Extractions: In 1854, Boole published his greatest and most influential work: "An Investigation Into the Laws of Thought, on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities." It is here where he brilliantly combined algebra with logic, which is today the foundation of our digital computers. His section on what is now referred to as 'boolean algebra' attempts to prove two propositions: "First, that the operations of the mind, by which, in the exercise of its power of imagination or conception, it combines and modifies the simple ideas of things or qualities, not less than those operations of the reason which are exercised upon truths and propositions, are subject to general laws. Secondly, that those laws are mathematical in their form, and that they are actually developed in the essential laws of human language. Wherefore the laws of the symbols of Logic are deducible from a consideration of the operations of the mind in reasoning."

Extractions: Inside the entrance of the Boole Library, at Ireland's University College in Cork, the watchful eyes of George Boole gaze down on visitors from the stern but kindly portrait that hangs in a place of honor. The name will be familiar to every computer scientist. George Boole's algebra of logic underlies the design of all modern computers. The memorial plaque on his home in Cork boldly calls him "the father of computer science." That's a claim to fame sufficient for anyone, but the story of George Boole and his family is extraordinary for other reasons. In two ways Boole's story illustrates the power of the human mind to escape the commonplace. With nothing but pluck and hard work the poor son of a shoemaker lifted himself to a professorship of higher mathematics. And in his mathematical researches, Boole freed algebra from its long servitude to arithmetic. No less an authority than Bertrand Russell credited Boole with the discovery of pure mathematics. Russell's appraisal may be an exaggeration, but no one underestimates Boole's contribution to the 20th century. His mathematics of invariants became part of the inspiration for Einstein's theory of relativity. And the "Laws of Thought," which Boole published in 1854, provides the language for digital computing.

Extractions: Mathematician Report Index Below is a list of mathematicians. You may choose from this list or report on a mathematician not listed here. In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive.

Extractions: The Sweepland Curves were created on December 19, 1998 in Silver Spring, Maryland. The team consists primarily of mathematical curves but also includes a couple of baseball-type curves just to keep things varied. Last season, their first, the Curves finished in second place, just 2 games behind the Pre-Raphaelites in the Underleague which is a pretty decent showing for a rookie team. For Season 2000 the Curves have made no changes to the roster which makes sense considering how well they did during their rookie season.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Polytope.html

Extractions: The word polytope is used to mean a number of related, but slightly different mathematica objects. A convex polytope may be defined as the convex hull of a finite set of points (which are always bounded), or as a bounded intersection of a finite set of half-spaces. Coxeter (1973, p. 118) defines polytope as the general term of the sequence " point line segment polygon polyhedron , ...," or more specifically as a finite region of n -dimensional space enclosed by a finite number of hyperplanes. The special name polychoron is sometimes given to a four-dimensional polytope. However, in algebraic topology , the underlying space of a simplicial complex is sometimes called a polytope (Munkres 1993, p. 8). The word "polytope" was introduced by Alicia Boole, the somewhat colorful daughter of logician George Boole (MacHale 1985). The part of the polytope that lies in one of the bounding hyperplanes is called a cell. A four-dimensional polytope is sometimes called a polychoron . Explicitly, a

Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathTrek January 17, 2000 I don't often encounter the words "philosophy" and "fun" right next to the term "algebra." Nowadays, these words don't seem to fit together comfortably. However, the three terms do appear in the title of an engaging little book called Philosophy and Fun of Algebra, written by Mary Everest Boole (1832-1916) and published in 1909. I discovered the book while browsing the online Cornell University Library Math Book Collection ( http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/dienst-data/cdl-math-browse.html ), which consists of 571 volumes that were scanned from originals held by the library. The collection includes a number of historically significant works, by such prominent mathematicians as Jean Bernoulli, René Descartes, G.H. Hardy, and Henri Poincaré, many in French, German, and other languages. It also has a smattering of mathematical curiosities.

Extractions: ed. by John Fauvel, Raymond Flood, and Robin Wilson History of science, or — more specifically — history of mathematics, can be approached in a variety of ways. Traditionally, the focus is on the history of the "great" themes or the "great" minds. In many ways, this emphasis on greatness makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, however, the adjective "great" is rather ill-defined and leaves a lot of room for the furthering of contemporary agendas such as patriotism or the validation of one's own discipline. More importantly, whatever "great" means exactly, the traditional approach tends to overlook the social and institutional contexts in which the great minds lived and in which the great themes took shape. More recently, the history of mathematics has been approached from a more institutional point of view as well. Several studies on the history of mathematics at German universities exist (Leipzig, Rostock, Tübingen) and the history of various mathematical societies has been studied (Circulo Matematico di Palermo, AMS, Finnish Mathematical Society). Obviously, this approach allows for more attention to societal and cultural context, but it does have its drawbacks too. Indeed, the institutional approach leaves very little room for whatever greatness might mean and the inevitable attention to minor themes and minor minds (whatever "minor" means exactly) could obscure the view on the bigger picture. The book under review here is another example of the recent crop of studies into the history of mathematics from an institutional point of view and exemplifies both the strengths and the weaknesses of its genre.

Extractions: Grace Chisholm Young (18681944) This book includes essays on 43 women mathematicians, each essay consisting of a biographical sketch, a review/assessment of her work, and a bibliography which usually lists most of her mathematical works, a few works about her, and occasionally a few other references. The essays are arranged alphabetically by the women's best-known professional names. A better arrangement would have been by the periods within which the women worked; an approximation to that can be achieved by using the list in Appendix A of the included women ordered by birthdate. With its many appendices and its two good indexes, the bibliographic structure of this book is excellent. This together with its reviews of the work of many less-known women mathematicians makes it a valuable contribution to the history of mathematics.

Extractions: La pedofilia es asunto complicado, los que saben dicen que es una mezcla de Peter Pan con un amor desmedido por los más débiles. Es posiblemente, la más compleja de entender de todas las perversiones por las que atraviesa los seres humanos. Principalmente porque a todos nosotros, el mundo de los niños nos parece demasiado mágico y por tanto intocable. La maldad es asunto de los adultos y no del extraño mundo que esconden los niños y que entre ellos se entienden, y nada más que ellos. Recuerden ese lírico inicio de El Principito, un libro que solamente puede entender los niños y nada más que ellos. Solamente adultos que no hayan tomado el sentido de la maldad, y que amen demasiado a los niños pueden imaginarse boas constrictoras comiendo serpientes, donde el sentido común ( ojo : común me refiero con un criterio estadístico y no valórico) ve solamente sombreros. Es díficil encontrar en la literatura asuntos de pedofilia, no porque no existan, ese deseo oculto de entrar con ropas de adulto al mundo mágico ha afiebrado a numerosos escritores, y también los ha aislado socialmente. Solamente aquellos que nos han engañado, haciendonos creer que están sin ropas, y por tanto son niños, han logrado nuestro reconocimiento, y de todos ellos, el maestro de ese engaño es sin duda Lewis Carrol.
