    Extractions: September 2000 ISBN 1 900621 49 5 Launched by the President of the Royal Irish Academy in Academy House on 3rd October 2000 Front cover Blurb Foreword by Professor David Spearman, President of the Royal Irish Academy Introduction Contents Reviews Front cover Blurb Most people who have included science in their secondary education will have come across the name of Kelvin. Lord Kelvin of Largs, otherwise know as William Thomson, was born in Belfast in 1824. He is arguably the best known Irish mathematician/physicist , famous for his work in thermodynamics, which led to the absolute scale of temperature being named after him, and for the part he played in getting the first Trans-Atlantic telephone cable from Ireland to America to work. Some people may have heard also of William Rowan Hamilton, the inventor of quaternions, a form of algebra, and may know that he carved the basic formulae into the stone of Brougham Bridge in Dublin. George Boole is another Irish mathematician who may be known to many. His Boolean algebra is the basis of the mathematics of computers. These three lived all or most of their lives in the 19th Century, but their influence on the world scene is still being felt. So too is the work of many more mathematicians with Irish connections and this book tells the stories of eighteen of them who lived and worked and died sometime between 1560 and 1992. These biographies are intended to give the enquiring lay person some insights into each person's work and each person's private life. The reader does not need specialist mathematical knowledge to follow them. Together they present a picture of Irish success in the international worlds of mathematics, statistics and physics.

    Extractions: For anyone studying the history of mathematics, it is crucial that you learn to use the resources in the library. This web page indicates the types of things that we will look at during our library tour. This page has been posted to assist anyone whose memory is faulty. We begin at the Mathematics Department Library. When we enter we immediately notice the display about BG (Ret) Jack Polin who served as Head of the department from 1974 to 1985. For our use, undoubtedly the most important work in this library is the Nota Bene: If you click on the call numbers in this document and then click on it again on the page which appears, you will get the full reference in the USMA library catalog. This is useful because it contains biographical information about deceased mathematicians and also describes their work. This work in four volumes is a subset (only the mathematicians are chosen) of a work in the reference section of the main library: Dictionary of scientific biography Charles Coulston Gillispie, editor in chief.

    Extractions: Although she was not on the faculty officially, she was working with David Hilbert at the University of Gottingen in Germany. She was invited to join his team of mathematicians who were working on Hilbert's foray into mathematical physics. In fact, many historians today give credit to Hilbert for the "final form" of the equations describing general relativity theory. Apparently, both he and Einstein produced the same equations at about the same time: fall of 1915!

    Extractions: December 17, 1706 - September 10, 1749 In a society where nobility disliked the notion of education for their daughters arose one of the great mathematicians of the eighteenth century, Frenchwoman, Emilie du Chatelet. Born in Paris on December 17, 1706, she grew up in a household where the art of courting was the only way one could mold a place in society. During her early childhood, Emilie began to show such promise in the area of academics that soon she was able to convince her father that she needed attention. Provided with a relatively good education for the time, she studied and soon mastered Latin, Italian and English. She also studied Tasso, Virgil, Milton and other great scholars of the time. In spite of her talents in the area of languages, her true love was mathematics. Her study in this area was encouraged by a family friend, M. de Mezieres, who recognized the young lady's talent. Emilie's work in mathematics was rarely original or as captivating as that of other female mathematicians but it was substantive. The fact that it was accomplished in the first place is in itself remarkable. Emilie's astuteness was prominent in other areas as well. She was described as being somewhat of a "passionate nature", never lacking for romantic attachments either before or after her marriage. At the age of nineteen she married the thirty-four-year-old Marquis du Chatelet. During the first two years of their marriage, Emilie gave birth to a boy and a girl, and later the birth of another son followed when she was twenty-seven. Neither children nor her husband deterred her from fully indulging in the social life of the court.

    Extractions: "These pages are part of an on-going project by students in mathematics classes at Agnes Scott College, in Atlanta, Georgia, to illustrate the numerous achievements of women in the field of mathematics. There are brief comments on many of the women mathematicians and some photos (which look best at more than 256 colors). Our goal is for this list to continue to expand, and for more biographies to be completed." Not all entries are complete, but the ones that are include references. There are also links to excellent resources on the topic of women and mathematics.
