Hyperbelzirkel des Frans van Schooten Auf dieser Seite wird eine Simulaton des Hyperbelzirkels von Frans van Schooten (1615-1660) gezeigt. Van Schooten versuchte die bis dahin benutzten Fadenkonstruktionen durch einen stabileren Gelenkmechanismus zu ersetzen, dessen Originalabbildung man in der nebenstehenden Abbildung ansehen kann. Der Punkt A kann in der Simulation frei um C herum bewegt werden, was bei einem realen Gestänge natürlich nicht möglich ist, so dass hier sogar ein Teil des linken Hyperbelastes gezeichnet werden kann, obwohl das mit einem wirklichen Hyperbelzirkel nicht geht. Dies ist der Tribut, den man wegen der Einfachheit des Programmiersystems zahlen muss Reset durch Eintippen von "r" Aufgaben Zeichnen Sie zunächst eine Hyperbel durch Ziehen am Punkt D. Verändern Sie dann die Lage des Punktes F und wiederholen Sie die Zeichnung. Welche Lage hat die Gerade LM bezüglich der Hyperbel? Welche Aufgabe hat die Raute im Gelenkmechanismus? Schalten Sie das Koordinatensystem ein und zeigen Sie, dass die Koordinaten von P die Hyperbelgleichung erfüllen. Wie sind hier a und b zu wählen?

A Latin translation of La Geometrie by Frans van Schooten (1615-60), first published in 1649 and reprinted several times, not only made the book available in the language all scholars could read but contained a commentary which expanded Descartes's compact presentation. In the edition of 1659-61, van Schooten actually gave the algebraic form of a transformation of coordinates from one base line (x-axis) to another. He was so impressed with the power of Descartes's method that he claimed the Greek geometers had used it to derive their results. Having the algebraic work, the Greeks, according to van Schooten, saw how to obtain the results syntheticallyhe showed how this could perspicuous than the algebraic, to amaze the world.

Van Schootens Ellipsenzirkel Der Gelenkmechanismus, der in der nebenstehenden Abbildung dargestellt wird, wurde von Frans van Schooten, einem holländischen Mathematiker aus dem 17. Jahrhundert erfunden. Wenn man am Punkt E zieht, bewegt sich die gesamte Raute OIPG und der Stift am Punkt B zeichnet eine Spur, von der wir zeigen wollen, dass es eine Ellipse ist. Der Mechanismus ist an den Punkten H und I auf der Zeichenunterlage befestigt. Beim Applet weiter unten muss man allerdings am Punkt G ziehen. Aufgaben Fertigen Sie zunächst im Appletfenster eine "Zeichnung" mit den vorgegebenen Einstellungen an. Verändern Sie die Seitenlänge der Raute, indem Sie die Strecke oben links durch Ziehen am rechten Ende verlängern. Prüfen Sie ob dies einen Einfluss auf die Ellipsenform oder -größe hat. Ziehen Sie den Punkt I näher an A heran und löschen Sie die Spurpunkte durch Anklicken des roten Kreuzes unten rechts. Fertigen Sie eine neue "Zeichnung" an. Was hat sich geändert? Welche Lage hat die Gerade OP bezüglich der Ellipse und welche Aufgabe hat die Raute OIPG im Gelenkmechanismus? Wie funktioniert's?

Load Home page + menu Last Update april 21, 2004 17th century Introduction Some texts start the tale of probability and statistics by mentioning the isolated efforts of Cardano ( Liber de Ludo Aleae (1565), first published in 1663) and Galilei ( Sopra le Scoperte dei Dadi (around 1620), first published in 1718), but there is a consensus that it all began with some questions on gambling posed by Antoine Gombaud, Chevalier de Méré and Damien Mitton to Pascal in 1654. As there are no journals in those days , other means are needed to obtain and divulge the latest scientific developments. Writing letters was one way of dealing with this obstacle. It is Marin Mersenne who plays a central part as a communication link between scientists and philosophers all over Europe by writing and receiving letters and passing them to others. Among his acquaintances are Descartes, Pascal, Fermat, Galilei and Huygens. Between July and October of that year seven letters are written by Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat which form the genesis of the probability theory. One of the topics of these letters, the forementioned question of de Méré, is known as the

Next: About this document April 3, 1997 Early Calculus II Frans van Schooten , (1615-1660), Netherlands, had succeeded his father as professor of mathematics at Leyden. Because the original by Descartes was difficult to read, Van Schooten made a careful and clear translation of Descartes' La Geometrie into Latin, the preferred language of scholars. Partly the reason for this was so that his students could understand it. In 1659-1661, an expanded version was published. Geometria a Renato Des Cartes Two additional additions appeared in 1683 and 1695. It is reasonable to say that although analytic geometry was introduced by Descartes, it was established by Schooten. Jan de Witt , (1625-1672), the Grand Pensionary of Holland, was a colleague of Schooten. He wrote in his earlier years Elementa curvarum , a work in two parts. The first part (Part I) was on the kinematic and planimetric definitions of the conic sections. Among his ideas are the focus-directrix ratio definitions. The term `directrix' is original with De Witt. Part II, on the other hand, makes such a systematic use of coordinates that it has justifiably been called the first textbook on analytic geometry.

Constructie gebaseerd op de verplaatsing van een lijnstuk (met vaste lengte) over twee snijdende lijnen Johan de Witt (1625-1672), raadpensionaris van de Staten van Holland, voegt op 8 oktober 1658 aan een brief aan Frans van Schooten de Jongere (1615-1660) "eene aenspraecke aan UE" toe, waarin (in vertaling van Dr.A.W.Grootendorst) hij schrijft: "Toen ik echter de leerboeken van de overige kromme lijnen -voorzover deze door de Ouden zijn overgeleverd en door jongeren zijn verklaard- nauwkeurig had bestudeerd, achtte ik het volslagen in te gaan tegen de natuurlijke orde -die men in de wiskunde zoveel mogelijk in acht moet nemen- dat men de oorsprong van deze krommen zoekt in een ruimtelijk lichaam en deze vervolgens overbrengt naar het platte vlak." De Witt stoorde zich blijkbaar aan het feit, dat de bekende kegelsneden door de Grieken (onder wie Apollonius van Perga ) de vlakke krommen via ruimtelijke beschouwingen genereerden, namelijk als doorsnijding van een kegel en een plat vlak.
