadian botantist in the Qjarax del'Coso University. All his books, diary's, formula's, plants, drawings, letters and more were later stored in both the University of Pjaia and the National Archives of Ajudige.
