   Extractions: William Rowan Hamilton If ever there was a child prodigy, Hamilton was it. He grew up with his uncle who was a bit of an eccentric; for instance, he tied a string around young William's toe at night, ran it through a hole in the wall into his own bedroom, and then early each morning he would tug on the string to wake him and start him on his studies. By the age of 12, William was fluent in 10 languages and was appointed to a Mathematics Chair at the Royal Observatory in Dublin at a youthful age. One of Hamilton's successes was in proving that Newton's Equations and Lagrangian Mechanics were equivalent when the Lagrangian was the difference between the kinetic and potential enrgy of a system. Up to that time there were arguments over which was correct. He showed that they were different manifestations of the same thing. Perhaps Hamilton's most important contribution came from his reformulation of Newton's Laws. In the same way that Lagrange provided a new method for solving mechanical problems, Hamilton put forward still another formalism. He showed that the results were equivalent in the three methods, but his proves to be most useful for a certain class of problems. Even today, Hamiltonian Mechanics is used commerically to determine orbital trajectories of satellites. Author: Dan Thomas email:

11. William Hamilton [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]
    Brief article from the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, covering this Scottish scholar's life and views.  
    http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/h/hamilton.htm
    
    Extractions: Life and Writings Edinburgh Review in 1829. In 1836 he was elected to the chair of logic and metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh, and held the position till his death. In 1843 he contributed to the lively ecclesiastical controversy of the time by publishing a pamphlet against the principle of non-intrusion. He was answered by William Cunningham. In July, 1844, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, which made him practically an invalid for the rest of his life. Hamilton's principal works are: Discussions on Philosophy and Literature, Education and University Reform (London, 1852), containing his articles published in the Edinburgh Review Notes and Dissertations , published with his edition of T. Reid's Works (2 vols., Edinburgh, 1846-63); and his Lectures on Metaphysics and Logic (ed. H. L. Mansel and J. Veitch, 4 vols., 1859-60), of which an abridgment of the metaphysical portion (vols. i. and ii.) was edited by F. Bowen (Boston, 1870). Back to Table of Contents Philosophy Views Hamilton was an exponent of the Scottish common-sense philosophy and a conspicuous defender and expounder of Thomas Reid, though under the influence of Kant he went beyond the traditions of the common-sense school, combining with a naive realism a theory of the relativity of knowledge. His psychology, while marking an advance on the work of Reid and Stewart, was of the " faculty " variety and has now been largely superseded by other views. His contribution to logic was the now well-known theory of the quantification of the predicate, by which he became the forerunner of the present algebraic school of logicians.

    Extractions: William Rowan Hamilton 's father, Archibald Hamilton, did not have time to teach William as he was often away in England pursuing legal business. Archibald Hamilton had not had a university education and it is thought that Hamilton's genius came from his mother, Sarah Hutton. By the age of five, William had already learned Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. He was taught these subjects by his uncle, the Rev James Hamilton, who William lived with in Trim for many years. James was a fine teacher. William soon mastered additional languages but a turning point came in his life at the age of 12 when he met the American Zerah Colburn. Colburn could perform amazing mental arithmetical feats and Hamilton joined in competitions of arithmetical ability with him. It appears that losing to Colburn sparked Hamilton's interest in mathematics. Hamilton's introduction to mathematics came at the age of 13 when he studied Clairaut 's Algebra

    Extractions: Irish mathematician who was born at midnight on August 3/4, 1805, so there is some confusion over his birthdate. As a child, his linguist uncle James taught him 14 languages (Bell 1986, p. 341). Hamilton taught himself mathematics at age 17, and discovered an error in Laplace's Celestial Mechanics. He predicted conical refraction in biaxial crystals, which was soon experimentally observed by Lloyd. Hamilton also extended the least action principle described earlier by Maupertuis Hamilton developed the mathematical theory of quaternions which is an anticommutative algebra. Anticommutative algebra was later found to have important applications to quantum mechanics The idea for quaternions occurred to Hamilton while be was walking along the Royal Canal on his way to a meeting of the Irish Academy, and was so pleased with his discovery that he scratched the fundamental formula of quaternion algebra,

Hamilton was one of the first in a series of British logicians to create the algebra of logic and introduced the 'quantification of the predicate'. Boole De Morgan and Venn followed him. However Hamilton helped begin this development and his work, although not of great depth, influenced Boole to produce a much more sophisticated system.

19. On A General Method Of Expressing The Paths Of Light, And Of The Planets, By The
    An original paper by william Rowan hamilton, dated 1833.

    Extractions: Vol. I, 1833, pp. 795-826.] By such steps, then, it has become an established theorem, fundamental in optical science, that the communication, whether between an illuminating body and a body illuminated, or between an object seen and a beholding eye, is effected by the gradual but very rapid passage of some thing, or influence, or state, called light, from the luminous or visible body, along mathematical or physical lines, usually called rays , and found to be, under the most common circumstances, exactly or nearly straight. Another early and important observation, was that of the broken or refracted lines of communication, between an object in water and an eye in air, and generally between a point in one ordinary medium and a point in another. A valuable series of experiments on such refraction was made and recorded by Ptolemy; but it was not till long afterwards that the law was discovered by Snellius. He found that if two lengths, in a certain ratio or proportion determined by the natures of the two media, be measured, from the point of breaking, or of bending, on the refracted ray and on the incident ray prolonged, these lengths have one common projection on the refracting surface, or on its tangent plane. This law of ordinary refraction has since been improved by Newton's discovery of the different refrangibility of the differently coloured rays; and has been applied to explain and to calculate the apparent elevation of the stars, produced by the atmosphere of the earth.
