69. SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN the english mathematician GH Hardy received a strange letter from an unknownclerk Finally he met with modest success when the Indian mathematician http://www.usna.edu/Users/math/meh/ramanujan.html

Srinivasa Ramanujan It is one of the most romantic stories in the history of mathematics: in 1913, the English mathematician G. H. Hardy received a strange letter from an unknown clerk in Madras, India. The ten-page letter contained about 120 statements of theorems on infinite series, improper integrals, continued fractions, and number theory (Here is a .dvi file with a sample of these results). Every prominent mathematician gets letters from cranks, and at first glance Hardy no doubt put this letter in that class. But something about the formulas made him take a second look, and show it to his collaborator J. E. Littlewood. After a few hours, they concluded that the results "must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them". Thus was Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) introduced to the mathematical world. Born in South India, Ramanujan was a promising student, winning academic prizes in high school. But at age 16 his life took a decisive turn after he obtained a book titled A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics . The book was simply a compilation of thousands of mathematical results, most set down with little or no indication of proof. It was in no sense a mathematical classic; rather, it was written as an aid to coaching English mathematics students facing the notoriously difficult Tripos examination, which involved a great deal of wholesale memorization. But in Ramanujan it inspired a burst of feverish mathematical activity, as he worked through the book's results and beyond. Unfortunately, his total immersion in mathematics was disastrous for Ramanujan's academic career: ignoring all his other subjects, he repeatedly failed his college exams.

73. Introduction To Algebra: History Boolean algebra was formulated by the english mathematician George Boole in 1847.Logic had previously been largely the province of philosophers, http://www.geocities.com/mathfair2002/school/alg/alg0.htm

home stands games about ... links The History of Algebra Algebra provides a generalization of arithmetic by using symbols, usually letters, to represent numbers. For example, it is obviously true that This arithmetic statement can be generalized using algebra to x + y = y + x where x and y can be any number. Algebra has been studied for many centuries. Babylonian, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians proposed and solved problems in words, that is, using "rhetorical algebra". However, it was not until the 3rd century that algebraic problems began to be considered in a form similar to those studied today. In the 3rd century, the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria wrote his book Arithmetica . Of the 13 parts originally written, only six still survive, but they provide the earliest record of an attempt to use symbols to represent unknown quantities. Diophantus did not consider general methods in Arithmetica , but instead solved a large number of practical problems.

74. Logarithm In cooperation with the english mathematician Henry Briggs, Napier did adjusthis logarithms into the form in which it is usually found. http://www.thocp.net/reference/sciences/mathematics/logarithm_hist.htm

Logarithm you are here: Sciences Mathematics Many students when using logarithms, only memorize the rules, without fully understanding their concept. The basic concept of logarithms can be expressed as a shortcut. Multiplication is a shortcut for Addition: 3 x 5 means 5 + 5 + 5 Exponents are a shortcut for Multiplication: 4^3 means 4 x 4 x 4 Logarithms are a shortcut for Exponents: 10^2 = 100 The present definition of the logarithm is the exponent or power to which a stated number, called the base, is raised to yield a specific number. The logarithm of 100 to the base 10 is 2 This is written: log 10 100 = 2 Many people throughout time have been accredited with the production and development of logarithms. However, there is one man who is responsible for the invention of the logarithm. That man is the Scotsman, John Napier . Napier is placed within a short lineage of mathematical thinkers beginning with Archimedes and more recent geniuses, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Short bio of John Napier Napier not only "invented" logarithms, he had many other achievements in his lifetime. Among these accomplishments were revolutionary methods for tilling and fertilizing soil and a number of "Secret Inventions" to defend his country from Philip of Spain. These inventions include the round chariot with firepower and heavy protection (the idea behind the tank); an underwater ship (the submarine); and an artillery piece which would mow down a field of soldiers (the machine gun). It is rumored that while testing his machine gun, he took out an entire flock of sheep in a pasture outside of his estate. After witnessing the destructive power his invention possessed, he swore never to make another gun or give the information on how to make one to anyone.

During the 1840s and 1850s he developed a notational system that showed that logical statements could be represented by algebraic equations. Applied to set theory, Boolean algebra described the relationships between groups, reducing them to simple equations. His system, linking logic with mathematics, was instrumental in the development of digital computer systems.

A graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, Newton developed an intense interest in mathematics and the laws of nature which ultimately led to his two most famous works: Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687) and Opticks (1704). Newton helped define the laws of gravity and planetary motion, co-founded the field of calculus, and explained laws of light and color, among many other discoveries. A famous story suggests Newton discovered the laws of gravity by watching an apple fall from a tree, though there's no proof that this is true. Newton was knighted in 1705.

Mathematics History Prehistoric human beings probably learned to count at least up to ten on their fingers. The Chinese, Hindus, Babylonians, and Egyptians all devised methods of counting and measuring that were of practical importance in their everyday lives. The first theoretical mathematician is held to be Thales of Miletus (c. 580 BC) who is believed to have proposed the first theorems in plane geometry. His disciple Pythagoras established geometry as a recognized science among the Greeks. The later school of Alexandrian geometers (4th and 3rd centuries BC) included Euclid and Archimedes. Our present decimal numerals are based on a Hindu-Arabic system that reached Europe about AD 100 from Arab mathematicians of the Middle East such as Khwarizmi. Mathematics Chronology Table 2500 BC The people of Mesopotamia ( now Irq) developed a positional numbering (place-value) system, in which the value of a digit depends in its position in a number 2000 BC Mesopotamian mathematicians solved quadratic equations (algebraic equations in which the highest power of a variable is 2) 0876 BC A symbol for zero was used for the first time, in India
