  • The History and Development of Numerical Analysis in Scotland: a Personal Perspective∗
    The history and development of numerical analysis in Scotland: a personal perspective∗ G. A. Watson, Division of Mathematics, University of Dundee, Dundee DD1 4HN, Scotland. Abstract An account is given of the history and development of numerical analysis in Scotland. This covers, in particular, activity in Edinburgh in the first half of the 20th century, the collaboration between Edinburgh and St Andrews in the 1960s, and the role played by Dundee from the 1970s. I will give some reminiscences from my own time at both Edinburgh and Dundee. 1 Introduction To provide a historical account of numerical analysis (or of anything else), it is necessary to decide where to begin. If numerical analysis is defined to be the study of algorithms for the problems of continuous mathematics [16], then of course it has a very long history (see, for example, [6], [13]). But \modern" numerical analysis is inextricably linked with computing machines. It is usually associated with programmable electronic computers, and is often said to have its origins in the 1947 paper by von Neumann and Goldstine [10]. The name apparently was first used around that time, and was given formal recognition in the setting up of the Institute for Numerical Analysis, located on the campus of the University of California at Los Angeles [3]. This was a section of the National Applied Mathematics Laboratories of the National Bureau of Standards, headed by J. H. Curtiss, who is often given credit for the name. Others consider modern numerical analysis to go back further than this; for example Todd [15] suggests it begins around 1936, and cites papers by Comrie and Turing.

  • William Robertson Smith, Solomon Schechter and Contemporary Judaism
    https://doi.org/10.14324/111.444.jhs.2016v48.026 William Robertson Smith, Solomon Schechter and contemporary Judaism bernhard maier University of Tübingen, Germany* During Solomon Schechter’s first years in the University of Cambridge, one of his most illustrious colleagues was the Scottish Old Testament scholar and Arabist William Robertson Smith (1846–1894), who is today considered to be among the founding fathers of comparative religious studies. Smith was the son of a minister of the strongly evangelical Free Church of Scotland, which had constituted itself in 1843 as a rival to the state-controlled established Church of Scotland. Appointed Professor of Old Testament Exegesis in the Free Church College Aberdeen at the early age of twenty-four, Smith soon came into conflict with the conservative theologians of his church on account of his critical views. After a prolonged heresy trial, he was finally deprived of his Aberdeen chair in 1881. In 1883 he moved to Cambridge, where he served, successively, as Lord Almoner’s Reader in Arabic, University Librarian, and Thomas Adams’s Professor of Arabic. Discussing Schechter’s relations with Robertson Smith, one has to bear in mind that direct contact between Schechter and Smith was confined to a relatively short period of less than five years (1890–94), during which Smith was frequently ill and consequently not resident in Cambridge at all.1 Furthermore, there is not much written evidence, so that several hints and clues that have come down to us are difficult to interpret, our understanding being sometimes based on inference and reasoning by analogy rather than on any certain knowledge.

  • On the Isochronism of Galilei's Horologium
    IFToMM Workshop on History of MMS – Palermo 2013 On the isochronism of Galilei's horologium Francesco Sorge, Marco Cammalleri, Giuseppe Genchi DICGIM, Università di Palermo, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract − Measuring the passage of time has always fascinated the humankind throughout the centuries. It is amazing how the general architecture of clocks has remained almost unchanged in practice to date from the Middle Ages. However, the foremost mechanical developments in clock-making date from the seventeenth century, when the discovery of the isochronism laws of pendular motion by Galilei and Huygens permitted a higher degree of accuracy in the time measure. Keywords: Time Measure, Pendulum, Isochronism Brief Survey on the Art of Clock-Making The first elements of temporal and spatial cognition among the primitive societies were associated with the course of natural events. In practice, the starry heaven played the role of the first huge clock of mankind. According to the philosopher Macrobius (4 th century), even the Latin term hora derives, through the Greek word ‘ώρα , from an Egyptian hieroglyph to be pronounced Heru or Horu , which was Latinized into Horus and was the name of the Egyptian deity of the sun and the sky, who was the son of Osiris and was often represented as a hawk, prince of the sky. Later on, the measure of time began to assume a rudimentary technical connotation and to benefit from the use of more or less ingenious devices. Various kinds of clocks developed to relatively high levels of accuracy through the Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Roman civilizations.

  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

Craik School of Mathematics & Statistics, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9SS, Scotland, United Kingdom Abstract Edward Sang (1805–1890), aided only by his daughters Flora and Jane, compiled vast logarithmic and other mathematical tables. These exceed in accuracy and extent the tables of the French Bureau du Cadastre, produced by Gaspard de Prony and a multitude of assistants during 1794–1801. Like Prony’s, only a small part of Sang’s tables was published: his 7-place logarithmic tables of 1871. The contents and fate of Sang’s manuscript volumes, the abortive attempts to publish them, and some of Sang’s methods are described. A brief biography of Sang outlines his many other contributions to science and technology in both Scotland and Turkey. Remarkably, the tables were mostly compiled in his spare time. 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved. Résumé Edward Sang (1805–1890), aidé seulement par sa famille, c’est à dire ses filles Flora et Jane, compila des tables vastes des logarithmes et des autres fonctions mathématiques. Ces tables sont plus accurates, et plus extensives que celles du Bureau du Cadastre, compileés les années 1794–1801 par Gaspard de Prony et une foule de ses aides. On ne publia qu’une petite partie des tables de Sang (comme celles de Prony) : ses tables du 1871 des logarithmes à 7-places décimales.

Y la reunión de estos tres casos en el capítulo de institucionalización ha estado guiada, para buena parte de la His- toria de la Ciencia, por la idea de que estas sociedades eran la materialización de los ideales baconianos de colaboración científica, los intereses prácticos, la necesidad de establecer nuevas vías de comunicación de ideas, inventos, 443 SEMINARIO «OROTAVA» DE HISTORIA DE LA CIENCIA - AÑO XI-XII hipótesis o descubrimientos y otros elementos afines que caracterizarán, a partir de esas fechas, a la ciencia moderna. Cada una de estas sociedades, sin embar- go, tuvo unas motivaciones, unas características, una estructura y unos objeti- vos tan diferentes que hablar de un proceso lineal y común de institucionaliza- ción de la ciencia europea en aquel periodo no sólo es equivocado, sino que conlleva los peligros de ocultar las verdaderas inspiraciones y objetivos que estuvieron en la base de tales asociaciones de hombres de ciencia. En especial el caso de la Academia del Cimento nació como elemento representativo de un proyecto científico que poco tenía que ver con esos ras- gos característicos de la moderna insitucionalización científica y compartía mucho, en cambio, con una tradición renacentista y cortesana de academias de hombres cultos y literatos.

  • The Geometry of Trifocal Curves with Applications in Architecture, Urban
    The Geometry of Trifocal Curves with Applications in Architecture, Urban and Spatial Planning Maja Petrović, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia; Address: Vojvode Stepe 305, 11000 Beograd, Serbia, telephone: +381 11 3091 259, fax: +381 11 3096 704, e-mail: [email protected] Bojan Banjac, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia, University of Novi Sad, Faculty of technical sciences – Computer Graphics Chair, Novi Sad, Serbia Branko Malešević, University of Belgrade, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Belgrade, Serbia In this paper we consider historical genesis of trifocal curve as an optimal curve for solving the Fermat’s problem (minimizing the sum of distance of one point to three given points in the plane). Trifocal curves are basic plane geometric forms which appear in location problems. We also analyze algebraic equation of these curves and some of their applications in architecture, urbanism and spatial planning. The area and perimeter of trifocal curves are calculated using a Java application. The Java applet is developed for determining numerical value for the Fermat-Torricelli-Weber point and optimal curve with three foci, when starting points are given on an urban map. We also present an application of trifocal curves through the analysis of one specific solution in South Stream gas pipeline project. Key-words: Fermat-Torricelli-Weber point, trifocal curve, Java applet. 1. Historical concerns of optimal location The Fermat problem is given in original Latin as (Fermat, 1679): “datis tribus punctis, quartum reperire, a quo si ducantur tres rectae ad data puncta, summa trium harum rectarum sit minima quantitas” or in the English translation “for three given points, the fourth is to be found, from which if three straight lines are drawn to the given points, the sum of the three lengths is minimum” (Brazil et al., 2013).
