great for history and context
> "should be recommended reading for Accounting majors."

Not sure it's needed for accounting majors.

I make a brief reference to Pacioli in my Accounting Systems class. In that Queen Isabella being one of the first venture capitalists, used double-entry accounting, a la Pacioli, to make sure she got a return, and saved her country and her reign.
I try to liven up why the study of accounting is important.It was interesting to learn that Pacioli "only" documented and popularized the Venetian Method of accounting, and did not invent it, as popularly thought.

Accounting History from the Resnaissance to the Present
Any book regarding the suject of Accounting is worth while reading. As an Accounting Major in school we simply learn how to apply theory but not the history of Accounting. Luca Paciola was the father of Accounting and he set forth the rules that we still use today. A book that should be recommendedreading for Accounting major's. ... Read more

Excerpt: In recreational mathematics, a magic square of order n is an arrangement of n numbers, usually distinct integers, in a square, such that the n numbers in all rows, all columns, and both diagonals sum to the same constant. A normal magic square contains the integers from 1 to n. The term "magic square" is also sometimes used to refer to any of various types of word square. Normal magic squares exist for all orders n 1 except n = 2, although the case n = 1 is trivial, consisting of a single cell containing the number 1. The smallest nontrivial case, shown below, is of order 3. The constant sum in every row, column and diagonal is called the magic constant or...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=52202 ... Read more

Excerpt: Nicolaus Copernicus (German: ; in his youth, Niclas Koppernigk; Polish: ; Italian: ; 19 February 1473 24 May 1543) was a Renaissance astronomer and the first to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology, which displaced the Earth from the center of the universe. Copernicus' epochal book, De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), published just before his death in 1543, is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy and the defining epiphany that began the scientific revolution. His heliocentric model, with the Sun at the center of the universe, demonstrated that the observed motions of celestial objects can be explained with...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=323592 ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paciolo) (1446/7, Sansepolcro - 1517) was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and seminal contributor to the field now known as accounting, for which he is often regarded as the "Father of Accounting". He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Santo Sepolcro, Tuscany. Pacioli also wrote an unpublished treatise on chess, De ludo scacchorum. Long thought to have been lost, a surviving manuscript was rediscovered in 2006, in the 22,000-volume library of Count Guglielmo Coronini. A facsimile edition of the book was published in Pacioli's home town of Sansepolcro in 2008. Based on Leonardo da Vinci's long association with the author and his having illustrated De divina proportione, some scholars speculate that Leonardo either drew the chess problems that appear in the manuscript or at least designed the chess pieces used in the problems. ...

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Nicolas Chuquet, Luca Pacioli, Regiomontanus. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Nicolas Chuquet, né entre 1445 et 1455 à Paris, mort entre 1487 et 1488 à Lyon, est un mathématicien français. Arrivé à Lyon vers 1480, on ne savait plus de sa vie en 1880 que ce qu'il en avait raconté dans son livre sur la science des nombres. Les travaux de J. Itard, après ceux d'Aristide Marre, de Tannerey et de Lambo permettent de tracer un portrait plus complet du mathématicien le plus inventif de la fin du moyen-âge occidental. Parisien, Bachelier en médecine, Nicolas Chuquet a publié à Lyon en 1484 son œuvre majeure, écrite en français Triparty en la science des nombres. Il y affirme : Et ainsi a l'honneur de la glorieuse trinité se termine ce livre lequel pour raison de ces trois parties générales je l'appelle triparty. Et aussi pour cause quil a été fait par Nicolas Chuquet, parisien, Bachelier en medecine. Je le nomme triparty de Nicolas en la science des nombres. Lequel fut composé medié et fini à Lyon sus le Rhône l'an de salut 1484.Par malheur, cette œuvre majeure, Triparty en la science des nombres, ne fut jamais publiée de son vivant. La première trace qu'on ait de lui date du quatre juin 1484 ; il est enregistré comme écrivain (celui qui enseigne aux enfants à écrire) et habite entre la Porte des Frères Mineurs et la rue de la Grenette vers le Muton, soit dans l'actuelle rue de la République. Il y demeure encore 5 ans plus tard, sous le nom d'algoriste, et on l'y retrouve en 1487. D'après Hervé L'Huillier, c'est un quartier de petites gens ; ses voisins sont des panetiers, un toilier, un couturier, des sergents, et son niveau de fortune est encore inférieur au leur. On pense qu'il meurt en 1488. Un man...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Francisco Hernández de Córdoba (died 1517) was a Spanish conquistador, known to history mainly for the ill-fated expedition he led in 1517, in the course of which the first European accounts of the Yucatán Peninsula were compiled. Together with some 110 discontented Spanish settlers in Cuba, Hernández de Córdoba petitioned the governor, Diego Velázquez de Cuéllar, for permission to launch an expedition in search of new lands and exploitable resources. This permission was granted after some haggling over terms, and the expedition consisting of three ships under Hernández de Córdoba's command left the harbor of Santiago de Cuba on February 8, 1517, to explore the shores of southern Mexico. The main pilot was Antón de Alaminos, the premiere navigator of the region who had accompanied Christopher Columbus on his initial voyages; The pilots of the other two ships were Juan Álvarez and Camacho de Triana. During the course of this expedition many of Hernández' men were killed, most during a battle near ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1220329 ... Read more

Excerpt: Mdhavan of Sangamagramam (born as Irinjaatappilly Madhavan Namboodiri) (c. 1350 c. 1425) was a prominent Hindu mathematician-astronomer from the town of Irinjalakkuda, near Cochin, Kerala, India. Sangamagramam (lit. sangamam = union, grmam = village) is a rough translation to Sanskrit from Dravidian word 'Iringattikudal', which means ' iru (two) angaTi (market) kUdal (union)' or the union of two markets . He is considered the founder of the Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics. He was the first to have developed infinite series approximations for a range of trigonometric functions, which has been called the "decisive step onward from the finite procedures of ancient mathematics to treat their limit-passage to infinity". His discoveries opened the doors to what has today come to be known as mathematical analysis. One of the greatest mathematician-astronomers of the Middle Ages, Madhava contributed to infinite series, calculus, trigonometry, geometry and algebra. Some scholars have also suggested that Madhava's work, through the writings of the Kerala school, may have been transmitted to Europe via Jesuit missionaries and traders who were active around the ancient port of Kochi at the time. As a result, it may have had an influence on later European developments in analysis and calculus. Although there is some evidence of Mathematical wo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2793007 ...

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Fra Luca Bartolomeo de Pacioli (sometimes Paciolo) (1446/7, Sansepolcro - 1517) was an Italian mathematician and Franciscan friar, collaborator with Leonardo da Vinci, and seminal contributor to the field now known as accounting, for which he is often regarded as the "Father of Accounting". He was also called Luca di Borgo after his birthplace, Borgo Santo Sepolcro, Tuscany. Luca Pacioli was born in 1446 or 1447 in Borgo San Sepolcro, a small Tuscan town and died at the age of 70 on 19th June 1517, possibly also in San Sepolcro. He was the son of Bartholomeus Pacioli, to a middle class family. One of his teachers may have been the painter Piero della Francesca, who, typically for Italian Humanism, masterfully connected mathematics, science and art. In 1464 Luca Pacioli became employed by a Venetian merchant, Ser Antonio de Rompiasi who lived in the Guideca, the Jewish Quarter of the city. Together with Rompiasi's three sons, Pacioli attended the lectures of the mathematician Domenico Bragadino in the Scuolo di Rialto, a school of great importance for the history of Aristotelianism. There is no evidence that he worked as Rompiasi's bookkeeper but, he published a treatise on bookkeeping in 1494 that, at the very least, supports this hypothesis. He did undertake voyages on behalf of his master, In 1470 Pacioli stayed in Rome at the house of the famous architect, philosopher and mathematician Leon Battista Alberti. This move to Rome may have been suggested by his teacher Piero, who had worked together with Alberti in the church of Sail Francesco in Rimini during the fifties. Between 1472 and 1475, Pacioli became a Franciscan Minor under the name Frater Lucas de Borgo San Sepulcro. In 1475, ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more
