Contenido Anterior Próxima Mary Fairfax Nacida el 26 de diciembre de 1780 de una familia pobre y en sus primeros años no tuvo una buena educación. Se le trató de enseñar a leer y a coser, pero ella no estaba interesada. Aprendió latín sola para poder leer el libro de Comentarios de César . Por un corto tiempo, estudió aritmética, escritura, piano y latín; pero su familia se opuso a que ella estudiara y prefería que gastara su tiempo en actividades sociales o aprendiendo artes domésticas. En una actividad vió una revista en la que salian letras y lineas en un dibujo y ella preguntó qué era eso, a lo que le respondieron que le llamaban Algebra. Ella trató de buscar más información pero le fue imposible. Esto fue así hasta que un día el tutor de su hermano menor le hizo llegar más información. Este al ver el gran interés de Fairfax, le haría Ilegar los libros de Euclides. En 1804 se casó y tuvo 2 hijos; uno, murió en la niñez y otro, a mediados de vida. Su esposo murió en 1807, dejándola en pobre estado de salud. De ahí en adelante se dedicó a estudiar matemáticas y astronomía. Después de resolver un problema matemático para un revista, el editor la llamó para trabajar con él. En 1812 se casó y ésto le dió la oportunidad de conocer otros matemáticos y astrónomos. En 1826 presentó su primer ensayo a la Sociedad Royal sobre Las Propiedades Magnéticas de los Rayos Violetas del Espectro Solar . Lord Brougham le pidió que escribiera dos volúmenes acerca de

Gazetteer for Scotland Help ... Add Comment Mary Somerville Mary Somerville Mathematician and scientist, born in Jedburgh, the daughter of a naval officer (Vice-Admiral Sir William Fairfax). Mary was born as her mother journeyed back from London to the family home at Burntisland, where Mary was educated. William Sommerville was her second husband, her first having died shortly after their marriage, and the couple settled in Edinburgh. Their friends included John Playfair (1748 - 1819), John Leslie (1766 - 1832) and David Brewster (1781 - 1868), who encouraged her study of mathematics. Mary studied algebra and published a series of books, including one on physical geography which became a standard text for more than 50 years. She also translated the works of Laplace and predicted the existence of the planet Neptune. She was a pioneer of women's education and Oxford's first college for women was named in her honour (1879). She died in Naples (Italy). If you have found this information useful please consider making a donation to help maintain and improve this site.

The Somerville Library Books from the scientific library of Mary Somerville (1780-1872) were presented to Girton College by her daughters, Martha and Mary Somerville in May 1873. There is no extant correspondence about the gift but it can be assumed from the Executive Committee minutes that the Misses Somerville wrote to Emily Davies offering the books to the 'College for Women' (1). Whether or not this was done at their late mother's behest is not clear, but seems probable. Mrs Somerville came to Cambridge with her husband in 1834 when they were invited by Dr Whewell to visit the University. On that occasion, Mary Somerville may have been the first woman to occupy a set of rooms at Trinity College (2). The only contemporary documentation about the gift is a list of the books 'to be sent from Naples' (Mrs Somerville's residence in the later part of her life), and instructions for assembly of the 'ebonised bookcase' dated 14 Jan [18]70. The Somerville Collection is housed in the ebonised bookcase in the corridor outside the Library. The College was conscious of the value of the books and the great honour which had been conferred by the gift (3). In the early thirties, there was some thought of integrating Mrs Somerville's books with the rest of the College Library but this suggestion was strongly opposed by Barbara Stephen and they remain a discrete collection (4). The collection includes a copy of
