p p. 177-185 Work for the Hairdressers: The Production of de Prony's Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables I. Grattan-Guinness A summary account is given of the large set of logarithmic and trigonometric tables produced at the end of the 18th century under the direction of Gaspard Riche de Prony. Although they were completed in 1801, their size made publication a costly task; and it was never done, despite the fact that printing was started more than once and various efforts were made over the years to find finance. Eventually a reduced edition of some tables appeared in 1891. In addition to the history some details are given of the mathematical methods used in the compilation of the tables. An appendix considers the possible influence of this project upon Babbage's ideas on computers and tables.

Föregångarna Pionjärerna Utvecklingen
Om författarna Datorn är det mångsidigaste redskap som någonsin skapats. Medan de flesta andra verktyg och maskiner i första hand syftat till att öka människans fysiska förmåga är datorn främst ett tankens redskap. En konsekvens av detta är att datorn är en mycket flexibel och allsidig maskin som kan komma till nytta i nästan all mänsklig verksamhet. Datorn är unik i sin mångsidighet, däremot inte som ett tankens redskap. Enklare sådana, främst räknehjälpmedel av olika slag, har människan utnyttjat sedan urminnes tider. Kulramen tillhör vår forntid (och barndom), men abakus (en slags kulram) är fortfarande i bruk i vissa delar av världen (Ryssland och Orienten). Ett annat fd räknehjälpmedel är räknestickan, som uppfanns 1617 av John Napier, och som användes allmänt i skolan samt av tekniker, ingenjörer od ända fram till mitten av 1970-talet. Datorns förhistoria och tidigaste historia är till stor del historien om att erhålla tillförlitligare, snabbare och mångsidigare hjälpmedel för att utföra beräkningar. Utvecklingen kan sägas starta med de mekaniska räknemaskinerna på 1600-talets mitt. Föga förvånande spelade dåtidens matematiker en viktig roll i denna utveckling.

Biographies of Mathematicians -
Sophie Germain
Introduction
Sophie Germain grew up with the revolutions. Not only the American and French Revolutions, but with the revolution in herself. She wanted to be seen as a great mathematician. It took a lot of hard work and going against her family, but she never gave up. She is recognized today for her great work, but credit for number theory, acoustics, and elasticity was never given in her lifetime because of one reason. She was a woman. Germain did great contributations to the Number Theory, acoustics and elasticity.
Biography
Sophie was not really interested in the study of mathematics until the age of 13 when the French Revolution started. She was confined to her home and spent all her time in her father's libraries. There she learned about the death of Archimedes. Legend was that Archimedes was so engrosed in studing mathematics that he didn't respond to a Roman soldier and was killed. This made Sophia interested, if a guy would die for mathematics than there must be much to learn and study. Thus began her road down the study of mathematics. It was the death of Archimedes that made her want to become a mathematician.

The Human Computer and the Birth of the Information Age
By David Alan Grier
Director, University Honors Program,
Associate Professor, Computer Science,
The George Washington University
[This text was prepared from the published version of the talk that appeared as Human Computers: the first pioneers of the information age Before computers were machines, they were people. They were men and women, young and old, well educated and common. They were the workers who convinced scientists that large-scale calculation had value. Long before Presper Eckert and John Mauchly built the ENIAC at the Moore School of Electronics or Maurice Wilkes designed the EDSAC for Manchester University, human computers had created the discipline of computation. They developed numerical methodologies and proved them on practical problems. These human computers were not savants, or calculating geniuses. Some knew little more than basic arithmetic. A few were near equals of the scientists they served and in a different time or place, they might have become practicing scientists had they not been barred from a scientific career by their class, their education, their gender or their ethnicity.
Dividing the Labor: Computing the Return of Halley’s Comet
The Computing Factories of the Nineteenth Century
Professionalizing Human Computation
Comrie was the tireless advocate for employing computing machinery. He had learned about machine computation from Karl Pearson while recuperating from war wounds. Once he had recovered, he enrolled in the graduate astronomy program at Cambridge University where he soon became an active critic of older computing methods used by such groups as the Greenwich Observatory. After completing his studies, he was appointed deputy superintendent of the British Nautical Almanac Office, where adapted commercial accounting machines to prepare almanac computations. He left the Almanac office in 1936 and formed an independent computing lab, the Scientific Computing Service.

Posted on Wed Apr 9th, 2003 at 03:23:03 AM MST live in washington state, in the process of buying
a parcel of land in kansas in a catagory 5 wind area, property has an excellent ridge with predominant south wind in summer and north in winter.. will build an off grid small home/shop/greenhouse to live the rest of my life in... at least now i have time to apply what i have learned and design a structure that works with nature instead of against it, cool concept huh, wish i would have done it years ago.. will incorporate wind power, diesel generation, hydro on a limited scale, and will use the utility company as a back up scheme only.. i figure it is easier to conserve or limit my needs for power than it is to either generate or purchase my power, so to those ends the design will incorporate everything i can to limit my needs, but still have most of what modern living dictates. bob g comments (9 topical, editorial) Glad you're back!
