    Extractions: Sophie Germain Introduction Sophie Germain grew up with the revolutions. Not only the American and French Revolutions, but with the revolution in herself. She wanted to be seen as a great mathematician. It took a lot of hard work and going against her family, but she never gave up. She is recognized today for her great work, but credit for number theory, acoustics, and elasticity was never given in her lifetime because of one reason. She was a woman. Germain did great contributations to the Number Theory, acoustics and elasticity. Biography Sophie was not really interested in the study of mathematics until the age of 13 when the French Revolution started. She was confined to her home and spent all her time in her father's libraries. There she learned about the death of Archimedes. Legend was that Archimedes was so engrosed in studing mathematics that he didn't respond to a Roman soldier and was killed. This made Sophia interested, if a guy would die for mathematics than there must be much to learn and study. Thus began her road down the study of mathematics. It was the death of Archimedes that made her want to become a mathematician.

One of these leading roles was played by a very young women (girl), by the name of Marie-Sophie Germain. Similar to many other great mathematicians, she faced countless difficulties, while contributing to various areas. Aside of all her great works, she was never quite given credit to and mostly because of one specific reason, she was a women. Germain contributed most of her work to the areas of number theory, acoustics and elasticity. Biography Marie-Sophie Germain was born on April 1, 1776 in Paris, France. Her father was a quite wealthy silk merchant by the name of Ambriose-Francois who was married to Marie-Madelaine Gruguelin. He later on became a director of the Bank of France and Sophie's home was frequently used as the meeting place for the community that was interested in liberal reforms. It was the death of Archimedes that inspired Germain to study mathematics.

    Extractions: The George Washington University [This text was prepared from the published version of the talk that appeared as Human Computers: the first pioneers of the information age Before computers were machines, they were people. They were men and women, young and old, well educated and common. They were the workers who convinced scientists that large-scale calculation had value. Long before Presper Eckert and John Mauchly built the ENIAC at the Moore School of Electronics or Maurice Wilkes designed the EDSAC for Manchester University, human computers had created the discipline of computation. They developed numerical methodologies and proved them on practical problems. These human computers were not savants, or calculating geniuses. Some knew little more than basic arithmetic. A few were near equals of the scientists they served and in a different time or place, they might have become practicing scientists had they not been barred from a scientific career by their class, their education, their gender or their ethnicity. Comrie was the tireless advocate for employing computing machinery. He had learned about machine computation from Karl Pearson while recuperating from war wounds. Once he had recovered, he enrolled in the graduate astronomy program at Cambridge University where he soon became an active critic of older computing methods used by such groups as the Greenwich Observatory. After completing his studies, he was appointed deputy superintendent of the British Nautical Almanac Office, where adapted commercial accounting machines to prepare almanac computations. He left the Almanac office in 1936 and formed an independent computing lab, the Scientific Computing Service.

    Extractions: The Prony Brake Horsepower testing is the mechanical measuring of the units of Power that an engine or machine is capable of producing. More specifically we are measuring Brake Horsepower - the effective horsepower or the amount of work that is produced at its final output. One method of doing this is by the use of a dynamometer. A dynamometer is a device that measures Force. In one common type of dynamometer, the force is measured by braking action. One of the first such dynamometers was developed by the French mathematician, Gaspard de Prony (1755-1839) and is called a Prony Brake. The principle of the Prony Brake is that an engine or motor is directly coupled to a drum that has a tensioned, friction belt around it. As the drum revolves, the frictional force is measured. Before we explain the operation of the Prony Brake any further, lets define Horsepower and understand the equations we will be using. Straight Line Horsepower Horsepower is a British unit for Power defined as the equivalent to the force needed to move 550 pounds, one foot, in one second or one pound, 550 feet, in one second.

He also start plans for the Analytical engine. But it will be his son that realizes the project in part. Biography Charles Babbage was born in London on December 26, 1792 , the son of Benjamin Babbage, a London banker. As a youth Babbage was his own instructor in algebra, of which he was passionately fond, and was well-read in the continental mathematics of his day. Upon entering Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1811, he found himself far in advance of his tutors in mathematics. With Herschel, Peacock, and others, Babbage founded the Analytical Society for promoting continental mathematics and, reforming the mathematics of Newton, then taught at the university.

Second, and following on from this idea, my project is not centred on the technical details of scientific and technological developments per se. My idea is rather to see how the technical elements of the WWII regime have intertwined with, and helped to constitute, major cultural transformations in the postwar period. I want, that is, to explore the extent to which we live in a technoscientific culture built out of elements of the WWII regime. WWII ii) This opening of boundaries hung together with a transformation of the inner practice of both science and the military. Science became the now-familiar big science at places like the MIT Radiation Laboratory; while warfare took on a new and distinctly technoscientific aspect. iii) One link between these transformations of practice was the production and circulation of material devices, radar sets, for example, developed by scientists at the Rad Lab and put to use in antisubmarine warfare.
