65. A History Of Mathematics At Rutgers ``A history of mathematics at Rutgers . F. Cajori, Teaching and history of mathematics in the United States, Government Printing Office, 1890. http://www.math.rutgers.edu/docs/history.html

``A History of Mathematics at Rutgers'' by Charles Weibel (originally written in 1995) Contents Prehistory at Queen's College (1766-1816) The one-man Mathematics Department (1825-1863) George William Hill The Land-grant Era (1863-1905) ... Bibliography Mathematics was present from the very beginning at Rutgers. To illustrate this point, consider the following items. The first math major (DeWitt) helped win the Revolutionary War with his surveying. The first professor at Rutgers was a mathematician (Adrain), and his salary was endowed with a 2-year lottery. The most famous mathematician ever associated with Rutgers was an undergraduate (George Hill). The Land Grant status of Rutgers was due to a mathematician (Murray) and George Cook (of Cook College). Finally, numerous buildings and roads at Rutgers bear the names of people who have taught mathematics here: Freylinghuysen, Taylor, Murray, Van Dyck, Titsworth and Morris. The history of mathematics at Rutgers is bound up with Rutgers' unique history, compared with other American universities. It has been at various times a colonial college, a small private college, a land grant school, a hodge-podge of different colleges, and finally a modern State University. The role of mathematics at Rutgers has been different in each of these eras. Many other branches of the University had their origins in the Mathematics Department or its ancestors. Until 1877, Rutgers had a string of "Professors of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy", whose interests were clearly Mathematics and not Natural Philosophy (Adrain, Strong, Murray and Rockwood). The Chemistry and Physics departments sprang up to augment this position, with the arrival of Lewis Beck (1830) and Francis Van Dyck (1866) to teach courses that had been previously taught together with mathematics. Civil and Mechanical Engineering gradually branched off of Mathematics during the era 1866-1903. The Statistics Department split off in 1952, the Computing Center (now RUCS) in 1963, and the Computer Science Department in 1966. In the 1980's both RUTCOR and DIMACS emerged as separate entitites, largely out of the Mathematics Department.

See mathematician A mathematician is a person whose area of study and research is mathematics. Roles Mathematicians not only study, but also research, and this must be given prominent mention here, because a misconception that everything in mathematics is already known is widespread among persons not learned in that field. In fact, the publication of new discoveries in mathematics continues at an immense rate in hundreds of scientific journals, many of them devoted to mathematics and many devoted to subjects to which mathematics is applied (such as theoretical computer science, physics or quantum mechanics).

History of Mathematics 3M3 (Semester 2, 2000) TABLE OF CONTENTS What the course is about. This course is about the historical background of undergraduate mathematics. Here you will learn how the concepts and methods of Calculus and Algebra you have studied for three years at University were actually invented or discovered. They were not handed down on stone tablets from some superior civilization, but were the result of years of stumbling and false starts by scientists and philosophers trying to solve very practical problems encountered in the real world: how should borders between fields be re-established after being wiped out by flooding? in what constellation do the sun and moon rise at the correct time to plant the crops? how should a dead person's estate be fairly divided among his or her children? how can you tell if the ruler's gold crown has been diluted by silver? how should you aim a cannon to make the ball fall on the enemy troops? These concepts had also to be taught to students, and it was quickly discovered that students learn best when they learn something intriguing so 'fantasy' problems, having only indirect relationships to the real world soon found their way into textbooks- a herd of goats and chickens has 140 legs and 50 heads. How many of them are chickens? what is the length of an ellipse? a spider is chasing a fly in a rectangular room. What path should she follow? Another interesting problem is the transmission of knowledge over time and space. As old civilizations waned and new ones arose, how were mathematical concepts and techniques transmitted from culture to culture?

Basically, Writing the History of Mathematics provides both an intellectual and a social history of the development of the subject from the first such effort written by the ancient Greek author Eudemus in the Fourth Century BC, to the founding of the international journal, Historia Mathematica , by Kenneth O. May in the early 1970s. A special project of the International Commission on the History of Mathematics, this work is the result of more than ten years of collaboration by a team of 32 experts, each writing about the history of mathematics in their own countries or regions, and drawing upon extensive research and archival study.
