    Extractions: Home Classifieds Today's Joke SHOP ... Agnes Sampson Elizabeth Fairfax Somerville Scientist and Mathematician (1780-1872) Mary Fairfax Somerville was one the most important scientists of the nineteenth century. She was important less for her contribution to the advancement of the boundaries of knowledge, than to the advancement of the distribution of knowledge. Mary was a brilliant interpreter of scientific knowledge. She had a talent for evaluating, organising and presenting complex mathematical and scientific concepts in accessible and readable forms. Her book " Mechanisms of the Heavens ", published in 1831, became a standard text in higher mathematics for the next seventy years. Remarkable for a woman who received no formal childhood education. The family home in Burntisland Born in Jedburgh in 1780, Mary's childhood was spent in Burntisland. Quality Street, Burntisland to be precise. Mary's father, William Fairfax, was a vice-Admiral in the British Navy and the family income was sufficient to afford good quality housing in what, according to the 'Statistical Account of Scotland 1791-1799', was not a wealthy town -

ALL Born in Jedburgh in 1780, Mary Fairfax was the daughter of one of Nelson's captains and in common with most girls of her time and station she was given the kind of education which prized gentility over ability. Nevertheless, she taught herself algebra in secret, and made her reputation in celestial mechanics by predicting the presence of the planet Neptune, before it was discovered. As she was equally interested in art, literature and nature, Somerville's lively memoirs give a fascinating picture of her life and times from childhood in Burntisland to international recognition and retirement in Sorrento. This remarkable woman gave her name to Oxford's Somerville College and became one of the most gifted mathematicians and scientists of the nineteenth century.

    A book on celestial mechanics by mary somerville (1831).  
    http://www.malaspina.com/etext/heavens.htm
    
    Extractions: The Mechanism of the Heavens was the first english language "rendition" of Pierre Simon Laplace's five volume In this work Somerville, who was later known for her predition of the then undiscovered planets Neptune and Pluto, introduced continental mathematics to english speaking readers for the first time This led to a revolution in mathematics in the UK, beginning at Cambridge University where the Mechanism of the Heavens became a standard text in courses on higher mathematics. This second edition of Mechanism of the Heavens is designed to address not only its scarcity, but several deficiencies in the first edition. These include the correction of 140 reported errata and a significant number of unreported errata in the 1831 edition. The unreported errata include obvious printing errors such as page repeats, mislabeled chapters, and obvious printing related mathematical errata. All changes to the text have been clearly identified and the original expressions included in notes at the end of each chapter. We have made no attempt to challenge the mathematical integrity of this work. The Critical Reviews written in 1832 and included in this second edition clearly document the importance of the original text in altering the trajectory of 19th century mathematics in the English speaking world. This annotated second edition includes short biographies of numerous 19th century mathematicians and scientists referred to in the first edition (most of whom were known to Somerville). New non-mathematical annotated

    Biography of mary somerville (17801872) mary somerville was the daughter ofWilliam George Fairfax and his second wife Margaret Charters.  
    http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Somerville.html
    
    Extractions: Version for printing Mary Somerville was the daughter of William George Fairfax and his second wife Margaret Charters. Mary Fairfax was born in the church manse in Jedburgh, the home of her mother's sister Martha Charters and Martha's husband Thomas Somerville. Mary's father was a naval officer, later Vice-Admiral Sir William George Fairfax, who was at sea at the time of her birth. Mary's mother had visited London from where her husband embarked on a long sea voyage. Margaret Fairfax broke her journey north at Jedburgh where Mary was born. The family home was in Burntisland in the county of Fife, Scotland. You can see pictures of the house in Burntisland Mary was the fifth of seven children but three died very young. Of the four remaining children, Mary was brought up with her brother who was three years older than she was. A sister was born when Mary was seven, and a second brother when she was ten. The two brothers were given a good education but, in keeping with the ideas of the time, little need was seen to educate girls so Mary's parents saw no need to provide an education for their daughter. As a young child what little education she did receive was from her mother who taught her to read but it was not considered necessary to teach her to write. When Mary was ten years old she was sent to Miss Primrose's boarding school for girls in Musselburgh (a few miles east of Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth). Burntisland and Musselburgh are on opposite sides of the Firth of Forth, Burntisland on the north, Musselburgh on the south.
