Extractions: Alicia Boole Stott June 8, 1860 - December 17, 1940 The third of the five daughters of Mary Everest Boole . Despite having no formal education in mathematics, she still possessed a great power of geometric visualization in hyperspace. From the age of seventeen until her death, she remained interested in regular and semi-regular four-dimensional polytopes and made several important discoveries in this area. The University of Groningen conferred upon her an honorary degree and exhibited her geometric models. Coxeter, H.S.M.

Extractions: Alicia Boole was the third daughter of George Boole . George Boole died when Alicia was only four years old and she was was brought up partly in England by her grandmother, partly in Cork by her great-uncle. When she was twelve years old she went to London where she joined her mother and sisters. With no formal education she suprised everyone when, at the age of eighteen, she was introduced to a set of little wooden cubes by her brother-in-law Charles Howard Hinton. Alicia Boole experimented with the cubes and soon developed an amazing feel for four dimensional geometry. She introduced the word 'polytope' to describe a four dimensional convex solid. MacHale, in [3], writes:- She found that there were exactly six regular polytopes on four dimensions and that they are bounded by or tetrahedra

Si interessa giovanissima alla geometria dello spazio a quattro dimensioni , facendo di questo capitolo della matematica il suo costante campo di ricerca. ATTIVITA' Negli anni della giovinezza in Inghilterra, Alicia indirizza le sue curiosità culturali allo studio degli iperspazi, dopo che Hinton nel 1880 aveva anche scritto un articolo dal titolo "Che cosa è la quarta dimensione?". Hinton è cognato della giovane Boole e se a lei il padre e la madre avevano trasmesso la passione per la matematica, Hinton incide decisamente nella scelta del suo campo specifico di ricerca Particolarmente importanti sono gli studi di Alicia Stott sui politopi regolari , gli equivalenti nello spazio a quattro dimensioni dei poliedri regolari nello spazio a tre dimensioni. La Stott si occupa in particolare delle sezioni dei politopi con lo spazio a tre dimensioni e riesce a realizzare modelli di varie sezioni dei politopi utilizzando solo nozioni di geometria sintetica. Nel 1900 pubblica il saggio: "On certain series of sections of tht regular four-dimensional hypersolids".

Alice boole stott explores hyperspace on a kitchen table No. 880 alicia boole stott. by John H. Lienhard

Extractions: by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 880. Today, we enter hyperspace on a kitchen table. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. Y our computer depends on Boolean logic. That's kin to the arithmetic that admits only two numbers: and 1. Binary arithmetic doesn't go 1, 2, 3, 4. It goes 0, 1, 10, 11. The English mathematician George Boole built his logic on that arithmetic. But we're interested in Boole's daughter, Alice Boole Stott. George Boole took a professorship at Queen's College, Cork, in 1849. Alice was born there in 1860. When she was four, George died of the fever and left the family with very limited means. For the next 14 years, Alice lived in bad conditions in Ireland and England. She was educated only up to the age of 16. Then a piece of serendipity: In 1878 a family friend brought in a set of wooden blocks and talked with Alice about tesseracts. A tesseract is a four-dimensional object. It is to a cube what a cube is to a plane square. If you have trouble picturing that, you can appreciate the task Alice had taken on.

Extractions: mathematician Alicia Boole Stott's father was the mathematician George Boole (for whom Boolean logic is named). He was teaching in Ireland when Alicia was born there, in 1860, and he died four years later. Alicia lived with her grandmother in England and her great-uncle in Cork for the next ten years before she rejoined her mother and sisters in London. In her teens, Alicia Stott became interested in four-dimensional hypercubes, or tesseracts. She became secretary to John Falk, an associate of her brother-in-law, Howard Hinton, who had introduced her to tesseracts. Alicia Stott continued building models of wood to represent four-dimensional convex solids, which she named polytopes, and published an article on three-dimenstional sections of hypersolids in 1900. She married Walter Stott, an actuary. They had two children, and Alicia Stott settled into the role of homemaker until her husband noted that her mathematical interests might also be of interest to the mathematician Pieter Hendrik Schoute at the University of Groningen. After the Stotts wrote to Schoute, and Schoute saw photographs of some models that Alicia Stott had built, Schoute moved to England to work with her.

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: 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.
