Extractions: Karl Pearson March 27 April 27 ) was a major contributor to the early development of statistics as a serious scientific discipline in its own right. He founded the Department of Applied Statistics at University College London in ; it was the first university statistics department in the world. Karl Pearson was born in London on the 27th March . He was educated privately at University College School, after which he went to King's College, Cambridge to study mathematics. He then spent part of and studying medieval and 16th-century German literature at the universities of Berlin and Heidelberg - in fact, he became sufficiently knowledgeable in this field that he was offered a post in the German department at Cambridge University His next career move was to Lincoln's Inn , where he read law until (although he never practised). After this, he returned to mathematics , deputising for the mathematics professor at King's College London in 1881 and for the professor at University College London in . In , he was appointed to the Goldshmid Chair of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics at University College London.

In the fore-part of this year, when I was asked to give a lecture in Newcastle, the minds of men were not inclined to be interested in the fascinating problems of pure science. The spirits of one and all, whatever their political party or their opinions on the rights or wrongs of British action in South Africa might be, were depressed in a manner probably never before experienced by those of our countrymen now living. We can, in the light of what has happened since, afford, perhaps, to admit the truth now. We had been defeated, I may even venture to say badly defeated, by a social organism far less highly developed and infinitely smaller than our own. We felt like the giant bewildered, not by the strength, but by the skill and ingenuity, of our opponent. We had lost the power of foreseeing, and our soldiers the power of adapting themselves to a change of environment. . . . It was consciousness of this lack of real insight not in one, but in many departments of national life which gave an abiding gloom to the depression arising from our difficulties at the commencement of the year. It was not only the need of 'somehow muddling through' this matter, but the problem of how we were to provide against graver crises in the future, which depressed many. How was the nation's own fault to be brought home to it? How could it become a more highly-organized whole, profiting to the full by such brains as our race possesses? Such thoughts as these, rather than the purely intellectual problems of science, filled my mind when your invitation to lecture in Newcastle reached me, and they led me more or less directly to try and emphasize the national value of science.

Porter, T.M.: Karl Pearson: The Scientific Life In A Statistical Age.
of the book karl pearson The Scientific Life in a StatisticalAge by Porter, TM, published by Princeton University Press.
http://pup.princeton.edu/titles/7786.html

Extractions: Chapter 1 [HTML] or [PDF format] Karl Pearson, founder of modern statistics, came to this field by way of passionate early studies of philosophy and cultural history as well as ether physics and graphical geometry. His faith in science grew out of a deeply moral quest, reflected also in his socialism and his efforts to find a new basis for relations between men and women. This biography recounts Pearson's extraordinary intellectual adventure and sheds new light on the inner life of science. Theodore Porter's intensely personal portrait of Pearson extends from religious crisis and sexual tensions to metaphysical and even mathematical anxieties. Pearson sought to reconcile reason with enthusiasm and to achieve the impersonal perspective of science without sacrificing complex individuality. Even as he longed to experience nature directly and intimately, he identified science with renunciation and positivistic detachment. Porter finds a turning point in Pearson's career, where his humanistic interests gave way to statistical ones, in his Grammar of Science (1892), in which he attempted to establish scientific method as the moral educational basis for a refashioned culture.

Can anything be done to rescue you from your professorship? BEGINNING IN 1892, when he took up statistics as his scientific vocation, Karl Pearson devoted himself relentlessly to a project of almost universal quantification. This work, the invention of a mathematical field of statistics, defined one of the landmark transitions in the history of the sciences, or indeed of public rationality. Until then he had been a thoroughly restless intellectual, as involved in politics, literature, and history as in science. These studies and experiences set up his wide-ranging career as a quantifier, and at the same time created conditions for enduring doubts about this mission, to which he thereafter dedicated his career, and about the form of society it helped to fashion. Having sought through philosophy, history, marital partnership, scientific method, and statistics to discipline and socialize the egoistic self, he came increasingly to fear that the modern project of specialized science would fragment selfhood and suppress individuality.

1966. Primitive, Archaic and Modern Economics Essays of karl Polanyi,1968. The Livelihood of Man, with HW pearson, 1977. Resources
http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/profiles/polanyi.htm

Extractions: Although Karl Polanyi's life was one of virtual nomadism - he never achieved a comfortable academic appointment - this maverick economic historian nonetheless exerted a powerful influence on his ivory tower contemporaries. Polanyi was born in Vienna and raised in Budapest, joining, in his student days, the circle of such luminary radicals such as Georg Lukacs and Karl Mannheim. During World War I, he was imprisoned on the Russian front, and upon release, returned to Vienna as a journalist. He immigrated to Britain in 1933, where he lived hand-to-mouth as a tutor. In 1940, during a lecture tour in the US, Polanyi decided to accept an offer by Bennington College. It was then that he wrote his magnum opus - The Great Transformation Polanyi's central thesis is well known among sociologists and economic historians: namely, that capitalism is a historical anomaly because while previous economic arrangments were "embedded" in social relations, in capitalism, the situations was reversed - social relations were defined by economic relations. In Polanyi's view, in the sweep of human history, rules of reciprocity, redistribution and communal obligations were far more frequent than market relations. However, not only did capitalism not exhibit them, its ascendancy actually destroyed them irreversibly. The "great transformation" of the industrial revolution was to completely replace all modes of interaction with the other. The details of this "ascendancy" was Polanyi's other main contribution. Far from a "natural" or "necessary" outcome, Polanyi argued that capitalism evolved from the demands placed by new mercantile and then bourgois classes upon the State to protect their fledgling enterprises and precarious social status. In this way, governments became the handmaiden of capitalism, helping to advance it with the necessary legislation and execution by virtual force of arms.

Extractions: This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson

London A 185 The data give the ratio of "forehead" breadth to body length for 1000 crabs sampled at Naples by Professor W.F.R. Weldon. The first analysis reproduces Pearson's original fit with two normal components.

Although not as good a fit as a mixture of two normals, a single Weibull component is an acceptable fit at the 1% level of significance. Since there was no independent biological evidence that the population was a mixture, the fact that a mixture of normals fits well does not prove that there are two species of crabs.
