1. Pantheist Association For Nature - Joseph Raphson Joseph Raphson. 16481715. By Gary Suttle. Cambridge intellectual Joseph Raphson holds a special place among the lodestars of Pantheismrecent scholarship credits him with originating the terms pantheist and pantheism. http://home.utm.net/pan/raph-son.html

Joseph Raphson By Gary Suttle References . Edited by Philip McGuinness, Alan Harrison, and Richard Kearney. Dublin, Ireland: The Lilliput Press, 1997. . Personal Communication, October, 28, 2002 and November 18, 2002. Dr. Daniel relates "When I ran across Raphson's Latin use of pantheos and pantheismus in 1994, I think I was simply following up on a reference to Raphson by Berkeley (in his "Philosophical Commentaries"). Most Berkeley scholars are not as familiar with Toland as I probably am, so the appearance of the terms struck me (since I, like everyone else, had thought that Toland was the first to use them). Probably people knew of Raphson's use of the terms but had not made the connection about who used them first. At least in 1994 I was still under the impression that Toland had used the term first. When I mentioned it to (a fellow scholar), he suggested that I contact the folks at the Oxford English Dictionary to update their entry. But since the OED deals with English uses, I did not because Toland still would have been the first to use the English versions. However, as Toland notes in "Serena," Raphson seems to have come up with the concepts of pantheism and pantheist in 1697. I guess I may have been the first to have seen that, primarily in the Toland-Berkeley context (of which latter relation there is a lot more to sayand I am currently working on it for a book on Berkeley)." Hanson, Ken.

2. Joseph Raphson Joseph Raphson. 16481715. The life of Joseph Raphson (1648-1715) isone that is shrouded in mystery and rather difficult to follow. http://numericalmethods.eng.usf.edu/anecdotes/raphson.html

Joseph Raphson De spatio reali was a work which dealt with Raphson's vision of space, called 'real space'. He thought of space as being independent of the mind that perceives it. In this work he also discussed the infinite (potential and actual) and motion in space, where space is said to be infinite, but the objects in it are finite. Demonstratio de deo dealt with the issue of space and Raphson's Cabalist ideals. As an ironic twist, Newton views of space were strongly influenced by religion, the Christian religion and philosophy.

No obituary of Raphson seems to have been written and we can now only piece together details about his life from records which exist such at University of Cambridge records and records of the Royal Society . It is through the University of Cambridge records that we know that Raphson attended Jesus College Cambridge and graduated with an M.A. in 1692. Rather remarkably Raphson was made a member of the Royal Society in 1691, the year before he graduated. His election to that Society was on the strength of his book Analysis aequationum universalis which was published in 1690 contained the Newton method for approximating the roots of an equation. In Method of Fluxions Newton describes the same method and, as an example, finds the root of x x - 5 = lying between 2 and 3. Although written in 1671 it was not published until 1736, so Raphson published the result nearly 50 years before Newton Raphson's relation to Newton is important but not particularly well understood.

10. Pantheist Association For Nature - John Toland (joseph raphson, a Cambridge mathematician, originated the words pantheist and pantheism in a 1697 theological work written in Latin Toland had read http://home.utm.net/pan/toland.html

John Toland By Gary Suttle Lexicographers credit John Toland with the first English language usage of the word "pantheist." Toland set forth precepts of Pantheism and even described membership activities for a Pantheist Society. Biographers describe Toland as a swashbuckling adventurer in scholarshipa philosopher, a writer, a linguist, a polemicist, a diplomat, a biblical scholar, a freethinker, a deist, and ultimately a proponent of Pantheism. His fascinating life began near Londonderry, Ireland, on November 30, 1670. Christened in the Catholic Church, he converted to Protestantism around age 15. Education led him from Christianity to freethinking. Toland acquired a degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1690. He studied further in England, Germany, and Holland. A Dutch friend called Toland as "a free-spirited, ingenious man." But his unorthodox views and outspokenness made it hard to earn a living. He gained income by penning political pamphlets and biographies for aristocratic patrons. Toland wrote prolifically on a wide range of subjects, including religious tolerance and civil liberty. A large bibliography lists almost two hundred works authored or ascribed to him. An important early book

Who is Joseph Raphson? From the Newton-Raphson Method (solving for roots in equations) Does anybody have some information on who he was, what he did, and why he gets credit? I've searched everywhere, net, encyclopedias, Dictionsaries, and there is very little information. What I know so far is that he wrote a book. Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated. Thomas Bush The Math Forum

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Newton's method In numerical analysis Newton's method (or the Newton-Raphson method ) is an efficient algorithm for finding approximations to the zero (or root) of a real-valued function . As such, it is an example of a root-finding algorithm Table of contents 1 History 2 The Method 2.1 Example 2.2 Practical considerations ... 2.3 Generalization History Newton's method was discovered by Isaac Newton and published in Method of Fluxions in . Although the method was described by Joseph Raphson in Analysis Aequationum in , the relevant sections of Method of Fluxions were written earlier, in The Method The idea of the method is as follows: one starts with a value which is reasonably close to the true zero, then replaces the function by its tangent (which can be computed using the tools of calculus ) and computes the zero of this tangent (which is easily done with elementary algebra). This zero of the tangent will typically be a better approximation to the function's zero, and the method can be iterated. Suppose f a b R is a differentiable function defined on the interval a b ] with values in the real numbers R . We start with an arbitrary value x (the closer to the zero the better) and then define for each natural number n Here
