   Extractions: John Farey has been included in this archive despite being a geologist and not a mathematician. The reason we have included him is that he made one mathematical observation and, from this, the Farey series of fractions has been named. We shall discuss below Farey's contribution to mathematics and also look at others who contributed to Farey series. Farey attended a local school in Woburn until he was sixteen years of age when he went to a school in Halifax, Yorkshire, where he studied mathematics, drawing and surveying. He married in 1790 and, the following year, his first son (also called John Farey) was born. John Farey Jnr (1791-1851) went on to become a civil engineer and also has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography immediately following that of his father. Francis, the fifth Duke of Bedford had extensive estates in Bedfordshire and, in 1792, he appointed Farey as the land steward for his Woburn estates. Farey held this post for ten years and it was during this time that he was able to gain expertise in geology. In October 1801 William Smith, the engineer and geologist who is best known for his development of the science of stratigraphy (which is the study of rock successions and relation to the historical time scale), was employed by the Duke of Bedford. Farey had already become interested in soils and rocks through carrying out his duties as land steward and he now took the opportunity to learn all that he could from Smith about stratification. When the Duke died suddenly in 1802, the Duke's brother John dismissed Farey from his post. At this point Farey went to London where he [4]:-

    Extractions: Recommend this site Mathematical theorems often have descriptive names like Isoperimetric Inequality or the Law of Cosines . Others bear the name of their discoverer: Euler's Formula Abelian group , or Bertrand's Paradox . However, it is a recorded part of the mathematical folklore that many theorems are misnamed [ K. O. May If Theorem X bears the name of Y, then it was probably first stated by and/or proved by Z. For example, not all mathematicians are happy with the customary attribution of Venn Diagrams to John Venn. Wilson's theorem was not proven by Wilson (1741-1793) but by J.L.Lagrange in 1770 and Stirling's formula was discovered by Abraham de Moivre. So I was not at all surprised to read in Hardy's Apology (p 81-82) the following remark concerning J. Farey of the Farey Series fame: ... Farey is immortal because he failed to understand a theorem which Haros had proved perfectly fourteen years before ... In Hardy and Wright (p 36) there appears another note The history of 'Farey series' is very curious. Theorems 28 and 29 (

    Extractions: F irst called Wide Hole the band began when Mario Cipollina, Bill Gibson and John Farey were all in high school. Sound Hole , named for the hole in a guitar, really pulled together when Dan Shallack, the bands first leader, was murdered with his parents by a psychotic in Mill Valley. They picked up gifted guitarist Brian Marnell and success on the local club scene was theirs. Besides, John Farey's father, Everett Farey, once played with the Bay City Jazz Band which recorded a couple of albums in 1956-1957. In the early 70s Sound Hole became Van Morrison's back-up band. A friend of John Farey who had been painting some covers for Van Morrison introduced the band to Van. Months later Van called the band and Sound Hole went on the road with him, backing him up for several months. One of Sound Hole's concerts with Van Morrison - July 29, 1974 at The Orphanage, San Francisco, CA, was even televised on PBS. A video tape of this show was used in 1995 to produce and release the bootleg CD "Live at the Orphanage". After those S.F. shows they toured the midwest with Greg Douglass on guitar - as a replacement for Sound Hole's original guitarist.

    http://www.bay-area-bands.com/bab00044.htm
    
    Extractions: Zero: Greg Anton, Steve Kimock, John Farey, Bobby Vega, Martin Fierro, John Cipollina Zero was founded by Steve Kimock and Greg Anton in 1980 in Marin County. Their music being a mixture of jazz, rock and blues - free flowing. Soon they were joined by other Bay Area musicians from the psychedelic caravan, sharing the same spirit: John Cipollina, John Kahn, Banana, Martin Fierro, Bobby Vega, John Farey and Steve Wolf. It's not the vocals that define Zero's music - it's never ending instrumentals - a mental journey if you will. Never chaos though - a well organised trip of musicans who know how to blend their own ways of playing into one way. All being equal and sharing a high quality approach when it comes to recording and playing live - a common goal. The Zero Point! Due to this high quality their first two albums, "Here Goes Nothin'" and "Nothin' Goes Here" were even (re-)released by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (Original Master Recordings). Simply because the company's high quality approach and Zero's musical output matched. Nevertheless the albums disappeared way to early from the MFSL catalogue and thus became rare collector items. John Cipollina was a constant member of Zero until his death in 1989. His rhythm guitar playing can be heard on the first three Zero albums. Steve Kimock has always been the lead guitar player and although he is so talented, he is following Cipollina in not getting the recognition he deserves. Another unsung guitar hero. Even Jerry Garcia mentioned Kimock as one of his favorite guitar players, subsequently Zero always had many fans from the Deadhead scene.
