   Extractions: Benjamin Gompertz came from a family of merchants who left Holland and settled in England. He was one of three sons born in England to the Dutch family which, although from Holland, was Jewish. Gompertz was self educated, learning mathematics by reading Newton and Maclaurin . He had to take this route since he was denied admission to universities since he was Jewish. In fact he was greatly helped in his mathematical education by the Society of Mathematicians of Spitalfields which was later to become the London Mathematical Society. Gompertz, writing to De Morgan , explained how he came to be a member of the Society [5]:- As to the Mathematical Society, of which I was a member when only years of age, having been, contrary to the rules, elected under the age of . How I came to be a member of that Society - and continued so until it joined the Astronomical Society, and then was the President - was: I happened to pass a bookseller's small shop of second hand books, kept by a poor taylor, but a good mathematician, John Griffiths. I was very pleased to meet a mathematician, and I asked him if he would give me some lessons; and his reply was that I was more capable to teach him, but he belonged to a society of mathematicians, and he would introduce me. I accepted the offer, and I was elected, and had many scholars then to teach, as one of the rules was, if a member asked for information, and applied to one who could give it, he was obliged to give it, or fine one penny.

   Extractions: Väestötieteen historia 1800-luvulla tutkijat alkoivat olla yhä enemmän kiinnostuneita väestöllisten ilmiöiden tarkastelusta. Aivan kuin 1700-luvun lopulla Thomas Malthus julkaisi olettamuksensa väestönkasvun kiihtymisestä ja oletti kasvun jatkuvan geometrisesti, niin vuonna 1825 englantilainen matemaatikko Benjamin Gompertz (1779-1865) havaitsi, että samalla geometrisella kasvulla voidaan kuvata myös kuolevuutta. Todennäköisyys kuolla on korkea juuri syntymähetken jälkeen, tämän jälkeen todennäköisyys kuolla on alhainen aina noin 15:een ikävuoteen saakka, mutta alkaa siitä jälleen kasvaa. Kasvu jatkuu kiihtyvänä ja tulee kaksinkertaiseksi joka seitsemäs vuosi. Tätä tilastollista laskelmaa kutsutaan Gompertzin kuolevuuden laiksi . Tosin nykyisin tuo kaksinkertaistuminen joka seitsemäs vuosi ei enää pidä paikkaansa. Sivua muokattu viimeksi perjantaina 28.02.2003 klo 18:02
