Extractions: JAN Albert of Saxony (ca. 1316-1390), Master of Arts at Paris, then Rector of the University of Vienna, and finally Bishop of Halberstadt (Germany). As a logician, he was at the forefront of the movement that expanded the analysis of language based on the properties of terms, especially their reference (in Latin: suppositio ), but also in the exploration of new fields of logic, especially the theory of consequences. As a natural philosopher, he worked in the tradition of John Buridan, and contributed to the spread of Parisian natural philosophy throughout Italy and central Europe. Albert of Saxony ( Albertus de Saxonia ), whose family name was Albert of Ricmerstop or Rickmersdorf, is sometimes called Albertucius (Little Albert), to distinguish him from the 13 th -century theologian Albert the Great. He was born at Helmstedt in present-day Germany around 1316. After initial schooling in the region of Helmstedt, and possibly a sojourn at Erfurt, he made his way to Prague and then on to Paris, where he became a master of arts in 1351. He was Rector of the University of Paris in 1353. He remained in Paris until 1362, during which time he taught arts and studied theology at the Sorbonne, apparently without obtaining any degree in the latter discipline. His logical and philosophical works were composed during this period. After two years of apparently carrying out diplomatic missions between the Pope and the Duke of Austria, he was charged with founding the University of Vienna, of which he became the first Rector in 1365. Appointed canon of Hildesheim in 1366, he was also named Bishop of Halberstadt the same year, fulfilling that office until his death, July 8, 1390.

Z Fourteenth-century philosopher; nicknamed Albertus Parvus, Albertutius, and Albertilla by the Italian Scholastics of the Renaissance. In 1351 he passed the first examination ( determinatio ) at the University of Paris, where he figured as a member of the English Nation. In the same year he was elected procurator of the English Nation; in 1353 rector of the university; in 1361, collector of dues of the English Nation; in 1358 he had been one of the representatives of this Nation in the concordat with the Picard Nation. In 1361 the English Nation suggested him for the suburban parish of Sts. Cosmas and Damian, which depended on the university. In 1368 he still belonged to the faculty of arts at the University of Paris, where he compiled his questions on Aristotle's Pope Urban V Aristotle's God gave them when He created them. With Buridan he saw in the increase of impetus the reason of the acceleration in the fall of a heavy body. He further taught that the velocity of a falling weight increased in proportion either to the space traversed from the beginning of the fall or to the time elapsed, but he did not decide between these two.

Extractions: AUG Marsilius of Inghen, master at the Universities of Paris (1362-1378) and Heidelberg (1386-1396), wrote a number of treatises on logic and natural philosophy popular at many late medieval and early modern universities. He adopted the logico-semantic approach of William of Ockham and John Buridan while at the same time defending the traditional views of Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure. His thinking sheds light on the discussion between nominalists and realists and allows insight into the changing interests of philosophy and theology, from the critical attitude of many fourteenth-century authors to the search for tradition which was characteristic of the fifteenth century. Marsilius of Inghen was born around 1340 in Nijmegen, a city in the eastern part of the Low Countries (Netherlands). In the older literature it is often said that he came from one of the villages in the vicinity of Nijmegen (Inghen), but this view is mistaken. It was based on a confused reading of the Oratio Funebris nuncio together with Conrad of Soltau, he was responsible for transferring the University register to Rome (Boniface IX). At the beginning of the 1390s, Marsilius again took up the study of theology. The masters who taught theology were by then Conrad of Soltau (since 1387) and Matthew of Krakow (since 1394), both from the University of Prague. In 1395/1396 Marsilius finished his lectures on the

Albert became rector of the University of Vienna in 1365 and Bishop of Halberstadt from 1366 until his death. Albert was mainly a transmitter of good mathematical ideas but he did contribute his own work to these. He wrote about the ideas of Bradwardine Ockham Oresme and others. His books on logic are his best where he examined 254 logical paradoxes while his work on projectiles is, as such work was at that time, incorrect. Albert believed that a projectile fired horizontally will travel horizontally for a certain distance, then follow a curved path for a while, then fall vertically.

Set Theory MacTutor History of Mathematics topic.Category Science Math Logic and Foundations Set Theory For example albert of saxony, in Questiones subtilissime in libros de celo et mundi,proves that a beam of infinite length has the same volume as 3space. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Beginnings_of_set_theory.htm
Extractions: The history of set theory is rather different from the history of most other areas of mathematics. For most areas a long process can usually be traced in which ideas evolve until an ultimate flash of inspiration, often by a number of mathematicians almost simultaneously, produces a discovery of major importance. Set theory however is rather different. It is the creation of one person, Georg Cantor . Before we take up the main story of Cantor 's development of the theory, we first examine some early contributions. The idea of infinity had been the subject of deep thought from the time of the Greeks. Zeno of Elea , in around 450 BC, with his problems on the infinite, made an early major contribution. By the Middle Ages discussion of the infinite had led to comparison of infinite sets. For example Albert of Saxony, in Questiones subtilissime in libros de celo et mundi, proves that a beam of infinite length has the same volume as 3-space. He proves this by sawing the beam into imaginary pieces which he then assembles into successive concentric shells which fill space. Bolzano was a philosopher and mathematician of great depth of thought. In 1847 he considered sets with the following definition

Extractions: Albert of Saxony (ca. 13161390) Albert's family, called Ricmestorp, were wealthy land owners. Albert attended the University of Paris and achieved renown as a teacher on the faculty of arts at the University. Alberts writing, which was composed during the years when he was teaching at Paris, consisted mostly of books of issues and questions on Aristotle s treatises and on some of his own thinking on logic and other mathematical subjects. He wrote on squaring the circle and other geometric problems. He also published books on physics and mechanics, Tractatus proportionum being the most popular and famous. At Paris, he met and worked with fellow mathematician Oresme Albert worked on church-related affairs for Pope Urban V, eventually being appointed a bishop, which ended his career as a mathematician.

Extractions: ALBERT EDWARD NtANZAALBERTINELLI them, and Fort La Jonquiere was established near the present city of Calgary (1752). The North-West Company of Montreal occupied the northern part of Alberta district before the Hudson's Bay Company succeeded in coming from Hudson Bay to take possession of it. The first hold of the Athabasca region was gained by Peter Pond, who, on behalf of the North-West Company of Montreal, built Fort Athabasca on river La Biche in 1778. Roderick Mackenzie, cousin of Sir Alexander Mackenzie, built Fort Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca in 1788. By way of the North Saskatchewan river Alexander Mackenzie crossed the height of land, and proceeding northward discovered the river which bears his name, and also the Arctic Sea. Afterward going westward from Lake Athabasca and through the Peace river, he reached the Pacific Ocean, being the first white man to cross the North American continent, north of Mexico. As part of the North-West Territories the district of Alberta was organized in 1875. Additional privileges and a local legislature were added from time to time. At length in igos the district of Alberta was enlarged and the present province formed by the Dominion parliament. (G. BR.)

On reaching the level plain ism. from the lake its waters become brackish, and the vegetation on its banks is scanty. The reedy marshes near its mouth form a retreat for a primitive race of fisherrnen. Lake Dweru, the shores of which are generally high, is fed by the streams from the eastern slopes of the Ruwenzori range. One of these, the Mpango, is a larger river than the Ruchuru.
