24. Robert Hooke Biography, specialising on his interest in biology, from the University ofCalifornia Museum of Paleontology. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/hooke.html

R obert H ooke (1635-1703) No portrait survives of Robert Hooke. His name is somewhat obscure today, due in part to the enmity of his famous, influential, and extremely vindictive colleague, Sir Isaac Newton. Yet Hooke was perhaps the single greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. His interests knew no bounds, ranging from physics and astronomy, to chemistry, biology, and geology, to architecture and naval technology; he collaborated or corresponded with scientists as diverse as Christian Huygens, Antony van Leeuwenhoek , Christopher Wren, Robert Boyle, and Isaac Newton. Among other accomplishments, he invented the universal joint, the iris diaphragm, and an early prototype of the respirator; invented the anchor escapement and the balance spring, which made more accurate clocks possible; served as Chief Surveyor and helped rebuild London after the Great Fire of 1666; worked out the correct theory of combustion; devised an equation describing elasticity that is still used today ("Hooke's Law"); assisted Robert Boyle in studying the physics of gases; invented or improved meteorological instruments such as the barometer, anemometer, and hygrometer; and so on. He was the type of scientist that was then called a virtuoso able to contribute findings of major importance in any field of science. It is not surprising that he made important contributions to biology and to paleontology.

Robert Hooke (18 July 1635 - 3 March 1703) - natural philosopher, inventor, architect.... Robert Hooke is one of the most neglected natural philosophers of all time. The inventor of, amongst other things, the iris diaphragm in cameras, the universal joint used in motor vehicles, the balance wheel in a watch, the originator of the word 'cell' in biology, he was Surveyor of the City of London after the Great Fire of 1666, architect, experimenter, worked in astronomy - yet is known mostly for Hooke's Law. He fell out with Newton, and certainly had a difficult temperament. He deserves more from History than he received in his lifetime.

En 1655 Robert Hooke colaboró con Robert Boyle en la construcción de una bomba de aire. Cinco años más tarde formuló la ley de la elasticidad que lleva su nombre, que establece la relación de proporcionalidad directa entre el estiramiento sufrido por un cuerpo sólido y la fuerza aplicada para producir ese estiramiento. En esta ley se fundamenta el estudio de la elasticidad de los materiales. Hooke aplicó sus estudios a la construcción de componentes de relojes. En 1662 fue nombrado responsable de experimentación de la Royal Society de Londres, siendo elegido miembro de dicha sociedad al año siguiente. Robert Hooke En 1664, con un telescopio de Gregory de construcción propia, Robert Hooke descubrió la quinta estrella del Trapecio, en la constelación de Orión; así mismo fue el primero en sugerir que Júpiter gira alrededor de su eje. Sus detalladas descripciones del planeta Marte fueron utilizadas en el siglo XIX para determinar su velocidad de rotación. Un año más tarde fue nombrado profesor de geometría en el Gresham College. Ese mismo año publicó Robert Hooke su obra

It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older. Relatively few details of Robert's childhood are known. What we record here is information which he mentioned to his friends later in his life. Robert, like many children of his day, had poor health and was not expected to reach adulthood. His father was from a family in which it was expected that all the boys joined the Church (John Hooke's three brothers were all ministers) so had Robert enjoyed good health as a child there is no doubt that he would have followed the family tradition. As it was Robert's parents did begin to set up his education with this in mind but he continually suffered from headaches which made studying hard. Lacking confidence that he would reach adulthood, Robert's parents gave up on his education, leaving him much to his own devices.

Branch of Science Physicists Nationality English Hooke, Robert (1635-1703) English scientist who had worked as an assistant in Boyle's lab. He published Micrographia in 1665, which was the first treatise on microscopic principles and observations. Hooke made many discoveries in microanatomy, and discovered the porous structure of cork which he termed "cells." He viewed cells simply as a container, however, and not as the basic unit of life. He also, like Boyle , performed numerous experiments with the air pump and showed that air was necessary for life and combustion.

A brief biography of Robert Hooke FRS - scientist, inventor, architect - a man who, despite much ill-health, energetically pursued a huge variety of interests in science, technology and architecture, and who did so much to promote the Royal Society in its early years. A list of the main events and milestones in Robert Hooke's life. Hooke was a considerable scientist who became a considerable architect and then returned to science. Appointed a Surveyor of the City of London after the Great Fire, he worked indefatigably in the interests of the City. That he is much less well-known than Wren (a scientist who became and remained an architect) is due to the fact that few of his buildings have survived. The Monument is certainly his. Hooke's famous work on microscopy was published in 1665. A small selection of the articles, though not the plates, is reproduced here. In 1745 Micrographia was becoming difficult to find, and Hooke's prose style was already out of fashion. Micrographia Restaurata (restored) was a re-issue of Hooke's original plates with an abbreviated and updated commentary. This section will eventually give all of the book as a set of images designed more for printing than for viewing on screen. In this article Allan Chapman (Wadham College, Oxford) presents Hooke's achievements. This lecture was given at a Friday evening Discourse at the Royal Institution and also at Westminster School.

Home Biography An Attempt to Prove the Motion of the Earth Hooke's Law ... Resources Robert Hooke (1635-1708) Robert Hooke was perhaps one of the most important scientists from the 17th century. While his research and findings were often overshadowed by those of his rival Sir Isaac Newton, one cannot argue their importance in the development of fields such as physics, astronomy, biology, and medicine, to name a few. One could say he was England's equivalent of 14th century genius Leonardo da Vinci , that he was a true renaissance man who was constantly seeking answers to questions, and inventing new and ingenious scientific instruments. Hooke's inventions include the spring control of the balance wheel in watches, and the first reflecting telescope. Hooke also worked as an architect, although his dreams of redesigning London following the Great Fire of 1666 were brought down to smaller proportions. One must realize that Robert Hooke's advances in the field of Microscopy and Astronomy opened doors which would one day lead to discoveries from scientists such as Dr. Edwin Hubble

He went to school at Oxford He was a M.D. at Doctors' Commons in 1691. Hooke was employed by Robert Boyle to construct the Boylean air pump. He discovered the law of elasticity, which became known as Hooke’s law. His law laid the basis for studies of stress and strain and for understanding of elastic materials. He applied his studies in his designs for the balance springs of watches. He was appointed curator of experiments to the Royal Society of London. He was elected a fellow. He was one of the first men to build a Gregorian reflecting telescope. Hooke discovered the fifth star in the Trapezium and an asterism in the constellation Orion. He was the first to suggest that Jupiter rotates on its axis. Hooke’s detailed sketches of Mars were used in the 19th century to determine that planet’s rate of rotation. He was professor of geometry in Gresham College. He studied the crystal structure of snowflakes, discussed the possibility of manufacturing artificial fibers by a process similar to the spinning of the silkworm, and first used the word cell to name the microscopic honeycomb cavities in corks in

35. Seeing Further, The Legacy Of Robert Hooke Biography from the Griffith Observer June 1996. http://starryskies.com/~kmiles/spec/hooks.html

Seeing Further, The Legacy of Robert Hooke "He was of an active, restless, indefatigable Genius even almost to the last, and always slept little to his death, seldom going to sleep till two three, or four a Clock in the Morning, and seldomer to Bed, often continuing his Studies all Night, and taking a nap in the day. His temper was Melancholy...." Robert Hooke was a significant influence in the advancement of science as well as Newton. An established physicist and astronomer, Hooke was with the Royal Society from its inception, and served it tirelessly and loyally for over forty years; it was he who had worded the society's credo "To improve the knowledge of natural things, and all useful Arts, Manufactures, Mechanic practices, Engines and Inventions by Experiments (not meddling with divinity, Metaphysics, Morals, Politics, Grammar, Rhetoric or Logic)." But the rancor between Newton and Hooke did much to tarnish Hooke's reputation. Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight, July 18, 1635. As a child he survived smallpox, but was scarred physically and emotionally for life. When Hooke was thirteen years old, his father, John Hooke, a clergyman hanged himself. Young Robert had much emotional pain in his youth. Receiving a 100 pound inheritance from his father, Robert Hooke became an orphan of sorts, being sent off to London. In London was the painter Sir Peter Lely, and there, Hooke was to develop his artistic skills.

Papers of Robert Hooke (1635-1703). Man of science The list that follows is a catalogue of a small collection of papers of Robert Hooke (1635-1703), scientist and architect. Hooke was not a member of Trinity College and it is not known when exactly these papers came into the College's possession. The presence of the manuscript introduction to William Derham's Philosophical Experiments suggests that they may have passed through the hands of Richard Waller and Derham in common with other Hooke manuscripts. On their arrival in the library these manuscripts were given Wren Library classmarks in common with a number of unrelated items which appear to be of different provenance. These original references (O.11a.1/6-29) have been retained.
