Van Schootens Parabelzirkel Der in der nebenstehenden Abbildung dargestellte Gelenkmechanismus wurde im 17. Jahrhundert von Frans van Schooten, einem niederländischen Mathematiker, erfunden und ist in einem von ihm veröffentlichten Buch beschrieben. Wenn man den Punkt G an der waagerechten Führungsschiene entlangzieht, bewegt sich das orthogonale Lineal GD und die Raute BFGH mit. Am Schnittpunkt D der Rautendiagonale und des orthogonalen Lineals ist ein Zeichenstift befestigt, der den Parabelbogen zeichnet. Weiter unten finden Sie ein zugehöriges Applet, mit dem der Zirkel simuliert wird. Die roten Punkte können nach dem Anklicken bei gedrückter linker Maustaste gezogen werden. Folgen Sie den Anweisungen in den Aufgaben. Aufgaben Führen Sie die Bewegungen aus um den Parabelbogen zu zeichnen. Welche Lage hat die Gerade BH bezüglich der Parabel? Vergleichen Sie diese Anordnung mit der auf einem früheren Arbeitsblatt und erläutern Sie die Funktionsweise des Zirkels. Welche Aufgabe hat insbesondere die Raute FGHB? Falls Sie noch keine Kenntnis über die Parabel als Ortslinie haben, informieren Sie sich zunächst, indem Sie auf Parabel klicken.

No source says anything about a degree, and given the tendency always to mention one, I assume then that Schooten did not persevere to one. He travelled to Paris and London about 1637, and there met the leading mathematicians. He was back in Leiden in 1643. 5. Religion Affiliation: Calvinist 6. Scientific Disciplines Primary: Mathematics He was trained in mathematics at Leiden, and he met Descartes there in 1637 and read the proofs of his Geometry. In Paris he collect manuscripts of the works of Viète, and in Leiden he published Viète's works.

Van Schooten's Hyperbola The mechanical linkage below appears in the work of Frans van Schooten, a Dutch mathematician who lived in the 17th century. The rod through points C and A is attached to a board at point C and pivots around this point. Point F is also a stationary point attached to the board. As you drag point A, notice that rhombus ADFE expands and contracts. Point B (the traced point) lies at the intersection of the rod through CA and the rod passing through rhombus vertices D and E. Even though the hyperbola has two separate branches, notice how the linkage operates in one smooth, continuous motion. Can you describe the position of the linkage's arms at the two asymptotes of the hyperbola? Scroll down when you're ready. Sorry, this page requires a Java-compatible web browser. Perhaps the best way to understand why this linkage draws hyperbolas is to first study the Folded Circle construction . After you've done so, click once on the "show" button above. You'll see a red circle with center at C passing through point A. Drag point A around the circle. Do you see the similarity between this construction and the Folded Circle method? What's the purpose of rhombus ADFE? View Van Schooten's original illustration of this linkage.

Van Schooten's Parabola The mechanical linkage below appears in the work of Frans van Schooten, a Dutch mathematician who lived in the 17th century. As you drag point G, you'll notice that rhombus BFGH expands and contracts. Rod FD is attached to the rhombus at F and H. Rod GD is perpendicular to the track along which G slides. Can you explain why point D traces a parabola? As a hint, use the locus definition of a parabola: the set of points equidistant from a fixed point (the focus) and a fixed line (the directrix). You should also think about the purpose served by rhombus BFGH. Note: you can clear the trace of point D by clicking on the red 'X' at the bottom right-hand corner.

Frans en Laurent De Baere 1. Levensloop van Frans, de oudste zoon van Joannes. Inleiding Franciscus Xaverius De Baere werd geboren op maandag 17 februari 1698 te Maldegem, alwaar hij op dinsdag 9 mei 1752, op 54-jarige leeftijd, zou overlijden. Frans huwde twee keer; hij had een dozijn kinderen in totaal. 8 kinderen binnen zijn eerste huwelijk en 4 kinderen binnen zijn tweede huwelijk. Hij was reeds 47 jaar toen zijn jongste werd geboren. Samen met zijn jongere broer Laurent, die 13 kinderen had uit drie huwelijken, zorgde hij ervoor dat de familienaam "De Baere" niet zou uitsterven ! 1710 : Communie als overgang naar volwassenheid In ons hoofdstuk over Joannes schreven we al dat er weinig is geweten over hoe kinderen in het Ancien Régime (d.w.z. de periode voor de Franse Revolutie) hun jeugd doorbrachten. Duidelijk is in elk geval, dat de plechtige communie die jeugdjaren afsloot. Voortaan begint men stilaan tot de volwassenen te behoren, ofschoon men pas op 25 meerderjarig wordt De leeftijd voor de plechtige communie, de enige inwijding waardoor men volwaardig lid van de kerk opgenomen werd, stond niet vast en was een beslissing van de plaatselijke pastoor . Pas in de loop van de zeventiende eeuw werd van die eerste communiebeurt een collectieve plechtigheid gemaakt. (Brugge 1656, Tielt 1691). Deze Communie was wel een cruciaal gebeuren: de niet-communicanten waren de kinderen, wie zijn communie had gedaan, of dat nu op 13-14 dan wel 16-17-jarige leeftijd gebeurde, werd tot de categorie van de semi-adulten gerekend. Het communiefeest was dus de start van het beroepsleven ! Vermoedelijk lag die leeftijd rond 1700 op 15 à 16 jaar. We kunnen dus veronderstellen dat Frans voor het eerst als "strodekkersknaap" mee optrok met zijn vader vanaf 1710 ongeveer
