Joseph Raphson [1648 – 1715] Joseph Raphson was an English mathematician, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and a friend of Newton. During the great dispute in the mathematical community at that time over the discovery of differential calculus, naturally Raphson sided with Newton (instead of Leibnitz).

Search The Turner Collections, University of Keele Document 1: "The Turner Collection, Keele", by Martin Phillips From the BSHM Newsletter 28Spring 1995: British Libraries #5 In 1968 Mr Charles Turner (1886-1973), a retired civil servant, decided that he would like to donate his collection of books on mathematics and related subjects to a library which had not had the opportunity or good fortune to acquire such a special collection. Keele University was the fortunate recipient of his generosity, as a direct result of his friendship with a London family, the Ingrams, some thirty years previously. The son of that family, Professor David Ingram, was head of physics at Keele in 1968 and through his efforts and those of Stanley Stewart, the University Librarian, the collection was handed over. Turner was never a wealthy man, but due to some successful money-making ventures during the Great War and due to a single-minded approach to the exercise he was able to build up over a period of some forty years one of the finest collections of mathematics books in the country. He was also lucky in that it was possible when he started out to pick up early printed mathematics works for, in some cases, just a few shillings. The collection comprises roughly 1400 books and pamphlets connected with mathematics and allied subjects. Represented within it are all the great names from the earliest times through to the twentieth century. What then are some of the treasures?

Algorithms (after al-Khuwarizmi, the first scholar who had generalized their application) All About Algorithms with Marilyn Burns An algorithm is a specified sequence of steps that lead to a particular goal. The Math Gene: How Mathematical Thinking Evolved and Why Numbers are Like Gossip. Basic Books. p.10. Here we define algorithm in a customary way, as a finite, step-by-step procedure for accomplishing a task that we wish to complete. p. 7. An algorithm From Algorithms in Everyday Mathematics An algorithm is a precise, systematic method for solving a class of problems. An algorithm is a computational recipe for the systematic execution of a procedure designed to solve a specific problem that maintains the following: 1. Input data along with a finite set of instructions; 2. A computing agent reacts to the input and instructions and carries out the steps; 3. Intermediate results are stored and used; 4. The computation is carried out in a discrete, stepwise fashion; and 5. The computing agent interprets the set of instructions in such a way that computation is carried out deterministically, without resort to random methods.

His two main systematic interests are 1.) the concept of knowledge and 2.) the nature and limits of rationality (both theoretical and practical). His is currently working on a contextualist conception of knowledge. Historically, his main interests are in the 17th and 18th century (Descartes, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, and especially Reid and Kant) and in contemporary Analytic Philosophy.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT To meet increased interest in the many facets of mathematics, we have instituted a new unified major, including special recommendations to students interested in applied mathematics or other sciences, engineering, graduate school in mathematics, statistics and actuarial science, and teaching. In some very good news for our broadening program, we have hired a statistician, Richard De Veaux of Princeton University. The Daily Princetonian ran a major story on the loss of one of their best teachers to Williams. In addition, visiting next year will be Faan Tone Liu of Colorado (analysis) and Robert Manning of Cornell (applied mathematics). We greeted the new Williams president, Harry Payne, and his wife Deborah with a dinner with Mathematics faculty and students at Professor Frank Morgan's house January 5, during Payne's first week in office. In April Harry and Deborah Payne returned the favor with a dinner for faculty and seniors in the President's House. We are additionally pleased to have professional contact with Deborah Payne who has taken charge as Director of the Science and Math Resource Center. Our one-man PR committee, Professor Edward Burger, gave two more sensational parents/family weekend talks, which transfixed audiences of hundreds which packed Bronfman auditorium: "Predicting the Future in an Uncertain World: Do We Really Need that Crystal Ball" and "Why I Hate Mathematics But Love Museums."

If I had staid for other people to make my tools and other things for me, I had never made anything of it. Isaac Newton Newtons's Deathmask (Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences) As far as science is concerned, the figure of Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) does stand as a watershed between the ancient world and the modern one. The introduction of the so-called "scientific method" is often attributed to Newton. Even though such a claim is very questionable, it suggests the fundamental role that he played in transforming physical science into an experimentally grounded, yet analytical, quantitative, mathematical enterprise (consider, for example, the very title of his fundamental work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica method of fluxions ', as he termed it, was based on his crucial insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it. Taking differentiation as the basic operation, Newton produced simple analytical methods that unified many separate techniques previously developed to solve apparently unrelated problems such as finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves and the maxima and minima of functions. Newton's

Mathematics Pronunciation Guide A Megametamathematical Guide, for the Diacritally Challenged, of the Proper American English Pronunciation of Terms and Names This guide includes most mathematicians and mathematical terms that may been encountered in high school and the first two years of college. Proper names are generally pronounced as in the original language. Some entries are obscure and may be useful only in a game of mathematical trivia, e. g. d'Alembert's mother, the name of the line in a fraction, or who shot Galois. I have not had the time to include most definitions or accomplishments. The curious person may try searching the internet for such information. However I have given a few, they are indicated with Move the curser to the symbol and wait a second. D ates include B.C. or A.D. only if the choice is not obvious from the context. The Guide is not complete, I will be adding more pronunciations and entries as time permits. (I did not give up my day job.) (The red dates and purple pronunciations are not links.)

Abstract: click for full image and caption In order to teach robots how to move and computers how to see, mathematicians have to reconsider one of their most ancient challenges: how to find the zeroes (or "roots") of a polynomial. The computer has re-invigorated the field by enabling mathematicians to use approximate methods, zeroeing in on the zeroes with high speed and precision. New algorithms developed by the author and colleagues make it possible, in principle, to solve a polynomial equation almost as fast as it can be written down.
