Extractions: VIETE of 1593 A.D. DID! by Don Hewey, email: donhewey@k-online.com main index NOTE : This outline will clearly illustrate the "inside" circumference of the molten sea (solid brass tub) which is the non-brimmed portion of the molten sea. The confusion over 1 Kings 7:23 is that the reader automatically assumes that the thirty cubits stated in verse 23 is the corresponding circumference of the outer uttermost brimmed edge. It is not. For a complete discussion on the outer portion of the molten sea, please refer to this link here that gives the proof. outer circumference proof . The exact physical represention as it is written in verse 23 is physically impossible as one should immediately become suspicious of. But with further examination of this outline and also the "yfiles" link, the bible not only proves PI once, but twice! Amazing. Please refer to the molten sea diagram representation half way down this page for an illustration to this problem. "1 Kings 7:[23] And he made a molten sea, ten

Extractions: Pi greco attraverso i secoli Un versetto poco noto della Bibbia riporta: E costruì un bacino di metallo, lungo dieci cubiti da un capo all'altro: era rotondo, alto cinque cubiti: e la circonferenza era di trenta cubiti. (I Re 7, 23) Lo stesso verso è riportato in II Cronache 4, 2. Si trova in una lista di specifiche per il grande tempio di Salomone, costruito intorno al 950 a.C. ed il suo interesse per noi è che fornisce p = 3. Non è certo una stima accurata e non lo era neanche in quei tempi, giacché i valori egiziani e mesopotamici di 25/8 = 3.125 e 10 = 3.162 risalgono a date ben anteriori: sebbene in difesa dei costruttori di Salomone debba essere notato che l'oggetto descritto era costituito da un'unica colata di ottone molto ampia, dove un alto grado di precisione geometrica non era possibile né necessario.Ci sono alcune interpretazioni di ciò (se il diametro fosse misurato internamente e la circonferenza esternamente, ad esempio) che conducono a un valore molto più accurato. Il fatto che il rapporto tra la circonferenza e il diametro di un cerchio sia costante è noto da così lungo tempo che la sua origine è pressoché irrintracciabile. I più antichi valori di

Extractions: Why did Chu Hsi (1130-1200, right) elevate Chou Tun-i (1017-1073, left) to the position of the first true Confucian sage since Mencius (4 th "T'ai-chi Diagram" ( T'ai-chi-t'u ) had originated in Taoist circles, and that Chou's term wu-chi , in his "Explanation of the T'ai-chi Diagram" ( T'ai-chi-t'u shuo ), was a Taoist term that had never been used by Confucians (with good reason, according to Lu). Nevertheless, Chu's position eventually prevailed, and ever since then Chou Tun-i has traditionally been listed as the "founding ancestor" of the movement as constructed by Chu Hsi. Chu may have lost the battle, but he certainly won the war. The two aspects of the problem, then, are (1) why was Chu Hsi willing to transparently try to explain away Chou Tun-i's evident debts to Taoism, and (2) why was he so intent on declaring Chou to be the first Confucian sage since Mencius? I will argue that a fuller understanding Chou Tun-i's use of Taoist and possibly Buddhist categories is the key to his significance for Chu Hsi. I will further argue that this understanding of Chu Hsi's appropriation of Chou Tun-i leads to a useful reinterpretation of some of Chu Hsi's central concepts. More specifically, I will propose that the key to Chu Hsi's evaluation of Chou Tun-i - and to his interpretation of

Extractions: Hobart and William Smith College s Summary This article deals with an important and intriguing aspect of the history of Buddhism in China The subject in question is discussed under several headings, beginning with the documented relationship between the relics and imperial rulership culled from various secular and Buddhist accounts. All accounts point to the magical property of the legendary A`soka relics which fascinated a number of emperors, kings, and princes before the T'ang dynasty. These accounts recognize the theurgies associated with the relics and their proselytizing effect, thus reflecting the influence of their lore upon themselves. To elaborate this point, the second portion of this paper centers on the discussion of how the lore was transformed into a historical, or strictly speaking, a quasi-historical narrative. The works of Tao-hsuan, a renowned Buddhist writer, are used to exemplify the complicated process of this transformation. Tao-hsuan's story about Liu Sa-he and his finding of the relics at the Ch'ang-kan ssu is discussed in detail within the context of imperial veneration.

Extractions: Edited by Victor H. Mair Admirers of the monumental original edition of Victor H. Mair's Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature have long clamored for a shorter, more affordable version. In response, Columbia University Press now offers an abridged volume, which, like the original, includes selections of Chinese literature from the beginnings to 1919. This shorter anthology retains the characteristics of the original in that it is arranged according to genre rather than chronology and interprets "literature" very broadly to include not just literary fiction, poetry, and drama, but folk and popular literature, lyrics and arias, elegies and rhapsodies, biographies, autobiographies and memoirs, letters, criticism and theory, and travelogues and jokes. It also contains fresh translations by newer voices in the field. Acclaim for The Columbia Anthology of Traditional Chinese Literature "Innovative, talented, lively, and splendidly readable."

Extractions: [Yale College Course of Study Listing for CSPC 360a (BR)] Thursday 7-9 pm; Room LC105 SCHEDULE OF SEMINAR PRESENTATIONS I was surprised to walk into the first session of this class"The History of Math"and see that there were only three other girls in the class of twenty of people. My suitemates had all rolled their eyes at me when I told them I was going to take this class. But the truth is that I want to enjoy and understand math and I thought that if I put math into the context of its impact on the world, I might see more of a significance to sigma notation and infinite series. Yet the question still remains as to why Iand more importantly, so many girls in generalare intimidated by math to begin with. Many scientists argue that men and women have brains which are wired differently, creating different gender-based skills. However, it is very difficult to separate the inherent biological functioning and structure of the brain from the way in which the brain is shaped from its responses to stimuli in the environment. In other words, it is hard to say whether some girls gravitate away from math because their brains have been developed to excel at other things or because society has told them they should be good at other things.

Extractions: Author David Aspinwall to neijia list 12 Oct 1994 Since there's been some confusion about pinyin lately, heres a table mapping between pinyin, Wade-Giles, and Yale romanization systems. I've modified this from an index file created by Ed Lai. Colons are meant to be umlauts. For English speakers, Yale is the most intuitive system. If you want to make a half-assed guess as to the pronounciation of a word, Yale is a good starting point. Pinyin is the standard system in China, and is used by most newspapers in the U.S. now. Wade-Giles used to be the most common system, and is still seen in many books. Sponsor Taiji Collection

Extractions: Tallet pi På denne side vil du finde væsentlige dele af historien om, hvordan man fik bestemt konstanten pi ( p ) med større og større præcision. Historien er lang og broget. Der var ikke altid tale om fremskridt. Undertiden anvendte man approksimationer for pi, som var mindre nøjagtige end tidligere anvendte, undertiden fordi den opnåede viden ikke blev udbredt på tværs af kulturer. Tallet pi ( p ) vil vi i dag definere som forholdet mellem omkredsen og diameteren i en vilkårlig cirkel . At dette forhold er det samme uanset cirklens størrelse fremgår af, at omkredsen og diameteren er proportionale størrelser. Dette forhold i cirklen har naturligvis været af praktisk interesse lige så længe civilisationer af en vis udviklingsgrad har eksisteret. Den første fremkomst af et selvstændigt symbol for dette forhold hændte langt senere. Første gang det nuværende symbol p blev benyttet for det pågældende forhold er i 1706 af englænderen William Jones . Det slog ikke straks an i matematikerkredse, men efterhånden begyndte store matematikere som
Extractions: The research notebook of a beleaguered hack. Struik: A Concise History of Mathematics: The Orient after the Decline of the Greek Society Despite Hellenistic influence, Near Eastern thought remained intact, as is evidenced by work in Alexandria, India, and Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire served as a guardian for Greek culture while the Indus region and Mesopotamia became independent. The sudden growth of Islam ended Greek domination. Arabic administration and language competed with and conquered Greek culture in much of the Mediterranean. As the roman empire declined the center of math research shifted from Alexandria to India and Mesopotamia. The Surya Siddhanta shows an influence of Greek and Babylonian astronomy. Aryabhata (c. 500) and Brahmagupta (c 625) were the best known. Mahavira considered rational triangles and quadrilaterals. General solutions for indeterminate equations of the first degree (ax+by =c) is found in Brahmagupta. Bhaskara admitted negative roots of equations and his Lilavati became a standard text for arithmetic and mensuration. Nilakantha (c. 1500) had already found the Gregory Leibniz series for pi/4.
