The book contains the first description of a case of what was presumably tuberculosis of the bone. He carried out morphological and microscopic investigations on human bones, using chemical reagents in order to bring out the fine structure. In 1720 he did a close study of the pneumonia epidemic raging in Rome. His study was anatomicopathological in approach and based on carefully conducted autopsies. The study led to his Relazione de' male di petto , 1720. He also published other medical works.

Extractions: Jeremiah Horrox possessed one of the most original minds of the seventeenth century. A follower of Tycho, Horrox combined a gift for instrumentation with a theoretical genius that later won the acclaim of Hevelius and Flamsteed. His contributions to the lunar theory were the first significant advances on the subject since antiquity, and earned the praise of Newton himself in the pages of Principia. Image provided by , Chorley G Opera Posthuma in 1673, says that he was in his twenty third year. However, Horrocks matriculated at the University of Cambridge on 5 July 1632, and for this he had to be fourteen according to the regulations. His birth was therefore between January and July 1618. The actual place of his birth and childhood is a subject of some dispute. Toxteth Park was a former deer park, and had two lodges when it was de-parked in 1591. By the first years of the 17th century some twenty houses and a couple of mills had been built, causing a contemporary reference to Toxteth as a Hamlet without a chapel.

Note : please remember that the Investigator began more than 30 years ago, therefore some names and buildings have since disappeared into history. It is pleasing to note that most of the streets in Queenscliff proper carry the names of either the officers of the Rattlesnake which surveyed Port Phillip Bay in 1837, or well known pioneers of the Port Phillip District as the following list shows in many instances. Bay Street This name is self explanatory and shows lack of imagination. Surely there are one or two Queenscliff pioneers who still deserve recognition! Beach Street Same comment as for Bay Street! Bethune Street This street probably commemorates the name of Walter Angus Bethune (1794-1885), a merchant and settler in Van Diemen's Land from 1821. He was also a breeder of high class merino sheep at the time Port Phillip was settled and they were in great demand among the new settlers on the mainland. Bridge Street Originally Fish Street, where the Government is said to have provided land to accredited fishermen at £1 per year (probably when the railway interfered with the original sites). No doubt pressure from the residents caused a change in name.

A long pier from the mainland serves ships bringing in the raw materials from which the aluminium is made. The only sealed road is the Point Henry Road which leaves the Portarlington Road at Moolap and travels between an area of light industries to the right and the saltpans of the former Cheetham solar saltworks to the left.

Extractions: Pascal Triangle - History There are some proofs that this number triangle was familiar to the Arab astronomer, poet and mathematician Omar Khayyam as early as the XI century. Most probably the number triangle came to Europe from China through Arabia. The Chinese representation of the binomial coefficients, often equally called Pascal`s Triangle being found in his work published for the first time after his death ( in 1665 ) and dealing with figurate numbers, is found for the first time on the title page of the European Arithmetic written by Appianus, in 1527. Blaise Pascal was not the first man in Europe to study the binomial coefficients, and never claimed to be such; indeed, both Blaise Pascal and his father Etienne had been in correspondence with Father Marin Mersenne, who published a book with a table of binomial coefficients in 1636. Many authors discussed the ideas with respect to expansions of binomials, answers to combinatorial problems and figurate numbers, numbers relating to figures such as triangles, squares, tetrahedra and pyramids.

Extractions: IN B RITAIN AND I RELAND Bryn Jones This page lists the people who held various historic astronomical posts in Britain and Ireland. The emphasis is on state, observatory and university postions to the end of the nineteenth century , but the lists have been continued to the present date for the sake of completeness in some of these cases. As such, many important university positions created in the twentieth century are not included; for example the Perren chair at University College London or the Napier chair at St. Andrews. Positions in private observatories are not included. There are many instances of wealthy patrons establishing their own observatories and employing staff to perform observations. The Royal Greenwich Observatory employed a very large number of people from its foundation in 1675 to its closure in 1998, firstly at Greenwich, later at Herstmonceux in Sussex, and then in the 1980s and 1990s at Cambridge. The most significant posts were those of the Astronomer Royal, later the Director, the Chief Assistants, and assistants. Astronomer Royal (Astronomer Royal for England), 1675-1971

Extractions: Photographs Map and Access Details Links HISTORY The Lighthouse/Timeball Tower situated at Point Gellibrand in Williamstown was erected in 1852, and replaced earlier navigational aids established from the time of the first settlement in 1835. The unusual square plan form is distinctive amongst lighthouses in Victoria, and is of technical and creative interest. The first lighthouse was built at Point Gellibrand, Williamstown, in 1839-40. This timber structure was replaced with a square bluestone lighthouse tower, designed by Henry Ginn. The bluestone section has battered lower stories featuring rusticated masonry with smooth string courses and originally had a castellated parapet with mast and spherical, copper plate timeball above. The masonry was quarried and worked by convict labour. Four lamps were shining in May 1849; a larger lamp was installed in August 1849. A timeball apparatus mounted on top of the bluestone tower operated regularly until 1926. Its original use was as a signalling device to ships. From 1858 until 1926 the large ball on the top was dropped each afternoon at one o'clock to allow shipmasters moored offshore to correct their chronometers. The Timeball Tower/Lighthouse had an additional time signal at eight o'clock each night by means of eclipsing the lantern of the lighthouse. The timeball ceased to operate in August 1926 and the apparatus was dismantled. In 1932, the Timeball Tower was adapted for use as a lighthouse by increasing the height to 98ft by the addition of a circular brick tower 30ft in height. A large copper ball encircled the mast and rested in a catcher cup of iron when not in use. The lighthouse operated in this fashion until 1987. In 1989, the circular brick tower was removed by the Williamstown Historical Society so that the square tower could be restored and the timeball apparatus replaced.

This statement , uttered by Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz in 1685, could well be taken as one of the manifestos of modern computing, and the seventeenth century witnesses a true outburst of inventions in this area, powered by pivotal mathematical research. Note : Before we continue, notice that we seem to have skipped the Renaissance . The Renaissance is usually considered to have started in Italy, specifically in Florence, as early as the end of the thirteenth century. By the fifteenth century all of Italy was experiencing this rebirth, but it was only in the sixteenth century that the rest of Europe can be considered to have entered the Renaissance in full. Chronologically at least, and for the purposes of this course, we will use the term Middle Ages to include at least the early Renaissance. After all, the (Late) Middle Ages overlap to a considerable degree with the Renaissance, and the latter had different timelines in different parts of Europe, Here is a brief timeline spanning the period considered in this and the following lecture: 1612-1614: John Napier uses the printed decimal point, devises logarithms, and uses numbered sticks, or Napier's Bones, for calculating
