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.
Some suggestions on the historical perspective might be:
(a) Any wars etc.
(b) Scientific breakthroughs of the time
(c) Major discoveries of the time
(d) How did this mathematician change history etc.

http://www.phenomena.org.uk/miasma.htm
The Blue Mist Mystery
The theory that infectious disease was the result of a 'miasma' or poisoned atmosphere was once general. Malaria derives its name from mala aria or 'bad air'. Medieval physicians thought that the Black Death was the result of corrupted air, which sometimes became visible in the form of mist or smoke. The Chronicler of Este said that the plague of 1348 was the result of a rain of fire between China and Persia, which created a vast cloud of smoke. Whoever saw this smoke died in a few hours, as did anyone who looked at persons who had seen the smoke. Other physicians thought the lethal miasma emanated from the corpses of innumerable victims of earthquake, flood and drought in China, or had issued from cracks in the ground caused by earthquakes in 1347. In 1717, a Dr. Aubrey, aboard a slave ship off the coast of West Africa, experimented with the miasma theory. He believed that the fogs that appeared at dusk over the river estuaries caused the disease dengue, or 'break-bone fever'. He made a paste of oatmeal and left it on deck all night, then fed it to some chickens.

DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER
by: Victor Boesen Chapter FIVE The Weather Machine The science of meteorology began more than 350 years ago. It started when Galileo, the great Italian astronomer, devised the first instrument to measure the weather. This was the thermometer. Until then, nobody ever knew how hot or cold it was. The science was carried forward another step by Galileo's assistant, Evangelista Torricelli, who had the novel idea that the atmosphere had weight, that this weight fluctuated, and invented the barometer to prove it. Next came the hygrometer. Based on the human hair, which expands under dampness, this instrument measured moisture in the air. The early weatherman now had three instruments to tell him something about the state of the atmosphere-the tem perature, pressure, and humidity. In 1749 the practice of sending these instruments aloft by kite began. The use of kites to gather information about the weather continued until about 1925 when it gradually was re placed by the airplane. When balloons appeared toward the end of the eighteenth century these provided a great leap forward in weather obser vation, supplementing the kite. In fact, balloons to this day remain an important tool in gathering information about the weather.

Sir James Hopwood Jeans
Born: 11 Sept 1877 in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England
Died: 16 Sept 1946 in Dorking, Surrey, England
James Jeans ' family moved to Brighton, then when he was 3 years old they moved to London. Jeans went to Trinity College Cambridge in 1896 and fellow student G H Hardy was in the same year. Jeans was taught as an undergraduate at Cambridge by J W L Glaisher, W W Rouse Ball, A N Whitehead, R A Herman and E T Whittaker. Both Jeans and Hardy were awarded a Smith's prize in 1901 with unspecified relative merit. That year Jeans became a Fellow of Trinity. Jeans lectured at Princeton from 1905 until 1909. During this period, in 1907, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1909 Jeans returned to England and the following year he was appointed Stokes Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cambridge. He only held this post until 1912 when he retired to Guildford to devote himself to mathematical research. During his career he taught in Cambridge, England and Princeton, USA and undertook research at the Mt Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California. His work in astronomy led him to believe that Laplace's nebular hypothesis for the creation of the solar system was incorrect. Instead he proposed a tidal theory based on a star passing close to the Sun and pulling matter out which condensed into the planets.

High Altitude Record
The site of the University of Wolverhampton's Science Park was once the location of a world high altitude record In 1862 that impressive and august body, the British Association for the Advancement of Science, was determined to establish the nature of the upper atmosphere. What the Association needed first was a site sufficiently far inland to prevent a balloon being blown out to sea. It had to be easily reached by rail for the transporting of equipment. It had to be close to a gas works to inflate a balloon. Hydrogen was the best lifting agent but it was much too expensive and dangerous. Also, there had to be a clear take-off area. And if the event could be isolated by a stout fence from crowds of vulgar sensation-seeking hordes of the lower orders, all to the good. Respectability and dignity was important to Victorian scientists. Strange as it may seem now, few places in Britain then met those requirements. But Wolverhampton did. All that remained was to find a serious balloon pilot prepared to put his life at risk. Enter the balloonist or aeronaut, Henry Coxwell, and the scientist, James Glaisher, of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Enter also the summer of 1862.

No. 1492:
NECESSITY IN THE SIEGE OF PARIS by John H. Lienhard Click here for audio of Episode 1492. Today, necessity, invention, and the Siege of Paris. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. S o is necessity the mother of invention? The four-month Prussian siege of Paris in 1870 offers some clues. Telegraph lines had been cut, and Paris couldn't communicate with the rest of the world. Necessity demanded a solution. Parisians wished they could fly over the enemy's lines. In fact, two usable forms of flight did exist: carrier pigeons and balloons. Balloons could get out, but where they went was uncontrollable and only vaguely predictable. And there was no way to guide a balloon into Paris from outside. Carrier pigeons couldn't be sent anywhere; they could only find their way back to Paris. The obvious trick was to fly both messages and crated pigeons out of Paris in balloons by night, and to send microfilmed messages back by carrier pigeon. Several pigeons had to be sent with duplicate messages because enemy soldiers shot as many as they could.
