  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The Logarithmic Tables of Edward Sang and His Daughters

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.

  • 1911-12.] Obituary Notices. 477
    1911-12.] Obituary Notices. 477 Professor George Ohrystal, M.A., LL.D. By Dr J. Sutherland Black and Professor C. G. Knott. (Read January 6, 1913.) PART I.—LIFE AND CAREER. By Dr J. S. BLACK. GEORGE CHRYSTAL was born on the 8th of March 1851, at Mill of Kingoodie, in the parish of Bourtie, some thirteen miles to the north-west of the city of Aberdeen. His father, William Chrystal of Gateside, who achieved some success both in agriculture and in commerce, is described as having been a man who made his way, without any initial advantages, by sheer force of character and the exercise of great natural ability and originality. His son, the subject of this memoir, received his early education at the parish school of Old Meldrum, some two miles distant from his home. From an early age he gave marked promise of intellectual distinction, though physically he was far from strong, and was hampered by a lameness which he afterwards outgrew, but which precluded him from joining in some of the more boisterous activities of boyhood. Early in the 'sixties the family removed to Aberdeen, where in 1863 he entered the Grammar School. Of this period few memorials survive, beyond a number of medals which show that he maintained the early promise of his childhood. In 1866 he gained the Williamson Scholarship, and in 1867 he passed, in his seventeenth year, into the University. Among his teachers here, he was accustomed to refer to Bain as having perhaps had the greatest influence on his whole intellectual development.
