http://www.museo.unimo.it/labmat/usa1.htm

Extractions: In the Mathematical Laboratory of the University Museum of Natural History and Scientific Instruments there are about 160 mathematical machines built by teachers of Liceo A.Tassoni in the scope of an innovation project for the teaching of geometry developed by the Nucleo di Ricerca in Storia e Didattica della Matematica (University of Modena) . The project , coordinated by prof. Mariolina Bartolini Bussi ( bartolini@unimo.it ) has produced mathematical machines, didactical itineraries, animation films and simulations by computer. With these teaching aids we introduce a historical dimension and a manipulative and visual one in our classrooms. Our didactical research purpose is the historical contextualization of problems, of theories and of methods.Many "machines" realize projects or ideas of mathematicians, from the Ancient Greek up to now. For the use of these "machines" in the classroom, students have to elaborate abstract themes and proofs. Classroom activities have been developed on curricular themes using machines and also some seminars have been organized with teachers of different schools . Two exibitions were organized , in Modena in 1992 and in Torino in 1996. We are collaborating with Vierkant Foundation -Amsterdam (http://www.cs.vu.nl./~vierkant/) and with the group Cabri-Geometre of Grenoble (http//www-cabri.imag.fr/). The research project on Mathematical Machines had been financed by the Municipality of Modena, by CNR, by MURST and by University of Modena.

http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/ladd.htm

Extractions: December 1, 1847 - March 5, 1930 Christine Ladd was born in Windsor, Connecticut on December 1, 1847. After schooling at Wesleyan Academy in Massachussetts for two years, she entered Vassar College in 1866, but dropped out after one year because of financial difficulties. During the following year she did some teaching and continued her studies in trigonometry, biology, and languages on her own. Her interests in languages allowed her to translate Schiller's "Des Madchens Klage" into English, which was then published in the Hartford local newspaper. In the fall of 1868 Ladd returned to Vassar, graduating a year later. It was only after she left college that Ladd began her serious study of mathematics. She published solutions to mathematical problems in the Educational Times of London and the American journal The Analyst , and even studied mathematics at Harvard with W. E. Byerly and James Mills Peirce. With the support of the English mathematician J.J. Sylvester, Ladd was allowed to attend graduate courses in mathematics at Johns Hopkins University despite the fact that the university was not open to women. At Johns Hopkins she developed her interest in symbolic logic, writing a dissertation on "The Algebra of Logic" and publishing several more articles in The Analyst . However, Johns Hopkins did not allow women to receive the Ph.D. degree, so Ladd left the school in 1882 without that official recognition.

http://www.didyouknow.cd/decimal.htm

Extractions: Did you know? The mathematical decimal system was introduced in 4BC On 23 September 1999 NASA scientists lost the $100 million Mars Climate Orbiter because they instructed the craft in imperial (inches and feet) instead of metric (metres) measurements. It sent the probe, which was set up for metric data, off course and burning up in the Mars atmosphere. The first decimal system was introduced in the 4th Century BC by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, to whom the invention of writing is credited. They based their numerical system on powers of 60 subdivided into multiples of 10. It was from this system that Sumero-Babylonians developed the time system that we use today: each hour is divided into 60 minutes, which are divided into 60 seconds. However, they did not have a symbol for zero, which was introduced by Arabians only toward the end of the first millennium BC. It is thought that the zero could have been devised by Indian Hindu mathematicians because the concept of nothing was important in their early religion and philosophy.

Extractions: THE JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL BEHAVIOR Volume 18, Number 1,1999 This article is one of a matched pair in French and English resulting from a three-way collaboration between Guy Brousseau, Nadine Brousseau and Virginia Warfield. It was launched by the desire of the latter to make available to the English-speaking community an article written by Guy Brousseau in 1981. The resulting discussions produced so many modifications and clarifications that the three undertook to make the improved version available also in French. The process provided splendid evidence that differences in linguistic and cultural perspective can be a source of considerable intellectual enrichment. One of the most widely known articles in the "gray literature" of the field of Didactique is the " " (the Case of Gaël), by Guy Brousseau, which originally appeared in 1981. It is the which, modified, clarified and translated, is the main content of the current article. In order to explain its importance, we will start with the background of the article, and of its author.

Extractions: Japanese Site Map Department of Math. Hokkaido Univ. Hokkaido Mathematical Journal, one of the world-leading mathematical academic journals available in English, is published by the Department of Mathematics, Hokkaido University. The journal grew out of Series I, Mathematics, originally published from 1930 to 1972 as part of the Journal of Faculty of Science, Hokkaido University. In 1972, we started our own publication-what is now known as Hokkaido Mathematics Journal. Our department publishes the journal three times a year, with an annual volume comprising a total of nearly 600 pages. Each volume contains about 40 excellent research papers by mathematicians without regard to their fields, nationalities, or affiliations. For the past three years, an average of some 85 papers have been contributed to our journal annually. More than half of them were from contributors in some 20 different countries. In principle, all contributions are refereed and the final decisions are made based on the reports from the referees. The journal is available at about 200 libraries and research institutions in Japan and 400 universities and institutions abroad.

Extractions: CLIFFORD, WILLIAM KINGDON His works, published wholly or in part since his death, are Elements of Dynamic (1879-1887); Seeing and Thinking, popular science lectures (1879); Lectures and Essays, with an introduction by Sir F. Pollock (1879); Mathematical Papers, edited by R. Tucker, with an introduction by Henry J. S. Smith (1882); and The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences, completed by Professor Karl Pearson (1885). CLIFFORD OF CHUDLEIGH, THOMAS CLIFFORD, 1ST BARON (1630-1673), English lord treasurer, a member of the ancient family of Clifford, descended from Walter de Clifford of Clifford Castle in Herefordshire, was the son of Hugh Clifford of Ugbrook near Exeter, and of Mary, daughter of Sir George Chudleigh of Ashton, Devonshire. He was born on the 1st of August 1630, matriculated in 1647 at Exeter College, Oxford, where lie showed distinguished ability, supplicated for the B.A. degree in 1650, and entered the Middle Temple in 1648. He represented Totnes in the convention parliament and in that of 1661; and he joined the faction of young men who spoke confidently and often, and who sought to rise to power by attacking Clarendon. The chancellor, according to Burnet, had repulsed his advances on account of his Romanism, and Clifford accordingly offered his services to Arlington, whose steady supporter he now became.
