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 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 Coso integral rule is a mathematical rule for differentiation under the integral sign. 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 Leiden, Netherlands. He was also the founder of the Hortus Botanicus del'Pjaia.
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 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 a freed mestizo and was baptized two days later at the Cathedral of Coso. 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 Francisca Maria Santos Dominguez (1604-1676). Carraz grew up alongside two half-brothers and one half-sister.
When Carraz was 9 years old, the Ajudigian revolution started. Enslaved people revolted against Spanish authority, and the Paramilla family came under attack. They fled eastward in a small carriage. Upon reaching 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 arranged for mathematician Guajun Djuaz to tutor him privately, sparking his interest in mathematics. Although Qjarax achieved 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 went to live with his uncle, Mjanuelo Paramilla-Aguilar, a wealthy merchant in the walled city of Pjaia. There, Qjarax attended the Scola del'Reiuneu, which he later wrote had provided him with greater opportunities.
University of Cambridge
Following his tutor’s recommendation, Qjarax applied to Trinity College, Cambridge. His uncle arranged his passage on a Dutch ship from Ajuruba to Amsterdam, a journey that took two months. From there, Qjarax traveled to Cambridge, where he was admitted in November 1652. At Cambridge, Del'Coso started as a subsizar, paying his way by performing valet duties until he was awarded a scholarship in 1657, which covered his university costs for four more years until the completion of his MA. Del'Coso wrote his theoretical questions in his notebook. In 1655 he discovered the Coso integral rule, the formula for differentiation under the integral sign. In 1656 he discovered Coso's method, a root-finding algorithm. Soon after Del'Coso obtained his BA degree at Cambridge in December 1656. His academic work impressed the master of Trinity College, Isaac Barrow. In 1657, del'Coso co-developed the Method of Del'Coso–Willughby with Francis Willughby, with whom he shared interests in biology and mathematics. In 1658, Qjarax obtained his Master of Arts at Cambridge in December 1659.
University of Leiden
After Qjarax had obtained his Master of Arts, he was planning on moving back to Ajudige. After staying in Leiden, Qjarax was shown the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden. After being fascinated by this garden, Qjarax decided to study at the University of Leiden in 1661. Qjarax studied botanics and medicine. In Leiden, Qjarax wrote Characteres generum plantarum about several plants in the Netherlands and expeditions in other European countries like Belgium, France and Germany. He also studied medicineAfter 3 years of studying, Qjarax recieved his medical degree in 1664.
Mid-life
Return to Ajudige
After 12 years of studying in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, Qjarax returned to Ajudige in 1664. Here, he returned to his birthplace, Coso, where he became engaged to Ba’aea Mjarea Bjalame. In Coso, Qjarax started working as a physician to support his family. On 30 December 1665, Qjarax married his fiancée, Ba’aea Mjarea Bjalame, in Coso. Nine months later, Ba’aea gave birth to their daughter, Beuma. Two years later, their son, Guajun, was born. During this time, Qjarax wrote the book Medicamenta ex Plantis, in which he described how plants and medicine relate. In 1669, the family moved to Pjaia, where Qjarax worked as a mathematician and botanist.
University of Pjaia
Del'Coso had sent a formal request to the Reiuneu del'Ajudige for approval to found a university that could educate the citizens of Ajudige. The University of Pjaia was eventually founded in 1671 by Qjarax del'Coso. The foundation of the university took place in the presence of several Ajudigian and Cascadian scholars, such as Baianao Pria, Pa'eu del'Diudi, George Wilkinson, Gulliame Moreau, Cjarleu Baqena'a, and Ljues Mjoreno. Being a small university, Qjarax served as both chancellor and professor of botany. Veleum Sanders was appointed chancellor of the university in 1672, reducing Qjarax’s responsibilities. In the same year, Qjarax founded the Hortus Botanicus del'Pjaia, a botanical garden featuring plants native to both the San Luis Sea region and those from Western Europe and Eastern Asia. While Qjarax mostly focused on botany, he also became a professor of mathematics in 1674.

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.
