< b [read, a is included in b] is defined by any one of the following equetions a + b = b, ab = a, a' + b = U, ab' = Z.'' To see that these are reasonable, consider for example the second, ab = a. This states that if a is included in b, then everything that is in both a and b is the whole of a. From the stated postulates the following theorems on inclusion (with thousands of more complicated ones, if desired) can be proved. The specimens selected all agree with our intuitive conception of what "inclusion" means. (I) a < a. (2) If a < b and b < c, then a < c. (3) If a < b and b < a, then a = b. (4) Z < a (where Z is the element in II ait is proved to be the only element satisfying II a). (~) a < U (where U is the element in II blikewise unique). (6) a < a + b; and if a < y and b < y, then a + b < y. (7) ab < a; and if c < a and x < b, then c < ab. (8) If cc < a and cc < e', then c = Z; and if a < y and a' < y, th~n y = U. (9) If a < b' is false, then there is at least one element cc, distinct from Z, such that x < a and x < b It may be of interest to observe that " < " in arithmetic and analysis is the symbol for ''less than." Note that if a, b, c, . . . are real numbers, and Z denotes zero, then (2) is satisfied for this interpretation of ''

Teaching Mathematics: A Brief History
The growth of mathematics has always been accompanied by the evolution of ways of communicating it, i.e., teaching and learning, but only recently did this art become an academic discipline of its own, increasingly separated from its parent. In the past it had been the business of mathematicians with taste and talent for teaching. Leaving aside Antiquity (and everything non-occidental), the Renaissance shows teachers of computation flourishing all over Europe, e.g., Luca Pacioli Adam Ries Simon Stevin . One of the best English mathematicians of the 16th century, Robert Recorde , published two books suitable for school as well as self-study: "The Grounde of Artes" (arithmetic) and "The Whetstone of Witte" (algebra). The former, written in 1542, begins as follows: "Sore oftentimes have I lamented with myself the infortunate condition of England, seying so many great clerkes to aryse in sundry other partes of the worlde, and so few to apere in this our nation: whereas for excellencye of naturall wytte (I thynke) fewe nations dooe matche englishmen. But I cannot impute the cause to anye other thynge, than to the contempt or mysregarde of learnynge." "Quantitative Literacy"

British Contemporaries of Newton, Taylor, Maclaurin and Simpson
From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. David Gregory Halley Ditton Cotes ... Stewart It was almost a matter of course that the English should at first have adopted the notation of Newton in the infinitesimal calculus in preference to that of Leibnitz and consequently the English school would in any case have developed on somewhat different lines to that on the continent, where a knowledge of the infinitesimal calculus was derived solely from Leibnitz and the Bernoullis. But this separation into two distinct schools became very marked owing to the action of Leibnitz and John Bernoulli, which was naturally resented by Newton's friends; and so for forty or fifty years, to the disadvantage of both sides, the quarrel raged. The leading members of the English school were Cotes Demoivre Ditton David Gregory Halley Maclaurin Simpson , and Taylor . I may, however, again remind my readers that as we approach modern times the number of capable mathematicians in Britain, France, Germany and Italy becomes very considerable, but that in a popular sketch like this book it is only the leading men whom I propose to mention. To David Gregory, Halley and Ditton I need devote but few words.

Version for printing Christopher Wren 's father was also called Christopher Wren. Christopher Wren senior was a well educated man, having graduated from St John's College Oxford before entering the Church. He became rector of Fonthill, Wiltshire in 1620 and then East Knoyle, Wiltshire in 1623. He married Mary Cox, the only child of the Wiltshire squire Robert Cox from Fonthill, and it was while they were living at East Knoyle that all their children were born. Mary, Catherine, and Susan were all born by 1628 but then several children were born who died within a few weeks of their birth. Their son Christopher was born in 1632 then, two years later, another daughter named Elizabeth was born. Mary must have died shortly after the birth of Elizabeth, although there does not appear to be any surviving record of the date. Through Mary, however, the family became well off financially for, as the only heir, she had inherited her father's estate. In 1634 Christopher Wren senior was offered the position of Dean of Windsor, a post held by his brother Mathew Wren who was becoming Bishop of Hereford. Christopher Wren senior was installed as Dean on 4 April 1635 and there the young Christopher was brought up by his father and by an older sister who slotted into the role of a mother to him. He grew up with the close friendship of another relation, for his uncle Mathew Wren had a son, also called Mathew Wren, who became part of Christopher's close family. Another childhood friend was the son of Charles I, the Prince of Wales, and they often played together.

Historically, mathematics developed from counting calculation measurement , and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects, through the use of abstraction and deductive reasoning Mathematics is also used to refer to the insight gained by people by doing mathematics, also known as the body of mathematical knowledge. This latter meaning of mathematics includes the mathematics used to do calculations or models and is an indispensable tool in the natural sciences engineering and economics The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek m¡thema ) meaning "science, knowledge, or learning" and μαθηματικός ( mathematik³s ) meaning "fond of learning".

Version for printing John Wallis 's father was the Reverend John Wallis who had become a minister in Ashford in 1602. He was a highly respected man known widely in the area. The Reverend Wallis married Joanna Chapman, who was his second wife, in 1612 and John was the third of their five children. When young John was about six years old his father died. John went to school in Ashford but an outbreak of the plague in the area led to his mother to decide that it would be best for him to move away. He went to James Movat's grammar school in Tenterden, Kent, in 1625 where he first showed his great potential as a scholar. Writing in his autobiography, Wallis comments [28]:- It was always my affection, even from a child, not only to learn by rote, but to know the grounds or reasons of what I learnt; to inform my judgement as well as to furnish my memory. In 1630, still only 13 years of age, he considered himself ready for university [28]:-

Astrotales
Why an argument between two great mathematicians kept the english from understanding and utilizing calculus for two decades
The argument began with Newton discovering calculus at least 3 years before Leibniz independently developed it. Because Newton was loathe to publish his works (he hated disputes and disagreements), Newton's papers appeared after Leibniz. Newton's distaste for argument did not prevent him from claiming priority over Leibniz and so ensued a battle between the 2 mathematicians that made them both look like fools in front of their peers.
Because Newton's explication of calculus was much more difficult to understand, Englishmen loyal to Newton as an English mathematician caused calculus to be restricted to only those who could understand Newton's notations and methods.
