Science Thomas Harriot Thomas Harriot (1560-1621) Nothing is known of Harriot's life up to the time when, at age seventeen, he matriculated at the University of Oxford. The record states that he was from the county of Oxford and that his father was a commoner. Harriot studied at St. Mary's Hall, took his degree in 1580, and went to London. Here he was employed by Sir Walter Ralegh and in 1585 went with the expedition to Virginia organized by Ralegh as cartographer and one versed in the theory of navigationin our terms, as staff scientist. Harriot returned in 1586 and wrote an account of Virginia and its natives, A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia , published in 1588. In the meantime, Harriot had joined Ralegh in Ireland, which the English were colonizing at that time. Ralegh granted Harriot a former abbey, where Harriot lived for a few years. Back in London, Harriot came into contact with William Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland, and in 1598 he left Ralegh and entered the service of Northumberland, who gave him a pension and living quarters (and later a separate house) at Syon House, just west of London. In 1605 Harriot was briefly imprisoned along with Northumberland as a result of the Gunpowder Plot. Harriot was quickly released but the earl remained in the Tower of London until 1622. Harriot lived at Syon for the rest of his life. In 1613 he developed an cancerous ulcer (on his nostril), which was the eventual cause of his death.

During his lifetime there were all sorts of stories about Harriot's atheism, centering on the charge that he challenged the universal authority of Scripture. There seems to be no doubt that he held atomistic views, which had the potential at least to be in conflict with orthodoxy. Nevertheless, I list Heterodoxy with grave doubts. Neither I nor anyone else has been able to find solid evidence to support the rumors. The rumors themselves began with a Jesuit diatribe of 1592 against the religious order in England; that hardly increases my confidence in the truth of the rumors.

http://www.alexanderstreet2.com/EENALive/bios/A6664BIO.html
Harriot, Thomas, 1560-1621 Thomas Harriot , the mathematician and astronomer who instructed and advised Sir Walter Raleigh's colonization attempts in Virginia, was born in the nondescript "Oxfordshire" in England in 1560. Little documentation of Harriot's life exists before his 1576 matriculation to St. Mary's Hall of Oriel College, Oxford. He enrolled in the University of Oxford in 1577, and after his 1580 graduation, Thomas Harriot moved to London, where he provided mathematical tutoring wealthy patrons. Walter Raleigh's half-brother, Gilbert Humphrey, was likely one of Harriot's pupils. By 1583, Harriot's employment consisted of providing mathematical instruction to Raleigh's navigators at his patron's Durham House on the Strand, from the roof of which Harriot also conducted astronomical observations. In 1584, Thomas Harriot began a study of the Algonquin language from natives brought back that fall by Raleigh's men. He mastered this skill well enough to converse with the North Carolina Indians when, in 1585, he accompanied Richard Grenville's colonization expedition to Roanoke Island. In the newly discovered "Virginia," Thomas Harriot and artist John White spent ten months exploring the floral and faunal resources of the region. They traveled up and mapped the coast Atlantic coast from Pamlico Sound to the Chesapeake Bay - creating the first accurate map of any part of North America - and they studied the religion, social structure and culture of the local inhabitants. Although White and Harriot lost many of their papers in the 1586 abandonment of the Roanoke Island, they maintained sufficient notes and illustrations to pen in 1587

THOMAS HARRIOT, TRUMPTER OF ROANOKE
Explorer, navigational expert, mathematician, scientist and astronomer Thomas Harriot was born in Oxford about 1560. In 1577 he entered St. Mary's Hall (a subsidiary of Oriel College) and in 1580, shortly after he was graduated B.A., he joined the household of Walter Ralegh. There he prepared Arcticon , a navigational text which has not survived. He also encouraged Ralegh to follow in the footsteps of Sir Humphrey Gilbert in exploring and colonizing the New World. After Gilbert's death in 1583, Ralegh, with Harriot's help, prepared for an expedition to America. Although Ralegh hoped to command the 1584 voyage, Queen Elizabeth would not permit him to do so. Harriot may have gone on this voyage because there is some evidence that it was at this time that he learned the Algonquian language. By the summer of 1586, when Sir Francis Drake arrived, the colonists were in dire straits. Supplies were low and the Indians unfriendly. He gave them a ship; however, a storm forced it out to sea. He then offered the colonists passage home. In their haste to depart much of the work of Harriot and White was lost. Although Ralegh sent a second colony to Roanoke Island in 1587, he also had a colonial venture in Ireland where Harriot joined him and lived at the Abbey of Molanna near Youghal in County Waterford. There he prepared for publication the first English treatise on the new world.

THOMAS CAVENDISH
Better known as the second Englishman to lead an expedition around the world, Thomas Cavendish also played an important role in the expeditions know as the Roanoke Voyages. In 1585 he participated with Sir Richard Grenville in planting the Ralph Lane colony by bringing his ship Elizabeth to the area now known as North Carolina. Born at Grimston Hall near the port of Harwich in Suffolk, England, circa 1555, Cavendish, like many others of his generation and class, turned to piracy in order to make his fortune. His first recorded adventure was the 1585 voyage to Roanoke Island. In addition to Cavendish's Elizabeth (50 tuns), Grenville and Lane sailed with Tyger (160 tuns), Roebuck (140 tuns), Lyon (100 tuns) and two smaller pinnaces. They departed from Plymouth on 9 April 1585 and planned for the fleet to sail together to the West Indies via the Canary Islands; however, in bad weather off the coast of Portugal, one of the pinnaces sank and the other ships separated. In his ship Tyger , Grenville sailed on alone to the rendezvous point off Puerto Rico where he constructed a fortification and built a new pinnace.

Cannonballs and Honeycombs
Thomas C. Hales
Harriot and Kepler
The pyramid stacking of oranges is known to chemists as the face-centered cubic packing . It is also known as the cannonball packing, because it is commonly used for that purpose at war memorials. The oldest example I have seen is the pyramid of cannonballs from the 16th century that rests in front of the City Museum of Munich. Formulas for the number of cannonballs stacked in mounds have been known this long. In the 16th century, Sir Walter Raleigh gave his mathematical assistant, Thomas Harriot, the task of finding the formula. Harriot did this without difficulty. As Harriot grew in reputation as a scientist, spheres became a favorite topic of his. To him, atoms were spheres. To understand how they stack together is to understand nature. Numbers were spheres. In the tradition of Pythagoras, triangular numbers are stacked like billiard balls set in a triangle. Harriot draws Pascal's triangle, but with a sphere packing with that many spheres replacing each number. In 1606, Kepler complained that his recent book on optics was based entirely on theology. He turned for help to Harriot, who had been conducting experiments in optics for years. In fact, Harriot's knowledge of optics was so advanced that he had discovered Snell's law - 20 years before Snell and 40 years before Descartes. Harriot supplied Kepler with valuable data in optics, but he also tried to persuade Kepler that the deeper mysteries of optics would be unfolded through atomism. Unlike Kepler, Harriot was an ardent atomist, believing that the secrets of the universe were to be revealed through the patterns and packings of small, spherical atoms. Kepler was skeptical. Nature abhors a vacuum, and between the atoms lies the void.

Born in 1560, Harriot spend his life under the patronage of wealthy nobles, first by Lord Walter Raleigh upon graduating from Oxford, and then starting in 1593 by Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland. Harriot kept regular correspondence with other scientists and mathematicians, especially in England but also in mainland Europe, notably with Kepler . For unknown reasons, Harriot refrained from publishing most of his scientific work, with the exception of his observations as scientist to Lord Raleigh's 1585 expedition to the New World, published in 1588. He however left many notebooks of scientific observations, which were only uncovered much later in the late eighteenth century, and not properly studied for another 100 years thereafter. Harriot's early telescopic observations rival those of Galileo and contemporaries. Starting in July 1609 he observed the moon regularly, apparently for the purpose of determining the distance of the Sun using

Biographical Note
Thomas Harriot
Few facts are known about the early years of British astronomer, mathematician, and scientist Thomas Harriot (1560-1621). Harriot graduated from St. Mary's, Oxford, with a B. A. on February 12, 1580. Shortly thereafter, he became acquainted with Sir Walter Raleigh, who was his friend until Raleigh's death forty years later. Harriot accompanied the famed party sent by Raleigh to colonize Virginia (present-day North Carolina) in 1585, acting as surveyor, cartographer, and scientific advisor. Upon his return to England, he published his Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588) and was introduced to the Earl of Northumberland. Impressed by Harriot's talents, Northumberland offered Harriot a pension double that of other men, such as the geographer Robert Hues and the mathematician Walter Warner, under his patronage. Financially supported for many decades by both Northumberland and his friend Raleigh, Harriot was thus able to devote himself to a lifetime of study and research.

The untold story of Thomas Harriot, the greatest scientist you've never heard of
Everyone knows Galileo was the first astronomer to point a telescope at the night sky. But like many facts that everyone knows, this one isn't true. Precedence should probably go to Thomas Harriot. What Harriot didn't do was publish his observations. Being first is important, but so is publicity. Harriot was an Englishman best known for writing an early natural history of North America. In 1585 he sailed west for his sponsor, Sir Walter Raleigh, who hoped to found a colony in the New World. Harriot's account, A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia, And yet he didn't publish his work. Galileo, who more fully appreciated the telescope's possibilities, seized the moment. He discovered four moons of Jupiter and saw that Venus has phases, like our moon. He peered into the Milky Way and saw, for the first time, that it's made of countless individual stars. And Galileo published. His first book on his new astronomical studies
