He was born in central Istria, and studied at the Cathedral School at Chartres and in Paris (1130-1135). After completing his studies he travelled to the Middle East with his friend Robert from Ketton, where both were seriously involved in the study of Arabic science and philosophy. In 1138 we find them in a place along the river Ebro in Spain working on translations. At that time Herman was mostly translating works of astrology. In 1138 he translated the astrological treatise Fatidica , the sixth part of a work in astronomy by a scientist of Jewish origin Sahl ibn Bishr; in 1140 he translated Introductorium in astronomiam by Abu Ma'shar contributing thereby to the spreading of Aristotelian philosophy in western Europe. At the same time Herman wrote the astrological works Liber imbrium and De indagatione cordis , compilations from Indian and Arabic texts. Petrus Venerabilis, the Abbot of Cluny met Herman and Robert in Spain in 1142 and encouraged them to translate the Koran. In Leone Herman finished some shorter texts about Islam

After his appointment as secretary to king Rudolph II in 1579, Vranèiæ began a more systematic study of the natural and technical sciences. From 1594 to 1598 he lived in Dalmatia and Italy, working in comparative lexicology and publishing his famous dictionary in five languages (Venice 1595). In 1598 Rudolph II made him a Bishop and royal cousellor for Hungary and Transylvania. He held this post up to 1605, when he left the Court, and entered the order of St Paul (the "Barnabites") in Rome. Returning to Rome, he devoted himself to experimental work with machine construction and architectural problems. After the Barnabite Giovanni Ambrogio Mazente introduced him to Leonardo's technical drawings he was inspired to write his most significant work, Machinae Novae

Extractions: Shakespeare: Hamlet Astronomy is the oldest science. Observing the stars and planets has always been important e.g. for time determination or for calendar making. We find great interest in astronomical questions in ancient cultures as well as in more recent centuries. history of astronomy one could present the topics in an even more interesting and motivating way for a broader range of pupils. I think this should start in the beginning years of the 'Gymnasium'. Furthermore, with interdisciplinary teaching one could combine science with cultural history. Here I give a concrete example of a subject which lends itself to such an interdisciplinary approach - sundials. After an introduction dealing with antiquity and the Middle Ages, I shall present three sundial examples drawn essentially from the Early Modern period (roughly 15th-17th centuries). I think it is useful to supplement book-learning with practical work - i.e. making such instruments and learning to use them. This can be rounded out by a visit to a museum to see original instruments or by a walk through town to find sundials.

http://5.1911encyclopedia.org/C/CO/CONIC_SECTION.htm

Extractions: CONIC SECTION The definitions given above reflect the intimate association of these curves, but it frequently happens that a particular conic is defined by some special property (as the ellipse, which is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two~ fixed points is constant); such definitions and other special properties are treated in the articles ELLIPSE, HYPERBOLA and PARABOLA. In this article we shall consider the historical development of the geometry of conics, and refer the reader to the article GEOMETRY: Analytical and Projective, for the special methods of investigation. But the greatest Greek writer on the conic sections was Apollonius of Perga, and it is to his Conic Sections that we are indebted for a review of the early history of this subject. Of the eight books which made up his original treatise, only seven are certainly known, the first fouI in the original Greek, the next three are found in Arabic translations, and the eighth was restored by Edmund Halley in 1710 from certain introductory lemmas of Pappus. The first four books, of which the first three are dedicated to Eudemus, a pupil of Aristotle and author of the original Eudemian Summary, contain little that is original, and are principally based on the earlier works of Menaechmus, Aristaeus (probably a senior contemporary of Euclid, flourishing about a century later than Menaechmus),Euclid and Archimedes. The remaining books are strikingly original and are to~be regarded as embracing Apolloniuss own researches.

Extractions: Sir Winston Churchill Go immediately to Contents Eu)klei/dou Stoixei~a , Euclid's Elements, the classical textbook in geometry, is easy to read in the original ancient Greek, but its grammar and vocabulary are not those familiar from the usual course in elementary Greek, with peculiarities that make it difficult for the beginner. The text of the Elements that we have is written in the literary koinh/ typical of the 1st century AD. This course concentrates on exactly what is necessary to read Euclid, both in vocabulary and grammar. Its sole aim is to teach how to read this work, and similar texts in Greek mathematics, and not to compose Greek sentences, nor to read the Iliad or Plato. All necessary information is included in the course. A great amount of scholarship has been devoted to Euclid, mainly in Latin or German, and this course may expose some of it to a larger audience, to whom it has been largely inaccessible. For authoritative details, reference must be made to these sources, since the present one claims no expertise. There are many websites with information on Euclid and geometry. For example, look at the link to Euclid in the Seven Wonders website that is referenced in the Classics Index page, under the heading Pharos of Alexandria. As is typical of education on the Internet, many sites are poor, repetitive or childish, however.

Extractions: APOLLONIUS De Perga grec, Perge -262 / Alexandrie -180 env. On doit à ce mathématicien et astronome grec un traité complet et de très beaux résultats sur les sections coniques (intersection d'un plan et d'un cône) lors de travaux probablement liés à la recherche d'une courbe auxiliaire dans la résolution du problème de la duplication du cube, déjà étudié par Mé n echme. Les coniques en tant que courbes algébriques - l'appellation est de Leibniz - ne furent introduites qu'au XVII ème s. avec Wallis et Descartes. Apollonius vient étudier à Alexandrie sous la direction du successeur d'E u clide. Il complète ses connaissances à Pergame, attiré par la nouvelle université et la bibliothèque de renommée mondiale. Il retourne vivre à Alexandrie qu'il ne quitte plus. Son traité monumental sur les sections coniques tient en huit volumes. Les quatre premiers nous sont parvenus en grec, les trois suivants grâce à une traduction arabe et le dernier est perdu. Avant lui, on définit les coniques par l'intersection d'un cône avec un plan perpendiculaire à une génératrice, ce qui donne, suivant que l'angle du sommet est égal, inférieur ou supérieur à un droit, une parabole, une ellipse ou une hyperbole. Apollonius, le premier, obtient toutes les coniques avec un unique cône, en faisant varier la direction du plan, et, comme il considère des cônes doubles, il obtient deux branches pour les hyperboles. Il remarque une relation simple entre la projection d'un point sur un axe de symétrie et la distance à un sommet, ce qui revient à donner une équation cartésienne de la conique.

Rare Books Collection QA31.Ar1 B2 The mathematician and engineer Archimedes (ca.287-212BC) was one of the greatest minds of antiquity, making important discoveries in geometry, statics, hydrostatics and mechanics. For example, in The measurement of the circle he determined the value of Pi, with great accuracy to be between 223/71 and 220/70 and in The sand reckoner On plane equilibriums , the first extant work on statics, Archimedes discovered fundamental theorems concerning the centre of gravity of figures, such as the parallelogram, the triangle, the trapezium and a segment of a parabola. In On floating bodies he laid down the basic principles of hydrostatics. In this treatise, he determines the positions that various solids will assume when floating in a fluid, according to their shape and the variation in their specific gravities, and also establishes a number of general principles, including what has become known as Archimedes' principle. However, Archimedes was also a practical engineer who constructed war machines and other devices for his patron. He is said to have invented a system of compound pulleys capable of lifting entire ships and their contents in order to demonstrate to King Hieron the principle of mechanical advantage. He is also said to have designed the water pump that we now know as the Archimedes Screw in order to raise water from the hold of another King Hieron's ships.
