search: From SIAM News, Volume 35, Number 10, December 2002 Anecdotes About Anecdotes Book Review Philip J. Davis Mathematical Apocrypha Steven G. Krantz Mathematical Association of America, Washington, DC, 2002, 214 pages (with an outstanding collection of photos, including one of Sonya Kowa-levskaya dressed for a party in a cat costume) "I love anecdotes . . . [but] if a man is to wait till he weaves anecdotes into a system, we may be long in getting them, and get but few, in comparison of what we might get." -Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's A Tour of the Hebrides Dr. Johnson loved anecdotes. Steven Krantz, a professor of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, loves anecdotes. Everyone loves anecdotes. Anecdotes are multi-purpose. They can serve as an antidote for a dull rainy afternoon when theorematic inspiration seems remote, or for a dull stuffy evening when the TV is saturated with stupid reruns. Anecdotes can spice up a classroom lecture or a dreary sermon. They can be garnered at International Congresses or used there for purposes of name-dropping. They can be picked up in otherwise mind-numbing biographies of mathematicians. They can, in the words of Constance Reid, in her preface to the book under review, "encapsulate a mathematician's character or personality with all the economy of a formula." At the same time, they can serve to encapsulate character falsely; such was the case with George Washington and the cherry tree. They can reduce a character to dust and ashes. I suppose the three most famous anecdotes about mathematicians would include the story of how Pythagoras (c. 550 BC) sacrificed an ox after he discovered that the square root of 2 is irrational. A second would be Archimedes yelling "Eureka" in the public bath. And a third would be Newton and his apple.

John Aubrey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. John Aubrey March 12 June ) was an English antiquary and writer, best known as the author of a work usually referred to as Brief Lives He was born at Maston Pierse or Percy, near Malmesbury, Wiltshire , of a wealthy and famous family of the border region. He was educated at the Malmesbury grammar school under Robert Latimer, who had numbered Thomas Hobbes among his earlier pupils, and at Latimer's house Aubrey first met the philosopher about whom he was later to write. He entered Trinity College, Oxford , in 1642, but his studies were interrupted by the English Civil War . In 1646 he became a student of the Middle Temple , but was never called to the bar. He spent much of his time in the country, and in 1649 he drew attention to the megalithic remains at Avebury . His father died in 1652, leaving Aubrey large estates, but with them some complicated debts. Aubrey nevertheless used his wealth to satisfy his passion for the company of celebrities and for any interesting details he could learn about them. Anthony Wood predicted that he would one day break his neck while running downstairs after a retreating guest, in the hope of finding out more about him. He played no active part in politics, but from his description of a meeting of the Rotary Club, founded by

druidic.org John Aubrey To give you a bit of background on the late Mr Aubrey here are the opening paragraphs from Oliver Lawson Dick's biography: Not long after John Aubrey's death, a wise man warned against treating books like members of the nobility: that is, against learning their titles and bragging afterwards of acquaintance with them. Yet this has been peculiarly Aubrey's fate; for his reputation is founded almost entirely upon hearsay and the piecemeal quotation of his work by other writers. The reason for the extraordinary neglect of this man of genius is not hard to find, and the fault, it must be admitted, is entirely his own. For Aubrey's love of life was so intense, his curiosity so promiscuous and so insatiable, that he proved quite incapable of completing any work he undertook. Each one was started in a most businesslike and practical fashion, but before long the original plan was always buried beneath the flood of digressions and notes, of horoscopes, letters, and stories, which his restless mind seemed powerless to control. Having decided to write a life, Aubrey selected a page in one of his notebooks and jotted down as quickly as possible everything that he could remember about the character concemed: his friends, his appearance; his actions, his books, and his sayings. Any facts or dates that did not occur to him on the spur of the moment were left blank, and as Aubrey was so extremely sociable that he was usually suffering from a hangover when he came to put pen to paper, the number of these omissions was often very large. In the first flush of composition, too, his mind raced so far beyond his pen that he frequently resorted to a sort of involved shorthand and made use of signs instead of words.

John Aubrey Antiquary and author of Brief Lives , Aubrey had many friends including Ashmole, Lilly, Gadbury and Coley. His collection of informal biographies have been used many times, but what is often not realised is that he collected birth data to go alongside them. Unfortunately, none of those who have edited and published his work have presented that information. The edition by Richard Barber for the Folio Society reproduces the opening page of Aubrey's account of his own life which contains his nativity. The data are 11 March 1625/6 OS, 5.14.44 am, latitude 51°30N (Malmesbury, Wiltshire). Harvey quotes Coley as having used this time, but seems unaware of Aubrey's own representation of his nativity (above). The following is a reproduction of the chart in modern form, although the above chart is incomplete having no house cusp positions other than the Ascendant and 3rd house, and Moon, Jupiter and Saturn have also been omitted. The recalculated positions (planets are marked "comp.") have been inserted and rounded to reflect these omissions. var sc_project=218721; var sc_invisible=1;

Merry we meet. Merry we meet. Merry we meet. Merry we meet. Controverscial.Com Welcome Stonehenge A Mystical Temple? Written and compiled by George Knowles. Me at Stonehenge with a girlfriend (circa - 1975) Stonehenge is one of the most famous megalithic monuments in the world and may once have been an observatory for predicting important astronomical events. But what is not clear is who built it, when, why and how? What was the extent of the architect's knowledge and was it designed as a center for religious ritual? These are just some of the questions raised about Stonehenge and here I shall attempt to find some answers. Stonehenge is a strange and powerful magnet, attracting people of all kinds, from all across the world to view and sense the mystical and magical aura of its huge and ancient stones. Many people of all faiths and religious denomination now make it an annual pilgrimage, particularly during the summer solstice. Yet the original purpose of Stonehenge is still an enigma, one that even the best brains in the world have failed to unravel. Lord Byron in his poem 'Don Juan' echoed one of the questions many have sought to answer: “The Druid's groves are gone - so much the better.
