Extractions: George Boole George Boole (1815-1864) was a British mathematician and is known as the founder of mathematical logic. Boole, who came from a poor family and was essentially a self-taught mathematician, made his presence known in the world of mathematics in 1847 after the publication of his book, "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic". In his book, Boole successfully demonstrated that logic, as Aristotle taught it, could be represented by algebraic equations. In 1854, Boole firmly established his reputation by publishing "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities", a continuation of his earlier work. In 1855 Boole, the first professor of mathematics at The College of Cork, Ireland, married Mary Everest, who is now known as a mathematician and teacher in her own right. Mary, who was 18 years younger than Boole, served as sounding-board and editor for her husband throughout their nine years of marriage. Unfortunately, Mary's poor choice of medical treatment may have hastened Boole's death. After getting caught in the rain and catching a cold, Boole was put to bed by his wife, who dumped buckets of water on him based on the theory that whatever had caused the illness would also provide the cure. (It seemed logical to her.) George and Mary had five daughters; the third daughter, Alicia Boole Stott, became well-known for her work in the visualization of geometric figures in hyperspace.

Extractions: ed. by John Fauvel, Raymond Flood, and Robin Wilson History of science, or more specifically history of mathematics, can be approached in a variety of ways. Traditionally, the focus is on the history of the "great" themes or the "great" minds. In many ways, this emphasis on greatness makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, however, the adjective "great" is rather ill-defined and leaves a lot of room for the furthering of contemporary agendas such as patriotism or the validation of one's own discipline. More importantly, whatever "great" means exactly, the traditional approach tends to overlook the social and institutional contexts in which the great minds lived and in which the great themes took shape. More recently, the history of mathematics has been approached from a more institutional point of view as well. Several studies on the history of mathematics at German universities exist (Leipzig, Rostock, Tübingen) and the history of various mathematical societies has been studied (Circulo Matematico di Palermo, AMS, Finnish Mathematical Society). Obviously, this approach allows for more attention to societal and cultural context, but it does have its drawbacks too. Indeed, the institutional approach leaves very little room for whatever greatness might mean and the inevitable attention to minor themes and minor minds (whatever "minor" means exactly) could obscure the view on the bigger picture. The book under review here is another example of the recent crop of studies into the history of mathematics from an institutional point of view and exemplifies both the strengths and the weaknesses of its genre.

His audience includes a mixture of males and females.

As he gave some history during the introduction, he said, . . . PROF. POLYMATH: During the nineteenth century, this subject was studied by English gentlemen mathematicians and even a few housewives. [Many in the audience look aghast at this remark, while Professor Polymath continues to lecture inaudibly.

Extractions: The Sweepland Curves were created on December 19, 1998 in Silver Spring, Maryland. The team consists primarily of mathematical curves but also includes a couple of baseball-type curves just to keep things varied. Last season, their first, the Curves finished in second place, just 2 games behind the Pre-Raphaelites in the Underleague which is a pretty decent showing for a rookie team. For Season 2000 the Curves have made no changes to the roster which makes sense considering how well they did during their rookie season.

Extractions: Died: 27 June 1975 in Cambridge, England Geoffrey Taylor was a grandson of George Boole and Alicia Stott was his aunt. He attended school in Hampstead, and there he began to find his love of science. At the age of 11 he attended a series of children's Christmas lectures on The principles of the electric telegraph and these made a strong impression on him. He was introduced to William Thomson at one of these lectures and Lord Kelvin told him he had been friendly with Geoffrey Taylor's grandfather George Boole In 1899 Taylor went to University College School and in 1905 he won a scholarship to study at Trinity College, Cambridge. There he read mathematics, attending lectures by Whitehead Whittaker and Hardy . After taking part I of the mathematics tripos he moved towards physics taking part II of the physics tripos. He then won a scholarship to undertake research at Trinity College. One of his first pieces of research was a theoretical study of shock waves where he extended work by Thomson . This work won him a Smith's Prize. In 1910 he was elected to a Fellowship at Trinity College. The following year he was appointed to a meteorology post and his work on turbulence in the atmosphere led to his publication Turbulent motion in fluids which won the Adams Prize at Cambridge in 1915.

Extractions: Historisches Eines der ältesten Teilgebiete der Geometrie ist die Beschreibung der regelmäßigen Polyeder im IR . Die Wurzeln dieses Teilgebietes reichen zurück bis vor die Zeit um 500 vor Christus. Umfangreichere Arbeiten wurden wahrscheinlich erstmals um 400 vor Christus von Platon durchgeführt. Obwohl es sichere Indizien gibt, dass er viele Ideen von anderen Autoren übernommen hatte, werden die fünf regelmäßigsten Polyeder ihm zugesprochen und zu seinem Andenken die Platonischen Polyeder oder die Platonischen Körper genannt. Platon beschreibt Polyeder höchster Perfektion und Harmonie, die nur aus gleichen Flächen bestehen und deren Flächen selber alle gleich lange Kanten und gleich große Winkel haben (also selbst regelmäßig sind). Seine Arbeiten über diese Körper hatten nicht nur große Auswirkungen auf die Mathematik im Allgemeinen und die Geometrie im Speziellen, sondern auch auf die Philosophie, die Astronomie, die Astrologie und auf viele andere Wissensgebiete. Weitere Arbeiten zu regelmäßigen Polyedern folgten um 250 vor Christus von Archimedes. Er beschreibt dreizehn Polyeder, deren Flächen alle regelmäßig, aber nicht gleich sind. Auch diese Arbeiten über die Archimedischen Polyeder hatten einen großen Einfluss auf viele Wissensgebiete.
