Extractions: The mystery of Sacrobosco. One of the most intriguing historical mysteries was whether Ioannes de Sacrobosco, or John of Holywood, was Irish, English or a Scot. Ioannes de Sacrobosco was the author of a handful of widely read medieval texts on astronomy and mathematics. For hundreds of years his name was a household word to any student of the liberal arts - that is arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, grammar, rhetoric, logic and music. Almost all the dates for Sacrobosco are guesses except for one: we know that on June 5, 1221, he was appointed as a master at the University of Paris and soon after became Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy. He was one of the pioneers of introducing into Western Europe the new Arabic learning on mathematics, astronomy and medicine. At the time he joined the University of Paris he wrote De Algorithmus in which he discussed new methods of calculation. Systems which, today, we take for granted. He then wrote Tractatus de Sphaera Mundi, regarded for a time as the major work on astronomy and the theory of planets, constellations and eclipses.

K's Origami : History Of Origami Mundi, which was written by Johannes de Sacrobosco (john of holywood) in 13thcentury and printed over 60 times through the middle of 17th century, http://origami.ousaan.com/library/historye.html
Extractions: We know very little about the origin of origami. Some say origami originated in China around 2000 years ago. But it is probably wrong. This opinion is based on the conjecture that origami started right after the invention of paper, for which we have no evidence. The paper of Former Han dynasty shows no trace of origami. The Chinese character for paper, zhi, originally stood for writing material made of silk. The origin of the Japanese word for paper, kami, is said to be birch tree, kaba, or strips of wood or bamboo, kan. Both of them were also writing material. These suggest that paper was primarily writing material, not folding. Others say origami originated from Japan in Heian era. Again, it is probably wrong. They refer to a story of Abe-no Seimei who made a paper bird and turned it to a real one, or another story about Fujiwara-no Kiyosuke who sent his ex-girlfriend a fake frog. There is no reason, however, for believing that they folded paper to make them. In Japan, we use wrapping paper called tatogami or tato. Today we mainly wrap kimono with it. It actually dates back to Heian era. But it is by no means an example of origami, since it is folded just squarely.

Extractions: Essex CM1 4TN In this article two particular features of the presentation of multiplication tables (or, more accurately, the multiplication table, as it was always referred to) in textbooks are considered namely, the range of numbers to be included in the table and the organisation of the results on the page. The texts in question are all in English and cover the period from around 1300 (when what is thought to be the earliest arithmetical manuscript in English was written) to 1900, after which separate textbooks tended to be written for the Primary and Secondary schools, the latter not usually including tables at all and the former often giving results in partial form at different stages. (However, there was, and still is, considerable variation.) In all some 45 texts are considered. Dates in the body of this text refer to year of original publication. commutative principle (e.g. 3 x 4 = 4 x 3) and thus require children to learn nearly twice as many results as they need.

Busbridge, who was appointed to a lecturership in mathematics at St Hugh's College in 1938, and who was a fellow of the College from 1945 to 1970. She died in 1988. It is reproduced here without revision, as it was printed in a Mathematical Institute pamphlet in 1974. Much has happened in Oxford since then, but her account is still of great interest. Foreword The following account of mathematics at Oxford was first given as my presidential address to the Invariant Society in 1961 and I have repeated it three times at the request of the Society, each time making modifications resulting from further reading. At no time had I any thought of publication and I kept no detailed account of the exact sources of my information. My greatest debt is to R.T. Gunther's Early Science in Oxford and to C.E. Mallet's
