Some Contemporaries of Descartes, Fermat, Pascal and Huygens From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Bachet Mersenne Roberval Van Schooten ... Rolle Bachet was born at Bourg in 1581, and died in 1638. He wrote the , of which the first edition was issued in 1612, a second and enlarged edition was brought out in 1624; this contains an interesting collection of arithmetical tricks and questions, many of which are quoted in my Mathematical Recreations and Essays . He also wrote , which exists in manuscript; and a translation of the Arithmetic of Diophantus. Bachet was the earliest writer who discussed the solution of indeterminate equations by means of continued fractions. Mersenne Marin Mersenne , born in 1588 and died at Paris in 1648, was a Franciscan friar, who made it his business to be acquainted and correspond with the French mathematicians of that date and many of their foreign contemporaries. In 1634 he published a translation of Galileo's mechanics; in 1644 he issued his Cogita Physico-Mathematica , by which he is best known, containing an account of some experiments in physics; he also wrote a synopsis of mathematics, which was printed in 1664.

Hooke, Robert (Freshwater, isola di Wight 1635 - Londra 1703), scienziato britannico, fornì importanti contributi in diversi settori scientifici, ma è noto principalmente per le sue ricerche sull' elasticità . Conclusi gli studi presso l'università di Oxford, divenne assistente del fisico Robert Boyle , col quale collaborò alla costruzione della macchina pneumatica. Nel 1662 ottenne l'incarico di curatore degli esperimenti alla Royal Society, dove proseguì la sua attività di ricerca; tre anni dopo gli fu assegnata la cattedra di geometria al Gresham College di Oxford. Dopo il grande incendio di Londra, avvenuto nel 1666, Hooke venne nominato topografo della città e progettò diversi edifici, tra i quali la Montague House e il Bethlehem Hospital. Hooke anticipò alcune delle maggiori scoperte e invenzioni dell'epoca, ma non riuscì a portare a termine molte delle sue ricerche. Enunciò la teoria del moto planetario, che inquadrò come problema di meccanica , e intuì, anche se non sviluppò matematicamente, la teoria fondamentale sulla cui base Isaac Newton formulò la legge di gravitazione universale. Importanti contributi forniti da Hooke comprendono l'esposizione corretta della teoria dell'elasticità, secondo cui un corpo elastico si deforma in proporzione alla forza che agisce su di esso, e un'accurata analisi della natura della

Hooke, Robert (1635-1703), científico inglés, conocido por su estudio de la elasticidad. Hooke aportó también otros conocimientos en varios campos de la ciencia. Nació en la isla de Wight y estudió en la Universidad de Oxford. Fue ayudante del físico británico Robert Boyle, a quien ayudó en la construcción de la bomba de aire. En 1662 fue nombrado director de experimentación en la Sociedad Real de Londres, cargo que desempeñó hasta su muerte. Fue elegido miembro de la Sociedad Real en 1663 y recibió la cátedra Gresham de geometría en la Universidad de Oxford en 1665. Después del gran incendio de Londres en 1666, fue designado supervisor de esta ciudad, y diseñó varios edificios, como la casa Montague y el hospital Bethlehem. Hooke realizó algunos de los descubrimientos e invenciones más importantes de su tiempo, aunque en muchos casos no consiguió terminarlos. Formuló la teoría del movimiento planetario como un problema de mecánica, y comprendió, pero no desarrolló matemáticamente, la teoría fundamental con la que Isaac Newton formuló la ley de la gravitación. Entre las aportaciones más importantes de Hooke están la formulación correcta de la teoría de la elasticidad (que establece que un cuerpo elástico se estira proporcionalmente a la fuerza que actúa sobre él), conocida como ley de Hooke, y el análisis de la naturaleza de la combustión. Fue el primero en utilizar el resorte espiral para la regulación de los relojes y desarrolló mejoras en los relojes de péndulo. Hooke también fue pionero en realizar investigaciones microscópicas y publicó sus observaciones, entre las que se encuentra el descubrimiento de las células vegetales.

ROBERT HOOKE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF LIFE SCIENCES Hooke, Robert Biographies Keywords: Microscope; scientific instruments; mechanical philosophy; respiration; cell J Sutton Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia Hooke, Robert English instrument-maker, experimentalist, and natural philosopher who made key contributions in a wide range of areas including physiology, geology, and mechanics. Born on the Isle of Wight, Hooke showed early aptitude with the design of mechanical toys. At Westminster School he learnt mathematics and geometry, and at Christ Church, Oxford, he joined a remarkable group of natural philosophers working before the Restoration on physiological and physical topics (Frank 1980). Much of Hooke’s career was driven by financial uncertainty. As an employee, working firstly with Robert Boyle and then as curator of experiments at the new Royal Society from 1662 to 1677, Hooke’s status as a professional in a society of gentlemen natural philosophers was problematic. He was continually concerned to establish his credibility, and his defences of ownership of his ideas were often vitriolic.

Robert Hooke Hooke, Robert (1635-1703), englischer Wissenschaftler, der durch seine Untersuchungen über den linearen Zusammenhang zwischen Dehnung und Normalspannung in einem elastischen Körper bekannt geworden ist. Er bereicherte darüber hinaus auch viele andere Wissensgebiete. Hooke wurde auf der Isle of Wright geboren und absolvierte die Universität Oxford. Er arbeitete bei dem englischen Physiker Robert Boyle als Assistent und half ihm bei der Konstruktion einer Luftpumpe. Im Jahre 1662 wurde Hooke zum Kurator für Experimente der Royal Society ernannt; er behielt diese Stellung bis zu seinem Tod. Außerdem wurde er 1663 zum Mitglied der Royal Society gewählt und 1665 zum Professor für Geometrie am Gresham College der Universität Oxford berufen. Nach der großen Feuersbrunst in London 1666 wurde Hooke zum Architekten von London ernannt; er entwarf viele Gebäude, u. a. das Montague House und das Bethlehem Hospital Hooke ahnte einige der bedeutendsten Entdeckungen und Erfindungen seiner Zeit voraus, war aber nicht in der Lage, sie selbst zu vollenden. Hookes Verdienst besteht darin, die Theorie der Elastizität theoretisch richtig formuliert zu haben: Ein Körper dehnt sich im Verhältnis zur Kraft, die auf ihn wirkt. Außerdem analysierte er das Wesen der Verbrennung . Hooke verwendete als erster die Spiralfeder zur Regelung von Uhren und schlug Verbesserungen für Pendeluhren vor. Er war Wegbereiter der mikroskopischen Forschung und publizierte seine Ergebnisse, zu denen auch die Entdeckung der Pflanzenzellen gehört.

HOOKE, ROBERT (b. July 18, 1635, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, Eng.d. March 3, 1703, London), English physicist who discovered the law of elasticity, known as Hooke's law, and who did research in a remarkable variety of fields. In 1655 Hooke was employed by Robert Boyle to construct the Boylean air pump. Five years later, Hooke discovered his law of elasticity, which states that the stretching of a solid body ( e.g., metal, wood) is proportional to the force applied to it. The law laid the basis for studies of stress and strain and for understanding of elastic materials. He applied these studies in his designs for the balance springs of watches. In 1662 he was appointed curator of experiments to the Royal Society of London and was elected a fellow the following year. One of the first men to build a Gregorian reflecting telescope, Hooke discovered the fifth star in the Trapezium, an asterism in the constellation Orion, in 1664 and first suggested that Jupiter rotates on its axis. His detailed sketches of Mars were used in the 19th century to determine that planet's rate of rotation. In 1665 he was appointed professor of geometry in Gresham College. In Micrographia (1665; "Small Drawings") he included his studies and illustrations of the crystal structure of snowflakes, discussed the possibility of manufacturing artificial fibres by a process similar to the spinning of the silkworm, and first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in cork. His studies of microscopic fossils led him to become one of the first proponents of a theory of evolution. (see also

If ever a man lived who gave more to modern science yet - possibly through the action and ill-will of at least one of his contemporaries - has remained largely unacknowledged, it must be Robert Hooke: inventor, microscopist, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist... An unattractive man, disfigured, orphaned at 13 years of age, robbed of credit for his greatest inspirations and ideas, with many of his creations almost certainly willfully destroyed or lost after his death in 1703; only now after 300 years, is his life and extraordinary achievements beginning to receive the just recognition they so truly deserve. Most people have never heard of Robert Hooke. Those that have, probably still do not realize the magnitude of his contribution to modern science. From the publication of his Micrographia (the world's first comprehensive illustrated book on microscopy), to his work on clocks, springs, gases, his inventions, his ideas on fossils, weather, gravity, and light, through to his rebuilding of London with Christoper Wren, this extraordinary man helped to shape our world today.

When asked to produce a model of the eye for demonstration before the Royal Society, he created one containing an iris diaphragm. This may well have inspired his creation of an improved compound microscope - complete with iris diaphragm and independent light source... See a 3D image of this microscope Replica of a Hooke Microscope on show at the Science Museum - London. The illustration from which it was made is behind the microscope. Micrographia, Hooke's first published work contained details of an improved microscope which influenced microscope makers both then and years later. Hooke corresponded with several other pioneering microscopists of the day - including Anthony van Leeuwenhoek the pioneering microscopist in the Netherlands. He demonstrated to the society on the 10th November 1677 - Leeuwenhoek's discovery of 'minute worms' in pepper water. It was Hooke therefore who confirmed Anthony van Leeuwenhoek's discoveries of the existence of tiny living organisms in a variety of waters. He made a copy of Leeunwenhoek's microscope and used it to confirm other observations reported by him.

All quotations have been taken from these seven primary sources.) On the morning of the 27th March 1677/78, John Hooke, brother of the famous scientist, Robert Hooke, was found hanging in his house in Newport. He had committed suicide " by suspending himselfe ". On the 28th March 1677/78, he was " interred privately but not in Comon burying place If in 17th century Newport, as in the nation as a whole, a suicide was a noteworthy incident in itself, it is due to the rarity of such an event as well as to the terrible economic and spiritual consequences thereof. Two usual methods, mentioned in the Newport Court books, were hanging and drowning oneself in the River Medina (the latter was usually less than fatal and invariably ended in failure and a fine). But what makes this suicide significant and noteworthy is the fact that John Hooke, an unremarkable grocer living in an unremarkable market town, was the brother of the famous London-based scientist and secretary of The Royal Society, Robert Hooke.

Everyone knows the names of Newton and Wren, but Hooke was as distinguished and deserves similar recognition. That he lacks such recognition stems from a mixture of temperament and bad luck.

Robert Hooke believed the cells had served as containers for the "noble juices" or "fibrous threads" of the once-living cork tree. He thought these cells existed only in plants, since he and his scientific contemporaries had observed the structures only in plant material. Robert Hooke wrote Micrographia, the first book describing observations made through a microscope. The drawing to the top left was created by Hooke. Hooke was the first person to use the word "cell" to identify microscopic structures when he was describing cork. Hooke also wrote Hooke's Law a law of elasticity for solid bodies.

No. 183: ROBERT HOOKE by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 183. Today, a conflict rises as science changes form. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S hortly before Robert Hooke was born in 1635, Francis Bacon made his famous statement that nature can be commanded only if we obey her that we have to understand nature before we can deal with it. The point was that technology has to be served by science. Scientists followed Bacon's advice, and they began to interact with technology as they never had before. Robert Hooke was in the dead center of this movement. He was a generalist of astonishing range. He had important and lasting things to say about optics, mechanics, geography, architecture, materials science, clock-making, paleontology, and microbiology. He was a virtuoso scientist with one foot solidly planted in the technologies around him. Isaac Newton was only seven years younger than Hooke, but he shaped the science that followed Bacon. Newton worked alone and with a kind of severe, rigorous abstraction from the technologies, which he saw as worldly distractions. He tried to endow science with the purity of mathematics. Newton valued intensity and rigor far more than he valued Hooke's breadth of understanding.

The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. R obert Boyle and Robert Hooke: The two great English scientists of the mid-1600s. They lived in the same part of London. Both kept diaries. We know Boyle best for his ideal gas law and for important work on the chemical makeup of matter. Hooke was a brilliant inventor of scientific instruments. He developed the compound microscope. And Hooke's Law is the first rule of elastic behavior. Both Boyle and Hooke cast their shadow over all 20th-century science. But they were not alike. Boyle's house was a magnet to all England and Europe. His work was constantly on display. He was on display. His dinner guests were the Who's Who of 17th-century intelligentsia. Hooke merely had rooms in the college where he taught. He often dined at Boyle's table. Boyle never dined at his. The monastic Hooke entertained a few close friends. One was Christopher Wren, but most were his chess companions or his assistants.
