Favorite Sites Webquest The Historical Roots of the Calculus "As its campfires glow against the dark, every culture tells stories to itself about how the gods lit up the morning sky and set the wheel of being into motion. The great scientific culture of the Westour cultureis no exception. The calculus is the story this world first told itself as it became the modern world." Introduction Calculus is a subject many students dread. It is the way mathematicians study moving objects, even fluids like the movement of air across an aircraft wing that gives it lift making flight possible. It was calculus that first allowed Newton to describe the motion of planets. Calculus made modern science possible and no physical theory has ever broken the link to the calculus. Length, Volume, Area, these are static. If you want to study motion, you must study the calculus. "The overall structure of the calculus is simple. The subject is defined by a fantastic leading idea, one basic axiom, a calm and profound intellectual invention, a deep property, two crucial definitions, one ancillary definition, one major theorem, and the fundamental theorem of the calculus.

    Extractions: Stanford Report, November 6, 2002 Scholars decode ancient text, shake up pre-calculus history BY JOHN SANFORD Reviel Netz, an assistant professor of classics, might not have actually shouted "Eureka!" on a visit last year to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, but that's what he was thinking. A scholar of Greek mathematics, Netz was hanging out with one of his colleagues and frequent collaborators, Professor Ken Saito of the Osaka Prefecture University in Japan, when they flew together to Baltimore in January 2001 to look at a recently rediscovered codex of Archimedes treatises. "It was basically just tourism," Netz recalled. On a lark they examined a theretofore unread section of The Method of Mechanical Theorems , which is the book's biggest claim to fame; no other copy of the work is known to exist. What they discovered made their jaws drop. A section from The Archimedes Palimpsest, which classics Professor Reviel Netz stumbled on during a visit to the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. Closer examination showed the Greeks understood the concept of infinity. ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, WALTERS ART MUSEUM, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

    Extractions: A (Very) Short Note on the History of Vector Calculus Two traditions have been associated with the development of the concepts of a vector and vector operations. Since the time of Babylonians and Egyptians, there have been attempts to extend the notion of a (natural) number. (Natural numbers are numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) Successive generalizations have added negative numbers, zero, fractions and irrational numbers, forming what is now known as the set of real numbers. An attempt to solve the equation x ^2 + 1 = led to the discovery of complex numbers, and their geometric interpretation in a two-dimensional coordinate system to the discovery of a vector. The second tradition relates to an eternal search for (mathematical) entities that could best describe physical phenomena. It suffices to use a single number (and a unit of measurement) to describe the distance between two cities, the area of a lake or the temperature on the surface of the Earth. However, to convey information on the velocity of a wind or on the attractive force of a planet, one needs to specify not only a number, but also a direction. Although, for instance, temperature is a scalar (scalar, in our context, is a synonym for a real number), the way it changes cannot be described using a number only if we fly south from Toronto we will experience an increase in the air temperature; but the temperature will decrease if we fly north. The need to describe a

Both versions are included in the compressed files below. The matrix package, offering user-controlled application of trace identities and the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, can also be used for symbolic matrix calculations. Version 3.3.5 allows Wedge and d to act on expressions that are series expansions ( SeriesData objects).

95. Focus On Calculus:
    Topics in calculus that are important in physics  
    http://omega.albany.edu:8008/mat214dir/Baierlein.html
    
    Extractions: What topics in calculus would physicists like to see their students learn? A lot of topics, of course, but the need to economize in this article forces me to economize in what I might ask of a calculus teacher, who is strapped for time, if not for space. Here are some highlights- some areas of especial concern to the study of physics. Exponentials and logarithms That the derivative of an exponential function is proportional to the function itself is the most important property of those functions. A physicist would like to start with that property, as displayed here: Numerical exploration with base (b=2) yields a coefficient of b X that is less than 1; trying (b = 10) yields a coefficient greater than 1. In between 2 and 10 there ought to be a number that yields 1, and thereby e enters the scene. Then it is a matter of small, relatively easy steps to develop the topic and to finish with ln y as the integral of one-over-x dx. That logarithmic relation always puzzles students, and so it is best to place it last, not at the start, where it might derail the entire development. Expansions and approximations Almost every ``exactly-solved'' problem in physics is based on some initial approximation. To be sure, solutions have become famous as exact solutions to nonlinear differential equations, but those equations themselves are merely approximations to more fundamental equations. Physics students need to become handy with the Taylor expansion and the binomial expansion. Their level of expertise should enable them to apply those expansions to functions like

    Extractions: Fred Rickey's History of Mathematics Page There are two groups in the US which meet regularly and read original sources. ORESME meets in the Cincinnatti area and ARITHMOS meets at Western Connecticut State Universtity. Full details are available on their web sites. Here is some additional information: Both groups have read some of the works of Georg Cantor (here are some works by and about him ). ARITHMOS has discussed John Wallis and also had a meeting about Twentieth Century Logic where they read papers by Church Turing Post's critique ), and Post . Of necessity, these groups are small, but if you have a serious interest in history you ought to think of starting your own. The February 2005 meeting deals with Euler's Introductio . I have written a A Reader's Guide to Euler's Introductio . Here is a list of errata in Blanton's translation of Euler's Introductio. Dominic Klyve and Lee Stemkoski, graduate students at Dartmouth, have a page listing all of Euler's publications , and copies of some of them. Links to History of Mathematics on the web.
