Il est connu pour sa découverte des quaternions, mais il contribua aussi au développement de l'optique, de la dynamique et de l'algèbre. Ses recherches se révélèrent importantes pour le développement de la mécanique quantique. Les travaux mathématiques de Hamilton incluent l'étude de l'optique géométrique, l'adaptation des méthodes dynamiques aux systèmes optiques, l'application des quaternions et des vecteurs aux problèmes de mécanique et géométriques, les possibilités de résolution des équations polynomiales, notamment l'équation générale du cinquième degré, les opérateurs linéaires, dont il prouve un résultat concernant ces opérateurs dans l'espace des quaternions et qui est un cas spécial du théorème de Cayley-Hamilton. Hamilton est né à Dublin, son père est Archibald Hamilton. Une des branches de la famille écossaise auquel il appartient s'était installée dans le nord de l'Irlande au temps de Jacques I d'Écosse, ce qui a parfois donné l'impression que Hamilton était écossais. Hamilton est éduqué par James Hamilton, un prêtre anglican qui était son oncle. Enfant prodige ; son génie se révéla tout d'abord dans sa capacité à apprendre les langues. À l'âge de 7 ans, il a déjà fait des progrès considérables en hébreu et, à l'âge de 13 ans, sous la direction de son oncle qui est linguiste, il a déjà acquis autant de langues qu'il a d'années. Ces langues étaien...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Theobald Wolfe Tone (20 June 1763 19 November 1798), commonly known as Wolfe Tone, was a leading figure in the United Irishmen Irish independence movement and is regarded as the father of Irish republicanism. He died from a wound that he received after being sentenced to death for his part in the Irish Rebellion of 1798 whether self-inflicted or otherwise remains under debate at any rate, it deprived him of the chance to appeal his death sentence. Born in Dublin, he was the son of a Church of Ireland Protestant coach-maker, Peter Tone, who had a farm near Sallins, County Kildare. Tone studied law at Trinity College, Dublin where he became active in the debating club, the College Historical Society and was elected Auditor in 1785. He qualified as a barrister from King's Inns at the age of 26 and attended the Inns of Court in London. As a student, he eloped with Martha Witherington, daughter of William Witherington of Dublin, and his wife, Catherine Fanning. She would go on to change her name to Matilda, on Wolfe Tone's request. Disappointed at finding no support for a plan to found a military colony in Hawaii that he submitted to William Pitt the Younger, Tone turned to Irish politics. A 1790 pamphlet attacking the administration of the Marquess of Buckingham brought him to the notice of the Whig club; in September 1791 he wrote an essay by "A Northern Whig," 10,000 copies of which were said to have been sold. The principles of the French Revolution were now being eagerly embraced in Ireland, especially among the Presbyterians of Ulster. Two months before Tone's essay, a meeting had been held in Belfast, where republican toasts had been drunk and a resolution in favour of th...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=171353 ... Read more
