Home Third Culture Digerati Reality Club The Third Culture RICHARD DAWKINS ON W.D. HAMILTON (1936-2000) W. D. Hamilton (1936 - 2000) W D Hamilton is a good candidate for the title of most distinguished Darwinian since Darwin. Other candidates would have to include R A Fisher, whom Hamilton revered as a young student at Cambridge. Hamilton resembled Fisher in his penetrating biological intuition and his ability to render it in mathematics. But, like Darwin and unlike Fisher, he was also a superb field naturalist and explorer. I suspect that, of all his twentieth century successors, Darwin would most have enjoyed talking to Hamilton. Partly because they could have swapped jungle tales and beetle lore, partly because both were gentle and deep, but mostly because Hamilton the theorist was responsible for clearing up so many of the very problems that had intrigued and tantalised Darwin. William Donald Hamilton FRS was Royal Society Research Professor in the Department of Zoology at Oxford, and a Professorial Fellow of New College. He was born in 1936, spent a happy childhood botanising and collecting butterflies in Kent, was educated at Tonbridge, then Cambridge where he read Genetics. For his Ph.D. he moved to London where he was jointly enrolled at University College and LSE. He became a Lecturer at Imperial College in 1964, where his teaching skills were not highly rated. After a brief Visiting Professorship at Harvard, he accepted a Museum Professorship at the University of Michigan in 1977. Finally, in 1984 he moved to Oxford at the invitation of Richard Southwood, who had been his Professor at Imperial.

She [2]:- ... was entirely equal to the task; there is no evidence that the family ever felt either financial anxiety or the absence of a father's hand. William was educated at a variety of Scottish and English schools before entering the University of Glasgow when he was 12 years old to study Greek and Latin. At this time the Scottish Universities competed with the schools for the most able pupils so it is not surprising that he entered university at such a young age. He continued to study logic and moral philosophy at Glasgow before entering the University of Edinburgh in 1806 to study medicine.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality Irish Hamilton, William Rowan (1805-1865) Irish mathematician who was born at midnight on August 3/4, 1805, so there is some confusion over his birthdate. As a child, his linguist uncle James taught him 14 languages (Bell 1986, p. 341). Hamilton taught himself mathematics at age 17, and discovered an error in Laplace's Celestial Mechanics. He predicted conical refraction in biaxial crystals, which was soon experimentally observed by Lloyd. Hamilton also extended the least action principle described earlier by Maupertuis Hamilton developed the mathematical theory of quaternions which is an anticommutative algebra. Anticommutative algebra was later found to have important applications to quantum mechanics The idea for quaternions occurred to Hamilton while be was walking along the Royal Canal on his way to a meeting of the Irish Academy, and was so pleased with his discovery that he scratched the fundamental formula of quaternion algebra, into the stone of the Brougham bridge (Mishchenko and Solovyov 2000). Hamilton was an alcoholic for the last third of his life.

33. On A General Method Of Expressing The Paths Of Light, And Of The Planets, By The An original paper by william Rowan hamilton, dated 1833. http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Hamilton/LightPlanets/LightPlanets.h

On a general Method of expressing the Paths of Light, and of the Planets, by the Coefficients of a Characteristic Function By William R. Hamilton, Royal Astronomer of Ireland [Dublin University Review and Quarterly Magazine, Vol. I, 1833, pp. 795-826.] By such steps, then, it has become an established theorem, fundamental in optical science, that the communication, whether between an illuminating body and a body illuminated, or between an object seen and a beholding eye, is effected by the gradual but very rapid passage of some thing, or influence, or state, called light, from the luminous or visible body, along mathematical or physical lines, usually called rays , and found to be, under the most common circumstances, exactly or nearly straight. Another early and important observation, was that of the broken or refracted lines of communication, between an object in water and an eye in air, and generally between a point in one ordinary medium and a point in another. A valuable series of experiments on such refraction was made and recorded by Ptolemy; but it was not till long afterwards that the law was discovered by Snellius. He found that if two lengths, in a certain ratio or proportion determined by the natures of the two media, be measured, from the point of breaking, or of bending, on the refracted ray and on the incident ray prolonged, these lengths have one common projection on the refracting surface, or on its tangent plane. This law of ordinary refraction has since been improved by Newton's discovery of the different refrangibility of the differently coloured rays; and has been applied to explain and to calculate the apparent elevation of the stars, produced by the atmosphere of the earth.

In 1836 he was elected to the chair of logic and metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh, and held the position till his death.

In July, 1844, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which made him practically an invalid for the rest of his life.

His contribution to logic was the now well-known theory of the quantification of the predicate, by which he became the forerunner of the present algebraic school of logicians.

The Enlightenment Background While Scottish philosophy of the 18 th century is studied extensively, Scottish philosophy in the 19 th century is neglected to the point of being virtually unknown. Francis Hutcheson, David Hume and Thomas Reid and are names familiar to almost all philosophers; Sir William Hamilton, James Frederick Ferrier, Alexander Bain, Edward Caird and Andrew Seth to hardly any. Yet in their day, the names of these philosophers were not only prominent in Scotland, but widely known across Europe. To understand this decline in reputation, it is necessary to see 19 th century Scottish philosophy against the background of the century that preceded it.
