Mary Fairfax Somerville Mathematician, born in Jedburgh and raised in Burntisland, Scotland. She was the daughter of Margaret Charters and vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax. Somerville first married naval officer Samuel Greig in 1804. In Somerville's words her first husband, "had a very low opinion of the capacity of my sex, and had neither knowledge of, nor interest in, science of any kind" (Martha Somerville, Personal Recollections from Early life to Old Age of Mary Somerville , London, 1873). She married William Somerville in 1812 after the death of her first husband in 1807. William, an inspector of hospitals, was supportive of her interest in science and played a leading role as her assistant. William and Mary lived in Edinburgh where she studied mathematics, botany, geology, French and Greek. Mary's circle of friends in Edinburgh included William Wallace (1768-1843), John Playfair (1748-1819), John Leslie (1766-1832), and Sir David Brewster (1781-1868). During this period Somerville read Newton 's Principia and Laplace's Mécanique céleste Mechanism of the Heavens (1831) established Somerville's reputation as a brilliant scientific author.

Somerville, Mary (born Fairfax) Mary Fairfax Somerville was born on December 26, 1780 in Jedburgh Scotland, the daughter of Margaret Charters and Lieutenant William George Fairfax, a vice admiral in the British Navy (Osen 96). With her father frequently out at sea for long periods of time and her mother exerting few restraints on her other than insisting that she learn to read the Bible and say her prayers, Mary was, in her own words, "allowed to grow up a wild creature" (Perl 84). Despite the family's fortunate economic standing, Mary's education was, as was characteristic of much of the education of young girls of her time, quite "scant and haphazard" (Osen 97). She found her only year of full-time schooling, during which she attended a boarding school for girls in Musselburgh, rather miserable and unhappy (Osen 97). Mary studied her first simple arithmetic at the age of thirteen, when her mother took a small flat for the winter months in Edinburgh and she was enrolled briefly in a writing school there. Also at about this time, she, quite by accident, began her study of algebra, as she happened upon some mysterious symbols in the puzzles of a women's fashion magazine and was able to persuade her brother's tutor to purchase some elementary literature on the subject for her (Perl 87). In 1804, at the age of twenty four, Mary married her cousin, Captain Samuel Greig. Greig was a member of the Russian Navy and had little interest in the math and science that his wife so dearly loved. Although he held intellectual women in rather low esteem, he interfered little with her work. The couple had two sons, Woronzow (1805-1865) and William George (1806-1814), but Samuel did not live to see much of the lives of his children, for he died in 1807 after only three years of marriage (Grinstein and Campbell 209).

Born December 26,1780 in Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland Died Nov 29,1872 in Naples, Italy E arly Y ears O n December 26, 1780, Mary Fairfax Greig Somerville was born in Jedburgh Scotland. Her father, Lieutenant William George Fairfax, was a vice admiral in the British Navy and was often at sea for extended periods of time. Her mother, Margaret Charters, only made sure that "she learn to read the Bible and say her prayers" (Wood). Therefore, Mary was left to herself much as a child (Wood). Mary's education, like most females of her time, "was quite 'scant and haphazard'" (Wood). In fact, she was only allowed to bew a full-time student for one year in at a boarding school for girls. At the age of thirteen, her mother took her to Edinburgh and enrolled her in school for the winter. Here she learned arithmatic for the first time. During this stay in Edinburgh, she found some symbols which caught her interest in a fashion magazine. She finally convinced her brother's tutor to buy her some books which would explain to her the symbols which intrigued her so. This was Mary Somerville's first experience with algebra. M arried L ife M ary was wedded in 1804 to her cousin a captain in the Russian Navy. She was twenty-four at the time. Although her husband, Captain Samuel Greig did not think very highly of intellectual womenhe did not prevent her from continuing her work. After giving her two sons and three years of marriage, Captain Greig died.

No. 828: SOMERVILLE AND MARCET by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 828. Today, we talk about secret female science in 19th-century England. 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. I n 1816 Mary Fairfax Somerville and her husband moved from Scotland to London. She was a brilliant woman a student of science and mathematics. Now her first order of business in London was to meet the noted technical writer Jane Marcet Marcet was 47 and well established. She'd written on chemistry, economics, biology, and much more. The two became close friends. Marcet was well connected. She opened doors into London's intellectual life. She also opened European connections. Somerville struck up lasting friendships with the likes of Biot, Gay-Lussac, and Arago as each passed through London. Even more interesting was the feminine underground around her. I do not call it feminIST. It was not. For example, Marcet didn't even sign her female name to her books. She never made any claim of intellectual equality with the thousands of men trained by her books ostensibly written for young ladies.

Mary Somerville - An Appreciation by Helen Mabon The plaque on the building at 30-31 Somerville Square*, Burntisland, states: [*formerly 26-28 Somerville Street] "Mrs Mary Somerville 1780-1872 daughter of Vice Admiral Sir William Fairfax resided here Well known Mathematician and Astronomer" Such a modest tribute to so great a woman. Although born in Jedburgh on 26 December 1780, Mary lived as a child and a young woman in Quality Street between the Kirk and High Street. Quality Street was a name frequently bestowed on streets housing a community's hierarchy. She was to be at the forefront of knowledge on philosophy, mathematics and astronomy. This at a time when education for women was discouraged. Mary's father had a notable naval career, but was at sea for long periods. Her mother, Margaret Charters, allowed Mary a very free upbringing, only ensuring her daughter read her bible and said her prayers. She allowed Mary to roam unfettered outdoors; the beach and Lammerlaws would be as familiar to her as you and me. During a winter spell in Edinburgh when she was thirteen Mary first studied simple arithmetic. At this time she accidentally came across intriguing symbols. Algebra. With the help of books from her brother's tutor she was captivated and read all she could to advance her knowledge.

Her father, Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax, did not approve of education for girls. Apart from one year at a fashionable boarding school at Musselburgh, Mary was self-taught. She studied animals and flowers; read French; perfected her Latin, in order to read Newton's Principia , and worked through an algebra handbook and Euclid's Elements of Geometry Mary married a cousin, Captain Samuel Greig, in 1804 but, after bearing him two sons, she was widowed in 1807. In 1812 she married another cousin, Dr William Somerville, who was supportive of her passion for science. The couple had four children together, and lived in Edinburgh before moving to London in 1816. Mary mixed with eminent figures, including George Airy, John and William HERSCHEL, Charles LYELL and William WHEWELL, and she numbered among her foreign acquaintances and correspondents Dominique Arago, Joseph Gay-Lussac, Alexander von Humboldt and Pierre Simon, Marquis de Laplace. In 1826 Somerville gave a paper on 'The Magnetic Properties of the Violet Rays of the Solar Spectrum' to the Royal Society. This was favourably received at the time, although its theory was negatived by later researchers. The following year she was invited by Lord Brougham, on behalf of the Society of the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, to write a volume describing Laplace's great work
