Extractions: This norseman founded a settlement on the bank of the river Avon probably where there was shallow water to allow crossing, or at a narrow point where fallen trees could span the water. An area of water meadow would be required to feed the animals, and the enclosure would also be close to a ready supply of wood to be used for fuel and making shelters.

Extractions: Hobbes , whose influence was considerable, and there met Mersenne, John Pell , the Marquess of Newcastle and Sir Charles Cavendish . Back in England in 1646 he worked in his fathers business on the mechanical aspects of textile manufacture. He met Samuel Hartlib , under whose guidance he wrote a tract on education (1647). In it he proposed the formation of a society for the advancement of mechanical arts and manufactures which helped to stimulate the founding of the Royal Society. He moved to Oxford to continue his medical studies and took a doctorate in physick in 1650. He was a member of John Wilkins scientific and philosophical group, a Fellow of Brasenose College, and later its Vice-Principal, Deputy, and then Professor of Anatomy (1651). He also taught chemistry at Oxford and was a Professor of Music at Gresham College. He was highly praised for his intelligence, learning, even genius, and for his eloquence, charm and good looks by

He gave a table of factors of all integers up to 100000 in 1668. Pell's equation y2 = ax2 + 1, where a is a non-square integer, was first studied by Brahmagupta and Bhaskara. Its complete theory was worked out by Lagrange, not Pell. William Brouncker It is believed that Euler made an error in naming the equation 'Pell's equation', and that he was intending to acknowledge the outstanding contribution made by Brouncker. It is interesting to think that if Euler had not made this error then Brouncker, instead of being relatively unknown as a mathematician, would be universally known through 'Brouncker's equation'.

Extractions: In 1606 the Lord President of Munster, Sir Henry Brouncker, obtained a commission to take action against the mayors of corporate towns who refused to take the Oath of Supremacy. The four Waterford mayors marked thus were elected in succession but having refused to take the oath were arrested and sent to Cork gaol. Heavy fines were also levied on them and they were made to pay the legal costs. Eventually Sir Peter Aylward took the oath and became the mayor. In 1612 King James ordered Lord Deputy Chichester to seize the liberties of any town left without magistrates. In 1616 the administration of Waterford was in chaos. Eight mayors marked thus had been elected and refused to take the oath. In the following year four more acted in similar fashion before the government acted. Chichester entered the city, seized the charters and dissolved the corporation. From then until the death of James in 1625 the city was administered by government appointees. Between 1651 and 1656 the corporation was dissolved by Cromwell's son-in-law, General Henry Ireton and the city was placed under military law and administered by commissioners.

Extractions: Encyclopedia science Science, in the modern sense of the term, came into being in the 16th and 17th cent., with the merging of the craft tradition with scientific theory and the evolution of the scientific method. The feeling of dissatisfaction with the older philosophical approach had begun much earlier and had produced other results, such as the Protestant Reformation, but the revolution in science began with the work of Copernicus, Paracelsus, Vesalius, and others in the 16th cent. and reached full flower in the 17th cent. Another important factor in the scientific revolution was the rise of learned societies and academies in various countries. The earliest of these were in Italy and Germany and were short-lived. More influential were the Royal Society in England (1660) and the Academy of Sciences in France (1666). The former was a private institution in London and included such scientists as Robert Hooke, John Wallis, William Brouncker, Thomas Sydenham, John Mayow, and Christopher Wren (who contributed not only to architecture but also to astronomy and anatomy); the latter, in Paris, was a government institution and included as a foreign member the Dutchman Huygens. In the 18th cent. important royal academies were established at Berlin (1700) and at St. Petersburg (1724). The societies and academies provided the principal opportunities for the publication and discussion of scientific results during and after the scientific revolution.

Leeuwenhoek And Spermatozoa 4. Leeuwenhoek to william brouncker, November 1677, ibid., II, 290291. 6. Leeuwenhoekto william brouncker, November 1677, in Leeuwenhoek,AdB, II, 284-291. http://zygote.swarthmore.edu/fert1a.html
Extractions: Adapted from an article by E. G. Ruestow, J. History of Biology Leeuwenhoek may have been the model for his friend, Vermeer, in Vermeer's picture, The Geographer. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, no scientific question was more laden with religious and philosophical overtones than the problem of generation. This was the question that asked if and how a mechanistic nature, devoid of spirit, could engender the purposeful complexity of living organisms, including man. It is not surprising, then, that the learned (and probably the unlearned) public expected much from the new microscopistsmen such as Marcello Malpighi, Jan Swammerdam, and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Leeuwenhoek's conclusions, made from observations with microscopes whose resolution was not bettered until the nineteenth century, unsettled a recently recast consensus. Moreover, it suggested that the microscope may not be the tool that would solve these longstanding problems. Leeuwenhoek's knowledge of the religious and philosophical debates among the learned communities was scanty at first, but expanded dramatically during the half-century of his microscopic research. A tradesman in Delft, he lacked any university education and knew no language other than Dutch. In 1673, however, Leeuwenhoek's fellow townsman, the prominent young anatomist Regnier de Graaf, brought him to the attention of the Royal Society in London as a maker of exceptional microscopes (1).

Extractions: Saint-Vincent was born at Ghent in 1584, became a Jesuit teacher practicing in Rome, Prague, and later in Spain. Europe was in turmoil at this time, and as a result of his uprootings, Saint-Vincent became separated from his papers. In them he had the keys to solving the quadrature of the hyperbola, and, he believed, the squaring of the circle as well. His method was correct in the former case, not so in the latter. Since the hyperbola is asymptotic and thus open-ended, we need to define other boundaries in order to have a finite area to measure. In addition to y = 1/x, we arbitrarily make those boundaries the x-axis, and the lines x = 1 and x = b, where b, now known as the upper limit of integration, can be any positive number. In his Geometrical Work on the Squaring of the Circle and of Conic Sections , published in 1647, some 25 years after his discovery, Saint-Vincent advanced the notion that if the upper limits were increased by a factor, that is, if they grew geometrically, the associated areas would grow arithmetically. See Figure 1. Specifically, the area under 1/x from x = 1 to x = b is the natural logarithm (in base e) of the number b. The appendix also shows how this base number can be established.

Extractions: These Were All Pleasure: The Founding of the Royal Society by Helen Stringer But it wasn't always so. There was a time, not all that long ago, when there were no "scientists," when science itself was being defined, and when men gathered, out of interest, at a local pub to talk about what we might now regard as "neat stuff." The time was 1645, the place London, and this casual group of men went on to found what is now the world's oldest scientific academy, The Royal Society. Ideas about how the natural world should be explored had been changing throughout the Rennaissance, of course. But most educated people still looked towards the classical authorities, particularly Aristotle, for the road map to discovery. Aristotle's system was based on deductive reasoning, you would look at a thing and deduce what led it to be so. The problem with this, is that this kind of reasoning is dependent on the experiences of the observer, which may or may not be focusing on the relevant issues. Also, simple observation can lead to false conclusions. For example, when looking at the circulation of blood, people had noticed that after death the most blood could be found in the liver, so they deduced that the liver must drive the circulation.
