    Extractions: ‘Tho’ a man were admitted into Heaven to view the wonderful Fabrick of the World, and the Beauty of the Stars, yet what would otherwise be Rapture and Extasie, would be but a melancholie Amazement if he had not a friend to communicate it to’. (From Cicero de Amicitia, in Christian Huygens, 'The Celestial Worlds Discovered' , London 1698, p.4) The Thomas Harriot Seminar The Seminar exists to study the life and times of Thomas Harriot (1560 – 1621). Harriot was a protégé of Sir Walter Raleigh and Henry Percy, ninth Earl of Northumberland. He knew John Dee and Richard Hakluyt, Christopher Marlowe and Tycho Brahe, Kepler and Galileo. He was polymath who studied the sciences, notably mathematics and navigation, he was a pioneering ethnographer and linguist, and he observed the heavens with a telescope at the same time as Galileo. Indeed, his friend the poet George Chapman called him “master of all essential knowledge and true knowledge”. Yet, apart from his short textbook on algebra, published posthumously as Artis analyticae praxis under the direction of his fellow-pensionee of Northumberland’s Walter Warner, his papers remain in manuscript.

    Extractions: The newsletter of the Thomas Harriot Seminar – October 2003 Shakespeare First Folio Oriel College have sold their copy of the first Folio to pay for building repairs and textbooks, to the late Sir Paul Getty through Maggs Brothers. The book was given to Oriel in 1786 by Lord Leigh, a former undergraduate who donated books and money to the college despite being a certified lunatic. Harriot’s Algebra Dr. Jackie Stedall has with a small grant from the Seminar published The Great Invention of Algebra (Oxford University Press, 2003 ) xii, 322 pp., hbk. Her book focuses on 140 of Harriot’s manuscript pages, namely those associated with the structure and solution of equations. A meticulous work, Dr. Stedall has carefully ordered, translated and annotated the first work on this subject and provided an introduction which sets the MSS. in context. There are illustrations of some of the MSS. and the appendix discusses correlations between the Harriot Mss. And the texts of Viète, Warner and Torporley. There is a comprehensive bibliography and a good index. The book will be an invaluable resource for Harrioteers, historians of science and historians of medicine. Dr. Stedall has made an outstanding contribution to Harriot literature.

    Extractions: Little is known of Thomas Harriot in his early years, except that his father was a commoner in the county of Oxford. He entered the University of Oxford when he was 17 years old. He completed his degree at St. Mary's Hall in 1580, then moved to London, where he was employed by Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1585, he joined Raleigh on an expedition to Virginia, in a position of staff scientist. Harriot was well-versed in navigational theories and worked as a cartographer. In 1586, he returned to England and wrote what would be his only published work, entitled "A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia." Harriot lived in Ireland for a few years, in a former abbey granted by Raleigh, before returned to London. In 1598, he joined the service of the ninth Earl of Northumberland, William Percy, who gave him living quarters west of London, in Syon House, and a pension. In 1605, he was arrested along with Northumberland, due to the Gunpowder Plot. Although Northumberland stayed in the Tower of London until 1622, Harriot was quickly released and returned to Syon House. There, he studied optics, discovered Snell's law of refraction (before Snell) and corresponded with Johannes Kepler. Harriot's broad range of study included significant contributions to algebra and astronomy. Between 1609 and 1613, he observed the heavens through telescopes, regarding what he saw. This included the first recorded telescopic drawing of the moon in early August 1609, several months before Galileo's moon studies. Harriot also made the first recorded observation of sunspots in December of 1610. Although he did not publish his findings, he shared them with correspondents. After his death of cancer in 1613, Harriot left several scientific manuscripts, which have slowly percolated into the mainstream of historical research over the past three centuries.

    Extractions: The Soft Logic of Thomas Harriot H. T. Goranson, Sirius-Beta tedg@infi.net Abstract Until recently, First Order Logic has suffered from an inadequate representation of the situation. This has imposed significant limitations in real-world modeling. We see that an early innovator in logic had this concept but it was dropped by successors because of notational complexity. We present a likely introspective notation of the early scholar, Harriot; we outline the Hermetic influence on this idea (of introspection); and provide a newly discovered interesting influence from the New World. Introduction The historical sequence of how mathematical ideas unfolded is almost never the best logical development for my own understanding. But sometimes the historic evolution itself provides significant insight into ideas. And sometimes parts of ideas are lost as they pass from one thinker to another. The Problem My own work is in logic-based modeling of collaborative enterprises . There is a long tradition of such representations in the industrial engineering community; in the past decade, such representations have been extended to all elements of the business enterprise for all sorts of valuable tasks. Enterprise integration, business process re-engineering and simulation are among the most common. The economic benefits of this application of logic are very strong, and the area is booming. Unfortunately, there are problems. . So already, it is possible to have a mathematically rigorous representation of a small domain in a complex enterprise.

Born in England and educated at Oxford, Thomas Harriot was employed as a young man by the explorer Sir Walter Ralegh. In 1585 he accompanied Ralegh's New World expedition to Roanoke, where, as a naturalist, he collaborated with painter John White to study the landscape and its inhabitants. Although Harriot must have kept notebooks, none survives. The existing record of his observations is A Brief and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia (1588), an optimistic account of native culture that seems to have been written at Ralegh's direction. Although this work lacks candorHarriot avoids mentioning how the colonists fled a brutal storm by shipit does acknowledge how the Indians were gradually devastated by disease and provides detailed descriptions of these native peoples in their soon-to-be-changing natural environment.

56. 6.2 Thomas Harriot (Dejiny Algebry)
    6.2 thomas harriot (1560 1621). Anglický matematik, ktorý napísal knihu?Použitie analytického umenia na riešenie algebraických úloh“.  
    http://www.matika.sk/zdroje/texty/recenz/Dejalg/Cast6/Part6-2.htm
    
    Extractions: 6.2 Thomas Harriot (1560 - 1621) Anglický matematik, ktorý napísal knihu „ Použitie analytického umenia na riešenie algebraických úloh “. V tejto knihe zdokonalil Viétovu symboliku. Napríklad rovnicu x bx b x b písal v tvare a.aa - 3.baa + 3.bba = + 2.bbb. Tu bodka nie je znakom pre násobenie, ale je to odde¾ujúci znak. Bodku pre násobenie zaviedol až koncom 17. storoèia Leibniz. Vidno, že Harriot sa ešte pridržiava Viétovho princípu homogenity. Pri skúmaní rovníc násobil èleny tvaru (a - b), (a - c), (a + d) s cie¾om dosta uvažovanú rovnicu s neznámou a. Je zaujímavé, že používal aj súèinitele tvaru (a + d), ktoré zodpovedajú zápornej hodnote koreòa. Podobne ako Viet aj Harriot však pripúšal len kladné korene. Tu vidíme, ako samotná symbolika navádza na zrovnoprávnenie kladných a záporných koreòov, aj keï Harriot ešte nebol ochotný túto rovnoprávnos uzna. Všimol si však, že vynásobením n koreòových èinite¾ov dostaneme rovnicu n-tého stupòa, èo je významný krok smerom k základnej vete algebry. Takže Viétova symbolika sama o sebe skutoène podnecuje k objavom, a odvtedy je pokrok v matematike nerozluène spätý s rozvojom symboliky.

    http://mintaka.sdsu.edu/GF/vision/others.html
    
    Extractions: While Galileo did not injure his eyes by observing sunspots, some other early observers did. Most of these injuries were minor, such as long-lasting after-images. For example, Thomas Harriot , who disovered sunspots independently at about the same time as Galileo, but failed to publish his observations, observed the Sun about noon in February, 1612, and then found ``my sight was after dim for an houre.'' [See ``Thomas Harriot, Renaissance Scientist,'' edited by John W. Shirley (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1974), pp. 129ff, for a discussion of Harriot's sunspot observations. Harriot's observation mentioned here is on p. 140.] [Both the Harriot and Greaves observations were quoted a little more fully by S. P. Rigaud in a hard-to-find work, Supplement to Dr. Bradley's Miscellaneous Works: with an account of Harriot's astronomical papers (Oxford University Press, 1833).] Rigaud quotes Harriot's remark on p. 34, and Greaves on p. 33. He cites Greaves's Misc. Works
