http://www.phys.uu.nl/~huygens/hug_biblio1_en.htm

Extractions: One should be aware that as an overview of Huygens' work and influence, a mere list of his publications is only of relative value. In many cases, Huygens was rather slow to publish his discoveries, or simply to finish something off. Several writings only saw the light many years after they had been conceived and some works Huygens planned to write were never printed during his lifetime. This is the case for instance for his work on centrifugal force, which is presently considered one of his greatest achievements, and for his treatise on dioptrics. However, this does not mean that the works he kept in manuscript remained totally unknown. The printed word was decidedly less important as a means of communication in the seventeenth century than it is nowadays. Learned correspondence between scholars or communications to scientific academies had something of a 'public' character as well. Huygens waged an intensive correspondence with many scholars at home and abroad, and for many years was a leading member of the Paris Academy of Sciences. Moreover, one should keep in mind that Huygens was not just a theoretician, but also a very competent maker and inventor of instruments and other apparatus: clocks, telescopes, air-pumps, planetaria, and so on. Much of his theoretical work was related to these more practical activities, and his inventions often were based on elaborate theoretical considerations. Thus, Huygens influence went not only by the printed word. Much of it was embodied in instruments and designs. Some of these were officially registered by patents.

Extractions: DE SATURNI LUNA OBSERVATIO NOVA (1656) In this pamphlet, printed on 5 March 1656 in Den Haag by Adriaan Vlacq, Christiaan Huygens announced his discovery (made nearly a year earlier) of a moon orbiting around Saturn, at that time the outermost known planet in our solar system. During the months when he followed the planet and its moon he also found an explanation for the mysterious appendices that several astronomers had claimed to see in their telescopes. However, when Christiaan Huygens published his discovery of Saturn's moon, he felt that he needed more observations before he could confidently announce his second great discovery about Saturn. He therefore choose to announce his hypothesis in the form of an anagram, the solution of which he would later reveal in a more detailed study on the planet Saturn No copies are known to exist of the original pamphlet that Christiaan Huygens sent to his correspondents and friends. However, the text of the pamphlet was also inserted by the printer Adriaan Vlacq at the end of the book by Pierre Borel on the invention of the telescope ( De vero telescopii inventore ) that was published later in the year.

http://www.thocp.net/reference/sciences/mathematics/logarithm_hist.htm

Extractions: Logarithms are a shortcut for Exponents: 10^2 = 100 The present definition of the logarithm is the exponent or power to which a stated number, called the base, is raised to yield a specific number. The logarithm of 100 to the base 10 is 2 This is written: log 10 100 = 2 Many people throughout time have been accredited with the production and development of logarithms. However, there is one man who is responsible for the invention of the logarithm. That man is the Scotsman, John Napier . Napier is placed within a short lineage of mathematical thinkers beginning with Archimedes and more recent geniuses, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Short bio of John Napier Napier not only "invented" logarithms, he had many other achievements in his lifetime. Among these accomplishments were revolutionary methods for tilling and fertilizing soil and a number of "Secret Inventions" to defend his country from Philip of Spain. These inventions include the round chariot with firepower and heavy protection (the idea behind the tank); an underwater ship (the submarine); and an artillery piece which would mow down a field of soldiers (the machine gun). It is rumored that while testing his machine gun, he took out an entire flock of sheep in a pasture outside of his estate. After witnessing the destructive power his invention possessed, he swore never to make another gun or give the information on how to make one to anyone.

http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/spcl/excat/berlin/science.html

Extractions: Paris: Sebastian Cramoisy, 1621 The Greek mathematician, Diophantos of Alexandria, one of the greatest algebraists in history, composed his Arithmetica in the second half of the third century A.D. Only six of the original thirteen books of this earliest extant work on algebra have survived, along with his tract on polygonal numbers. Some of the problems found in the Arithmetica result in various forms of determinate equations; the majority, however, lead to indeterminate equations (hence indeterminate analysis is often termed "Diophantine analysis"). While Latin translations of Diophantos had appeared as early as 1572, the Greek text was not available until Claude-Gaspar Bachet de Meziriac issued this edition in both Greek and Latin at Paris in 1621.

All subsequent log tables are copies of Vlacq's. In 1633 he also published tables of the logs of the trigonometric functions. 7. Means of Support

While the principle on which it is based was introduced by Coriolis in 1836, it was in 1878 that Abdank-Abakanowitz first developed a practical working model. The integraph is an elaboration and extension of the planimeter, an earlier, simpler instrument used to measure area. It is a mechanical instrument capable of deriving the integral curve corresponding to a given curve. Hence, it is capable of solving graphically a simple differential equation. Sets of partial differential equations are commonly encountered in mathematical physics. Most branches of physics such as aerodynamics, electricity, acoustics, plasma physics, electron-physics and nuclear energy involve complex flows, motions and rates of change which maybe described mathematically by partial differential equations. A well-established example from electromagnetics is the set of partial differential equations known as Maxwell's equations. In practice, differential equations can be difficult to integrate, that is to solve. The integraph is capable of solving only simple differential equations. The need to handle sets of more complex non-linear differential equations, led Vannevar Bush to develop the Differential Analyzer at MIT in the early 1930s. In turn, limitations in speed, capacity and accuracy of the Bush Differential Analyzer provided the impetus for the development of the ENIAC during World War II.
