  • The Scottish Irish Mathematical Trail: People, Places, Practices
    BSHM-CSHPM/SCHPM Conference at St Andrews The Scottish Irish Mathematical Trail: People, Places, Practices Colm Mulcahy, Spelman College, Atlanta, GA, USA www.mathsireland.ie 14 July 2021 ABSTRACT We survey about 65 of the mathematical people with educational or career ties to both Scotland and Ireland, going back to the 1760s. The scope is broad, included pure and applied maths, astronomy, theoretical physics, maths physics, and statistics. From James & William Thomson and Alice Everitt in distant times, to Philip Gormley, Sheila Tinney, Murray McBeath, Andrew Young, and Alisdair Wood from the past century, we’ll explore many maths connections between Scotland and Ireland. Additional people (and all in more detail) can be found at the new blog at www.mathsireland.ie. Travellers on the Scottish Irish mathematical trail A panorama covering over 250 years Includes mathematical people with educational or career ties to Scotland and Ireland, going back to the 1760s. It’s very broad in scope, included pure and applied maths, astronomy, theoretical physics, maths physics, stats, etc. Travellers on the Scottish Irish mathematical trail Most obviously, we include: 1. Irish scholars who went to Scotland for education and/or employment: from James & William Thomson in the 1800s, to Liam O’Carroll and George Gettingby in modern times. 2. Scottish scholars who went to Ireland for similar reasons: from Peter Tait, George Slesser, and Charles Niven in the 1800s, to Gordon Lessells and Alastair Wood more recently. 3. People from elsewhere who spent significant stretches of time (3 or more years) in both countries: e.g., Joseph Everett, Edmund Whittaker, and Andrew Young.

Cayley chose a historical treatment to explain the prevalent basic notions of analytical geometry, concentrating his attention in the period (1638–1750). Topics Cayley discussed include the geometric interpretation of complex numbers, the theory of pole and polar, points and lines at infinity, plane curves, the projective definition of distance, and Pascal’s and Maclaurin’s geometrical theorems. The paper provides a commentary on this lecture with reference to Cayley’s work in geometry. The ambience of Cambridge mathematics as it existed after 1863 is briefly discussed.
