For Age: 4 years and up LeapPad by LeapFrog At Amazon on 4-15-2003. More Info This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson Batteries: 4 AAbatteries required.

The village (population 387 in 1904) is on the river Ruel and the church is at Glendaruel. You can see a picture of Kilmodan Church John Maclaurin was more of a scholar than one would expect of a parish minister, for he had translated the Psalms into Gaelic. Colin, however, never knew his father, for he died when Colin was six weeks old. Colin was the youngest of three sons, the oldest being John, while the second was Daniel who died at a young age. Colin Maclaurin's mother inherited a small estate in Argyllshire and it was on the estate that Colin spent the early years of his life. His mother wanted a good education for Colin and his brother John, so the family moved to Dumbarton where the boys attended school. In 1707, when Colin was nine years old, his mother died so the task of bringing up Colin and his brother John fell to their uncle Daniel Maclaurin who was the minister at Kilfinnan on Loch Fyne. Colin became a student at the University of Glasgow in 1709 at the age of eleven years. This may seem an unbelievable age for someone to begin their university education, but it was not so amazing at this time as it would be today. Basically Scottish schools and universities competed for the best pupils at that time, rather than a university education being seen as following a school education as is the norm today.

Colin Maclaurin Colin Maclaurin's parents died when he was young, so he and his brother were brought up by an uncle who was a minister. He became a student at the University of Glasgow in 1709 at the age of 11. This may seem young for someone to begin their university education, but it was not so unusual at this time. His first encounter with advanced mathematics came one year after he entered university, when he found a copy of Euclid's Elements in one of his friend's rooms. This was the standard text for mathematical study at this time, but Maclaurin studied it on his own, quickly mastering the first 6 of the 13 books. At Glasgow Maclaurin came into contact with Simson who was the Professor of Mathematics there. Simson was particularly interested in the geometry of ancient Greece and his enthusiasm for the topic was to influence the young student Maclaurin. At the age of 14 Maclaurin was awarded a degree. He had to defend a thesis in a public examination, and he chose "On the power of gravity" as his topic. The thesis, which developed Newton's theories, was written by a 14 year old boy at a time when such advanced ideas would only be familiar to a small number of the leading mathematicians. After graduating, he remained at the University of Glasgow for a further year to study divinity. It had been his intention to enter the Presbyterian Church, but he decide against this. He was soon appointed professor of mathematics at Marischal College in the University of Aberdeen.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Euler-MacLaurin formula Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition In mathematics Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of 'figures and numbers'. In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation; other views are described in Philosophy of mathematics. Mathematics might be seen as a simple extension of spoken and written languages, with an extremely precisely defined vocabulary and grammar, for the purpose of describing and exploring physical and conceptual relationships.

Calculus focuses on rates of change (within functions), such as accelerations, curves, and slopes. The development of calculus is credited to Archimedes, Leibniz and Newton; lesser credit is given to Barrow, Descartes, de Fermat, Huygens, and Wallis. Fundamental to calculus are derivatives, integrals, and limits. One of the primary motives for the development of modern calculus was to solve the so-called "tangent line problem".

Born in Glendaruel (Argyll), where his father was a noted minister of Kilmodan Parish Church, who had translated the psalms into Gaelic. Maclaurin entered at the University of Glasgow the at the age of 11 and, at 15, he gave a remarkable public defence of his thesis on the power of gravity. In 1718, at the age of only 19, he was appointed Professor of Mathematics at the Marischal College, Aberdeen. Somewhat to the annoyance of the University authorities, Maclaurin seems to have left to undertake a 'grand tour' of Europe, as was the fashion of the time. In 1725, Maclaurin was appointed to a Chair of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, to assist the aged James Gregory - a nephew of the more famous James Gregory (1638-75). Maclaurin had been recommended by Sir Isaac Newton, who was so impressed by the young mathematician he offered to pay Maclaurin's salary. Maclaurin's is best remembered for Geometrica Organica (1720), his

Maclaurin, Colin (16981746) In 1709 Maclaurin entered the University of Glasgow where he became acquainted with Robert Simson, professor of mathematics. In 1715 Maclaurin defended the thesis On the Power of Gravity , for which he was awarded his degree. It led to his appointment, in 1717, as professor of mathematics at Marischal College in Aberdeen, although he was still only in his teens. This appointment marked the beginning of a brilliant mathematical career. His book Geometrica organica, sive descriptio linearum curvarum universalis dealt with the general properties of conics and of higher plane curves. Maclaurin was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1719. Maclaurin’s Treatise of Fluxions (1742) has been described as the earliest logical and systematic publication of Newton's methods. It stood as the model of rigor until the appearance of Cauchy’s Cours d’analyse in 1821. Maclaurin was a zealous disciple of Newton, and in his work he tried to provide a geometrical framework for the doctrine of fluxions Maclaurin hoped to refute Newton's critics, the most vociferous of whom was
