June 2011 Rochester Avon Historical Society Rochester, Michigan www.rochesteravonhistoricalsociety.org Lysander Woodward Residence 1385 North Main Street Rochester, Michigan written by Deborah J. Larsen for the Rochester Avon Historical Society research team: John Crissman, James Hopkins, Deborah Larsen May 2010 rev. June 2011 Table of Contents I. Introduction II. Lysander Woodward biography III. Children of Lysander Woodward IV. Subsequent ownership Bibliography Appendix Endnotes Introduction The Lysander Woodward residence located at 1385 North Main St., Rochester, Oakland County, Michigan was originally built as the family home of one of Rochester's pioneer era farmers and most prominent citizens. The house is believed to have been built between 1845 and 1850 and remained in the control of the Woodward family until 1933. It numbers among the oldest structures in the City of Rochester and may be, arguably, the oldest building within the current city limits, predating even the 1849 Rollin Sprague Store/Home Bakery building (National Register Information System #99000474). May 2010 / Lysander Woodward Residence / Deborah J. Larsen / 2 The house is a Greek Revival gable front and wing arrangement. The earliest available image of the building is an engraving of it which appeared in the 1877 Durant history of Oakland County. This image, and a photograph taken of a portion of the front of the house in approximately 1895 reveal that the columned porch that currently extends along the entire front of the building is a revision and that the original porch was a much more modest feature that extended along the wing section only.

    Chinese Annals of History of Science and Technology 3 (2), 118–165 (2019) doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1461.2019.02118 Transnational Mathematics and Movements: Shiing- shen Chern, Hua Luogeng, and the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study from World War II to the Cold War1 Zuoyue Wang 王作跃,2 Guo Jinhai 郭金海3 (California State Polytechnic University, Pomona 91768, US; Institute for the History of Natural Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China) Abstract: This paper reconstructs, based on American and Chinese primary sources, the visits of Chinese mathematicians Shiing-shen Chern 陈省身 (Chen Xingshen) and Hua Luogeng 华罗庚 (Loo-Keng Hua)4 to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the United States in the 1940s, especially their interactions with Oswald Veblen and Hermann Weyl, two leading mathematicians at the IAS. It argues that Chern’s and Hua’s motivations and choices in regard to their transnational movements between China and the US were more nuanced and multifaceted than what is presented in existing accounts, and that socio-political factors combined with professional-personal ones to shape their decisions. The paper further uses their experiences to demonstrate the importance of transnational scientific interactions for the development of science in China, the US, and elsewhere in the twentieth century. Keywords: Shiing-shen Chern, Chen Xingshen, Hua Luogeng, Loo-Keng Hua, Institute for 1 This article was copy-edited by Charlie Zaharoff. 2 Research interests: History of science and technology in the United States, China, and transnational contexts in the twentieth century. He is currently writing a book on the history of American-educated Chinese scientists and China-US scientific relations.

  • Pure Spinors to Associative Triples to Zero-Divisors
    Pure Spinors to Associative Triples to Zero-Divisors Frank Dodd (Tony) Smith, Jr. - 2012 Abstract: Both Clifford Algebras and Cayley-Dickson Algebras can be used to construct Physics Models. Clifford and Cayley-Dickson Algebras have in common Real Numbers, Complex Numbers, and Quaternions, but in higher dimensions Clifford and Cayley-Dickson diverge. This paper is an attempt to explore the relationship between higher-dimensional Clifford and Cayley-Dickson Algebras by comparing Projective Pure Spinors of Clifford Algebras with Zero-Divisor structures of Cayley-Dickson Algebras. 1 Pure Spinors to Associative Triples to Zero-Divisors Frank Dodd (Tony) Smith, Jr. - 2012 Robert de Marrais and Guillermo Moreno, pioneers in studying Zero-Divisors, unfortunately have passed (2011 and 2006). Pure Spinors to Associative Triples ..... page 2 Associative Triples to Loops ............... page 3 Loops to Zero-Divisors ....................... page 6 New Phenomena at C32 = T32 ........... page 9 Zero-Divisor Annihilator Geometry .... page 17 Pure Spinors to Associative Triples Pure spinors are those spinors that can be represented by simple exterior wedge products of vectors. For Cl(2n) they can be described in terms of bivectors Spin(2n) and Spin(n) based on the twistor space Spin(2n)/U(n) = Spin(n) x Spin(n). Since (1/2)((1/2)(2n)(2n-1)-n^2) = (1/2)(2n^2-n-n^2) = = (1/2)(n(n-1)) Penrose and Rindler (Spinors and Spacetime v.2) describe Cl(2n) projective pure half-spinors as Spin(n) so that the Cl(2n) full space of pure half-spinors has dimension dim(Spin(n))

  • Theory of Trigintaduonion Emanation and Origins of Α and Π
    Theory of Trigintaduonion Emanation and Origins of and Stephen Winters-Hilt Meta Logos Systems Aurora, Colorado Abstract In this paper a specific form of maximal information propagation is explored, from which the origins of , , and fractal reality are revealed. Introduction The new unification approach described here gives a precise derivation for the mysterious physics constant (the fine-structure constant) from the mathematical physics formalism providing maximal information propagation, with being the maximal perturbation amount. Furthermore, the new unification provides that the structure of the space of initial ‘propagation’ (with initial propagation being referred to as ‘emanation’) has a precise derivation, with a unit-norm perturbative limit that leads to an iterative-map-like computed (a limit that is precisely related to the Feigenbaum bifurcation constant and thus fractal). The computed can also, by a maximal information propagation argument, provide a derivation for the mathematical constant . The ideal constructs of planar geometry, and related such via complex analysis, give methods for calculation of to incredibly high precision (trillions of digits), thereby providing an indirect derivation of to similar precision. Propagation in 10 dimensions (chiral, fermionic) and 26 dimensions (bosonic) is indicated [1-3], in agreement with string theory. Furthermore a preliminary result showing a relation between the Feigenbaum bifurcation constant and , consistent with the hypercomplex algebras indicated in the Emanator Theory, suggest an individual object trajectory with 36=10+26 degrees of freedom (indicative of heterotic strings). The overall (any/all chirality) propagation degrees of freedom, 78, are also in agreement with the number of generators in string gauge symmetries [4].
