Father Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich (aka Roger Joseph Boscovich) Provided by Doug Millison From Online Boscovich Bio "Two hundred years ago February 13, 1787 the Croatian Jesuit mathematician Roger Boscovich,S.J. died. He developed the first coherent description of atomic theory in his work Theoria Philosophiae Naturalis , which is one of the great attempts to understand the structure of the universe in a single idea. He held that bodies could not be composed of continuous matter, but of countless 'point-like structures'. In this work he states that the ultimate elements of matter are indivisible points 'atoms,' which are centers of force and this force varies in proportion to distance. What is remarkable is that his works appeared well over a century before the birth of modern atomic theory. "Robert Marsh, the author of Physics and Poets, credits Boscovich with the idea of a FIELD: Faraday and others took the idea from him. His influence on modern atomic physics is undoubted. Boscovich was a creative scientist and his inventions included the ring micrometer and an achromatic telescope. He was the first one to apply probability to the theory of errors. Later mathematicians such as Laplace and Gauss acknowledged their indebtedness to his pioneering work which led to Legendre's principle of least squares. "Well known all over Europe, Boscovich was later made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and today the name Boscovich is found on maps of the moon since a rather large lunar crater was named in his honor. Because of his prominence as a scholar, it was his influence that minimized the hostility of Catholic churchmen to the Copernican system.

Rudjer Joseph boscovich (first name also sometimes spelled Roger in English;Italian ruggero Giuseppe boscovich; Croatian and Serbian Ruder Josip Boškovic)
http://www.italylink.com/woi/famousitalians/rudjer_boscovich.html
Rudjer Joseph Boscovich (first name also sometimes spelled Roger in English; Italian Ruggero Giuseppe Boscovich; Croatian and Serbian Ruder Josip Boškovic) (May 18, 1711 – February 13, 1787), was a Jesuit, physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, diplomat and poet from Dubrovnik (or Ragusa, the previously frequently referred to Italian version) who later lived in England, France and finally Italy.
He is famous for his atomic theory, given as a clear, precisely-formulated system utilizing principles of Newtonian mechanics. This work inspired Michael Faraday to develop field theory for electromagnetic interaction. Boscovich also gave many important contributions to astronomy, including the first geometric procedure for determining the equator of a rotating planet from three observations of a surface feature and for computing the orbit of a planet from three observations of its position.
Early years
Boscovich was born in Dubrovnik, an independent republic at the time, as the seventh child of Nikola Boškovic, a trader from Herzegovina; and Paula Bettera, daughter of a local noble. The family was Catholic as Nikola converted to Catholicism to marry Paula. Rudjer Boscovich's ethnicity is a controversial issue; he has Italian heritage from his mother's side, while his Slavic heritage is disputed between the Croats who claim him due to the integration of Dubrovnik in the Croatian milieu, and the Serbs who claim him due to his father's reported descent from the noble Pokrajcic family from the village of Orahov Do in eastern Herzegovina.

Centro Preuniversitario di Fisica
Ruggero Boscovich Il Centro Preuniversitario di Fisica Ruggero Boscovich è nato su iniziativa di alcuni docenti di Fisica dell'Istituto Leone XIII.
Il nome di Ruggero Boscovich, gesuita, studioso insigne nel campo della Matematica, dell'Astronomia e della Fisica, dalla cui attività ricevette tra l'altro impulso decisivo l'osservatorio astronomico di Brera, è stato scelto per onorare la tradizione scientifica dei Padri della Compagnia di Gesù, che hanno accettato di ospitare l'attività del Centro Preuniversitario. Tale attività si esprime essenzialmente con una Scuola avanzata di Fisica a cui possono accedere gli studenti della media superiore di Milano e Provincia.
L'idea del Centro Preuniversitario di Fisica nasce da una visione insieme pessimistica e ottimistica della realtà scolastica italiana: da una grave preoccupazione ma insieme da una grande fiducia. I firmatari del manifesto partono dalla consapevolezza dello stato di grave crisi che sta attraversando la nostra scuola preuniversitaria (vedi esiti disastrosi, e in continuo peggioramento, dei test di ingresso alle facoltà universitarie), e sono animati dal convincimento:
  • che il problema dell'istruzione di alto livello si debba oggi percepire non come circoscritto agli interessi di una minoranza, ma come un problema le cui ricadute coinvolgono l'intera collettività;
