Biography/Organization History Florian Cajori was born at Saint Aignan near Thusis in Switzerland February 28, 1859, came to the United States in 1875 and was graduated at the University of Wisconsin in 1883. The year 1884-85 he spent at the Johns Hopkins University and in 1885 was called to Tulane University to teach mathematics. A breakdown in health sent him to Colorado, where he prepared a monograph on the Teaching and History of Mathematics in the United States. This started him in the direction of his life work. In 1889 he joined the faculty of Colorado College. There he published a history of elementary mathematics in 1896 and a history of physics in 1899. He was then invited to contribute to the fourth volume of Cantor's treatise on the history of mathematics which appeared in 1908. Year by year his scholarship became more and more profound and the number and quality of his contributions to the history of mathematics increased steadily to the time of his death August 15, 1930. He was appointed professor of the history of mathematics in the University of California in 1918, where he came to be recognized as the leading historian of mathematics in this country. Taken from University of California: In Memoriam, 1931 Scope and Content Note Included in the collection is correspondence; material related to his History of Mathematical Notations (1928); writings; and notes.

  • Catalogue 178
    JEFF WEBER RARE BOOKBOOKSSSS ··· 178178178 Los Angeles / Encinitas, California Wings of Imagination Catalogue 178 Muhammad Ali said, “The man who has no imagination has no wings.” The noted writer Zora Neale Hurston is described as one who rode on the “wings of imagination.” This is everything in both science and life. Here is a selection of books that celebrates man’s thought relating to the sciences. One of the most inspired was Newton. My copy of Newton’s Opticks, 1704, is traced to its original owner Dr. Charles Bernard, himself a member of the Royal Society, the book was sold at auction in 1711, reappeared in Edinburgh and bound for the university. The book was given as a student prize by Dr. Philip Kelland, also a Fellow of the Royal Society. Eventually the copy found its way to Washington [D.C.?] by 1915. Again it disappears until 1966 when it was owned by the bookseller Jake Zeitlin. There is nothing so inspiring to a collector than an important book, especially one with a history. Books bring one closer to inspiration, and that allows the mind to soar. 2014 [www.WEBERRAREBOOKS.COM] With more than 10,000 antiquarian books in the fields of science, medicine, Americana, classics, books on books, world travel and fore-edge paintings.
