Introduction To Algebra: History

Extractions: where x and y can be any number. Algebra has been studied for many centuries. Babylonian, and ancient Chinese and Egyptian mathematicians proposed and solved problems in words, that is, using "rhetorical algebra". However, it was not until the 3rd century that algebraic problems began to be considered in a form similar to those studied today. In the 3rd century, the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria wrote his book Arithmetica . Of the 13 parts originally written, only six still survive, but they provide the earliest record of an attempt to use symbols to represent unknown quantities. Diophantus did not consider general methods in Arithmetica , but instead solved a large number of practical problems.

Logarithm
were mathematical so they must be able to be disclosed through reason. He regardedthis work as so important that it was his only work written in english.
http://www.thocp.net/sciences/mathematics/logarithm_hist.htm

Extractions: Logarithms are a shortcut for Exponents: 10^2 = 100 The present definition of the logarithm is the exponent or power to which a stated number, called the base, is raised to yield a specific number. The logarithm of 100 to the base 10 is 2 This is written: log 10 100 = 2 Many people throughout time have been accredited with the production and development of logarithms. However, there is one man who is responsible for the invention of the logarithm. That man is the Scotsman, John Napier . Napier is placed within a short lineage of mathematical thinkers beginning with Archimedes and more recent geniuses, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein. Short bio of John Napier Napier not only "invented" logarithms, he had many other achievements in his lifetime. Among these accomplishments were revolutionary methods for tilling and fertilizing soil and a number of "Secret Inventions" to defend his country from Philip of Spain. These inventions include the round chariot with firepower and heavy protection (the idea behind the tank); an underwater ship (the submarine); and an artillery piece which would mow down a field of soldiers (the machine gun). It is rumored that while testing his machine gun, he took out an entire flock of sheep in a pasture outside of his estate. After witnessing the destructive power his invention possessed, he swore never to make another gun or give the information on how to make one to anyone.

The stage was set for the remarkable strides of the next century.

English Summaries Of Mathematical Proofs

http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/bundy/projects/97-98/plan-description.html

Extractions: English Summaries of Mathematical Proofs Supervisor: Alan Bundy, 502716, bundy@dai Subject Areas: Automated Reasoning/Theorem Proving, Project Suitable for the Following Degrees: MSC in AI, AI-CS4, AI-Math4, AI-Psych4, Principal goal of the project: Build a system which summarises mathematical proofs in English. The system will use proof planning to construct the summaries. Description: When mathematicians explain proofs to each other they can draw on a shared language of common proof patterns. This enables them to summarise the proof using only the overall shape and the departures from the standard patterns. Most automated reasoning systems do not support such ways of explaining proofs. Normally, it is only possible to explain the proof in terms of the lowest level logical steps. This leads to long, detailed and hard to understand explanations. The proof planning technique should be adaptable to provide the kind of proof summaries described above. A proof plan is the computational representation of a common pattern of proof. Proof plans have been used by our Clam planner to guide the search for a proof, mainly in the domain of mathematical induction. Critics analyse any failure to apply a proof plan to a conjecture and suggest patches. It seems possible to exploit this by explaining a proof in terms of (a) the underlying proof plan and (b) any departures from it. Typical proof summaries might be:

Hollerith machines were installed in 1944 as the basis for a Computing Laboratory, which was under the direction of R.A. Fairthorne. A Mathematical Services Department was soon set up, and by taking on outside work it became a wellknown and influential computing centre in the late 1940s and early 1950s. (Mary Croarken) NAHC/RAE

http://www.math.bas.bg/~smb/about.html

Extractions: This Page in Bulgarian(íà Áúëãàðñêè) The Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians (UBM) is a voluntary, creative, non-political organisation whose purpose is to bring together people who are interested in Mathematics and Computer science or are involved in activities related to those fields. The UBM is self-funded and receives no bounty either from the state or from any social institutions. The birthdate of the UBM is February 14-th, 1898 when a group of enthusiastic lecturers from the Department of Mathematics at the Higher School, teachers from the two High schools in Sofia at that time and the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Education founded, under the leadership of Prof. Emanuil Ivanov, the Physical and Mathematical Society (PMS), a forerunner of the UBM. This happened several months after the First International Congress of Mathematics (Zurich, August 1897). Thus the UBM is only a few years younger than the renowned Gottingen Mathematical Society instituted by F. Klein and H. Weber in 1892. Generations of mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists are deeply indebted to their patriotic precursors for the alliance which was founded as early as the late 19th century and has been bearing fruit for 100 years. In the last 30 years the number of the sections of the UBM has been growing swiftly, eventually reaching 71. With a fervour characteristic of the Renaissance the members of the UBM recruit new sympathisers, broaden and diversify their activity. In 1998, the year of its anniversary, the UBM has about 5000 members - teachers in Mathematics and Computer science, University lecturers, scholars and specialists from all parts of the country. In its 100 years of existence the UBM has been chaired by internationally renowned scholars and established social figures. Among its presidents are Dr. Ivan Salabashev, Prof. Emanuil Ivanov, Dr. Stefan Lafchiev (for more than 30 years), Acad. Georgi Nadzhakov, Acad. Bojan Petkanchin, Assoc. Prof. Petko Ivanov, Prof. Alipi Mateev, Acad. Ljubomir Iliev (now Honorary President of the UMB), Assoc. Prof. Ljubomir Davidov, Assoc. Prof. Chavdar Lozanov (President at the time of writing).

SRINIVASA RAMANUJAN
It was in no sense a mathematical classic; rather, it was written as an aid to coachingEnglish mathematics students facing the notoriously difficult Tripos
http://www.usna.edu/Users/math/meh/ramanujan.html

Extractions: It is one of the most romantic stories in the history of mathematics: in 1913, the English mathematician G. H. Hardy received a strange letter from an unknown clerk in Madras, India. The ten-page letter contained about 120 statements of theorems on infinite series, improper integrals, continued fractions, and number theory (Here is a .dvi file with a sample of these results). Every prominent mathematician gets letters from cranks, and at first glance Hardy no doubt put this letter in that class. But something about the formulas made him take a second look, and show it to his collaborator J. E. Littlewood. After a few hours, they concluded that the results "must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them". Thus was Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) introduced to the mathematical world. Born in South India, Ramanujan was a promising student, winning academic prizes in high school. But at age 16 his life took a decisive turn after he obtained a book titled A Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure and Applied Mathematics . The book was simply a compilation of thousands of mathematical results, most set down with little or no indication of proof. It was in no sense a mathematical classic; rather, it was written as an aid to coaching English mathematics students facing the notoriously difficult Tripos examination, which involved a great deal of wholesale memorization. But in Ramanujan it inspired a burst of feverish mathematical activity, as he worked through the book's results and beyond. Unfortunately, his total immersion in mathematics was disastrous for Ramanujan's academic career: ignoring all his other subjects, he repeatedly failed his college exams.
