Extractions: U.S. outlaw and Confederate guerrilla. After working as an itinerant schoolteacher, he moved to Kansas, where he failed at farming. By 1860 he was a horse thief and murderer. In the American Civil War he joined the Confederate army and later gathered a gang of guerrillas to raid and rob Union towns and farms. Quantrill's Raiders were made an official troop by the Confederates in 1862. In 1863 Quantrill and his group of about 450 men sacked the free-state town of Lawrence, Kan., killing 150 people. They later defeated a Union detachment, killing 90 soldiers. Quantrill was mortally wounded in a raid into Kentucky.

Extractions: Science in Christian Perspective F. BACON, ICONOCLASTIC HERALD Raymond J. Seeger 4507 Wetherill Road Bethesda, MD 20816 From: PSCF (June 1989): 107-108. J ohn Evelyn's frontispiece in the "History of the Royal Society" (1667) by Thomas Sprat, Bishop of Rochester, depicts a bust of Charles 11. Founder and Patron, on a pedestal: on the left is the figure of the first F.R.S., the Irish mathematician William Brouncker; on the right, that of Francis Bacon, Artium Instouratio (restorer of the arts). In the preface the poet Abraham Cowley F.R.S., in his "Ode to the Royal Society," wrote: "Bacon, like Moses, led us forth at last." Sprat confessed that he himself would have preferred "no other preface but some of Bacon's writings." Bacon was basically a contemplative philosopher, but he chose to be a man of affairs in the world-he had two conflicting ambitions, to hold books and to raise a gavel. Although he became successfully Sir Francis at 42, Baron Verulam of Verulam (after the capital of Roman Britain) at 57, and Viscount St. Albans at 60, he is represented more truthfully by his burial monument in St. Michael's Church, St. Albans, with the inscription: "sic sedebat" ("thus he used to sit"). He was born January 21, 1561 in York House, London. His father, Sir Nicholas, was Lord Keeper of the Seal. He was from landed gentry; his favorite abode was Gorhamsbury, 2 miles from St. Albans. At 13 Francis entered Trinity College, University of Cambridge; a stronghold of the English Protestant Reformation. A good, but not outstanding student, he left without a degree two years later. He was unreliable with his many benefactions to Trinity, but a statue of him stands in its ante-chapel. His

Chapter3part2 So a quadrature at the time of one Viscount william brouncker, cofounder of theRoyal Society in England, and its first President in 1662, http://doe.ncia.net/~bobmead/chapter3part2.htm
Extractions: Saint-Vincent was born at Ghent in 1584, became a Jesuit teacher practicing in Rome, Prague, and later in Spain. Europe was in turmoil at this time, and as a result of his uprootings, Saint-Vincent became separated from his papers. In them he had the keys to solving the quadrature of the hyperbola, and, he believed, the squaring of the circle as well. His method was correct in the former case, not so in the latter. Since the hyperbola is asymptotic and thus open-ended, we need to define other boundaries in order to have a finite area to measure. In addition to y = 1/x, we arbitrarily make those boundaries the x-axis, and the lines x = 1 and x = b, where b, now known as the upper limit of integration, can be any positive number. In his Geometrical Work on the Squaring of the Circle and of Conic Sections , published in 1647, some 25 years after his discovery, Saint-Vincent advanced the notion that if the upper limits were increased by a factor, that is, if they grew geometrically, the associated areas would grow arithmetically. See Figure 1. Specifically, the area under 1/x from x = 1 to x = b is the natural logarithm (in base e) of the number b. The appendix also shows how this base number can be established.

The feeling of dissatisfaction with the older philosophical approach had begun much earlier and had produced other results, such as the Protestant Reformation, but the revolution in science began with the work of Copernicus, Paracelsus, Vesalius, and others in the 16th cent. and reached full flower in the 17th cent.

Extractions: Chronology of Pure and Applied Mathematics Egyptian mathematicians employ primitive fractions. Pythagoras studies propositional geometry and vibrating lyre strings. Eudoxus states the method of exhaustion for area determination. Aristotle discusses logical reasoning in Organon. Euclid studies geometry as an axiomatic system in Elements and states the law of reflection in Catoptrics. Archimedes computes pi to two decimal places using inscribed and cirumscribed polygons and computes the area under a parabolic segment. Apollonius writes On Conic Sections and names the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. Diophantus writes Arithmetica, the first systematic treatise on algebra. Tsu Ch'ung-Chih and Tsu Keng-Chih compute pi to six decimal places. Hindu mathematicians give zero a numeral representation in a positional notation system. Leonardo Fibonacci demonstrates the utility of Arabic numerals in his Book of the Abacus. Ghiyathal-Kashi computes pi to sixteen decimal places using inscribed and cirumscribed polygons. Scipione Ferro develops a method for solving cubic equations.

Extractions: The central figures, under the arch, are Plato (left) and Aristotle: Newton obviously included himself in their company. His student notebook, "Quaestiones Quaedam Philosophicae" ("Certain Philosophical Questions"), begun sometime in 1664, started with the slogan "Amicus Plato amicus Aristoteles magis amica veritas" - Plato is my friend, Aristotle is my friend, but my best friend is truth. Musicians and musical theorists had been aware of a relationship between proportion and harmony since antiquity. Western thought, generally, became saturated with notions of harmonic relationships connecting all things - the heavens, the earth below, the human body and soul. In "Timaeus", the only Platonic dialogue known to the West in the Dark Ages, the very structure of the heavens had been described as a cosmic harmony, with Pythagorean musical ratios offsetting the planets and stars from the earth in proper proportions. In the Myth of Er in "Republic X", Plato gave the heavenly bodies colours, as they appeared in the sky (Mars is 'reddish', for example), but each of their orbits was given a siren, singing an eight-fold harmony accompanied by the Fates, while the whole arrangement turned on a spindle: "a line of light, straight as a column, extending right through the whole heaven and through the earth, in colour resembling the rainbow, only brighter and purer."
