¦­´Á¼Æ¾Ç¦r·Jªº¾ú¥v (N) 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.

43. Famous Anatomists (Ancient) visited Syracuse. Speusippus, Plato's nephew, was also teaching at theAcademy, as was xenocrates of chalcedon. Following his studies http://www.anatomist.co.uk/FamousAnatomists/famousanatomists1b.htm

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.

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.

Roman Stoicism (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

"By the time the average person finishes college he or she will have taken over 2,600 tests, quizzes and exams. The 'right answer' approach becomes deeply ingrained in our thinking. This may be fine for some mathematical problems, where there is in fact only one right answer. The difficulty is that most of life isn't that way. Life is ambiguous; there are many right answers - all depending on what you are looking for. But if you think there is only one right answer, then you'll stop looking as soon as you find one." Roger von Oech "Perfectionism is a slow death. If everything were to just like I would want it to, just like I would plan for it to, then I would never experience anything new; my life would be an endless repetition of stale successes. When I make a mistake I experience something unexpected."

59. XENOCRATES xenocrates, of chalcedon, Greek philosopher, scholarch or rector of the Academy from 339 to 314 B http://49.1911encyclopedia.org/X/XE/XENOCRATES.htm

document.write(""); XENOCRATES XENOCRATES, of Chalcedon, Greek philosopher, scholarch or rector of the Academy from 339 to 314 B.C., was born in 396. Removing to Athens in early youth, he became the pupil of the Socratic Aeschines, but presently joined himself to Plato, whom he attended to Sicily in 361. Upon his master's death (~4~ n.e.), in compan.y with Aristotle he paid a visit to Hermias at Atarneus. In 339, Aristotle being then in Macedonia, Xenocrates succeeded Speusippus in the presidency of the school, defeating his competitors Menedemus and Heracleides by a few votes. On three occasions he was member of an Athenian legation, once to Philip, twice to Antipater. Soon after the death of Demosthenes jfl 322, resenting the Macedoriian influence then dominant at Athens, Xen.ocrates declined the citizenship offered to him at the instance of Phocion, and, being unable to pay the tax levied upon resident aliens, was, it is said, sold, or on the point of being sold, into slavery. He died in 314, and was succeeded as scholarch by Polemon, whom he had reclaimed from a life of profligacy. Besides Polemon, the statesman Phocion, Chaeron, tyrant of Pellene, the Academic Crantor, the Stoic Zeno and Epicurus are alleged to have frequented his lectures. Xenocrates’s earnestness and strength of character won for him universal respect, and stories were remembered in proof of his purity, integrity and benevolence. Wanting in quickness of apprehension and in native grace, he made up for these deficiencies by a conscientious love of truth and an untiring industry. Less original than Speusippus, he adhered more closely to the letter of Platonic doctrine, and is accounted the typical representative of the Old Academy. In his writings, which were numerous, he seems to have covered nearly the whole of the Academic programme; but metaphysics and ethics were the subjects which principally engaged his thoughts. He is said to have invented, or at least to have emphasized, the tripartition of philosophy under the heads of physic, dialectic and ethic.
