Library 25th Anniversary Main Page Nimitz Library Main Page USNA Main ... Page The Annapolis Collection Nimitz Library Special Collections U.S. Naval Academy In 1845, the United States Naval Academy Library consisted of 361 books, some of which had been purchased new, but many of which were sent from ships or naval yards around the country in response to a navy-wide request to help build the Library. It is interesting to note that in 1848, Midshipman (and future Commodore) William Penn McCann wrote in a letter to his father: "There is a good library here, especially for Naval scholars." ( Letters from Annapolis: Midshipmen Write Home by Anne Marie Drew, 1998. McCann's original letters are located in the Nimitz Library Special Collections and Archives Division.) The following is a list of some of the books that McCann would have found in the original library collection. These books are now a part of the "Annapolis Collection," located in the Special Collections of the Naval Academy Library. To assist in browsing, we have organized the list into the following broad subject areas: General topics History Travel and Exploration Law ... Engineering , and Naval and Military Science GENERAL TOPICS Edinburgh Encyclopaedia Paley's Natural Theology by William Paley, 1845-47.

48. What Are Polyhedra? star vertices were described by louis poinsot early in the 19th century.The four regular starpolyhedra are usually called the Kepler-poinsot polyhedra http://members.aol.com/Polycell/what.html

What Are Polyhedra? Above: Photo of my model of a quasitruncated small stellated dodecahedron: OLYHEDRA faces , and the corners where three or more polygons come together become its vertices (singular: vertex). (This works for convex polyhedra. Things get more complicated when building models of star-polyhedra.) By closed I mean that the set of faces of a polyhedron divides three-dimensional space into two regions: the interior and the exterior of the polyhedron. The interior has a finite volume and is bounded by the faces; the exterior extends to infinity in all directions away from the polyhedron. One cannot join an interior point to an exterior point without passing through a face of the polyhedron (or passing out of three-space!). Convex polyhedra have very well-behaved interiors and exteriors, but star-polyhedra may have exterior regions that are completely surrounded by interior regions. We owe the word polyhedron poly . A polyhedron with four faces is thus called a tetrahedron , the prefix tetra Most polyhedra are unbelievably complicated, because there are infinitely many large numbers but only finitely many small numbers. So the polyhedra with gazillions of faces far outnumber the polyhedra with, say, 20 faces. For example, the Great Prismosaurus section displayed at the beginning of my four-dimensional uniform polytopes website has only about 700 faces, but each face is diced up by the other faces into innumerable external facelets, making it so complicated that a physical model probably could not be built with existing technology. Fortunately, many interesting polyhedra have a manageable number of faces and can be modeled successfully in paper.

49. The Regular Polyhedra It was not until French mathematician louis poinsot in 1810 extended the idea ofregularity to include nonconvex polyhedra as well as convex ones that http://members.aol.com/Polycell/regs.html

The Regular Polyhedra Above: Photo of my models of the nine regular polyhedra, five convex and four nonconvex. All nine are painted with enamels in various colors rather than constructed out of colored card stock; unfortunately, the highlights off the glossy enamels do not photograph particularly well. First row, left to right: cube octahedron tetrahedron ; second row, left to right: great dodecahedron icosahedron dodecahedron small stellated dodecahedron ; third row, left to right: great icosahedron great stellated dodecahedron . The largest of these is about 23 cm in diameter. I built these models on a model-making binge during a hot 1981 San Diego summer. EGULAR POLYHEDRA Timaeus , were well known to the Pythagoreans of classical Greece and to other philosophers dating as far back as 500 BC . The Pythagoreans, a secret society of mathematicians and musicians, developed among themselves the logical foundations of algebra, number theory, and geometry. The existence of five Platonic solids is a fundamental property of any locally Euclidean three-dimensional space, like the value of pi: the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle. A set of Platonic solids is usually among the first polyhedra that a novice polyhedron model-maker builds, to hone model-making skills before attempting more challenging polyhedra.

50. Augustin Louis Cauchy Augustin louis Cauchy s father was active in his education. He did not succeed,being beat by the likes of Legendre, poinsot, Ampère, and Binet. http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/periodictable/html/Cu.html

Augustin Louis Cauchy Augustin Louis Cauchy's father was active in his education. Laplace and Lagrange were visitors at the Cauchy family home, and Lagrange in particular seems to have taken an interest in young Cauchy's mathematical education. Lagrange advised Cauchy's father that his son should obtain a good grounding in languages before starting a serious study of mathematics, so he spent two years studying classical languages. In 1810 Cauchy took up his first job in Cherbourg to work on port facilities for Napoleon's English invasion fleet. In addition to his heavy workload Cauchy undertook mathematical researches, and he proved in 1811 that the angles of a convex polyhedron are determined by its faces. He submitted his first paper on this topic then, encouraged by Legendre and Malus, he submitted a further paper on polygons and polyhedra in 1812. Cauchy felt that he had to return to Paris if he was to make an impression with mathematical research. In 1815, he was appointed assistant professor of analysis at the Ecole Polytechnique. In 1816 he won the Grand Prix of the French Academy of Science for a work on waves. He achieved real fame however when he submitted a paper to the Institute solving one of Fermat's claims on polygonal numbers made to Mersenne. Politics now helped Cauchy into the Academy of Sciences when Carnot and Monge fell from political favour and were dismissed and Cauchy filled one of the two places. By 1830, the political events in Paris and the years of hard work had taken their toll and Cauchy decided to take a break. He spent a short time in Switzerland. Political events in France meant that Cauchy was now required to swear an oath of allegiance to the new regime, and when he failed to return to Paris to do so he lost all his positions there. He taught in Turin in 1832, and in Prague the following year.

53. Augustin Cournot After Poisson died in 1840, Cournot continued on at the Conseil as a deputy toPoisson s successor, the mathematician louis poinsot. http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/cournot.htm

Antoine Augustin Cournot, 1801-1877 French philosopher, mathematician and economist, Augustin Cournot has been rightly hailed as one of the greatest of the Proto-Marginalists . The unique insights of his major economics work, Researches into the Mathematical Principles of Wealth (1838) were without parallel. Although neglected in his time, the impact of Cournot work on modern economics can hardly be overstated. Augustin Cournot was born in the small town of Gray (Haute-Saône). He was educated in the schools of Gray until he was fifteen. Subsequently, for the next four years, he worked haphazardly as a clerk in a lawyer's office. Cournot directed his own studies throughout this time, mostly centered around philosophy and law. Inspired by the work of Laplace , Cournot realized that he had to learn mathematics if he was to pursue his philosophical aspirations. So, at the relatively ripe age of nineteen, he enrolled in a mathematical preparatory course at a school in Besançon. He subsequently won entry into the École Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1821. For political reasons, the ENS was closed down in 1822 and so Cournot transferred to the Sorbonne, obtaining a lecentiate in mathematics in 1823. He threw himself wholeheartedly into the stimulating intellectual and scientific atmosphere of Paris, attending the seminars at the Academie des Sciences and the

Not only was this divergence of viewpoints evident among students of mechanics in general, it seems also to have borne particularly upon the Ecole Polytechnique. Over the years followers of Carnot there included Hachette, who introduced a course in machine theory at the school in 1806 and published his Trait© ©l©mentaire des machines in 1811, and polytechniciens Navier and especially Coriolis and Poncelet during the 1820s [31, chap. 16]; and the orientation of the school towards engineering would surely have made it an attractive choice. Yet, while Lagrange did not teach mechanics there, other of his colleagues and successors followed parts of his version most closely: the energy/work version was reduced to special cases, and Newton's version was largely ignored, although his second law turned up, as a derived result, in various analyses.
