Using this proof, you can double any number without changing its value!
Proof that log 2 = *
* note: "log", used here, means natural log, which is sometimes written "ln". This proof is extremely important, because it can be used to show that 2=1. It works this way: log 2 = 0, from the proof, above. log 1 = 0, because e log 2 = log 1, because both logs are equal to e log 2 = e log 1 , taking the exponent of both sides 2 = 1, because e log a = a

I got an email questioning the statement that log 2 = 1-1/2+1/3-1/4+..., so I found these references to support this fact, which, by the way, has nothing to do with the error in the proof, above. http://numbers.computation.free.fr/Constants/Log2/log2Formulas.html attributes log(2)=1-1/2+1/3-1/4 to Nicolaus Mercator and gives dozens of other formulas for log(2). http://www.mathematik.uni-bielefeld.de/~sillke/PUZZLES/harmonic-series gives a sketch of the proof that this series is the integral of dy/y from 1 to 2, which is log(2).

Subject: [HM] Mercator vs Mersenne Author: Joel.Norman.9657@student.uu.se Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 18:37:53 +0200 (CEST) Dear members of the mailinglist, I am currently studying the last part Nicolaus Mercator's "Logarithmotechnia" (1668), in which he finds the series expansion of ln(x) (or the equivalent Taylor series of ln(1+x) near x=0). However, it's the last proposition in Logarithmotechnia that catches my interest just now. There he goes one step further and start to sum logarithms instead (in modern words, he integrates ln (x) from 1 to t; he gives a numerical example with t=0.1). In the end remarks he states that this is related to a problem by Mersenne. Does anyone have information on this, and maybe even what problem Mercator is referring to?

Calculus
Calculus is een tak van de wiskunde, ontwikkeld uit de rekenkunde en de meetkunde . Calculus is het vakgebied dat zich bezig houdt met mate van verandering binnen functies , zoals versnellingen curves en hellingen . De ontwikkeling van de calculus wordt aan Leibniz en Newton toegeschreven. Ook Barrow, Descartes, de Fermat en Huygens hebben eraan gewerkt. Het middelpunt van de calculus vormen de afgeleiden, integralen en limieten. Een van de belangrijkste redenen om calculus te ontwikkelen was om het raaklijnprobleem op te lossen.

Prehistorie van de Calculus
De echte ontdekking van de integraal - en differentiaalrekening is gedaan door Newton en Leibniz. Voorgangers van hen hebben zeker tot die ontdekking bijgedragen, daarom eerst in het kort iets over wat er al bekend was over calculus vóór Newton en Leibniz, om te beginnen rond het jaar 1600. René Descartes (1596-1650) en Pierre de Fermat (1601-1665) zijn twee Fransen die een enorme bijdrage hebben geleverd aan het ontstaan van de calculus. Ze hebben namelijk, onafhankelijk en ongeveer gelijktijdig, de analytische

Bernard Wapowski and Waclaw Grodecki.
Origins of Polish cartography.
It seems that Wapowski's map was well known to the elite of European cartographers of that time and it was used as a source of information about the south-eastern and north-estern parts of the Continent, including the area of Poland and Hungary. These followers include Gerard Mercator, Henry Zell, Caspar Vopelius, Jacob Gaspaldi and Olaf Magnus, who authored an interesting map of Scandinavia. It is also highly probable that the map Polonia et Ungaria, included by Sebastian Muenster into his Base l edi-tion of Ptolemy's Geographia and Muenster's own work Cosmographia, was a reduced and simplified version of the "Southern" map by Wapowski. Afterwards, it's various versions were copied into many works. Giacomo Gastaldi, one of the leading Italian cartographers, placed his version of that map, very carefially woodcut, although small in size, in his edition of Geographia of 1546. The "Northern" map was probably used by Mercator for his version of the map of Lithuania and was published in various editions of his Atlas in the years 1595 - 1630. The twin-chart map by Wapowski is surprisingly precise while specifying the coor-dinates for the mouths of the Dnieper and the Dniester, as it corrects the error by Ptole-my. Ptolemy's map moves the Black Sea by 4 degrees westwards and extends it unnaturally, which makes the whole continent rather oblong. Regrettably, the next generations of cartographers did not follow Wapowski, modelling their works after Mercator, who for unknown reasons continued to place the mouths of the Dnieper and Dniester respectably by 3 and 1/2 degree and 2 and 1/2 degree farther eastwards, even after Wapowski's map was published. Wapowski's map, however, failed to show an accurate reflection ofthe regions of Polesie, Wolyn' and Grodno, where the author placed large, non-existent bogs of Amadotia, Sarmatia and the Cronos Lake. and also many rivers flowing therefrom. It seems that Wapowski did not support the theory that rivers have to spring from mountain tops.

10-1: Analytic Geometry
  • The two most influential mathematicians that contributed to the shaping of Analytic Geometry are Rene Descartes and Pierre de Fermat. Analytic Geometry:
      Book definition: method of geometry, "as applied to the plan, it is the establishment of correspondence between points in the plane and ordered pairs of real numbers, thereby making possible a correspondence between curves in the plane and equations in two variables, so that for each curve in the plane there is a definite equation f(x,y) = 0, and for each such equation there is a definite curve, or set of points, in the plane" (346). Analytic Geometry The study of the geometry of figures by algebraic representation and manipulation of equations describing their positions, configurations, and separations. Analytic geometry is also called coordinate geometry since the objects are described as n-tuples of points (where n = 2...
