His father, John Burton Newcomb, was a school master in Canada. John moved around teaching in different parts of the country, particularly in different villages in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, and Simon received no formal education other than from his father. Nevertheless his father provided him with an excellent foundation for his future studies. When he was sixteen years old Simon took a job with a herbalist, called Dr Foshay, in New Brunswick. They entered an agreement that Newcomb would serve a five year apprenticeship during which time Foshay would train him in using herbs to treat illnesses. For two years he was an apprentice but became increasingly unhappy about Foshay's unscientific approach, realising that the man was a charlatan. He made the decision to walk out on Foshay and break their agreement. Indeed he did literally walk out, for Newcomb walked about 120 miles to the port of Calais in Maine where he met the captain of a ship who agreed to take him to Salem in Massachusetts if he was prepared to work as a sailor on board ship. In about 1854 he joined his father in Salem (John Newcomb had moved earlier to the United States), and the two journeyed together to Maryland.

Newcomb participated in several eclipse expeditions and in 1882 went to the Cape of Good Hope to observe the transit of Venus. The record of many of his researches was published in the Astronomical Papers of the American Ephemeris, a series that he established in 1879. His investigations and computations of the orbits of six planets resulted in his tables of the planetary system, which were almost universally adopted by the observatories of the world. Newcomb urged the use of a common system of constants and fundamental stars by astronomers of all nations. A subject to which he devoted many years of study was the theory of the moon's motion. From the formulas he established it was possible to construct accurate lunar tables. His writings include a valuable early paper, On the Secular Variations and Mutual Relations of the Orbits of the Asteroids (1860) and On the Motion of Hyperion See his Reminiscences of an Astronomer (1903); study by L.

Newcomb Family History The following information is taken from a large number of sources. Detailed history on Capt. Andrew Newcomb and his wife Grace, Lt. Andrew Newcomb and his wife Sarah, Simon Newcomb and his wife Deborah, Hezekiah Newcomb and his wife Jerusha, and Silas Newcomb and his wife Submit, along with their families, is included on their individual pages: Captain Andrew Newcomb Grace Rix Newcomb Lieutenant Andrew Newcomb Sarah Newcomb ... Bibliography Newcomb Home Page Another Newcomb Home Page The name of NEWCOMB is of ancient origin. Etymologists are not agreed as to the word's ultimate derivation. Some say it comes from the Anglo-Saxon NEWE, meaning 'new', and COMB, meaning a valley, which, if correct, indicates that NEWCOMB is a place name (one derived from a place of habitation). Other writers, however, assert that the surname was originally NEWCOME or NEWCOMEN and that it meant "a stranger, a newcomer." In the United States the name is now almost invariably spelled NEWCOMB; whereas, in Canada, the more common form is NEWCOMBE. A few of the other variant spellings the name has adopted in the course of its long and honorable history are Newcom, Newcomen, Neucomen, Neucome, Newcome, Neucum, Nuecom, Nucumb, Neukomb, Newkomb, Neucombe, Neucomb, Newcum, and Newkombe. According to extant records, the earliest ancestors of the family lived in Lincolnshire, England. Here, at Saltsfletby, a Hugh Newcomen or Newcome was flourishing during the reign of Richard Coeur de Lion (1189-1199). The present Saltfletby (or Saltfleetby) branch of the family is, therefore, over seven hundred years old.

Han kikka raskt gjennom bunken med svar. Så stoppa han og kikka på ei av oppgåvene ein gong til. Her var det noko som ikkje stemde. Ein av elevane hadde brukt rekneskapen frå svogerens butikk. Men denne svogeren måtte ha triksa med tala. For rekneskapstala følgde ikkje Benfords lov. Benfords lov er ikkje ei lov som handlar om at det er ulovleg å snyte på skatten eller skrive falske rekneskapar. Benfords lov er ei matematisk lov, altså ei lov som handlar om noko som stadig tek seg opp att i matematikken. Og Benfords lov lyder omtrent slik: Når vi menneske måler eller tel noko og resultatet blir eit tal på minst fire siffer, så begynner omtrent 30 % av tala med 1. Nesten 18 % begynner med 2, og så fell prosenten gradvis, heilt ned til 4,6 % for dei tala som begynner med 9. Skitne sider Benfords lov ble oppdaget av Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) Benfords lov gjeld for så forskjellige ting som rekneskapar, innbyggjartal, cricket-resultat, gatenummer og avstandar i verdsrommet. Det veit vi fordi Frank Benford undersøkte meir enn 20 000 slike tal i 1938. Lova fekk Benfords namn, men det var ikkje han som oppdaga henne. Benfords lov vart oppdaga tilfeldig i 1881 – av den amerikanske astronomen Simon Newcomb.
