Karl Pearson: A Reader’s Guide Go to FRONT page Print the legend! [The first thing Pearson could remember] was sitting in a high chair sucking his thumb. Someone told him to stop sucking it, and added that unless he did so, the thumb would wither away. He put his two thumbs together and looked at them for a long time. “They look alike to me,” he said to himself. “I can’t see that the thumb I suck is any smaller than the other. I wonder if she could be lying to me.” Here in this simple story we have rejection of constituted authority, faith in his own interpretation of the meaning of observed data, and finally, imputation of moral obliquity to a person whose judgement differed from his own. These characteristics were prominent throughout his entire career.

Karl Pearson Beginning around 1880, three famous mathematicians, Karl Pearson, Francis Galton and Edgeworth created a statistical revolution in Europe. Of the three mathematicians, it was Karl Pearson, along with his ambition and determination, that lead people to consider him the founder of the twentieth-century science of statistics. Born on March 27, 1857 in London, England, Karl Pearson's early years were spent being educated at home. At age nine, Karl was sent away from home to University College School, London. After receiving a B.A. with mathematical honors from King's College, Cambridge in 1879, Pearson was off to Germany. While in Germany, he continued to educate himself while studying physics, metaphysics, and Darwinism. It was Pearson's belief in his own special variety of social Darwinism that led him to change the spelling of his given name, Carl, to Karl. Upon leaving Germany and returning to London, Pearson married a young lady named Maria Sharpe. The young couple had three children, Sigrid, Helga, and Egon. This marriage was short-lived because Maria died at a young age in 1892. Pearson would later re-marry a woman who was a co-worker in his department, Margaret Victoria Child. In order to raise and support his family, Pearson returned to University College where he would excel as a teacher and lecturer. He would continue to work as a professor and lecturer in a small room until just a few months before his death. Karl Pearson's drive and determination may have outweighed his mathematical ability and may have been a primary reason for his success. Of the three leaders of the statistical revolution, Pearson may not have been the most knowledgeable, but he recognized the power and intelligence of Edgeworth and Galton's work. This recognition is what sparked some of the ideas he created that are still used today.

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Karl Pearson: National Life From the Standpoint of Science, 1900 Pearson's ideas, which are all about a social darwinistic, racist/nationalist, notion of the superiority of Europeans stuff was quite common at the time. It is simply offensive today. History shows me one way, and one way only, in which a high state of civilization has been produced, namely, the struggle of race with race, and the survival of the physically and mentally fitter race. If you want to know whether the lower races of man can evolve a higher type, I fear the only course is to leave them to fight it out among themselves, and even then the struggle for existence between individual and individual, between tribe and tribe, may not be supported by that physical selection due to a particular climate on which probably so much of the Aryan's success depended. . . There is a struggle of race against race and of nation against nation. In the early days of that struggle it was a blind, unconscious struggle of barbaric tribes. At the present day, in the case of the civilized white man, it has become more and more the conscious, carefully directed attempt of the nation to fit itself to a continuously changing environment. The nations has to foresee how and where the struggle will be carried on; the maintenance of national position is becoming more and more a conscious preparation for changing conditions, an insight into the needs of coming environments.

William was a barrister of the Inner Temple [26]:- He was a man of great ability, with exceptional mental and physical energy and a keen interest in historical research, traits which his son also exhibited. William and Fanny named their second child Carl and he used this name until he was about 23 years old when he changed the spelling to Karl. In this article we shall refer to him either as Karl or as Pearson. Karl, together with his one older brother and one younger sister, were brought up in an upper-middle class family. After being educated at home up to the age of nine years, he was sent to University College School, London. He studied there until he was sixteen, but he was then forced to leave due to illness. A private tutor was engaged to teach him at home and he took the Cambridge Scholarship Examinations in 1875 and, coming second in the examinations, he won a scholarship to King's College. At Cambridge he was taught by Stokes Maxwell Cayley and Burnside . His coach was perhaps the most famous of all the Cambridge coaches, namely

It lists writings by statisticians, geneticists, several varieties of historian—of science, of politics, of social thought, of feminism, of literature—and sociologists of science. It tries to accommodate different interests and levels of sophistication. However the coverage is neither exhaustive nor uniform—there is a bias towards the history of statistics.

Karl Pearson A great figure in the history of statistics, known by fierce controversies with others (especially with Ronald A. Fisher). In addition to professional contributions to the analysis of skewed curves (distributions), ƒÔ-square statistic, or works on correlations, his view on philosophy of science is also important; his view was similar to Mach's view in many respects. He was a major academic proponent of eugenics after Galton; his chair at London was founded by Galton's fund. However, after Pearson retired, the school of statistics at London was divided into two camps, one by Neyman and (the son) Pearson, and the other by Ronald Fisher.

The Mathematician, carried along on his flood of symbols, dealing apparently with purely formal truths, may still reach results of endless importance for our description of the physical universe. ~ Quoted in N Rose Mathematical Maxims and Minims (Raleigh N C 1988). Born: March 27, 1857 in London, England Died: April 27, 1936 in London, England Karl Pearson graduated from Cambridge University in 1879, then spent most of his career at University College, London. He was the first Galton professor of eugenics, holding the chair from 1911 to 1933. His book The Grammar of Science (1892), was remarkable in that it anticipated some of the ideas of relativity theory. It was wide ranging and attempted to extend the influence of science into all aspects. Pearson then became interested in developing mathematical methods for studying the processes of heredity and evolution. He applied statistics to biological problems of heredity and evolution. From 1893-1912 he wrote 18 papers entitled Mathematical Contribution to the Theory of Evolution which contain his most valuable work. These papers contain contributions to regression analysis, the correlation coefficient and includes the chi-square test of statistical significance (1900). His chi-square test was produced in an attempt to remove the normal distribution from its central position.

In the early 1900's Pearson became interested in the work of Francis Galton, who wanted to find statistical relationships to explain how biological characteristics were passed down through generations. Pearson's research laid much of the foundation for 20th-century statistics, defining the meanings of correlation, regression analysis, and standard deviation.
