21. Seeing Further, The Legacy Of Robert Hooke Biography from the Griffith Observer June 1996. http://starryskies.com/~kmiles/spec/hooks.html

Seeing Further, The Legacy of Robert Hooke "He was of an active, restless, indefatigable Genius even almost to the last, and always slept little to his death, seldom going to sleep till two three, or four a Clock in the Morning, and seldomer to Bed, often continuing his Studies all Night, and taking a nap in the day. His temper was Melancholy...." Robert Hooke was a significant influence in the advancement of science as well as Newton. An established physicist and astronomer, Hooke was with the Royal Society from its inception, and served it tirelessly and loyally for over forty years; it was he who had worded the society's credo "To improve the knowledge of natural things, and all useful Arts, Manufactures, Mechanic practices, Engines and Inventions by Experiments (not meddling with divinity, Metaphysics, Morals, Politics, Grammar, Rhetoric or Logic)." But the rancor between Newton and Hooke did much to tarnish Hooke's reputation. Hooke was born on the Isle of Wight, July 18, 1635. As a child he survived smallpox, but was scarred physically and emotionally for life. When Hooke was thirteen years old, his father, John Hooke, a clergyman hanged himself. Young Robert had much emotional pain in his youth. Receiving a 100 pound inheritance from his father, Robert Hooke became an orphan of sorts, being sent off to London. In London was the painter Sir Peter Lely, and there, Hooke was to develop his artistic skills.

Although formally a curate, since the minister was also Dean of Gloucester Cathedral and of Wells, John Hooke was left in charge of All Saints. It was a well off church being in the patronage of St John's College, Cambridge. As well as his duties in the church, John Hooke also ran a small school attached to the church and acted as a private tutor. Robert had a brother named John, the same as his father, who was five years older. Relatively few details of Robert's childhood are known. What we record here is information which he mentioned to his friends later in his life. Robert, like many children of his day, had poor health and was not expected to reach adulthood. His father was from a family in which it was expected that all the boys joined the Church (John Hooke's three brothers were all ministers) so had Robert enjoyed good health as a child there is no doubt that he would have followed the family tradition. As it was Robert's parents did begin to set up his education with this in mind but he continually suffered from headaches which made studying hard. Lacking confidence that he would reach adulthood, Robert's parents gave up on his education, leaving him much to his own devices.

Father Occupation: Cleric John Hooke was a minister, curate of Freshwater; he died in 1648. No fully clear information on financial status. I am tempted to guess. Curates were notoriously underpaid, and Hooke was apparently left without much when his father died. However, a dead father is a different affair from a living one, and I see enough uncertainty that I will mark financial status as unknown. 3. Nationality Birth: English Career: English Death: English 4. Education Schooling: Oxford Westminster School, 1648. Oxford University, Christ Church, 1658. He was initially a chorister and then a servitor. Hooke did not take a B.A. He was nominated for the M.A. by Lord Clarendon, the Chancellor of the university, 1663; I am not going to list it.

Hooke, Robert English scientist and inventor, originator of Hooke's law, and considered the foremost mechanic of his time. His inventions included a telegraph system, the spirit level, marine barometer, and sea gauge. He coined the term 'cell' in biology. He studied elasticity, furthered the sciences of mechanics and microscopy, invented the hairspring regulator in timepieces, perfected the air pump, and helped improve such scientific instruments as microscopes, telescopes, and barometers. His work on gravitation and in optics contributed to the achievements of his contemporary Isaac Newton. Hooke was born in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight and educated at Oxford, where he became assistant to Irish physicist Robert Boyle. Moving to London 1663, he became curator of the newly established Royal Society, which entailed demonstrating new experiments at weekly meetings. He was also professor of geometry at Gresham College, London, from 1665. In geology, Hooke insisted, against the prevailing, Bible-bound view, that fossils are the remains of plants and animals that existed long ago.

Biografías Hooke, Robert Ilustración pendiente ísico y matemático inglés (1635-1703), también astrónomo y filósofo; nacido en la isla de Wight. Se le debe el enunciado de una ley (ley de Hooke) según la cual la deformación de un material elástico es proporcional a la fuerza deformante. Llevó a cabo una intensa actividad de investigación y de divulgación científica. Descubrió la quinta estrella de la constelación de Orión (1664) y sugirió por primera vez la rotación de Júpiter sobre su eje; descubrió que podía medirse la fuerza gravitatoria con un péndulo. Trató de demostrar el movimiento elíptico de la Tierra alrededor del Sol. Expuso los fundamentos de la teoría ondulatoria de la luz y describió la naturaleza molecular del aire. Estudió en la Universidad de Oxford. Fue ayudante del físico británico Robert Boyle, a quien ayudó en la construcción de la bomba de aire. En 1662 fue nombrado director de experimentación en la Sociedad Real de Londres, cargo que desempeñó hasta su muerte. Fue elegido miembro de la Sociedad Real en 1663 y recibió la cátedra Gresham de geometría en la Universidad de Oxford en 1665. Después del gran incendio de Londres en 1666, fue designado supervisor de esta ciudad, y diseñó varios edificios, como la casa Montague y el hospital Bethlehem. Hooke realizó algunos de los descubrimientos e invenciones más importantes de su tiempo, aunque en muchos casos no consiguió terminarlos. Formuló la teoría del movimiento planetario como un problema de mecánica, y comprendió, pero no desarrolló matemáticamente, la teoría fundamental con la que Isaac Newton formuló la ley de la gravitación. Fue el primero en utilizar el resorte espiral para la regulación de los relojes y desarrolló mejoras en los relojes de péndulo. Hooke también fue pionero en realizar investigaciones microscópicas y publicó sus observaciones, entre las que se encuentra el descubrimiento de las células vegetales.

Some Contemporaries of Descartes, Fermat, Pascal and Huygens From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Bachet Mersenne Roberval Van Schooten ... Rolle Bachet was born at Bourg in 1581, and died in 1638. He wrote the , of which the first edition was issued in 1612, a second and enlarged edition was brought out in 1624; this contains an interesting collection of arithmetical tricks and questions, many of which are quoted in my Mathematical Recreations and Essays . He also wrote , which exists in manuscript; and a translation of the Arithmetic of Diophantus. Bachet was the earliest writer who discussed the solution of indeterminate equations by means of continued fractions. Mersenne Marin Mersenne , born in 1588 and died at Paris in 1648, was a Franciscan friar, who made it his business to be acquainted and correspond with the French mathematicians of that date and many of their foreign contemporaries. In 1634 he published a translation of Galileo's mechanics; in 1644 he issued his Cogita Physico-Mathematica , by which he is best known, containing an account of some experiments in physics; he also wrote a synopsis of mathematics, which was printed in 1664.

The Father of Modern Science and an 'unsung' hero... Robert Hooke "In tribute to his genius and dedication to experimental science and creative thought... and his pioneering contributions to Microscopy!" by Maurice Smith - March 13th 2000 Robert Hooke Facts Page of 6 Associated Web Links Books CDs Museum The Inspirational Father of Modern Science in England? If ever a man lived who gave more to modern science yet - possibly through the action and ill-will of at least one of his contemporaries - has remained largely unacknowledged, it must be Robert Hooke: inventor, microscopist, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist... An unattractive man, disfigured, orphaned at 13 years of age, robbed of credit for his greatest inspirations and ideas, with many of his creations almost certainly willfully destroyed or lost after his death in 1703; only now after 300 years, is his life and extraordinary achievements beginning to receive the just recognition they so truly deserve. Most people have never heard of Robert Hooke. Those that have, probably still do not realize the magnitude of his contribution to modern science. From the publication of his Micrographia (the world's first comprehensive illustrated book on microscopy), to his work on clocks, springs, gases, his inventions, his ideas on fossils, weather, gravity, and light, through to his rebuilding of London with Christoper Wren, this extraordinary man helped to shape our world today.
