Extractions: Hudde, Jan 1. Dates Born: Amsterdam, April or May 1628. He was baptized on 23 May. Died: Amsterdam, 15 April 1704 Dateinfo: Dates Certain Lifespan: 2. Father Occupation: Merchant, Aristocrat Gerrit Hudde, a merchant and patrician. Considering Hudde's career, the father must have been affluent at the very least, and Hudde must have inherited an adequate estate. 3. Nationality Birth: Dutch Career: Dutch Death: Dutch 4. Education Schooling: Leiden He studied law in Leiden about 1648. Here he met mathe- matics through Schooten. There is no mention of a degree. 5. Religion Affiliation: Calvinist by assumption 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics Subordinate: Optics His contribution to mathematics came entirely during the years 1654-63. There is no evidence that he did any further work in mathematics after 1663. He was also interested in optics. He produced microscopes with spherical lenses and worked with Spinoza on the construction of telescopic lenses. His correspondence with Spinoza indicates that he composed a Dioptrica. 7.

Extractions: Picard, Jean 1. Dates Born: La Flèche, 21 July 1620 Died: Paris, 12 October 1682 Dateinfo: Dates Certain Lifespan: 2. Father Occupation: Pub Picard's father was almost certainly Jean Picard, a bookseller in La Flèche; possibly I should consider him a small merchant in a provincial town, but I am listing everyone connected with the book trade under "Pub." Nothing is known of Picard's youth. No information on financial status. 3. Nationality Birth: French Career: French Death: French 4. Education Schooling: Paris, M.A. Picard probably did his early studies at the Jesuit college at La Flèche. Considerably later he earned an M.A. from Paris is 1650. As usual, I assume a B.A. There is no indication of what he did between La Flèche and his studies in Paris, a period of about twelve years. 5. Religion Affiliation: Catholic Picard was ordained a priest in 1650. He held at least four benefices. 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Astronomy, Cartography, Instrumentation Subordinate: Physics, Optics, Hydraulics The usual story of Picard is that he was the gardener of the Duke of Crequi. Jacques de Valois, having met Picard, inspired him to make astronomical observations. The Picolet volume demonstrates that this story is not true. Picard became very involved in astronomy and made observations with Gassendi in Paris in the period 1645 to 1652. With Auzout he perfected the movable-wire micrometer and utilized it to measure the diameter of the sun, moon, and planets. In 1667 Picard applied the astronomical telescope to the quadrant and the sector expanding their usefulness in observations. He made other innovations in instrumentation as well.

They desired a better understanding of gambling odds. Some study about dice date even earlier. There are recorded attempts to understand odds dating back to Roman times. Cardano published Liber de Ludo Alea (Book on Games of Chance) in 1526. He discusses dice as well stakes games. He then computes fair stakes based on the number of outcomes. He was also aware of independent events and the multiplication rule: if A and B are independent events then Cardano discussed this problem: How many throws must be allowed to provide even odds for attaining two sixes on a pair of dice? Cardano reasoned it should be 18. He also argued that with a single dice, three rolls are required for even odds of rolling a 2. He was wrong. This type problem still challenges undergraduate math majors to this day.

Extractions: The "recent" part of the information is from the Mathematics Genealogy Project . For the older part, I have relied on biographies; here "advising" needs to be interpreted more broadly than the supervision of doctoral theses. Resources consulted include, among others, Mac Tutor Wikipedia , the Catholic Encyclopedia , the Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon , the Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie , and the Dictionary of Scientific Biography. The online catalogs of several German university libraries, most notably Halle-Wittenberg, Tuebingen, and Leipzig, were also helpful. Goertler's name is often associated with Ludwig Prandtl. Indeed, he worked under Prandtl during the period following his doctorate. The work on Goertler vortices was done in Prandtl's lab. There were two scientists named Robert Daublebsky von Sterneck, who were father and son. The one in the table is the son; he is known for computational work related to the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The father was a surveying engineer in the Austrian military. Frischauf is known for his contributions to mountaineering in Slovenia in addition to work in astronomy and cartography. The Oesterreichisches Biographisches Lexikon says he studied mathematics and physics under Moth and Petzval. I was unable to find specifics.

Extractions: Biographical Information: Frans van Schooten (1615-1660) was the son of Frans van Schooten, a professor at the engineering school in Leiden who was also involved with military engineering projects. Little is known about Schooten (the younger) prior to his enrollment in the university in Leiden in 1631. Though he received an intense education in mathematics, there is no mention of him completing his degree. While in Leiden in 1637 Schooten met Rene Descartes and developed a close and strong relationship with him, evening reading the proofs of Descartes Geometry. Soon afterwards with an introduction from Descartes, Schooten left the confines of Leiden, and traveled abroad to meet members of the mathematical communities in London and Paris (Mersennes circle). His travels lasted until 1643, after which time he returned to Leiden and published the works of Viète and Descartes. He became an assistant to his father at the university, and two years later in 1645, upon the death of his father, received his fathers position at the university. Schooten became one of the main people to promote the spread of Cartesian geometry, and trained many students including Jan DeWitt, Christian Huygens, Johann Hudde, and Hendrick van Heuraet. Schootens own work, the Geometria a Renato Des Cartes , appeared in two volumes 1659-1661. But many considered Schootens contributions to mathematics modest at best, especially his 1657 work
