The life of Airy was essentially that of a hard-working, business man, and differed from that of other hard-working people only in the quality and variety of his work. It was not an exciting life, but it was full of interest, and his work brought him into close relations with many scientific men, and with many men high in the State.

  • Moon-Earth-Sun: the Oldest Three-Body Problem
    Moon-Earth-Sun: The oldest three-body problem Martin C. Gutzwiller IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 The daily motion of the Moon through the sky has many unusual features that a careful observer can discover without the help of instruments. The three different frequencies for the three degrees of freedom have been known very accurately for 3000 years, and the geometric explanation of the Greek astronomers was basically correct. Whereas Kepler’s laws are sufficient for describing the motion of the planets around the Sun, even the most obvious facts about the lunar motion cannot be understood without the gravitational attraction of both the Earth and the Sun. Newton discussed this problem at great length, and with mixed success; it was the only testing ground for his Universal Gravitation. This background for today’s many-body theory is discussed in some detail because all the guiding principles for our understanding can be traced to the earliest developments of astronomy. They are the oldest results of scientific inquiry, and they were the first ones to be confirmed by the great physicist-mathematicians of the 18th century. By a variety of methods, Laplace was able to claim complete agreement of celestial mechanics with the astronomical observations. Lagrange initiated a new trend wherein the mathematical problems of mechanics could all be solved by the same uniform process; canonical transformations eventually won the field. They were used for the first time on a large scale by Delaunay to find the ultimate solution of the lunar problem by perturbing the solution of the two-body Earth-Moon problem.

  • Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2
    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2 On foot from Broad Street by Malcolm Graham (illustrated by Edith Gollnast, cartography by Alun Jones) Chapter 1 – Broad Street to Ship Street The walk begins at the western end of Broad Street, outside the Fisher Buildings of Balliol College (1767, Henry Keene; refaced 1870).1 ‘The Broad’ enjoyably combines grand College and University buildings with humbler shops and houses, reflecting the mix of Town and Gown elements that has produced some of the loveliest townscapes in central Oxford. While you savour the views, it is worth considering how Broad Street came into being. Archaeological evidence suggests that the street was part of the suburban expansion of Oxford in the 12th century. Outside the town wall, there was less pressure on space and the street is first recorded as Horsemonger Street in c.1230 because its width had encouraged the sale of horses. Development began on the north side of the street and the curving south side echoes the shape of the ditch outside the town wall, which, like the land inside it, was not built upon until c. 1600. Broad Street was named Canditch after this ditch by the 14th century but the present name was established by 1751.2 Broad Street features in national history as the place where the Protestant Oxford Martyrs were burned: Bishops Latimer and Ridley in 1555 and Archbishop Cranmer in 1556.3 A paved cross in the centre of Broad Street and a plaque on Balliol College commemorate these tragic events. In 1839, the committee formed to set up a memorial considered building a church near the spot but, after failing to find an eligible site, it opted instead for the Martyrs’ Memorial (1841, Sir George Gilbert Scott) in St Giles’ and a Martyrs’ aisle to St.

  • Booklet Final 0.Pdf
    POISON, PERSUASION, AND PANACEAS From poison pigments to hypnotic cures, this conference explores the many political and cultural imperatives that have informed scientific practice throughout history. While Oh and Fitzpatrick explore the expansion of empire, Canepa and Sinclair explore the expansion of waistlines. Müller uncovers the forgotten impostures of William Morris, while Hunkler and Bonney examine the medical and political importance of forgetting. These papers and others navigate the disputed relationship between science and society, investing the role of science in the construction of gender, race, and empire. The broad array of topics presented today is proof of the continuing intrigue of past, present, and future science, which has been used alternately to obscure, to elucidate, and to alter political life. Was Byron anorexic? Has science fiction influenced perceptions of virtual technology? Did a jellyfish substantiate Spencer’s evolutionary theory? These and other questions continue to fascinate and baffle today’s speakers.
