He calculated the movements of the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune more precisely than had been achieved previously. His tables of the motions of these and other bodies of the solar system, published in 1880, were adopted by astronomers through-out the world. Newcomb was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia. He came to the United States in 1853 and graduated from Harvard in 1858. Newcomb was professor of mathematics in the U.S. Navy, 1861-97, rising to the rank of captain. From 1877 to 1897 he superintended the Nautical Almanac office, which published an annual handbook giving the predicted positions of celestial bodies. Newcomb was also a professor at Johns Hopkins University, 1884-94 and 1898-1900. He was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans in 1935. Related Topics Eddington, Sir Arthur Stanley

A B C D ... CONTACT entire Web this site Brilliant Canadian-born American mathematical astronomer whose work on the orbital motion of the planets of the Solar System was the cornerstone of the nautical and astronomical almanacs of the United States and Britain until as recently as 1984; his accomplishments are all the more remarkable because he was almost entirely self-taught. At age 18, with little money or schooling, Newcomb made his way on foot from his native Nova Scotia to the United States. Eventually he found employment as a computer with the Nautical Almanac Office (then in Cambridge, Massachusetts) and earned a B.S. at Harvard. He rose to become, in 1877, superintendant of the Nautical Almanac Office, later part of the U.S. Naval Observatory , and served concurrently as professor of mathematics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. He used carefully analyzed measurements of stellar and planetary positions to compute motions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and satellites, and also measured the speed of light and the constant of precession . His values for the fundamental constants of astronomy were used by the world's almanac makers for decades. A profuse writer on mathematics, economics, and other subjects, Newcomb also provided important guidance on the construction of some the world's largest telescopes and was a leader in American science. He was the first president of the

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Newcomb, Simon (b. March 12, 1835, Wallace, Nova Scotiad. July 11, 1909, Washington, D.C.), Canadian -born American astronomer and mathematician who prepared ephemeridestables of computed places of celestial bodies over a period of timeand tables of astronomical constants. Life Newcomb displayed his aptitude for working with figures at an early age. His father, an itinerant country schoolteacher, taught him to count at the age of four, and before he was five he was spending several hours a day making calculations in addition and multiplication; before he was seven he had finished the arithmetic book, including the extraction of cube roots. Newcomb had little or no formal education. At the age of 16 he was apprenticed to a quack herb doctor in Salisbury, N.B. After two or three years he ran away to join his widowed father who had settled in the United States, in Maryland. In the libraries at Washington, D.C., Simon found the first full opportunity to indulge his intellectual curiosity. After avidly exploring many technical fields he concluded that his principal talent lay in mathematics. He was especially attracted to the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac
