Forming the Analytical Society at Cambridge University
Forming the Analytical Society at Cambridge University Richard Stout Gordon College Wenham, MA The Analytical Society, an organization begun by students at Cambridge, was founded in 1812. Even though it was entirely student-led, the society was responsible for significant changes in the Cambridge mathematics curriculum and in the way mathematics was perceived in Britain throughout the nineteenth century. Its success was likely due to the outstanding students who formed the group, some of whom went on to become leaders in British science and mathematics for the next fifty years. In this paper we will briefly look at several of those who played important roles in forming and leading the society and we will consider the circumstances leading to its formation. In the fall of 1809, John Frederick William Herschel (1792 – 1871) matriculated at St. John’s College, one of the two largest colleges at Cambridge University. A serious student of mathematics, Herschel came from a privileged, upper-class family. When it didn’t work out for Herschel to be away at school, his family was able to hire a private tutor and allow Herschel to finish his education at home. Because his father, William Herschel, was a world-renowned astronomer--he discovered the planet Uranus--John Herschel likely grew up accustomed to scientific talk and held to high expectations. At Cambridge Herschel would distinguish himself as a superior student, finishing as the senior wrangler in 1813. After graduating from Cambridge Herschel was elected to the Royal Society and became a fellow of St. John’s. Although he continued to do mathematics for several years, primarily as an avocation, Herschel eventually followed in his father’s footsteps and became a distinguished astronomer. -

Memoir of Augustus De Morgan

I 5rBD hardly say that in the following pages I have not attempted a scientific memoir. My object has been to supply that part of my husband's life the material for which would not be within the reach of another biographer. The selection from his letters might have been much larger, if I could in all cases have inserted those of his correspondents. Without these many would have been incomprehensible. As it is, I may have over-estimated the attention which readers will be disposed to give to them. My rule in choosing the letters has been to take those which are moat characteristic of the writer, and in this way to give to readers already acquainted with him through his writings a more familiar knowledge of hiin as a man. His connection with University College, and the events which led to his leaviug it, are necessarily made promi nent. So long a time has elapsed since their occurrence, and I have known so little during that time of the Institu tion, that I cannot even surmise how the present Council would in like circumstances share the convictions or con- 6rm the action of its predecessors. After the lapse of sixteen vears I trust that the narrative will provoke no revival of the somewhat acrimonious controversy which ensued. It might perhaps have been in some ways VI PREFACE. -
