Getting Started Assignments Progress Timeline ... Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Calculus I: Differential Calculus (Chapter Four suggested timeline is 25 school days) Chapter Four Lesson Five: Linearization and Newton's Method INSTRUCTOR'S NOTES: Prior to scientific calculators, slides and primitive calculating devices, mathematicians relied upon algebraic and geometric skills to accomplish fairly complex problems. This lesson provides an historical look at the evolution of the derivative. DISCUSSION: Consider when you first learned how to take the square root of a number, like 30. You knew the answer had to be located between 5 and 6, because of your knowledge of perfect squares. But in order to find a more reasonable approximation, you had to take multiple iterations of the algorithm. Linearization is similar to taking multiple iterations in that the closer one gets to a target value in a function, the better the approximation of the linearization to the actual differential of that function. A good explanation can be found

Solving Equations by Approximation Some of the oldest problems in mathematics require the finding of solutions (roots) of equations of the form f(x) = 0. For polynomial equations of degree one or two (ax + b, ax + bx + c), general methods of finding the roots have been known since 2000BCE and, in the 16th century, Italian mathematicians developed procedures for polynomials of degree three and four, (ax + bx + cx + d, ax + bx + cx + dx + e). In 1826 however, the Norwegian mathematician Niels Abel showed that there is no general method for solving polynomial equations of degree greater than four. In fact, when f is not a polynomial equation, f(x) = can be solved exactly only in very special cases. In cases when we cannot solve f(x) = exactly, we need an efficient method of approximating solutions to any required degree of accuracy. In addition such a method would be valuable with equations which we can solve but require us to take roots, such as cube roots which are difficult to obtain accurately in any case. Isaac Newton, in 1669, developed such a method, based on his newly developed differential calculus.

Ruffini based his method on that discovered by Newton around 1670 but first published by Joseph Raphson in 1690. To solve an equation f(x) = by the Newton-Raphson method, the first step is to locate the root approximately. Knowing that a root lies between the values x = p and x = p + 1, where p is an integer, we set y = x - p; then g(y) = f(y + p) will have a root close to y = 0, and this can be found approximately by neglecting terms in g(y) involving powers of y higher than the first. Suppose that this approximate root lies between q/10 and (q + 1)/10. Then we repeat the procedure, setting z = y - q/10 and forming h(z) = g(z + q/10). In this way, the root is determined a digit at a time. Ruffini's contribution was to give an efficient iterative algorithm for determining the coefficients of f(y + p) given those of f(y), which is a crucial step in the Newton-Raphson procedure.

Sobre el autor El método de las fluxiones Se franquea una segunda etapa en el momento en que Newton acaba, en 1671, su obra Methodus fluxionum et serierum infiniturum, comenzada en 1664. Newton tenía intención de publicarla, en particular en su Opticks, pero a causa de las críticas formuladas anteriormente con respecto a sus principios sobre la naturaleza de la luz, decidió no hacerlo. De hecho, será publicada en 1736 en edición inglesa, y no será publicada en versión original hasta 1742. Newton expone en este libro su segunda concepción del análisis introduciendo en sus métodos infinitesimales el concepto de fluxión. En su prefacio, Newton comenta la decisión de Mercator de aplicar al álgebra la «doctrina de las fracciones decimales», porque, dice, «esta aplicación abre el camino para llegar a descubrimientos más importantes y más difíciles». Después habla del papel de las sucesiones infinitas en el nuevo análisis y de las operaciones que se pueden efectuar con esas sucesiones. La primera parte de la obra se refiere justamente a la reducción de «términos complicados» mediante división y extracción de raíces con el fin de obtener sucesiones infinitas.

Isaac Newton Newtons's Deathmask (Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences) As far as science is concerned, the figure of Isaac Newton (1643 - 1727) does stand as a watershed between the ancient world and the modern one. The introduction of the so-called "scientific method" is often attributed to Newton. Even though such a claim is very questionable, it suggests the fundamental role that he played in transforming physical science into an experimentally grounded, yet analytical, quantitative, mathematical enterprise (consider, for example, the very title of his fundamental work, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica method of fluxions ', as he termed it, was based on his crucial insight that the integration of a function is merely the inverse procedure to differentiating it. Taking differentiation as the basic operation, Newton produced simple analytical methods that unified many separate techniques previously developed to solve apparently unrelated problems such as finding areas, tangents, the lengths of curves and the maxima and minima of functions.

51. Origins Of Some Arithmetic Terms 3. Apparently, the first English translation of Leibniz Nova Methodvs pro maximiset minimis was carried out by joseph raphson in The Theory of Fluxions http://www.pballew.net/arithme1.html

Origins of some Math terms Back to Math Words Alphabetical Index Abscissa is the formal term for the x-coordinate of a point on a coordinate graph. The abscissa of the point (3,5) is three. The word is a conjunction of ab (remove) + scindere (tear). Literally then, to tear or cut apart, as a line perpendicular to the x-axis would do to the coordinate plane. The main root is closely related to the Latin root from which we get the word scissors. Leibniz apparently coined the mathematical use of the term around 1692. Absolute Value The word absolute is from a variant of absolve and has a meaning related to free from restriction or condition. It seems that the mathematical phrase was first used by Karl Weierstrass in reference to complex numbers. In "The Words of Mathematics", Steven Schwartzman suggests that the use of the word for real values only became common in the middle of the 20th century. For complex numbers the absolute value is also called magnitude or length of the complex number. Complex numbers are sometimes drawn as a vector using an Argand Diagram After posting a request for information to the Historia Matematica discussion group about the use of the tilde to indicate absolute difference in England I received the following update from Herbert Prinz: Acute is from the Latin word acus for needle, with derivatives generalizing to anything pointed or sharp. The root persists in the words acid (sharp taste), acupuncture (to treat with needles) and acumen (mentally sharp). An acute angle then, is one which is sharp or pointed. In mathematics we define an acute angle as one which has a measure of less than 90

NZMS Newsletter #73 CENTREFOLD John Fauvel This year's New Zealand Mathematical Society Visiting Lecturer, John Fauvel, is a historian of mathematics from the Open University in the UK. He will arrive in Auckland on 26 September, and spend the next three weeks touring through the universities in a southerly direction. The Open University teaches students who are studying part-time, from home, and has built up a strong reputation for the quality of its teaching materials designed to be studied at a distance. John brings on his visit to New Zealand a great enthusiasm for mathematics education at all levels, and the use of history of mathematics within that teaching and learning process. This is the first time that the New Zealand Mathematical Society Visiting Lecturer has been a specialist in the history of mathematics. A Scot, born in Glasgow, John was educated in mathematics at the universities of Essex and Warwick before joining the Open University to help in an area which the University (then in its early years) was seeking to develop, the history of mathematics. Since then he has worked on mathematics as well as interdisciplinary courses. It was for an Open University course on the history of mathematics that John produced, with his OU colleague Jeremy Gray, one of the leading source-books in the field, "The history of mathematics: a reader" (Macmillan 1987). John's last visit to New Zealand, in 1995, was to make some films for the Open University's foundation mathematics course, having returned from an earlier visit to insist to his UK colleagues that every possible way in which mathematical modelling is used to understand the world can be found in New Zealand! The films include the modelling work of Colin Fox (University of Auckland), David Fletcher (University of Otago), and Dion Burns (University of Otago), an interview with statistician Wiremu Solomon (University of Auckland), and include, too, the 1858 Maori arithmetic which John found in the Auckland Public Library on his previous visit, thanks to the help of New Zealand's historian-in-residence Garry Tee and Auckland mathematics educator Bill Barton.

¦­´Á¼Æ¾Ç¦r·Jªº¾ú¥v (A) Last revision: July 29, 1999 ABELIAN EQUATION. Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891) introduced the term Abelsche Gleichung in an 1853 paper on algebraically soluble equations. He used the term to describe an equation which in modern terms would be described as having cyclic Galois group [Peter M. Neumann]. ABELIAN FUNCTION. C. G. J. Jacobi (1804-1851) proposed the term Abelsche Transcendenten (Abelian transcendental functions) in Crelle's Journal 8 (1832) (DSB). Abelian function appears in the title "Zur Theorie der Abelschen Functionen" by Karl Weierstrass (1815-1897) in Crelle's Journal, Weierstrass' first publications on Abelian functions appeared in the Braunsberg school prospectus (1848-1849). ABELIAN GROUP. Camille Jordan (1838-1922) wrote groupe ab?lien in 1870 in Trait? des Substitutions et des Equations Alg?braiques. However, Jordan does not mean a commutative group as we do now, but instead means the symplectic group over a finite field (that is to say, the group of those linear transformations of a vector space that preserve a non-singular alternating bilinear form). In fact, Jordan uses both the terms "groupe ab?lien" and "?quation ab?lienne." The former means the symplectic group; the latter is a natural modification of Kronecker's terminology and means an equation of which (in modern terms) the Galois group is commutative. An early use of "Abelian" to refer to commutative groups is H. Weber, "Beweis des Satzes, dass jede eigentlich primitive quadratische Form unendlich viele Primzahlen darzustellen f?hig ist,"

Search The Turner Collections, University of Keele Document 1: "The Turner Collection, Keele", by Martin Phillips From the BSHM Newsletter 28Spring 1995: British Libraries #5 In 1968 Mr Charles Turner (1886-1973), a retired civil servant, decided that he would like to donate his collection of books on mathematics and related subjects to a library which had not had the opportunity or good fortune to acquire such a special collection. Keele University was the fortunate recipient of his generosity, as a direct result of his friendship with a London family, the Ingrams, some thirty years previously. The son of that family, Professor David Ingram, was head of physics at Keele in 1968 and through his efforts and those of Stanley Stewart, the University Librarian, the collection was handed over. Turner was never a wealthy man, but due to some successful money-making ventures during the Great War and due to a single-minded approach to the exercise he was able to build up over a period of some forty years one of the finest collections of mathematics books in the country. He was also lucky in that it was possible when he started out to pick up early printed mathematics works for, in some cases, just a few shillings. The collection comprises roughly 1400 books and pamphlets connected with mathematics and allied subjects. Represented within it are all the great names from the earliest times through to the twentieth century. What then are some of the treasures?
