Review of “Love Walked In” by Marisa De Los Santos Posted on by rhapsodyinbooks Many thanks to Anna of Hachette Audio Books for providing me with a copy of the Outliers CD for review. In Outliers , Malcolm Gladwell gives us two books in one. On the one hand, we have an entertaining collection of vignettes about people who were successful, and people who should have been successful but were not. On the other, we have a book purporting to draw scientific conclusions from a selection of sociological data. Let’s turn to each of these in turn, starting with the latter. When Gladwell tries to be a scientist, he resembles Procrustes more than Frances Bacon. (In Greek mythology, Procrustes was a rather cranky host who either cut up or stretched out his guests to fit his iron bed. Therefore a “procrustean bed” refers to a theory for which data is manipulated in order to fit its premises. Frances Bacon, by contrast, known as “the Father of the Scientific Method,” systematized a way of knowing which fits the theory to the data rather than the other way around.)

Objectives of the Bellagio International Workshop A short rationale Faculty members and advanced students interested in scientific research in many under-served colleges in the US , in many academic institutions in Eastern Europe and academic institutions in the Caribbean , sub-Saharan Africa and Asia , have in common to scarcely be part of the accelerated stream of discoveries made possible by the technological advances of our computer age. This proposal is to link these communities, with faculties from some premier research groups and academic institutions as well as, by initiating a series of international workshops. The scope Based on the current discoveries and their importance to humanity, we are planning for the first session of a biannual intercontinental workshop on mathematical modeling, simulation, visualization and e-learning to help improve quality education in under-served academic institutions. Such a workshop will be supervised by leading experts from the US and from around the world. It will focus on faculty members from 2 and 4 years colleges from the US , junior and senior researchers from Eastern Europe , the Caribbean , sub-Saharan Africa and Asia , as well as undergraduate and graduate students involved in research. Such a workshop will provide the state of art knowledge through self contained papers illustrated with appropriate examples, in the summer school model. However, unlike typical international meetings aimed at accomplished and well provided experts, such a workshop will be oriented toward isolated and poorly provided faculties. Undergraduate research will be part of the major concerns of such a workshop.

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality Italian ... Barile Fibonacci, Leonardo da Pisa (ca. 1170-ca. 1240) This entry contributed by Margherita Barile Italian mathematician who was the first great Western mathematician after the decline of Greek science. The son of a merchant, Fibonacci drew the motivation to mathematical inquiry from his commercial trips to the the Orient. It was somewhere between Barbary (Maghreb) and Constantinople (now Istanbul) that he got acquainted with the Hindu-Arabic number system and discovered its enormous practical advantages compared to the Roman numerals which were still current in Western Europe. Performing even the simplest arithmetical operations with a non-positional notation was a difficult endeavor: for this task the merchants were forced to resort to the abacus, a device where the numbers were represented by moving balls. Fibonacci exposed the new alternate computing methodbased on written algorithms rather than on counting objectsin his Liber Abaci , first issued in 1202. The book began with a presentation of what he called the ten "Indian figures" (0, 1, 2, ..., 9). It was intended as an algebra manual for commercial use, and explained the arithmetical rules using numerical examples derived, for example, from measure and currency conversion, which were translated into proportions and solved by multiplication (rule of three). The so-called Fibonacci sequence arose in this book from a concrete question concerning the growth of a rabbit population.

79. Fermat, Pierre De (1601-1665) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific Biogr Biography of the mathematician from Eric Weisstein s World of Scientific Biography. http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/biography/Fermat.html

Branch of Science Mathematicians Nationality French Fermat, Pierre de (1601-1665) French lawyer who pursued mathematics in his spare time. Although he pursued mathematics as an amateur, his work in number theory was of such exceptional quality and erudition that he is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians of all times. He had the habit of scribbling notes in the margins of books or in letters to friends rather than publishing them. He discovered analytic geometry independently of Descartes , but did not publish his work. He founded the theory of probability with Pascal and discovered the least time principle which states that light will travel through an optical system in such a way as to pass from starting to ending point in the least amount of time (a concept from calculus of variations ). Fermat solved many fundamental calculus problems, and made important contributions to number theory and optics. He was also fluent in French, Italian, Spanish, Latin, and Greek. He is most famous for scribbling a note in the margin of a book by Diophantus that he had discovered a proof that the equation x n y n z n has no integer solutions for n >2. He stated "I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of this, which however the margin is not large enough to contain." The proposition, which came to be known as
