Extractions: Hippocrates (Hypokrates, c BC ). Information about Hippocrates' life is scanty. His younger contemporary Plato referred to him only twice. In the Protagoras he called Hippocrates the ' Asclepiad (i.e. member of a family of physicians) of Cos' who taught students for fees and implied that he was as well known a physician as Polyclitus and Phidias were sculptors. In the Phaedrus Plato again refers to Hippocrates as a famous Asclepiad who had a philosophical approach to medicine. In his Politics Aristotle says that although Hippocrates was called 'the Great Physician' he was in fact small in stature, and his pupil Meno specifically stated in his history of medicine the views of Hippocrates on the causation of diseases - namely that undigested residues were produced by an unsuitable diet and that these residues excreted vapours which passed into the body and produced diseases. These are the only extant contemporary, or near-contemporary, references to Hippocrates. Five hundred years later, the Greek physician Soranus wrote a biography, but the contents of this and later lives were largely hagiographic or imaginative. Throughout his life Hippocrates appears to have travelled widely in Greece and Asia Minor practicing his art and teaching his pupils, and he presumably taught at the medical school at Cos. His birth and death dates are traditional but may well be approximately accurate.

Extractions: Mathematician Report Index Below is a list of mathematicians. You may choose from this list or report on a mathematician not listed here. In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive.

Extractions: (Chapter 3: The Academy and the Porch) by E. Vernon Arnold (1857 - 1926) realist is . But just as Plato holds that general conceptions are alone true and real, so he necessarily maintains that objects perceivable by the senses are only half-real, and that the ordinary man lives in a world of illusions. Thus the thoughts of the philosopher are separated by an abyss from the world in which men live and die. The ideal State is modeled on the individual man. To the three parts of the soul correspond three classes of citizens; the rulers, whose virtue is Wisdom; the guardians, on whom Courage is incumbent; the laborers and tradesmen, who owe the State Soberness and obedience. Thus the political system to which Plato leans is that of an Aristocracy; for the middle class in his state has only an executive part in the government, and the lower orders are entirely excluded from it. Aristotle thus reinstates the credit of the common man; he it is who possesses the substance of truth and gives it habitual expression by speech, even roughly indicating the various kinds of existence by different forms of words. It is now indicated that a study of grammar is required as the foundation of logic. In the study of physics Aristotle picks up the thread which Socrates had dropped deliberately, that is, the teaching of the Ionic philosophers. Either directly from Empedocles, or from a

Extractions: Last revision: Aug. 3, 1999 NABLA (as a name for the "del" or Hamiltonian operator). The following is taken from A History of Vector Analysis by Michael J. Crowe: Nabla was the name suggested to [Peter Guthrie] Tait by Robertson Smith because of the similarity of the symbol to an Assyrian harp. See [1; 143]. Maxwell used the word only once in his published writings, and that was in a poem, "To the Chief Musician upon Nabla, A Tyndallic Ode." The "Chief Musician upon Nabla" was Tait. The poem was published in Nature and is given in [1; 171174]. This citation is from note 27 to chapter four of "A history of vector analysis" by Michael J. Crowe (originally published by University of Notre Dame Press in 1967, and republished by Dover in 1985). The note is on page 146 of the Dover edition. Reference [1] above is Cargil Gilston Knott, "Life and Scientific Work of Peter Guthrie Tait", Cambridge, England, 1911. (This information is from Michele Benzi.) The term nabla was used by both Heaviside and Hamilton (Cajori vol. 2, page 135; Kline, page 780). According to Schwartzman (p. 142) Hamilton introduced this term.
Extractions: Last revision: July 31, 1999 LAGRANGE MULTIPLIER. The term "Lagrange's method of undetermined multipliers" appears in J. W. Mellor, Higher Mathematics for Students of Chemistry and Physics (1912) [James A. Landau]. The term "Lagrange multiplier rule" appears in "The Problem of Mayer with Variable End Points," Gilbert Ames Bliss, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 19, No. 3. (Jul., 1918). Lagrange multiplier is found in "Necessary Conditions in the Problems of Mayer in the Calculus of Variations," Gillie A. Larew, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 20, No. 1. (Jan., 1919): "The [lambda]'s appearing in this sum are the functions of x sometimes called Lagrange multipliers." LAGRANGIAN (as a noun) occurs in P. A. M. Dirac, "The Lagrangian in quantum mechanics," Phys. Z. Sowjetunion LAPLACE'S COEFFICIENTS. According to Todhunter (1873), "the name Laplace's coefficients appears to have been first used" by William Whewell (1794-1866) [Chris Linton]. The term appears in 1845 in the Encyclopedia Metropolitana.
