[HM] Availability of the Crest of the Peacock George Gheverghese Joseph msrbsgj@fs1.ec.man.ac.uk Fri, 30 Jul 1999 12:02:54 BST Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Next message: Julio Gonzalez Cabillon: "Re: [HM] History in Mathematics" Previous message: Ivo Schneider: "Re: [HM] mathematicians and aging" Dear Julio, I have had a number of postings from members of your math-list enquiring about the availability of the Crest of the Peacock. A number have told me that they have been informed that the book is out of print. I have just received the following message from Penguin. "The Crest is still in print we have 656 copies currently in stock, which at the current rate of sale will last until the new edition is published next June (although one wonders what the current rate of sale might have been had your contacts not been told that the book is out of print). I've just spoken to our Customer Services department, and they can't understand why people have been told that the book is out of print; it is quite clear that we still have stock. I should tell people to be sure to quote the ISBN (0140125299) when they place orders."

George And Mildred UK, ITV (Thames), Sitcom, colour, 1976 Starring: Brian Murphy, Yootha Joyce, Norman Eshley Having just finished six series of Man About The House , the ultra-prolific Mortimer and Cooke created and wrote two concurrent spin-offs: Robin's Nest (six more series) and George And Mildred (five). The latter was the more acclaimed of the two, featuring the former landlord and landlady from Man About The House now moved upmarket into a new home at 46 Peacock Crescent, Hampton Wick, suburbia. For Mildred it is her long-awaited climb up the class structure - she calls it a 'town house'. For George - lazy, mostly unemployed (he does work for a short while as a traffic warden) and aggressively determined to preserve his working-classness - it is a terraced house. Much fine comedy ensued, and the working chemistry between Brian Murphy and Yootha Joyce, two experienced stage actors, was a winning one. The humour ran along three main lines: the couple's hopeless 25-year marriage in general, Mildred's sexual frustrations in particular - George has given up on sex completely and contrives any excuse to avoid it - and the class struggle. This last problem is exacerbated by the posh family next door, the Fourmiles - wife, husband and brat child - who are befriended by Mildred but loathed by George. (Jeffrey Fourmile was played by actor Norman Eshley who, only four months before

Assuntos matemáticos envolvidos Álgebra: álgebra simbólica; álgebra abstrata Análise: cálculo diferencial e integral (origem foto) George Peacock nasceu em 9 de abril de 1791 em Denton na Inglaterra. Foi educado em casa pelo seu próprio pai até os 17 anos, quando passou a freqüentar uma escola em Richmond a fim de se preparar para ingressar em Cambridge. Em 1809 Peacock começou a estudar no Trinity College em Cambridge. Como estudante universitário se tornou amigo de John Herschel e Charles Babbage . Em 1812 Peacock se formou e ganhou o segundo prêmio Smith. Em 1815 se tornou tutor e conferencista no Trinity College. Os amigos Peacock, Herschel e Babbage formaram, em 1815, a Analytical Society que tinha como objetivo reformar o ensino e a notação de cálculo trazendo os métodos continentais avançados de cálculo para Cambridge. Em 1816 a Analytical Society traduziu um livro de Lacroix sobre cálculo diferencial e integral e, em 1817, quando Peacock foi nomeado examinador dos tripos matemáticos, a notação diferencial veio a substituir a linguagem de fluxões neste exame.

100. Peacock For Thanksgiving peacock for Thanksgiving. One of our (mixed) blessings. Terry writes peacockGeorge. One of the mixed blessings at Windward has been the peacocks. http://www.windward.org/notes/notes63/tar63_5.htm

Notes from Windward: #63 Peacock for Thanksgiving One of our (mixed) blessings Terry writes: Peacock George One of the mixed blessings at Windward has been the peacocks. Two years ago there was one, affectionately named "George." He apparently was an excess bachelor kicked out of our neighbor's flock. Upon inquiry, our neighbor informed us that we were welcome to keep any strays that wandered over. George was quite friendly and added color to our site. He left us feathers when he molted, put on a show for the chickens and ducks and made funny noises. A year ago, George brought over a friend. Then there were two peacocks leaving us feathers, courting the chickens and making funny noises. This year our uninvited flock of peacocks and hens numbered almost a dozen, including three chicks that disappeared after only a day. Pretty as they are, unfortunately, they're becoming a pest. They're not shy at all about helping themselves to the food put out for the ducks, chickens and song birds and, because of their size, they can easily chase any other birds away from the food. And so, we decided that since the peacocks were sharing the duck and chicken food, they should also share the same fate as our birds, i.e. some of them should become dinner assuming of course that they taste "ok." The grand experiment took place this Thanksgiving when a peacock joined the turkey as the center piece of our holiday dinner.
