The politics of Revolution in France long before this event had been so exciting for Vandermonde that it diverted him from a possible longer mathematical and scientific career. However the truth of the matter is that he suffered from poor health all his life and, but for this, he might well have been able to be highly involved in politics yet continue with mathematical and scientific activities. Perhaps the name of Vandermonde is best known today for the Vandermonde determinant . While it is certainly true that he made a major contribution to the theory of determinants, yet nowhere in his four mathematical papers does this determinant appear. It is rather strange, therefore, that this determinant should be named after him and several authors have puzzled over the fact for some time.

Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Vandermonde determinant Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition In linear algebra Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with the study of vectors, vector spaces (or linear spaces), linear transformations, and systems of linear equations. Vector spaces are a central theme in modern mathematics; thus, linear algebra is widely used in both abstract algebra and functional analysis. Linear algebra also has a concrete representation in analytic geometry. It has extensive applications in the natural sciences and the social sciences.

It comes from the Latin word for "womb", which itself derived from the Latin word for "mother", which is mater . Various disciplines use the term "matrix" with differing meanings. Biology In biology, the word matrix is used for the material between animal or plant cells, or generally the material (or "tissue") in which more specialized structures are embedded, and also specifically for one part of the mitochondrion. The internal structure of connective tissues is a extracellular matrix.

In Mémoire sur la résolution des équations (1771) he reported on symmetric functions and solution of cyclotomic polynomials; this paper anticipated later Galois theory . In Remarques sur des problèmes de situation (1771) he studied knight's tours.

Alexandre-Theophile Vandermonde's father was a medical doctor who was originally from Landrices but had spent 12 years in the Orient. He had set up a medical practice in Paris and was working there as a doctor when his son Alexandre-Théophile was born. He did not encourage his son to follow a medical profession but rather encouraged him to take up a career in music. Certainly he was not interested in mathematics when he was young. Alexandre-Théophile was awarded his bachelier on 7 September 1755 and his licencie on 7 September 1757. femme de Monge. In 1778 Vandermonde presented the first of a two part work on the theory of music to the Académie des Sciences. The second part was presented two years later. This work Système d'harmonie applicable à l'état actuel de la musique did not propose a mathematical theory of music as one might have expected from someone who was an expert in both fields. On the contrary the aim of the work was to put forward the idea that musicians should ignore all theory of music and rely solely on their trained ears when judging music. As one might expect this proved a controversial work with musicians being sharply divided as to whether they agreed with Vandermonde or not. Despite the opposition of many musicians at first, the ideas put forward by Vandermonde gained favour over the years and by the beginning of the nineteenth century the Académie des Sciences had moved music from the mathematical area to the arts area. It is worth repeating that it is strange that a mathematician of the highest rank should have argued against music as a mathematical art, a position it had held since the days of ancient Greece.

The Zen of Magic Squares, Circles, and Stars: An Exhibition of Surprising Structures Across Dimensions Clifford A. Pickover Princeton University Press, 2002 "A refreshing new look at a timeless topic, brimming over with ideas, littered with surprising twists. Anyone who loves numbers, anyone who enjoys puzzles, will find The Zen of Magic Squares, Circles, and Stars compulsive (and compulsory!) reading." Ian Stewart, University of Warwick Order from Amazon.com. "At first glance magic squares may seem frivolous (Ben Franklin's opinion, even as he spent countless hours studying them!), but I think that is wrong. The great nineteenth-century German mathematician Leopold Kronecker said 'God Himself made the whole numberseverything else is the work of men,' and Cliff Pickover's stimulating book hints strongly at the possibility that God may have done more with the integers than just create them. I don't believe in magic in the physical world, but magic squares come as close as we will probably ever see to being mathematical magic." - Paul J. Nahin, University of New Hampshire, author of Duelling Idiots and Other Probability Puzzlers

Vandermonde matrix From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In linear algebra , a Vandermonde matrix is a matrix with a geometric progression in each column, i.e; Vandermonde matrices are named after Alexandre-Théophile Vandermonde In mathematical terms: These matrices are useful in polynomial interpolation , since solving an equation V a b for a , is equivalent to finding the coefficients a i - of a polynomial that has values b i i The determinant of an Vandermonde matrix can be expressed as follows: The matrix V has maximum rank n i i are equal, the corresponding polynomial interpolation problem is ill-posed. In that case one may use a generalisation called confluent Vandermonde matrices, where the k -multiple columns are replaced by: where See also: Lagrange polynomial Views Article Discussion Edit History Personal tools Log in Navigation Main Page Community portal Current events Recent changes ...
