Extractions: HIS GLOSSARY Many of these terms were recently created by Jonathan Bowers, Norman Johnson, or me as part of our Uniform Polychora Project and do not yet appear in standard geometry texts. Part of the purpose of the Glossary for Hyperspace is to acquaint readers with these terms. These are working The Glossary is (or should be) self-contained. If one finds an unfamiliar term in a Glossary entry, it has (or should have) an entry of its own in the Glossary. Mathematical terms that everyone should be familiar with, however, do not necessarily appear in the Glossary. Links to latest terms/revisions in Glossary: Transitivity This Web page is perpetually under construction, and new terms will be added to the Glossary from time to time as needed. Revisions, corrections (nothing is perfect the first time out!), and other updates will also appear whenever required. I am particularly grateful to Norman Johnson and Jonathan Bowers for their reviews of the entries. I intend eventually to add some desperately needed illustrations to the Glossary, and if it grows too large I will have to make separate Web pages for some of the longer entries.

Town and gown riots occurred in Cambridge as well and in 1381 all the university records were publicly burned, resulting in considerable obscurity about the early history of the university. The Cambridge system has undergone many changes, but from 1747-1748 until 1910 there was an extended examination, called the Tripos, and the top students were ranked in order as senior wrangler, second wrangler, ....

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: Died: 27 June 1975 in Cambridge, England Geoffrey Taylor was a grandson of George Boole and Alicia Stott was his aunt. He attended school in Hampstead, and there he began to find his love of science. At the age of 11 he attended a series of children's Christmas lectures on The principles of the electric telegraph and these made a strong impression on him. He was introduced to William Thomson at one of these lectures and Lord Kelvin told him he had been friendly with Geoffrey Taylor's grandfather George Boole In 1899 Taylor went to University College School and in 1905 he won a scholarship to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. There he read mathematics, attending lectures by Whitehead Whittaker and Hardy . After taking part I of the mathematics tripos he moved towards physics taking part II of the physics tripos. He then won a scholarship to undertake research at Trinity College. One of his first pieces of research was a theoretical study of shock waves where he extended work by Thomson . This work won him a Smith's Prize. In 1910 he was elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College. The following year he was appointed to a meteorology post and his work on turbulence in the atmosphere led to his publication Turbulent motion in fluids which won the Adams Prize at Cambridge in 1915.

Box 5007 Westport, CT 06881-5007 This volume originated with the idea that a biographical reference source of women in the mathematical sciences was needed. Histories of mathematics rarely devote much coverage to the work of women per se, and only a handful of women are likely to be noted-perhaps Agnesi, Chatelet, Germain, Hypatia, Kovalevskaia, Noether, and Somerville. This book is an archival collection of original essays on 43 women mathematicians, featuring their work as well as their lives. The women included are either deceased or born before 1925, and they fulfill several from a list of criteria for professional achievement and recognition. Each essay includes three sections: biography, work, and bibliography. The biography section includes known information about the subject's family background, education, and career, with particular attention to any circumstances and influences that affected her career. In the work section, an estimate is made of the individual's career and its significance, including presenting the relevant mathematics in language as nontechnical as possible.

Extractions: Teaching OnLine - Corsi on line di programmazione Scheda 1 George Boole G eorge Boole George Boole (1815-1864) , matematico inglese, meglio noto come padre della logica matematica. Nato da una famiglia povera e che fu essenzialmente un matematico autodidatta, fece conoscere la sua presenza nel mondo matematico nel 1847 dopo la pubblicazione del suo libro, " The Mathematical Analysis of Logic Nel suo libro, Boole dimostrava con successo che la logica, come la insegnava Aristotele poteva essere rappresentata tramite equazioni algebriche. Nel 1854, Boole stabiliva solidamente la sua reputazione pubblicando " An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities ", una continuazione del suo lavoro precedente. In 1855 Boole, il primo professore di matematica del College The College of Cork, Ireland, sposò Mary Everest , che è già nota come matematico e professore. Mary, che era di 18 anni più giovane di Boole, ebbe il compito di editor e sounding-board per suo marito nei loro nove anni di matrimonio.
