Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Correspondence of Abraham Sharp: The Yorkshire Mathematician and Astronomer, and Assistant of Flamsteed; With Memorials of His Family, and Associated Families The publication of a Life of Abraham Sharp has been the desire of the Author for many years. Sharp's life-long labours in the twin sciences of mathematics and astronomy; the important part he played in bringing the latter to a practical test by means of his inventive and mechanical genius; and the somewhat ambiguous nature of the account which had been given of his personal history, all seemed to call for such an account as would do justice to his genius and his works. Beyond detached notices of him, however, many of which are clearly traceable to a common origin, no Life of Sharp had been written, although nearly 150 years have elapsed since his decease, nor has justice been done to his ability and industry either by contemporary writers or by modern scientists. Fortunately, materials affording ample testimony of his title to rank even with contemporaries like Sir Isaac Newton, Dr. Halley, and Flamsteed, the first astronomer-royal, have come into the Author's hands, and the result appears in the present work.

Imagine Math 8
Author: Michele EmmerPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030926907
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
This eighth volume of Imagine Math is different from all the previous ones. The reason is very clear: in the last two years, the world changed, and we still do not know what the world of tomorrow will look like. Difficult to make predictions. This volume has a subtitle Dreaming Venice. Venice, the dream city of dreams, that miraculous image of a city on water that resisted for hundreds of years, has become in the last two years truly unreachable. Many things tie this book to the previous ones. Once again, this volume also starts like Imagine Math 7, with a homage to the Italian artist Mimmo Paladino who created exclusively for the Imagine Math 8 volume a new series of ten original and unique works of art dedicated to Piero della Francesca. Many artists, art historians, designers and musicians are involved in the new book, including Linda D. Henderson and Marco Pierini, Claudio Ambrosini and Davide Amodio. Space also for comics and mathematics in a Disney key. Many applications, from Origami to mathematical models for world hunger. Particular attention to classical and modern architecture, with Tullia Iori. As usual, the topics are treated in a way that is rigorous but captivating, detailed and full of evocations. This is an all-embracing look at the world of mathematics and culture.
