Extractions: Shakespeare: Hamlet Astronomy is the oldest science. Observing the stars and planets has always been important e.g. for time determination or for calendar making. We find great interest in astronomical questions in ancient cultures as well as in more recent centuries. history of astronomy one could present the topics in an even more interesting and motivating way for a broader range of pupils. I think this should start in the beginning years of the 'Gymnasium'. Furthermore, with interdisciplinary teaching one could combine science with cultural history. Here I give a concrete example of a subject which lends itself to such an interdisciplinary approach - sundials. After an introduction dealing with antiquity and the Middle Ages, I shall present three sundial examples drawn essentially from the Early Modern period (roughly 15th-17th centuries). I think it is useful to supplement book-learning with practical work - i.e. making such instruments and learning to use them. This can be rounded out by a visit to a museum to see original instruments or by a walk through town to find sundials.

Extractions: A few months ago I decided to begin working on a new design based on my spiral tampers . It took some trial and error and the tampers you see below are the result of those experiments . The shape evolves as my technique moves towards the end product of what I had in mind . The whole process was a learning experience , hence the name of the experiment Mathematikos , Greek for "disposed to learn" . Another reason for the name is based on the design itself which is in part inspired by two of histories greatest mathematicians , Archimedes of Syracuse and Apollonius of Perga . The Spiral design is based loosely on the Archimedian Screw , having four flutes which complete one rotation around the cylinder. My dilemma came when I found that I did not like the flat joint of brass and acrylic, wanting instead a movement of brass into acrylic. Once again I looked to the mathematicians for inspiration and found the works on Conic Sections by Apollonius of Perga . 'Conics' deals with the shapes one acquires when slicing a cone . This work would later be used by Kepler in determining the eliptical orbits of the planets . By cutting a precise cone into the brass base and matching it with a mirror image cone on the acrylic inserted into it I am now able to produce a brass base that flows with the spiral design , as shown in the picture above .

http://boingboing.net/2002_09_01_archive.html

Extractions: The Antikythera mechanism, recovered off a sunken ship in Greece in 1900, is thought to be a clockwork device to calculate the orbits of the celestial bodies. New analysis of the remaining fragments shows that it was wicked-cool: The Greeks believed in an earth-centric universe and accounted for celestial bodies' motions using elaborate models based on epicycles, in which each body describes a circle (the epicycle) around a point that itself moves in a circle around the earth. Mr Wright found evidence that the Antikythera mechanism would have been able to reproduce the motions of the sun and moon accurately, using an epicyclic model devised by Hipparchus, and of the planets Mercury and Venus, using an epicyclic model derived by Apollonius of Perga. (These models, which predate the mechanism, were subsequently incorporated into the work of Claudius Ptolemy in the second century AD.) A device that just modelled the motions of the sun, moon, Mercury and Venus does not make much sense. But if an upper layer of mechanism had been built, and lost, these extra gears could have modelled the motions of the three other planets known at the timeMars, Jupiter and Saturn. In other words, the device may have been able to predict the positions of the known celestial bodies for any given date with a respectable degree of accuracy, using bronze pointers on a circular dial with the constellations of the zodiac running round its edge.

Extractions: Sir Winston Churchill Go immediately to Contents Eu)klei/dou Stoixei~a , Euclid's Elements, the classical textbook in geometry, is easy to read in the original ancient Greek, but its grammar and vocabulary are not those familiar from the usual course in elementary Greek, with peculiarities that make it difficult for the beginner. The text of the Elements that we have is written in the literary koinh/ typical of the 1st century AD. This course concentrates on exactly what is necessary to read Euclid, both in vocabulary and grammar. Its sole aim is to teach how to read this work, and similar texts in Greek mathematics, and not to compose Greek sentences, nor to read the Iliad or Plato. All necessary information is included in the course. A great amount of scholarship has been devoted to Euclid, mainly in Latin or German, and this course may expose some of it to a larger audience, to whom it has been largely inaccessible. For authoritative details, reference must be made to these sources, since the present one claims no expertise. There are many websites with information on Euclid and geometry. For example, look at the link to Euclid in the Seven Wonders website that is referenced in the Classics Index page, under the heading Pharos of Alexandria. As is typical of education on the Internet, many sites are poor, repetitive or childish, however.

Extractions: HERMANNUS DALMATA Herman Dalmatin ( Hermannus Dalmata, Sclavus, Secundus, De Carinthia) natural philosopher and translator from the Arabic language (about 1110 - after 1143) is the earliest Croatian scientist and philosopher, and one of the greatest. He was born in central Istria, and studied at the Cathedral School at Chartres and in Paris (1130-1135). After completing his studies he travelled to the Middle East with his friend Robert from Ketton, where both were seriously involved in the study of Arabic science and philosophy. In 1138 we find them in a place along the river Ebro in Spain working on translations. At that time Herman was mostly translating works of astrology. In 1138 he translated the astrological treatise Fatidica , the sixth part of a work in astronomy by a scientist of Jewish origin Sahl ibn Bishr; in 1140 he translated Introductorium in astronomiam by Abu Ma'shar contributing thereby to the spreading of Aristotelian philosophy in western Europe. At the same time Herman wrote the astrological works Liber imbrium and De indagatione cordis , compilations from Indian and Arabic texts. Petrus Venerabilis, the Abbot of Cluny met Herman and Robert in Spain in 1142 and encouraged them to translate the Koran. In Leone Herman finished some shorter texts about Islam

Extractions: Accueil Histoire des mathématiques Philosophie des sciences Axiomatiques ... Informations - Contacts APOLLONIUS De Perga grec, Perge -262 / Alexandrie -180 env. On doit à ce mathématicien et astronome grec un traité complet et de très beaux résultats sur les sections coniques (intersection d'un plan et d'un cône) lors de travaux probablement liés à la recherche d'une courbe auxiliaire dans la résolution du problème de la duplication du cube, déjà étudié par Mé n echme. Les coniques en tant que courbes algébriques - l'appellation est de Leibniz - ne furent introduites qu'au XVII ème s. avec Wallis et Descartes. Apollonius vient étudier à Alexandrie sous la direction du successeur d'E u clide. Il complète ses connaissances à Pergame, attiré par la nouvelle université et la bibliothèque de renommée mondiale. Il retourne vivre à Alexandrie qu'il ne quitte plus. Son traité monumental sur les sections coniques tient en huit volumes. Les quatre premiers nous sont parvenus en grec, les trois suivants grâce à une traduction arabe et le dernier est perdu. Avant lui, on définit les coniques par l'intersection d'un cône avec un plan perpendiculaire à une génératrice, ce qui donne, suivant que l'angle du sommet est égal, inférieur ou supérieur à un droit, une parabole, une ellipse ou une hyperbole. Apollonius, le premier, obtient toutes les coniques avec un unique cône, en faisant varier la direction du plan, et, comme il considère des cônes doubles, il obtient deux branches pour les hyperboles. Il remarque une relation simple entre la projection d'un point sur un axe de symétrie et la distance à un sommet, ce qui revient à donner une équation cartésienne de la conique.
