Extractions: Coma Berenices Coma Berenices : KO-ma Be-ren-EYE-Seez Genitive : Comae Berenices, KO-me Be-ren-EYE-Seez Culmination : 9pm May 17, midnight Apr 2 Area : 386 square degrees Coma Berenices is one of the few constellations to be connected with a real person. Queen Berenice, an Egyptian Queen who lived from 246 to 221 BC. The constellation refers to a classical story concerning the hair of Berenice, the wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes of Egypt. As had been the tradition of Egyptian rulers for centuries, Berenice married Ptolemy, her brother. According to the story, shortly after their marriage her husband went off to war to fight the Assyrians. Ptolemy had waged a long war on the Assyrians since it was they who had killed his sister. While the story is an old one, the constellation is fairly new, being introduced by Tycho Brahe. The origins of the constellations position in ancient times are actually unknown. Some controversy surrounded the location, until Tycho settled the matter in 1602 by recording its present position. The ancients had the constellation overlapping with either Leos tail or Virgo.

Extractions: Slip into a Coma If you find yourself this week enjoying spring's planetary alignment in the early evening's western skies, I have a suggestion: While you're at it, slip into a coma. One of the least appreciated constellations but one of great interest to astronomers is Coma Berenices, located next to well-known Leo the Lion. About nine o'clock tonight face south and look almost directly up. You'll see something that looks like a backwards question mark. That is the head and mane of a regal Leo the Lion stalking bright Jupiter as it leads him into the horizon. A little to the east (left) of Leo's head is the rest of the lion's body which includes the very bright Denebola. Denebola marks the Lion's loin - his hindquarters. If the night is clear and moonless you'll see a dim cluster of stars almost as far up and to the left of Denebola as Leo's head is up and to the right. This is the Coma Berenices Star Cluster, which when seen through a binoculars consists of thirty to forty faint stars. But how did it get there? That depends on whose story you believe.

Extractions: THE SIGN OF THE MESSIAH How I Identified the Star of Bethlehem The enigma of the Star of Bethlehem has now been solved. Latest research reveals it was a new star that suddenly appeared at the "Throne of God" in the very womb of the ancient Babylonian constellation of the Virgin (ERUA) at 6:30 p.m. just after sunset on August 30 in 2 B.C. exactly when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. These startling results rule out the widely accepted date 4 B.C. for King Herod's death and give way to an entirely new understanding of the evolution of religions on our planet, demanding a thoroughgoing revision of Biblical cosmology as well. For centuries the Star of Bethlehem has stimulated a flood of investigations to identify this most famous celestial phenomenon in the history of mankind. From the mass of relevant literature three scholarly interpretations stand out: a comet, a conjunction of planets, and a new star. But, as we shall see1, only a new star is in full harmony with the Biblical account of the Magi as found in Matthew 2. The first in modern times who considered the star of Bethlehem to be a new star was the German astronomer Johannes KEPLER (1571-1630)2. When on October 10 in 1604 he saw a new star which had appeared in the right foot of the snakebearer (Ophiuchus) above the scorpion just 10 degrees from the spot where in the preceding year a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn had occurred, Kepler erroneously believed the new star could have been brought about by that conjunction and therefore by analogy concluded that the Star of Bethlehem might also have been a new star that appeared some time, after a triple-conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn had taken place in 7 B.C.3

The book is largely a commentary on, and expansion of, Book 5 of Euclid's Elements . Ahmed ibn Yusuf also gave methods to solve tax problems which appear in Fibonacci's Liber Abaci . He was also quoted by Bradwardine, Jordanus and Pacioli. Abu Kamil Shuja ibn Aslam ibn Muhammad ibn Shuja Born: about 850 in (possibly) Egypt. Died: about 930. Abu Kamil Shuja is sometimes known as al'Hasib and he worked on integer solutions of equations. He also gave the solution of a fourth degree equation and of a quadratic equation with irrational coefficients. Abu Kamil's work was the basis of Fibonacci's books. He lived later than al'Khwarizmi and his biggest advance was in the use of irrational coefficients. Theon of Alexandria Born: about 335 in (possibly) Alexandria, Egypt. Died: about 395. Theon was the father of Hypatia and worked in Alexandria as a professor of mathematics and astronomy. He produced commentaries on many works such as Ptolemy's Almagest and works of Euclid. Theon was a competent but unoriginal mathematician.

King Hieron II wanted a new crown and so he gave the goldsmith some gold and told him to use all the gold to make a new crown. When he got his crown back it felt light. He thought that the goldsmith had cheated him and wanted Archimedes to find out if he had been duped. Archimedes did not know how to verify the authenticity of the crown initially. One day, while taking a bath he got into the tub and some of the water went over the sides of the tub. He then thought of the crown.

Extractions: (278 B.C.E. - 212 B.C.E.) "The importance of the role played by Archimedes in the history of science can scarcely be exaggerated. He was emulated and admired in his own day and at successive periods in later times" Clagett, 1 During the time period before Archimedes, Aristotle had already effectively drawn a line between philosophy and mathematics. After his date philosophy is carried on without mathematical inspiration. There is an outbreak, known as the Golden Age of Greek mathematics, that just happens to occur in Alexandria during the period 300 to 200 B.C.E.. This period lasted only a short time however because philosophic faith in mathematics gradually disappeared. Philosophers were more inclined to use their intellect to come up with explanations based on simply theoretical assumptions and by faith ( Ginsburg, 57 ). Since philosophy had been around long before mathematics was thought up, it remained the more publicly acceptable way to answer questions. By not linking the two, "they missed a grand opportunity to blow open the secrets of the universe to science, and they bequeathed to posterity, a heavy obstacle to the progress of science as a whole" ( Ginsburg, 58

Extractions: BERENICE, or BERNICE, the Macedonian forms of the Greek Pherenice, the name of (A) five Egyptian and (B) two Jewish princesses. (A) i. BERENICE, daughter of Lagus, wife of an obscure Macedonian soldier and subsequently of Ptolemy Soter, with whose bride Eurydice she came to Egypt as a lady-in-waiting. Her son, Ptolemy Philadelphus, was recognized as heir over the m. a$ heads of Eurydice's children. So great was her ability and her influence that Pyrrhus of Epirus gave the name Berenicis to a new city. Her son Philadelphus decreed divine honours to her on her death. (See Theocritus, Idylls xv. and xvii.) 2. BERENICE, daughter of Ptolemy Philadelphus, wife of Antiochus Theos of Syria, who, according to agreement with Ptolemy (249), had divorced his wife Laodice and transferred the succession to Berenice's children. On Ptolemy's death, Antiochus repudiated Berenice and took back Laodice, who, however, at once poisoned him and murdered Berenice and her son. The prophecy in Daniel xi. 6 seq. refers to these events. 3. BERENICE, the daughter of Magas, king of Cyrene, and the wife of Ptolemy III. Euergetes. During her husband's absence on an expedition to Syria, she dedicated her hair to Venus for his safe return, and placed it in the temple of the goddess at Zephyrium. The hair having by some unknown means disappeared, Conon of Samos, the mathematician and astronomer, explained the phenomenon in courtly phrase, by saying that it had been carried to the heavens and placed among the stars. The name Coma Berenices, applied to a constellation, commemorates this incident. Callimachus celebrated the transformation in a poem, of which only a few lines remain, but there is a fine translation of it by Catullus. Soon after her husband's death (221 B.C.) she was murdered at the instigation of her son Ptolemy IV., with whom she was probably associated in the government.

[ Comments ] [ Items on The Rosetta Stone ] [ Items on Literature ] - Checklist Of Editions Of Greek And Latin Papyri, Ostraca And Tablets Last revised 20 July 2000. By: John F. Oates, William H. Willis, Roger S. Bagnall, Klaas A. Worp, Joshua D. Sosin with The primary purpose of the Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets is to provide for scholars and librarians a ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin and Coptic texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets. Texts published in periodicals as journal articles are normally excluded, since they are regularly republished in successive volumes of Sammelbuch griechischer Urkunden aus Ägypten (SB), the volumes of which are included. Many volumes containing documentary texts publish literary and subliterary texts as well, and such volumes are of course included, together with volumes of the same series that are exclusively literary. No systematic attempt to include all exclusively literary and subliterary volumes has been made. Supplementary material - Corpora, Instrumenta, Series, etc. - has been added as seemed appropriate.

Guerre que Ptolémée avait entreprise pour venger lassassinat de sa sur par les Syriens. Quand il revint victorieux en 245, Bérénice se coupa une mèche et la déposa au temple. Le lendemain, la mèche de cheveux avait disparu et Conon déclara quil avait pu la voir parmi les étoiles entre la Vierge et le Lion ! Depuis ce jour, la constellation correspondante est connue sous le nom de « Chevelure de Bérénice ». Conon fut tout au long de sa vie un ami dArchimède et ils échangèrent de nombreuses idées dans le domaine des mathématiques.
