28. Astrolabe His compatriot jabir ibn aflah had also invented a universal instrument to be usedfor astronomy as well as mathematics and physics, an instrument which many http://www.kol.org/astrolabe.htm

Astrolabe Contents: What is an astrolabe? Historical Background Astrolabe Technology and Operation References What is an astrolabe? The astrolabe is an ancient compact astronomical instrument for observing and calculating positions of celestial bodies. It also served as a computer for solving problems relating to time and the position of the Sun and stars in the sky. An astrolabe con­sists of the stereographic projection of the celestial sphere on the plane of the equator taking the pole as the viewpoint. The circle of declination and the azimuthal co-ordinates appear on the plates of the astrolabe, while the asterisms are on the spider or net. Astrolabe is a multi-function instrument that can deter­mine the altitude of the stars, the sun, the moon and other planets. The astrolabe can also be used to tell time, and to measure the height of mountains and the depth of wells. Historical Background The principles of the astrolabe projection were known before 150 BC. Greeks built armillary instruments and early forms of astrolabes for astronomical measurements in 400 AD. The earliest known complete armillary sphere with nine circles is believed to have been the Mete o roskopion of the Alexandrine Greeks (140 AD), but earlier and simpler types of ring instruments were also in general use. Ptolemy, in the Almagest

29. Sir Henry Savile. Founder Of The Savilian Chair Of Geometry At Oxford University but in this case the text was to be Ptolemy s Almagest but full details of the newertheories had also to be presented such as those of jabir ibn aflah in his http://www.pinetreeweb.com/bp-father-henry-savile.htm

Sir Henry Savile Born: 30 Nov 1549 in Bradley (near Halifax), Yorkshire, England Died: 19 Feb 1622 in Eton, Berkshire, England Henry Savile entered Brasenose College Oxford in 1561 and he was elected a Fellow of Merton College Oxford in 1565. He graduated with an B.A. in 1566 and an M.A. in 1570. On 10 October 1570 he began to lecture at Oxford on Ptolemy 's Almagest and we are fortunate in that his lecture notes for this course have survived. We shall now describe the content of these lectures more fully. The lectures are far more than Ptolemy 's text with added explanation. Savile introduced his students to the new ideas of Regiomontanus and Copernicus . He mentions both classical authors of mathematics, giving their biographies, and the leading mathematicians of the day whose works he had clearly studied. In the introduction to the lectures Savile gives his views on why students should study mathematics. The study of mathematics, argues Savile, turns a student into an educated, civilised human being. As an example he quotes the classical story of Aristippus who, on being shipwrecked on Rhodes, realised that the inhabitants were civilised when he saw a mathematical figure drawn in the sand. It is worth noting, however, that twenty years later, when Savile was trying to make sure his subject received proper funding, he argued for mathematics because of its practical uses. It is interesting to read Savile's comments in these lectures on why he felt that mathematics at that time was not flourishing. Students did not understand the importance of the subject, Savile wrote, there were no teachers to explain the difficult points, the texts written by the leading mathematicians of the day were not studied, and no overall approach to the teaching of mathematics had been formulated. Of course, as we shall see below, fifty years later Savile tried to rectify these shortcomings by setting up two chairs at the University of Oxford.

Barbara Bath Named 2000 Distinguished Teacher In 1991, the MAA Board of Governors established Section Awards for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics to recognize excellence in mathematics teaching at the post-secondary level. The Rocky Mountain Section Award is named in honor of Burton W. Jones, a lifelong advocate of excellence in teaching and a strong supporter of the members and programs of the MAA. In addition to being honored with a certificate and check, award recipients are invited to deliver the opening address at the following year's spring meeting. Criteria for the DTA award require more than merely effective teaching. Awardees are expected to be outstanding teachers who are widely recognized both within and beyond their own institution for their extraordinary success in teaching. Professor Barbara Bath of the Colorado School of Mines is clearly such a teacher. Barbara's students consider her demanding, yet supportive. She is sincere with praise and constructive with criticism, and students quickly recognize her genuine compassion for them. In the last eight years, she has received teaching awards on seven separate occasions, four of which were awarded by graduating seniors at CSM. She was also instrumental in the award of the 1998 Minority Engineering Program Commitment Award to the CSM Department of Mathematics and Computer Sciences. In recent years, Barbara has played an exceedingly important role in the development of new curriculum at CSM. She has provided leadership in the design of several new courses, including a complete revamping of the calculus sequence. She also serves as a mentor in the Guy T. McBride Jr. Honors Program, a program designed to provide students an opportunity to cross the boundaries of technical expertise and gain sensitivity to the moral and social implications of their profession.

40. MEDIEVAL SCIENCES: THE ISLAMIC FOUNDATION OF THE RENAISSANCE: Medievalhistory.ne In the twelfth century, the astronomer jabir ibn aflah criticised thePtolemaic system, as did the philosophers Avempace and Ibn Tufail. http://www.medievalhistory.net/islamica.htm

The ISLAMIC FOUNDATION OF THE RENAISSANCE Hugh Bibbs, B.A. Scriptorium Series: Volume 3 First Edition Foreword The scholasticism of medieval Catholic Europe, focussed entirely as it was upon ancient authority, was unable to inform scientific inquiry until the revolutionary libraries of Islam were made available to the Catholic world. All western advances in civil engineering, mathematics, chemistry, medicine and astronomy were founded upon the medieval sciences of Islam, which were themselves built upon the classical traditions lost to the west during the Germanic destruction of the Roman Empire. This text clearly details the huge contribution of Islamic civilisation to the Later European Renaissance, and is an edited version of a paper once written for a university course. At that time, the professor examining the History of Science held that since any Islamic contribution to Western science was unknown to him it was therefore irrelevant to his subject, and he refused to read the paper. Comically, his subject dealt at length with the resistance
