Alicia Boole Stott June 8, 1860 - December 17, 1940 The third of the five daughters of Mary Everest Boole . Despite having no formal education in mathematics, she still possessed a great power of geometric visualization in hyperspace. From the age of seventeen until her death, she remained interested in regular and semi-regular four-dimensional polytopes and made several important discoveries in this area. The University of Groningen conferred upon her an honorary degree and exhibited her geometric models. References Coxeter, H.S.M.

Stott learned of Schoute's work on central sections of the regular polytopes in 1895 and Alicia Stott sent him photographs of her cardboard models. Schoute came to England and worked with Alicia Stott, persuading her to publish her results which she did in two papers published in Amsterdam in 1900 and 1910.

No. 880: ALICIA BOOLE STOTT by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 880. Today, we enter hyperspace on a kitchen table. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. Y our computer depends on Boolean logic. That's kin to the arithmetic that admits only two numbers: and 1. Binary arithmetic doesn't go 1, 2, 3, 4. It goes 0, 1, 10, 11. The English mathematician George Boole built his logic on that arithmetic. But we're interested in Boole's daughter, Alice Boole Stott. George Boole took a professorship at Queen's College, Cork, in 1849. Alice was born there in 1860. When she was four, George died of the fever and left the family with very limited means. For the next 14 years, Alice lived in bad conditions in Ireland and England. She was educated only up to the age of 16. Then a piece of serendipity: In 1878 a family friend brought in a set of wooden blocks and talked with Alice about tesseracts. A tesseract is a four-dimensional object. It is to a cube what a cube is to a plane square. If you have trouble picturing that, you can appreciate the task Alice had taken on.

He was teaching in Ireland when Alicia was born there, in 1860, and he died four years later. Alicia lived with her grandmother in England and her great-uncle in Cork for the next ten years before she rejoined her mother and sisters in London. In her teens, Alicia Stott became interested in four-dimensional hypercubes, or tesseracts. She became secretary to John Falk, an associate of her brother-in-law, Howard Hinton, who had introduced her to tesseracts. Alicia Stott continued building models of wood to represent four-dimensional convex solids, which she named polytopes, and published an article on three-dimenstional sections of hypersolids in 1900. She married Walter Stott, an actuary. They had two children, and Alicia Stott settled into the role of homemaker until her husband noted that her mathematical interests might also be of interest to the mathematician Pieter Hendrik Schoute at the University of Groningen. After the Stotts wrote to Schoute, and Schoute saw photographs of some models that Alicia Stott had built, Schoute moved to England to work with her.

General Computing Terms George Boole George Boole (1815-1864) was a British mathematician and is known as the founder of mathematical logic. Boole, who came from a poor family and was essentially a self-taught mathematician, made his presence known in the world of mathematics in 1847 after the publication of his book, "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic". In his book, Boole successfully demonstrated that logic, as Aristotle taught it, could be represented by algebraic equations. In 1854, Boole firmly established his reputation by publishing "An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on Which Are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities", a continuation of his earlier work. In 1855 Boole, the first professor of mathematics at The College of Cork, Ireland, married Mary Everest, who is now known as a mathematician and teacher in her own right. Mary, who was 18 years younger than Boole, served as sounding-board and editor for her husband throughout their nine years of marriage. Unfortunately, Mary's poor choice of medical treatment may have hastened Boole's death. After getting caught in the rain and catching a cold, Boole was put to bed by his wife, who dumped buckets of water on him based on the theory that whatever had caused the illness would also provide the cure. (It seemed logical to her.) George and Mary had five daughters; the third daughter, Alicia Boole Stott, became well-known for her work in the visualization of geometric figures in hyperspace.

Alicia Boole Stott Alicia Boole Stott è una delle cinque figlie di Mary Everest e George Boole. Si interessa giovanissima alla geometria dello spazio a quattro dimensioni , facendo di questo capitolo della matematica il suo costante campo di ricerca. ATTIVITA' Negli anni della giovinezza in Inghilterra, Alicia indirizza le sue curiosità culturali allo studio degli iperspazi, dopo che Hinton nel 1880 aveva anche scritto un articolo dal titolo "Che cosa è la quarta dimensione?". Hinton è cognato della giovane Boole e se a lei il padre e la madre avevano trasmesso la passione per la matematica, Hinton incide decisamente nella scelta del suo campo specifico di ricerca Particolarmente importanti sono gli studi di Alicia Stott sui politopi regolari , gli equivalenti nello spazio a quattro dimensioni dei poliedri regolari nello spazio a tre dimensioni. La Stott si occupa in particolare delle sezioni dei politopi con lo spazio a tre dimensioni e riesce a realizzare modelli di varie sezioni dei politopi utilizzando solo nozioni di geometria sintetica. Nel 1900 pubblica il saggio: "On certain series of sections of tht regular four-dimensional hypersolids".
