Extractions: CONTENTS Some elements of the history of the negative numbers Use of the negative numbers in mathematics Obstacles to the understanding the negative numbers Particular problem of the rule of the signs for the product Conclusion in the form of pedagogical reflection In particular, the use of the same symbol " - " to indicate the opposite and the operator of the subtraction, the justification of the rule of the signs for the multiplication, the fact that the letter "a" for example can indicate a negative number, although there is no sign " - ", the fact that - 5 is lower than 2, (a debt of 5 euros would be smaller than a profit of two euros?)... And we touch here the fact that perhaps the concrete reference, far from being a help can become an obstacle. Thus we propose you another reflection on the negatives, historical before everything which, perhaps, will clarify the difficulties and errors of our pupils, will allow us to understand that the concepts, even seemingly simple, are the result of centuries of gropings, of which they keep the trace, even when everything seems to have become limpid. And we hope that the reflection will feed the reflection...

Nantes TABLE DES MATIÈRES I Utilisation des nombres négatifs en mathématiques II Obstacles à la compréhension des nombres négatifs II Problème particulier de la règle des signes pour le produit Conclusion en forme de réflexion pédagogique C'est ainsi que nous vous proposons une réflexion de plus sur les négatifs, historique avant tout qui, peut-être, éclairera les difficultés et les erreurs de nos élèves, permettra aussi de comprendre que les concepts, même les plus simples en apparence, sont l'aboutissement de siècles de tâtonnements, dont ils gardent la trace, y compris lorsque tout semble devenu limpide. Ces idées sont très élémentaires ; néanmoins, il n'est pas si aisé qu'il pourrait le paraître d'abord de les établir d'une manière bien lumineuse, et d'y donner cette généralité que demande leur application aux calculs. On ne peut d'ailleurs douter de la difficulté du sujet , si l'on réfléchit que les sciences exactes avaient été cultivées pendant un grand nombre de siècles, et qu'elles avaient fait de grands progrès avant qu'on eût acquis les véritables notions des quantités négatives, et qu'on eût conçu la manière générale de les employer.

Extractions: My Cousin Apple Ma Me Interest Work Photo Album ... Home Onden to Infinity There has been a direct correlation between mathematics and the advancement of a civilization. Ancient civilizations had different mathematical systems from one to another. Mathematics today is a standardized and universal field. It has become the alphabet of science and the language to explain phenomena. Mathematicians have gone great lengths to arrive at the mathematical system today, including number theory and various branches of mathematics. The ancient people counted with pebbles and fingers and used them to represent simple arithmetic. There has been evidence that the earliest people carved marks into stones to do simple arithmetic. The pebbles and fingers were used to represent or symbolize numbers. Arithmetic such as multiplication was a higher order of addition while division was a higher order of subtraction. Not all numbers could be divided evenly and thus fractions were created to help understand these numbers. The Babylonians had simple fraction operators and sexagesimal system, a base sixty math system.

It appears in 1916 in his "William Oughtred, A Great Seventeenth-Century Teacher of Mathematics. St. Andrew's cross is found in 1615, although not in a mathematical context, in Crooke, Body of Man : "[They] doe mutually intersect themselues in the manner of a Saint Andrewes crosse, or this letter X" (OED2). The term ST. PETERSBURG PARADOX was coined by d'Alembert, who received a solution by Daniel Bernoulli in 1731 and published it in Commentarii Akad. Sci. Petropolis 5, 175-192 (1738). The originator of the St. Petersburg paradox was Niklaus Bernoulli. (Jacques Dutka, "On the St. Petersburg paradox," Arch. Hist. Exact Sci. 39, No.1, 1988) SADDLE POINT is found in 1922 in A Treatise on the Theory of Bessel Functions by G. N. Watson (OED2). SAGITTA was used in Latin by Fibonacci (1220) to mean the versed sine (Smith, vol. 2). See versed sine.

OSullivan (London, England) I t was obvious, surveying the list of subjects for discussion at this Conference on «The Science of Morality» to commemorate Bentham's 250th birthday, that Bentham is a well-known figure in Russia. From the same list, however, it was not clear, whether Russian scholars were as familiar with the work of the Bentham Project at University College. The invitation to attend and to speak, therefore, seemed an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of the work that the Project has been doing. Since 1958, the Bentham Project has been preparing a new edition of Jeremy Bentham's Collected Works . Seventy are eventually planned. The first volumes in this edition were published in 1968, and to date, twenty have appeared. When the edition is complete, it will include fourteen volumes of correspondence. So far, ten of these have been published. It is immediately obvious, then, that Bentham's letters will form a significant proportion of the collected works. Since no-one at the Conference appears to have singled out Bentham's letters as a topic, and since I am currently editing the twelfth volume in the series, I thought it appropriate to offer something on this theme. What I propose is to illustrate how the

So, described that way, in its true nature, it is always illegal. The only reason people think 'slavery' is legal, is simply by their hearing, seeing, using, taking that one word, 'slavery,' out of that context. Even out of context, under the "common law," since the English Magna Carta (1215), persons being detained have a right to know the charges. A person being detained, can force his being released by demanding to be informed of the charges; if not, release is instant. The process is called getting a writ of habeas corpus. Slaves were being detained without charge. A habeas corpus case was filed, pursuant to English law allowing for a "writ of habeas corpus." The case is James Sommerset v Charles Stewart .

Extractions: Sponsored by INTRODUCTION The history of the religious persecution of the Huguenots in France, from the massacre of St. Bartholomew to the infamous outrages which preceded and followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, is so familiar, through frequent graphic narrative, that any attempt at repetition here would be quite unnecessary, were the means to be employed adequate. But recently this topic has been ably considered, and a comprehensive narrative of the establishment of the fugitive Protestants in the New World presented as well. a An unpretentious assembling of scattered data relating to the Huguenot settlement in Virginia, and of families of the lineage, happily to serve as material in abler hands in the future, may only be essayed by the present editor. b An act styled "Concerning Denizdtions," giving encouragement to foreign settlers, was passed by the Colonial Assembly in March, 1657 [1658]. It provides that "all aliens and strangers who have inhabited the country the space of ifower yeeres, and have a firme resolution to make this country their place of residence, shall be free denisons of this collony." etc. c In March, 1659 [1660], and October, 1660, acts of naturalization in favor of John Johnson, millwright, being a Dutchman; and of Nicholas Boate, severally, were passed.

Extractions: CHAPTER I. THE FIRST FIFTY YEARS Scarcely more than half a century has passed since the Dominion of Canada, in its present form, came into existence. But thrice that period has elapsed since the fateful day when Montcalm and Wolfe laid down their lives in battle on the Plains of Abraham, and the lands which now comprise the Dominion finally passed from French hands and came under British rule. In 1763 the territories which later were to make up the Dominion of Canada were divided roughly into three parts. These parts had little or nothing in common. They shared together neither traditions of suffering or glory nor ties of blood or trade. Acadia, or Nova Scotia, by the Atlantic, was an old French colony, now British for over a generation. Canada, or Quebec, on the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, with seventy thousand French habitants and a few hundred English camp followers, had just passed under the British flag. West and north lay the vaguely outlined domains of the Hudson's Bay Company, where the red man and the buffalo still reigned supreme and almost unchallenged.
