BACK Index of Development Graphic Version VIETE, F.(1540-1603) The greatest French mathematician of the sixteenth century was Francois Viete, frequently called by his semi-Latin name of Vieta, a lawyer and member of parliament who devoted most of his leisure time to mathematics. He was born in 1540 at Fontenay and died in 1603 in Paris. Some entertaining anecdotes are told about Viete. There is a story about an ambassador from the low Countries who boasted to king Henry IV that Viete wrote a number of works on trigonometry, algebre, and geometry, chief of which are the Canon mathematicus seu ad triangula (1579), the In artem analyticam isagoge the Supplementum geometriae De numerosa poteatatum resolutione (1600), and De aequationum recognitione et emendatione (published posthuously in 1615). These works, except the last, were printed and distributed at Viete's own expense. viete was an outstanding algebraist, so it is no surprise to learn that he applied algebra and trigonometry to his geometry. He contributed to the three famous problems of antiquity by showing that both the trisection and the duplication problems depend upon the solution of cubic equations. We have mantioned Viete's calculation of ¥ð and his interesting infinite product converging to 2/¥ð. We mentioned his attempted restoration of Apollonius lost work on Tangencies.

He made the use of letters as symbols of quantity a general custom. He was highly skilful in the treatment of equations, knew the relations between the positive roots and the coefficients, and devised solutions for the equations of the second, third, and fourth degrees by methods different from the existing ones. He enumerated the principle of homogeneity. He extended the tables of Rheticus, gave formulae for the sine and cosine of a multiple angle, and attempted to find the value of pi by means of infinite series. To a considerable extent he applied algebra to geometry and trigonometry and geometry and trigonometry to algebra.

26. The History Of Pi In 1593, adrianus romanus used a circumscribed polygon with 230 sides to computepi to 17 digits after the decimal, of which 15 were correct. http://www.math.rutgers.edu/courses/436/436-s00/Papers2000/wilson.html

The History of Pi David Wilson History of Mathematics Rutgers, Spring 2000 Throughout the history of mathematics, one of the most enduring challenges has been the calculation of the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter, which has come to be known by the Greek letter pi . From ancient Babylonia to the Middle Ages in Europe to the present day of supercomputers, mathematicians have been striving to calculate the mysterious number. They have searched for exact fractions, formulas, and, more recently, patterns in the long string of numbers starting with 3.14159 2653..., which is generally shortened to 3.14. William L. Schaaf once said, "Probably no symbol in mathematics has evoked as much mystery, romanticism, misconception and human interest as the number pi" (Blatner, 1). We will probably never know who first discovered that the ratio between a circle's circumference and diameter is constant, nor will we ever know who first tried to calculate this ratio. The people who initiated the hunt for pi were the Babylonians and Egyptians, nearly 4000 years ago. It is not clear how they found their approximation for pi, but one source (Beckman) makes the claim that they simply made a big circle, and then measured the circumference and diameter with a piece of rope. They used this method to find that

"Gegen 1575 meldete sich bei Rhaeticus ein gewisser Valentinus Otho, von dem lange Zeit bekannt war, was er selbst ueber sich berichtet, dass er in Wittenberg von des Rheticus Arbeiten gehoert und sich ihm muss also wohl in Magdeburg geboren sein und zwar um 1550, denn Rhaeticus verglich sein Alter mit dem, in welchem er selbst 25-jaehrig zu Koppernikus gereist sei.

Father Occupation: Lawyer, Government Official Viète's father, Etienne Viète, was an attorney in Fontenay and a notary in Le Busseau. He was also a procureur du roi in Fontenay. Viète's grandfather was a merchant in the village of Foussay in Lower Poitou. Viète's mother was the first cousin to Barnabé Brisson, President of the Parlement de Paris under the League. All the evidence places the Viète family among the most distinguished in Fontenary. At least by the age of twenty, Viète was Sieur de la Bigotière. His two brothers both had distinguished positions. I do not see how to avoid the conclusion that the family was wealthy. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Poitiers, L.D.

Click here for a Postscript version of this page and here for a pdf version) The geometric period Up to the Seventeenth Century, approximations of p were obtained by mean of geometrical considerations. Most of the methods were dealing with regular polygons circumscribed about and inscribed in the circle. The perimeter or the area of those polygons were calculated with elementary geometrical rules. During this period the notation p was not used and it was not yet a constant but just a geometrical ratio or even just implicit. Ancient estimations Egypt In one of the oldest mathematical text, the Rhind papyrus (from the name of the Egyptologist Henry Rhind who purchased this document in 1858 at Luxor), the scribe Ahmes copied, around 1650 B.C.E., eighty-five mathematical problems. Among those is given a rule, the problem 48 , to find the area of a circular field of diameter 9: take away 1/9 of the diameter and take the square of the remainder. In modern notation, it becomes A= d d d (A is the area of the field and d it's diameter): so if we use the formula A= p d /4, comes the following approximation

Top About the Author Statement of Purpose Reviews ... Message Board An Analysis of the Chapter on Robert Burton In Stanley Fish's Self-Consuming Artifacts At the outset I encounter the difficult task of relating my treatment of this topic (Robert Burton's retractions or palinodes) to Professor Stanley Fish's chapter on "Democritus Junior to the Reader"in his Self-Consuming Artifacts (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1972). I can only say that the effect of Professor Fish's theory of "literature in the reader" has been, in the analysis of Burton's works, singularly unhappy, resulting in misreadings big and small. For this, two reasons appear: the reading done by Professor Fish's ideal reader is atomistic, and it is ahistorical. First, this ideal reader seems so fettered to the individual sentence, that he fails to recall titles, topic sentences, and references by Burton to his own activities as a writer, which, though widely spaced, are set up as guideposts to various parts of the discourse. Second, this ideal reader misreads technical terms and topical references whose meanings have become obscured since Burton's lifetime. Let us take these pointsatomism and ahistoricity in turn.

Dr. Kim H. Veltman V Instrumentation and Science Introduction Astronomy Optics Perspective ... Modern Developments 1. Introduction The development of perspective had fundamental consequences for science, art, the environment and the imagination. Each of these domains will be considered in turn in the chapters that follow. 2. Astronomy Ever since the Babylonians, there had been observation of the heavens and, already in Antiquity, there were instruments to observe the apparent motions of the planets and stars. Yet the focus of attention was on finding a pattern for phenomena such as eclipses of the sun and moon. Since the heavens were assumed to be unchanging, astronomy became primarily a conceptual problem of accounting for a set of recurring events. Indeed, once a basic catalogue of stars visible to the naked eye had been made, there was little incentive to look more closely. Hence, paradoxically, although ancient astronomy produced various instruments for observation of the heavens, it remained in many ways unvisual: a question of deceptive appearances1 rather than of visual truth. The development of the planisphere and astrolabe2 imposed a deductive grid on the heavens, not unlike that of Ptolemy's projection in his

Simon Stevin, Flemish tutor of a Dutch Prince Portrait of Stevin (Library of the University of Leiden (The Netherlands)) To a general educated public Simon Stevin is mainly associated with the introduction of the decimal fractions, which laid later on to the foundation of the decimal system of weights and measures. He realised a lot of technical inventions out of which the construction of a 28-passenger sailing carriage used along the seashore was best known to his contemporaries. For those less familiar with Stevin we recall that he is born in Brugge (now Belgium ) in 1548 as the illegitimate child of Anthuenis (Anton) Stevin and Catelyne (Catherine) van der Poort . Recent studies proves that his father could be a cadet son of a burgomaster (mayor) of Veurne ; his mother was the daughter of a burgher family of Ieper Ypres ), who married later on a merchant in carpet-weaving and silk-trade, who belonged to a family with sympathy for the Calvinism religion. Practically nothing more is known of Stevin's youth and education. He was at first employed in
