The first recorded Chancellor was elected by 1246. Town and gown riots occurred in Cambridge as well and in 1381 all the university records were publicly burned, resulting in considerable obscurity about the early history of the university. The Cambridge system has undergone many changes, but from 1747-1748 until 1910 there was an extended examination, called the Tripos, and the top students were ranked in order as senior wrangler, second wrangler, ....

O N G EOMETRIC T RUTH. (EXPLANATORY OF CHAP. I.) Mere words of natural significance fail to interpret spiritual ideas unless a figurative meaning can be added to them. By type and symbol alone can the essence of Truth be conveyed. In myth and parable the poet, prophet and religious teacher in all time present to us the realisations of their spiritual sense. And not in the imagery of words alone, but in architecture, and its allied arts, some of the most sublime of human conceptions have been conveyed. Architecture has been the interpreter to man of the Universal Truths, those which express the Mind and Works of the Creator, for Architecture is the witness to the Formative principles which underlie Nature, and speaks of the Immutable Foundations. And these are expressed in the symmetry of geometric forms, co-related by Measure and Number. Thus Architecture constitutes a higher language adapted to sacred uses. Now in the Greek Gematria we have what may be termed the Architecture of Language , for the Gematria unites both elements, both modes of expression, and in a wonderful accord, since words are therein related in their sense to Number, by their Number to Geometry, and by their Geometry again to Building.

Cubes Feature Column Archive 2. Some history The origins of n -dimensional geometry have many roots. One stimulus to the development of n -dimensional geometry was the general ferment that resulted from the realization that Euclid's 5th postulate was independent of his other postulates. As unintuitive as the possibility initially seemed, there was a plane geometry which stood on an equal mathematical basis to Euclidean geometry and in which given a point P not on a line l , there were infinitely many lines through P parallel to l . The attention that the geometry developed by Janos Bolyai and Nicholai Lobachevsky fostered resulted in many attempts to put geometry into a broader context. Geometry did not end with the tradition handed down via Euclid's Elements and the analytical geometrical ideas that algebratized what Euclid had done. There appears to be some consensus that it was Arthur Cayley (1821-1895), a British mathematician who earned a living by being a lawyer, who first called attention to the need for a systematic study of the properties of geometry in n dimensions. Cayley did this work partly in connection with his efforts to understand the relationships between Euclidean ideas and projective geometry.

Women in Mathematics An Internet WebQuest on Women in Mathematics created by Julie Santoni, Connie Codner, and Pam Santino Sandwich Public Schools Introduction The Task HyperText Dictionary Introduction Have you ever heard of Hypatia or Agnesi. Odds are you haven't. Hypatia was stoned to death for her beliefs and when Agnesi had her book translated her theory was known as 'the witch of Agnesi'. These two women along with many more have made substantial contributions to the area of mathematics. The Quest The Association for Women in Mathematics has asked that a team be put together to enlighten the world to these important mathematicians. Individually you will become an expert on 1 mathematician. You will use your information to create a short biography. As a team you will use your individual research to create a timeline to show that women have been engaged in math for thousands of years. Then as a class you will create an all inclusive timeline. Using infromation you have gathered you will also use a world map to pinpoint the place of birth of your mathematician. The Process and Resources In this WebQuest you will be working together with a group of students in class. Each group will answer the Task or Quest(ion). As a member of the group you will explore Webpages from people all over the world who care about Women in Mathematics. Because these are real Webpages we're tapping into, not things made just for schools, the reading level might challenge you. Feel free to use the online Webster dictionary or one in your classroom.

Euclidean geometry Polytope In geometry polytope means, first, the generalization to any dimension of polygon in two dimensions, and polyhedron in three dimensions. Beyond that, the term is used for a variety of related mathematical concepts. This is analogous to the way the term square may be used to refer to a square-shaped region of the plane, or just to its boundary, or even to a mere list of its vertices and edges along with some information about the way they are connected. The term was coined by Alicia Boole , the daughter of logician George Boole The Platonic solids , or regular polytopes in three dimensions, were a major focus of study of ancient Greek mathematicians (most notably Euclid's Elements ), probably because of their intrinsic aesthetic qualities. In modern times, polytopes and related concepts have found important applications in Computer graphics Optimization , and numerous other fields.

To get a better idea of just what these "polytopes" are, one should read H.S.M. Coxeter's "Regular Polytopes" . Briefly, plane polygons are two-dimensional polytopes, and polyhedra, three-dimensional polytopes. Where polygons are bounded by line segments, and polyhedra by polygons, a 4-polytope is bounded by polyhedra. Just as we may have any number of planes in three dimensions, in 4-space we may have any number of 3-spaces. Two 3-spaces might be a millionth of an inch apart and yet have no common point (thus the popular idea of parallel universes). It follows that, given a fixed direction in the 4-space, we can take solid sections of objects in the 4-space, perpendicular to that direction. If you find these concepts difficult, you are not alone. Even when a person is blessed with some extraordinary faculty for visualizing objects in higher spaceas was Alicia Boole Stott, a century agoit is a matter of years, and considerable patience, before much progress is made in the subject.

KING OF INFINITE SPACE by Siobhan Roberts King of Infinite Space combines two best-selling categories, popular science and biography, to reveal the impact of geometry on everyday life. It makes geometry accessible through the fascinating life of the 20th century's greatest classical geometer. Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, New York Times best-selling author of The Elegant Universe, declares that geometry is the language crucial to explaining and uncovering the universe in which we live; there is perhaps no better way to anticipate the scientific breakthroughs of the future, he says, than through the knowledge and evolution of geometry. In this sense, for the masses of readers who are eager for books that make science approachable, Coxeter's biography opens a new window onto geometry and our universe — his life story leads to the discovery of how pure geometry makes unexpected and practical appearances in our everyday life, and how society would be impoverished and incomplete if classical geometry was driven to extinction. Indeed, as Walter Whiteley, director of applied geometry at Toronto's York University reckons, we would suffer a "geometry gap." King of Infinite Space For the readers who make popular science books bestsellers and the math hounds worldwide who idolize Coxeter, this biography is an engaging twining of tales about the man who saved geometry and about how geometry may very well save the world, or at least explain it better than it has ever been explained before.

King of Infinite Space combines two best-selling categories, popular science and biography, to reveal the impact of geometry on everyday life and make it accessible through the fascinating life of the world's greatest living classical geometer. It is based on the author's article in the January 2003 issue of Toronto Life , as well exclusive access to the subject and his journals, archives, associates, family and friends.
