MIA Encyclopedia of Marxism : Glossary of People Le Legien, Carl (1861-1920) German labor leader. Chairman of the German Federation of Trade Unions and editor of their journal. Leibnitz, Gottfried Wilhelm (1646-1716) German mathematician (co-inventor of Calculus, modern mathematical logic), physicist (law of conservaion of energy), geologist, etc., etc. Initially a mechanical materialist in philosophy, but in opposition to Locke's empiricism, moved to a position of rationalism and objective idealism with his theory of Monads - the indivisible, spiritual substances of which the Universe is composed; the monads were endowed with self-activity, but had no physical influence on one another; held that the criterion of truth is clarity of knowledge, tested by the application of Aristotle's Formal Logic. See Hegel's analysis and on Law of Sufficient Ground Leibniz is most renowned as co-founder of the calculus with Newton (Newton and Leibniz each invented different systems of notations for calculus independently; there was an intensely competitive relation between the two men who would set each other mathematical puzzles to see whose calculus was superior, and Newton faked the date of publication of the second edition of the Principia to claim priority) and founder of mathematical and symbolic logic. Leibniz also did important work in mechanics, geology, biology, history, linguistics and engineering. He was prominent in the public affairs of his day, putting a scheme for the unification of the German states, which had been the legacy of the Thirty Years War, to the Imperial Diet, argued for the reunification of the Protestant and Catholic Churches, founded the Academy of Sciences under Frederick I of Prussia, and participated in every sphere of science, art and public life in the Europe of the Habsburgs and Louis XIV.

E-MAIL ADDRESS: mhaines@njcu.edu OFFICE: Grossnickle 270 TEXT: Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics; Dunham, W., Penguin Books, 1991. COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an introduction to the development of major mathematical ideas and concepts over the centuries. It is a historical narrative. Students will concentrate on related problems and their applications, providing them with valuable information in business, science, education, and research. A knowledge of the rudiments of mathematics through calculus would be desirable for the course. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Mathematics is one of the great creations of the human mind. As such, it is an essential part of a liberal arts education. Studying mathematics is probing into the greatness of the human intellect and creativity. The study of the history of mathematics involves learning about the formation of mathematical concepts over the years and also learning about great mathematicians and the societies in which they lived. COURSE OBJECTIVES/LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students successfully completing this course will: learn a survey of the history of mathematics improve theri understanding of how various areas of mathematics relate to each other and their origins

A Tour of the USMA Library For anyone studying the history of mathematics, it is crucial that you learn to use the resources in the library. This web page indicates the types of things that we will look at during our library tour. This page has been posted to assist anyone whose memory is faulty. We begin at the Mathematics Department Library. When we enter we immediately notice the display about BG (Ret) Jack Polin who served as Head of the department from 1974 to 1985. For our use, undoubtedly the most important work in this library is the Biographical dictionary of mathematicians : reference biographies from the Dictionary of scientific biography. Nota Bene: If you click on the call numbers in this document and then click on it again on the page which appears, you will get the full reference in the USMA library catalog. This is useful because it contains biographical information about deceased mathematicians and also describes their work. This work in four volumes is a subset (only the mathematicians are chosen) of a work in the reference section of the main library: Dictionary of scientific biography Charles Coulston Gillispie, editor in chief.

Women and Minorities in Mathematics Incorporating Their Mathematical Achievements Into School Classrooms Hypatia, the First Known Woman Mathematician Sarah J. Greenwald, Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina and Edith Prentice Mendez, Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California Hypatia is the first woman mathematician about whom we have either biographical knowledge or knowledge of her mathematics. Hypatia developed commentaries on older works, probably including those by Ptolemy, Diophantus, and Apollonius, in order to make them easier to understand. Hypatia was probably the first woman to have a profound impact on the survival of early thought in mathematics. We will examine what we do and do not know about her life, the mathematics that she might have worked on, and ways to incorporate these ideas into the mathematics classroom. This example of mistaking fiction for fact and the spread of poor scholarship can be a great starting point for a discussion on the importance of using numerous reputable references, trying to get as close to original sources as possible, and the fact that books as well as web pages are not necessarily correct. Students will be interested in the idea that a fictional account in one book can propagate as truth, spreading to many sources. Figure 1 . Fictionalized Sketch of Hypatia (Hubbard, 1908).

The History of Algebra an Secondary WebQuest for grades 8-10 Algebra I students by DiAnn Sones piperdcs@hotmail.com Introduction Task Resources ... Evaluation Introduction Algebra, what does it mean? Where did it come from? Who thought up this stuff? Have you ever wondered what the word algebra means or when and where algebra was developed or who developed algebraic concepts? In this web-quest your group will go on a journey through time and the history of mathematics to discover the answers to these questions. Return to Top Task Each group will go on a web-quest to find the mathematicians historians have named as being the fathers or founders of algebra. On this journey your group will collect information about the mathematician responsible for developing the algebraic concept assigned to your group, create a time line to show when the concept was developed in relation to other significant events in history, and find examples of the algebraic concept. Each group will prepare a written or electronic report to present the information to the class. Group Assignment (topic) Group I The Father of Algebra (Algebraic thought and equations) Group II Founder of Cartesian Plane and Graphing Equations Group III Developer of Polynomials Group IV Set Notation and Venn Diagrams Designer Each group will need a Surfer Writer/Recorder Mathematician , and a Reporter.
