FRANCOIS VIETE
francouzský aritmetik a algebraik Vlastnì to nebyl pouze velký aritmetik a algebraik, ale také geometr a pøedevším velký právník a advokát. To bylo totiž jeho vlastní zamìstnání: byl èinný v rùzných státních úøadech a rozluštil mj. tajný španìlský kódovací klíè, který obsahoval 500 rùzných znaèek. Jelikož tehdy Francouzi se Španìly válèili, bylo to pro nì nesmírnì užiteèné. Nakonec to díky svým schopnostem a nìkolikanásobnou zmìnou náboženského pøesvìdèení dotáhl až na tajného radu francouzského krále. Roku 1591 vydal Úvod do analytického umìní, v nìmž jasnì vysvìtluje svùj princip homogennosti. Tento princip ve skuteènosti znamená, že mùžeme navzájem srovnávat jen velièiny stejného druhu, tedy napøíklad úseèky s úseèkami a jablka s jablky. Viétovi musíme také pøiznat zásluhu na tom, že pøesnì oddìlil aritmetiku, tj. konkrétní poèet tedy poèítání s èísli, od poèítání pomocí písmen. ZPÌT

Srðan V. Tešin: Kazimir i drugi naslovi Tekst, kog je Kazimir potpuno slucajno pronašao ispod hrbata, na rikni, glasi: "(...) zak... (...) (mo)ogao je posve neopažen promaknuti, kada clanovi (...)da polaze u refektorij i kad je op(azio), da su svi a (t)ako i rektor otišli, izšuljao se iz (s)voga zatvora i stru(g)nuo u prvi kat, gdje je krivim k(lj)ucem otvorio vrata (so)be rektorove, a za tim iz pisacega (n)jegova stola pobrao gorespomenutu znatnu svotu od 65 (sledece dve cifre se ne vide, prim.aut.) kruna i 7 (sledeca cifra se ne vidi, prim.aut.) filira (...)" refektorijum (nl. refectorium) je dvorana za rucavanje, trpezarija (u katolickim manastirima). Kazimira je više zanimao slucajno otkriveni tekst iz, najverovatnije, lokalnih novina koje su se štampale u istoj štampariji gde je i Kucera štampao svoju knjigu. Imao je nameru da napiše fantasticni roman o otkricu tog novinskog teksta unutar korica knjige, koju je na citanje dobio od profesora Maxa Oscara, pa je cak i poglavljima dao naslove: bilo ih je devet, ali je od pisanja odustao. Kakav bi to samo bio roman! Objava teksta, u pravom smislu reci objava. Povezao bi kradljivca novca i orobljenog rektora sa Kucerom, a sve njih sa Kopernikom, Getaldicem i Vijetom. Kradljivac novca bi se umešao i u pišcev život. Stari majstori štamparstva objašnjavali bi nacin na koji se pravi rikna. Bilo bi tu i ozbiljnih astronomskih studija, Kazimirovog autenticnog doprinosa toj nauci. Od svega toga ostade tek havajska gitara da svira "Moonlight In Honolulu" - kao lament nad nenapisanim romanom.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality French
This entry contributed by Margherita Barile A non-professional French mathematician, also known under the latinized name of Vieta, who disclosed the way to modern symbolic algebra. He had a very brilliant legal career starting in his hometown Fontenay-le-Comte as the private lawyer of a noble family, and ended up as a personal counselor of King Henri III. His first mathematical works were two books of trigonometric tables ( Canon Mathematicus , and Universalium Inspectionum Liber Singularis , 1579) where the values of sines were computed with a (startling) accuracy of 10 Viète's major contribution is his innovative treatment of algebraic equations. He initiated the systematical use of letters to denote both the coefficients and the unknowns: this was the beginning of a new type of algebra, expressed in terms of abstract formulas and general rules, instead of the geometric visualizations, the text problems and the numerical examples used by his predecessors back since antiquity. He, however, payed some sort of tribute to the ancient tradition by refusing negative solutions, by sticking to the use of words to denote powers (the exponents would be introduced by Descartes one generation later), and by keeping a terminology inspired by areas and volumes ("plane" and "solid" for the product of two or three numbers respectively). His treatise Isagoge in Artem Analyticem (1591) is a presentation of his mathematical project. There he introduces the basic notation and gives the rules for the product of powers and the equivalent transformation of equations in a way that calls to mind the first pages of Diophantus'

    Viete is not regarded as having a direct role in fluid mechanics but is included because he is my son's favorite mathematician. Viete was the first to represent mathematical quantities by letters and introduced the plus (+) and minus (-) symbols. He derived a formula for p in the form of an infinite product. His substitution method for the solution of polynomials still goes by his name. Finally, he was the first to describe the law of cosines and developed multiple angle formulas. The latter were used in his famous product for 2/ p To learn more about Viete click on his picture at the above right or return to the History Link page.

    Viète's father, Etienne Viète, was an attorney in Fontenay and a notary in Le Busseau. He was also a procureur du roi in Fontenay. Viète's grandfather was a merchant in the village of Foussay in Lower Poitou. Viète's mother was the first cousin to Barnabé Brisson, President of the Parlement de Paris under the League.
    All the evidence places the Viète family among the most distinguished in Fontenary. At least by the age of twenty, Viète was Sieur de la Bigotière. His two brothers both had distinguished positions. I do not see how to avoid the conclusion that the family was wealthy.

    In addition to this the discussions announced in the opening speech, regarding measures for the reformation of the Church and the protection of her liberties, took place; and a part of the Constitutions found in the Clementinum, published in 1317 by John XXII., were probably enacted by the council. Still it is impossible to say with certainty what decrees were actually passed at Vienne. Additional decisions were necessitated by the violent disputes which raged within the Franciscan order as to the observance of the rules of St Francis of Assisi, and by the multitude of subordinate questions arising from this. Resolutions were also adopted on the Beguines and their mode of life (see BEGUINES), the control of the hospitals, the institution of instructors in Hebrew, Arabic and Chaldaic at the universities, and on numerous details of ecclesiastical discipline and law.

    Viète, François (15401603) Viète was a native of the city of Fontenay, France. He studied law at the University at Poitiers. He spent much of his time studying mathematics and cryptography, while he maintained a successful law practice. Later he applied basic trigonometry to astronomy and wrote Harmonicum coeleste and in 1579 published Canon mathematicus seu ad triangula Later, he concentrated his efforts on algebra and geometry. He published In artem analytic e m isagoge in 1591 and Supplementum geometriae in 1593. These works first introduced symbolic algebraic notation and techniques to trisect angles. He simplified the notation of algebra and was among the first to use letters to represent numbers. After Viète's death, his work De aquation u m recognitione et eme n datione was published. It contained a theory of equations, including solution methods for second, third, and fourth degree polynomials and the introduction of the terms negative and coefficient Major theorem: Law of cosines Major publications: Harmonicum coeleste;
