THE JAMES CLERK MAXWELL FOUNDATION Mr David Ritchie, the Director of Development, will be pleased to answer enquiries. Members of the public desiring a tour of the house may make arrangements with him. Telephone: 0131 343 1036 Email: The James Clerk Maxwell Foundation has essentially two functions, one charitable and the other commemorative. Its general purposes are outlined in the first two items of its Deed of Declaration of Trust, dated 12 January 1977: "1. To promote, encourage, and advance the study of, research into, and the dissemination of knowledge of and relating to physics, chemistry and physical chemistry in all their aspects and in particular, but without prejudice to the foregoing generality, colloids and interfaces. "2. To commemorate, by publishing or contributing towards or promoting the publication in any way (but not with a view to profit) of scientific or educational books, films, papers, essays, monographs and/or lectures on or relating to physics and chemistry or any aspect thereof, the said James Clerk Maxwell and any other person or persons who may in the opinion of the Trustees have contributed significantly to the advancement of physics or chemistry." The charitable function of the Foundation was its only concern during the years 1977-93. Grants were made to senior scientists (professors) to attend meetings abroad and to junior scientists (graduates and undergraduates) to assist their studies or researches. As the Foundation is a modest one, these grants were not large, but even so were often essential for the purposes of the recipients. With the acquisition of the house in which Clerk Maxwell was born, in the New Town of Edinburgh, the work of the Foundation entered a new phase in which its commemorative function predominated. Once the current mortgage is discharged, the Foundation will be able to execute its charitable function to a greater degree than is possible at present.

Boiculese University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Gr.T.Popa" Iasi, Romania Medical Inference Using Neuro-Fuzzy Methods Abstract: Neural networks and fuzzy systems were developed as a necessity to find new methods for solving medical, technical and economic problems. Fuzzy systems represent a tool for modeling intermediate grades of belonging that occur in almost all real situations. They have much in common with expert systems, as the inference is based on firing rules. This is a reason for which fuzzy systems are suitable for medical applications. Neural networks were developed based on the biological neuron potential. The aims of these systems are to simulate the brain function, and also to realize logic systems, that cope with problems of real life. One of the most important benefits of neural networks is the capacity of learning from examples. To help physicians in their services, intelligent systems that realize automatic classifications, control and even deduce the diagnosis must be realized. Monday October 8, 2001

The Tait Conjectures Ruth Lawrence Abstract: In 1877, Peter Guthrie Tait wrote "Here we may remark that it is obvious that when the crossings are alternately + and - no reduction is possible, unless there be essentially nugatory crossings." This is the original statement of the first of the Tait Conjectures, whose first proof had to wait until 1987 with the advent of the Jones polynomial. Keywords: knots, Tait conjectures.

John Tait was a secretary to Walter Francis Scott, the fifth duke of Buccleuch. Peter had two sisters and he began his schooling in the Grammar School in Dalkeith. However, when he was six years old his father died and Peter, with his two sisters and his mother, moved to Edinburgh to live with an uncle John Ronaldson. An Edinburgh banker, John Ronaldson was nevertheless interested in science, in particular in astronomy, geology and with the newly invented photography. He soon interested his young nephew Peter in these subjects and it is fair to say that Peter's interest in science was a direct consequence of his uncle's enthusiasm for the sciences. When the family moved to Edinburgh Peter, of course, had to leave his school in Dalkeith. He next attended a private school in Circus Place Edinburgh, then in 1841, when he was ten years old, he entered Edinburgh Academy. Lewis Campbell, who later became the professor of Greek at the University of St Andrews, and James Clerk Maxwell were one year above Tait at the Academy. In fact

76. James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) It was here that he met peter guthrie tait (18311901), a contemporary who pursueda very similar career to Maxwell s own, and who became a life-long friend http://www.victorianweb.org/science/maxwell1.html

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) mathematical physicist Christopher Haley, History and Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University. James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Scottish physicist, widely considered by twentieth and twenty-first century physicists to have been one of the most significant figures of the nineteenth century. His work fundamentally changed conceptions of electromagnetism and introduced the basis of field theory. He is also known for his work on thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases. Education At age 16, Maxwell left the Academy for Edinburgh University. His studies there included Natural Philosophy under Kelland, Forbes and Gregory; Moral Philosophy under Wilson; and Mental Philosophy under Sir William Hamilton. Maxwell consumed these subjects eagerly, and his letters and notes from this period (November 1847 to October 1850) clearly demonstrate an extraordinary thirst for knowledge. At the same time, we can see the maturation of his own critical faculties, together with the want for original research, and his vacations were invariably spent engaged in experiment of some kind at the family home of Glenlair. In October 1850, Maxwell came up to

Les primeres passes les va donar C. F: Gauss Johann Listing Lord Kelvin Thomas P. Kirkman Peter Guthrie Tait Charles Newton Little (1858-1923) va intentar tabular els nusos no alternats de 10 encreuaments. Little es va graduar a la Universitat de Nebraska, fent la seva tesi doctoral a Yale amb el nom "On knots, with a census for order 10" (1885). Va tenir l'oportunitat d'estudiar a Alemanya amb Klein i Hilbert., on va examinar els treballs sobre nusos de Gauss i Listing. Va ser en aquest període (1899), que va publicar la seva taula amb 43 nusos no-alternats. Entre aquests nusos hi ha una repetició, amb la particularitat de que no es va trobar fins 75 anys després. La troballa fou obra d'un advocat de Nova York, Kenneth Perko Mary Gertrude Haseman (1889-1960) va ser la primera en atacar amb èxit els nusos de 12 encreuaments. Després d'haver-se graduat Cum Laude a la Universitat de Indiana, va fer la seva tesi doctoral a l'institut Brynn Mawr amb el nom "On knots, with a census of the amphirecheirals with twelve crossings" (1917) on llista els nusos aquirals (els que són iguals a la seva imatge especular) de 12 encreuaments. Com ja hem remarcat, hi havia dificultats per poder validar les taules ja que no es podia verificar que els nusos fossin diferents. El 1927

Despite the limitations of available mathematical resources he came up with a working principle of superposition of waves. Palmieri, Paolo, 'The obscurity of the equimultiples. Clavius' and Galileo's foundational studies of Euclid's theory of proportions', Archive for history of exact sciences Galileo believed that Euclid's definition of proportionality was obscure and proposed to replace it with a new definition. Clavius (1538-1612) devoted numerous sections of his massive commentary on Euclid's Elements to the study of proportions and, for different reasons, was concerned with the obscurity of Euclid's definition.
