REVUE DE SYNTHÈSE : TOME 139 7e SÉRIE N° 3-4 (2018) 267-288 brill.com/rds A Task that Exceeded the Technology: Early Applications of the Computer to the Lunar Three-body Problem Allan Olley* Abstract: The lunar Three-Body problem is a famously intractable problem of Newtonian mechanics. The demand for accurate predictions of lunar motion led to practical approximate solutions of great complexity, constituted by trigonometric series with hundreds of terms. Such considerations meant there was demand for high speed machine computation from astronomers during the earliest stages of computer development. One early innovator in this regard was Wallace J. Eckert, a Columbia University professor of astronomer and IBM researcher. His work illustrates some interesting features of the interaction between computers and astronomy. Keywords: history of astronomy – three body problem – history of computers – Wallace J. Eckert Une tâche excédant la technologie : l’utilisation de l’ordinateur dans le problème lunaire des trois corps Résumé : Le problème des trois corps appliqué à la lune est un problème classique de la mécanique newtonienne, connu pour être insoluble avec des méthodes exactes. La demande pour des prévisions précises du mouvement lunaire menait à des solutions d’approximation pratiques qui étaient d’une complexité considérable, avec des séries tri- gonométriques contenant des centaines de termes. Cela a très tôt poussé les astronomes à chercher des outils de calcul et ils ont été parmi les premiers à utiliser des calculatrices rapides, dès les débuts du développement des ordinateurs modernes. Un innovateur des ces années-là est Wallace J. Eckert, professeur d’astronomie à Columbia University et * Allan Olley, born in 1979, he obtained his PhD-degree from the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science Technology (IHPST), University of Toronto in 2011. -
Wallace Eckert
Wallace Eckert Nakumbuka Dk Eckert aliniambia, "Siku moja, kila mtu atakuwa na kompyuta kwenye dawati lao." Macho yangu yalifunguka. Hiyo lazima iwe katika miaka mapema ya 1950’s. Aliona mapema. -Eleanor Krawitz Kolchin, mahojiano ya Huffington Post, Februari 2013. Picha: Karibu 1930, Jalada la Columbiana. Wallace John Eckert, 1902-1971. Pamoja na masomo ya kuhitimu huko Columbia, Chuo Kikuu cha Chicago, na Yale, alipokea Ph.D. kutoka Yale mnamo 1931 chini ya Profesa Ernest William Brown (1866-1938), ambaye alitumia kazi yake katika kuendeleza nadharia ya mwongozo wa mwezi. Maarufu zaidi kwa mahesabu ya mzunguko wa mwezi ambayo yaliongoza misheni ya Apollo kwenda kwa mwezi, Eckert alikuwa Profesa wa Sayansi ya Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia kutoka 1926 hadi 1970, mwanzilishi na Mkurugenzi wa Ofisi ya Taasisi ya Taaluma ya Thomas J. Watson katika Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia (1937-40), Mkurugenzi wa Ofisi ya Amerika ya US Naval Observatory Nautical Almanac (1940-45), na mwanzilishi na Mkurugenzi wa Maabara ya Sayansi ya Watson ya Sayansi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Columbia (1945-1966). Kwanza kabisa, na daima ni mtaalam wa nyota, Eckert aliendesha na mara nyingi alisimamia ujenzi wa mashine za kompyuta zenye nguvu kusuluhisha shida katika mechanics ya mbinguni, haswa ili kuhakikisha, kupanua, na kuboresha nadharia ya Brown. Alikuwa mmoja wa kwanza kutumia mashine za kadi za kuchomwa kwa suluhisho la shida tata za kisayansi. Labda kwa maana zaidi, alikuwa wa kwanza kusasisha mchakato wakati, mnamo 1933-34, aliunganisha mahesabu na kompyuta za IBM kadhaa na mzunguko wa vifaa na vifaa vya muundo wake ili kusuluhisha usawa wa aina, njia ambazo baadaye zilibadilishwa na kupanuliwa kwa IBM ya "Aberdeen "Calculator inayoweza kupatikana ya Udhibiti wa Mpangilio, Punch Kuhesabu elektroniki, Calculator ya Kadi iliyopangwa, na SSEC. -
Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

C LEMENCE Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1970 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. DIRK BROUWER September 1, 1902-January 31, 1966 BY G. M. CLEMENCE IRK BROUWER, who contributed more to dynamical astron- D omy than any other astronomer of his time, died on January 31, 1966, after a week in hospital; his death was occa- sioned by an acute disorder of the heart. He is survived by his widow and an only son, James. Brouwer was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on September 1, 1902, the son of a civil service employee. As a stu- dent in the University of Leiden he studied mathematics and astronomy, coming under the influence of Willem de Sitter, who in his own day was the dean of that branch of astronomy in which Brouwer was to do most of his work. Receiving the Ph.D. degree in 1927 under de Sitter, Brouwer came to the United States as a fellow of the International Education Board, spending a year at the University of California in Berkeley and at Yale University, where he was to remain the rest of his life. His initial appointment at Yale was in 1928 as research as- sistant to Ernest W. Brown, who was then the greatest living authority on the motion of the moon. -
Moon-Earth-Sun: the Oldest Three-Body Problem
Moon-Earth-Sun: The oldest three-body problem Martin C. Gutzwiller IBM Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 The daily motion of the Moon through the sky has many unusual features that a careful observer can discover without the help of instruments. The three different frequencies for the three degrees of freedom have been known very accurately for 3000 years, and the geometric explanation of the Greek astronomers was basically correct. Whereas Kepler’s laws are sufficient for describing the motion of the planets around the Sun, even the most obvious facts about the lunar motion cannot be understood without the gravitational attraction of both the Earth and the Sun. Newton discussed this problem at great length, and with mixed success; it was the only testing ground for his Universal Gravitation. This background for today’s many-body theory is discussed in some detail because all the guiding principles for our understanding can be traced to the earliest developments of astronomy. They are the oldest results of scientific inquiry, and they were the first ones to be confirmed by the great physicist-mathematicians of the 18th century. By a variety of methods, Laplace was able to claim complete agreement of celestial mechanics with the astronomical observations. Lagrange initiated a new trend wherein the mathematical problems of mechanics could all be solved by the same uniform process; canonical transformations eventually won the field. They were used for the first time on a large scale by Delaunay to find the ultimate solution of the lunar problem by perturbing the solution of the two-body Earth-Moon problem. -

Arglass Gullies – Site for Consideration As MCZ
Arglass Gullies – Site for consideration as MCZ The coastline around Ardglass is formed from strongly folded sedimentary rock. This extends into the subtidal to create unusual gullies underwater. Seasearch has done two days of survey work in this area between 2013-2014 and we would like to submit this area (approximately from Gunns Island to Ringfad point, although may extend further south) as a site for consideration as a geological MCZ. The area is moderately popular with local dive clubs as it provides safe, shallow, training dives for new divers and presents interesting topography for exploration. However, to our knowledge these gullies have not previously been formally surveyed – the two transects carried out between Guns Island and Ringfad point during the Northern Ireland Littoral survey reported small cliffs and ridges with cobbles (Legnaboe Ardglass) and a cliff with a base of clean cobbles (Ringfad Point). Guns Island was not surveyed during NISS. We appreciate this area requires further survey work but wish to highlight it at this stage for future survey and consideration as a MCZ. The walls of some of the gullies are rich in life, particularly sponges and anemones (possibly confirming to the UK BAP Fragile sponge and anthozoan communities, depending on finalised definition). One of the gullies surveyed ended in a small sea cave and it is likely that more caves are present in the area. Submerged or partially submerged sea caves are a European Species and Habitats Directive Annex 1 habitat. The cup coral Caryophyllia inornata, a Northern Ireland species of conservation concern, was found in this sea cave. -

Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891).

IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.
