   Extractions: George Airy 's father was William Airy while his mother was Ann Biddell. William Airy was from Lincolnshire and Ann was the daughter of a farmer from Suffolk. Originally William had been a farmer too, but he had educated himself and risen to the position of tax inspector. When George was born his parents were living in Northumberland where William was a collector of excise, but in the following year the family moved to Hereford when William was transferred there. George attended Byatt Walker's school in Colchester and at the age of ten he took first place at the end of his primary school career. He had learnt some useful skills at the school such as arithmetic, double-entry book keeping and how to use a slide rule. He had probably learned more, however, from studying his father's books. He wrote in his autobiography that (see [3]):- ... he was not a favourite with his school mates. Eggen writes [1]:- An introverted but not shy child, Airy was, even for the time and especially for his circumstances, a young snob. Nevertheless, he overcame some of the dislike of his schoolmates by his great skill and inventiveness in the construction of peashooters and other such devices.

   Extractions: Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page George Airy was educated at Cambridge where he was Senior Wrangler (the top First Class student) in 1823. Only three years after graduating from Cambridge, he was appointed Lucasian Professor at Cambridge. In 1828 Airy was appointed Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge and Director of the Cambridge Observatory. He was Astronomer Royal from 1835 until 1881. Airy wrote the text On the Algebraic and Numerical Theory of Errors of Observations and the Combinations of Observations. Although said at the time to be unreadable except by those already thoroughly acquainted with the subject, the book was used at Cambridge and influenced Pearson Airy's delay, in 1845, of searching for Neptune at the location suggested by Adams prevented Adams obtaining full credit for his work although in many ways he has been unfairly criticised over this episode. Airy made many major contributions to mathematics and astronomy. He improved the orbital theory of Venus and the Moon, studied interference fringes in optics, made a mathematical study of the rainbow and computed the density of the Earth by swinging a pendulum at the top and bottom of a deep mine. Airy was made chairman of the Commission set up to construct Standard Weights and Measures in 1834. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1836 giving the Bakerian lecture to the Society entitled

Observatorij Greenwich je pod njegovim vodstvom postal vodilni observatorij tistega časa. Delal je na področju astronomije in optike. Ukvarjal se je z analizami gibanja planetov , z načrtovanjem novih inštrumentov, z izboljšavami optičnih sestavov v astronomskih inštrumentih, z nebesno mehaniko gravitacijo , zemeljskim magnetnim poljem . Izboljšal je metode praktične astronomije. Znane so Airyjeve astronomske meritve s pomočjo daljnogleda , ki je napolnjen z vodo ( ). S tem problemom se je ukvarjal tudi Bošković ). Airy je bil prvi, ki je predlagal da skozi observatorij Greenwich položijo ničti poldnevnik (meridian) naše Zemlje. Razvil je teorijo o zgradbi Zemlje, po kateri plavajo trdne celinske plošče na tekoči sredici. Slika točkastega svetila, ki nastane v gorišču leče ali zrcala, se imenuje po njem, Airyjev disk.

    Extractions: Airy was born in Alnwick, Northumberland, and studied mathematics at Cambridge, where he became professor of mathematics 1826 and of astronomy 1828. As director of the Cambridge Observatory, he introduced a much improved system of meridian observations and set the example of reducing them in scale before publishing them. As Astronomer Royal, in 1847 he had erected the alt-azimuth (an instrument he devised to calculate altitude and azimuth) for observing the Moon in every part of the sky. Other innovations included photographic registration in 1848, transits timed by electricity in 1854, spectroscopic observations from 1868, and a daily round of sunspots using the Kew heliograph in 1873. Airy's mathematical skills were used in establishing the border between Canada and the USA and the boundaries of the states of Oregon and Maine. His scientific expertise was also called on during the launch of the steamship Great Eastern, the laying of the transatlantic telegraph cable, and the construction of the chimes of the clock in the tower of the Houses of Parliament ('Big Ben'). His Mathematical Tracts on Physical Astronomy 1826 became a standard work.
