Extractions: HASSLER MEMORIAL TABLET DEDICATED On December 2nd, the Information Services Division sponsored a ceremony in the Green Auditorium to dedicate the Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler Memorial, which was recently installed in the Administration Building Lobby. Hassler, the first Superintendent of Weights and Measures for the United States, is considered the forefather of NIST. President Jackson appointed him to lead the nation's first efforts to standardize weights and measures in 1830. The Swiss-born scientist also served as the first Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey, and as such is an important figure in the history of NOAA as well. Representatives from NOAA and the Hassler family joined NIST representatives for the ceremony.

A New Translation of Newtons Principia The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy ISBN 0-520-08816-6 hc (0-520-08817-4 pb) Reviewed by Alan E. Shapiro Virtually everyone who has read Newtons Principia in English has read it in the translation by Andrew Motte as revised by Florian Cajori. The MotteCajori edition was published by the University of California Press in 1934 and has long been available in paperback. Mottes standard English translation from the Latin appeared in 1729, two years after Newtons death, and by 1934 it was certainly archaic and in need of replacement. For many years, scholars have recognized that Cajoris revision of Mottes translation was inadequate: It was awkward, often inaccurate, and it was based on the second and not the final (third) edition of the Principia . I. Bernard Cohen and Anne Whitman have presented us with an entirely new English translation of the

cajori, florian A history of mathematical notations 2 vols. Chicago Open Court,1928 Encyclopedia Britannica. 24 vols. Chicago Benton, 1959
http://www.faculty.fairfield.edu/jmac/sj/scientists/ricci.htm

Extractions: Ricci's success was due to his personal qualities, his complete adaptation to Chinese customs (choosing the attire of a Chinese scholar) and to his authoritative knowledge of the sciences. He is remembered for his Chinese works on religious and moral topics, as well as works on scientific topics such as the astrolabe, sphere, arithmetic, measure and isoperimetrics. It is still possible to visit his tomb in the Peking suburbs. The Encyclopedia Britannica reports, "Probably no European name of past centuries is so well known in China as that of Li-ma-teu (Ricci Matteo)." Ricci's contributions to geography included his calculation of the breadth of China, which was three-quarters of the breadth assumed by Western geographers. At the time Ricci's maps of China were considered more accurate even than the contemporary maps of Europe. Also he identified China and Peking with the Cathay Marco Polo, and he shares this latter recognition with another Jesuit, a Coadjutor Brother, Benedetto de Goes, S.J., who made a journey from India to China during the years 1602-1605, in order to verify that China and Cathay were the same.

Extractions: Notes Prepared by Porter Johnson Information Carl Martikean [Proviso East HS, Physics] called attention to the article entitled Cruise Control , which appeared on Dr Dobb's Journal , November 2004: http://www.ddj.com . The article involves developing a (rather elaborate) strategy for tracking a fugitive on a desert road at night, using a network of sensors that have limited capability. Once again, kinematics comes to the rescue! Thanks, Carl! George Krupa has indicated that there will be a Future City Competition in connection with National Engineers Week , in February 2005.

cajori, florian 1928, A History of Mathematical Notations, Open Court Publications,Chicago. Popper, Karl 1972, Objective Knowledge, Oxford University
http://www.hum.au.dk/engelsk/engsv/theory.htm

Extractions: a few Quotations from Popper and from Smith An observation is always preceded by a particular interest, a question, or a problem - in short, by something theoretical. After all, we can put every question in the form of a hypothesis or conjecture to which we add: 'Is this so? Yes or no?' Thus we can assert that every observation is preceded by a problem, a hypothesis (or whatever we may call it); at any rate by something that interests us, by something theoretical or speculative. (Popper 1972:259) Any attempt to provide explanations presupposes a theory. The difference between so-called theory-neutral and theoretically based explanations is not really one between the presence and absence of an appeal to theory, but a difference in the sophistication and depth of the two theories involved.

Extractions: "Every meaningful mathematical statement can also be expressed in plain language. Many plain-language statements of mathematical expressions would fill several pages, while to express them in mathematical notation might take as little as one line. One of the ways to achieve this remarkable compression is to use symbols to stand for statements, instructions and so on." Lancelot Hogben Index The factorial symbol n!
