Florian Cajori Cajori emigrated to the United States in 1875 when he was sixteen years old. He entered the State Normal School in Whitewater, Wisconsin in 1876 and graduated two years later. Cajori did not enter university immediately after graduating, but he taught in a country school before beginning his studies of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin. After being awarded a B.S. from Wisconsin in 1883, he entered Johns Hopkins University in January 1884. Having studied for about eighteen months at Johns Hopkins, Cajori left in June 1885 and was awarded his Master's degree by the University of Wisconsin the following year. After leaving Johns Hopkins University, Cajori was appointed as assistant professor at Tulane University in New Orleans in 1885 even before receiving his Master's degree. He became professor of applied mathematics at Tulane in 1887. He held the chair of physics at Colorado College in Colorado Springs from 1889 to 1898 and during this time, in 1890, he married Elizabeth G Edwards; they had one son. Also during this time, in 1894, he was awarded his doctorate from Tulane University. Cajori held the chair of mathematics at Colorado College from 1898 until 1918, being Dean of the Department of Engineering for the last fifteen years of his time at Colorado Springs. He was appointed to a specially created chair in the history of mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley in 1918. This was the first chair in the history of mathematics to be founded in the United States and it says much of Cajori's high reputation that a special chair was created at this leading university.

After examining the writings of Archimedes one can well understand how, in ancient times, an "Archimedean problem" came to mean a problem too deep for ordinary minds to solve, and how an "Archimedean proof" came to be the synonym for unquestionable certainty.

Florian Cajori (1859-1930) was born in Switzerland, son of a leading civil engineer, and came to the United States in 1875, when he was sixteen. He studied at the University of Wisconsin as an undergraduate, and did graduate work there and at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, before joining the faculty of Tulane University. He had to leave New Orleans within a couple of years on developing tuberculosis, and came to Colorado Springs for his health, where he was invited by President Slocum to join the faculty of Colorado College first as a part-time instructor (at $30 per month) and within a year as professor of physics (at $1500 per year). As professor of physics from 1889-1898, Cajori ardently promoted scientific studies at the college, not least through his founding of the Colorado College Scientific Society in 1890, and is celebrated particularly for taking, with his physics class, the first X-ray photographs in the West. In 1898, he became professor of mathematics, and five years later, became also the founding Dean of the School of Engineering.

In Search Of Principia
I have been enjoying participating in the Distributed Proofreaders project (in which many volunteers share the task of proofreading an e-book before it goes to Project Gutenberg ). In a recent conversation on one of the DP forums, someone remarked that there are no books in PG by Sir Isaac Newton. Being interested in satellites, and knowing what a revered work Newton's Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica (the " Principia ") is, I decided to look further into this work, to evaluate what needs to be done to turn it into a PG e-book. The first task is acquiring the text. Very quickly I discovered that there have been many published versions of Principia
Known Printings of Principia
Public Domain Printings
  • Original: Latin, 3 editions by Isaac Newton, 1687 Translation: English, by Motte, 1729: Nearly every English edition is based on this. This translation apparently was based on Newton's 2nd edition (there were 3). Chittenden, N. W., " Newton's Principia: The mathematical principles of natural philosophy "; 1846; New York (Daniel Adee); 581 p.: Billed as "1st American, carefully rev. and cor., edition". Library of Congress No. QA803 .A45 1848. Chittenden also includes "Newton's System of the World" at the end, plus a portrait and extensive biography of Newton. (In comparing this book to the Cajori 1934 work, you can see that Cajori turned the prose into formulas, which makes Cajori more accessible.)

Cajori, Florian
Swiss-born US historian of mathematics. His books dealt with the history of both elementary and advanced mathematics, as well as the teaching of mathematics. His two-volume History of Mathematical Notations 1928-29 is a standard reference text. He also wrote biographies of eminent mathematicians.
Cajori's influence on the modern perception of the development of mathematics was profound, and his works are frequently quoted to this day. His reputation is founded mainly on his many books on the history of mathematics, although a number of his works - notably his edited version of Isaac Newton 's Principia (published posthumously) - have been subject to some criticism for their interpretation of historical material. He also compiled A History of Physics 1899.

Overcoming Greatness. The Decline and Recovery of British Mathematics
in the Post-Newton Era.
by Robert Bruen Harvard University January 1995 Introduction "The eighteenth century may be considered a time of consolidation and systematisation of the exciting mathematical discoveries of the seventeenth, rather than a period of progress."[1] In the late 1600s, Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) finalized the work that had been started before him, providing rigor to the mathematics that became known as the calculus. About the same time, Gottfried von Leibniz (1646-1716) did about the same thing. Newton was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge at the time. Leibniz was a mathematician and philosopher of great ability who worked as a librarian from 1676 to his death. Most of his mathematical work was published between 1682 and 1692.[2] He claimed to have invented differential and integral calculus in 1674, which he did not publish until 1684. Newton claimed to have invented fluxions (infinitesimal calculus) about 1666. with some manuscripts read by friends in 1669. He finally published his methods in 1693.[3] The controversy that ensued has been made famous by the two intellectual giants struggling for supremacy in the arena of first rights. Newton emerged the winner and is now known as the inventor of calculus. During the development of calculus, each created a form of notation to express the differential terms. Newton chose a form that used dots and Leibniz selected one that used letters
