43. Descartes - Background
    In the sixteenth century, European mathematicians reached the point where they surpassed the ancient mathematicians Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius.

    Extractions: You are going to read much of Descartes' Meditations, A Spanish historian writing some fifty years after the voyages of Columbus, remarked of those voyages that nothing had happened of such importance in the history of the world since "the birth of our Savior." A modern historian of science, reflecting on the development of modern science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, remarked that nothing had happened of such importance in European cultural history since the advent of Christianity. Rene Descartes was a major figure in these developments. In the sixteenth century, European mathematicians reached the point where they surpassed the ancient mathematicians Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius. The ancients had left a series of unsolved problems. European mathematicians either solved those remaining problems or showed that they could not be solved. Similarly, astronomical thinking during the sixteenth century broke with ancient models. Copernicus, mentioned by Montaigne in An Apology for Raymond Sebond The development of mathematics, astronomy and physics in Europe beyond what the ancients had achieved, was a major factor in bringing the Renaissance to a close. Francis Bacon understood what was happening. He captured these developments in an image which compares voyages of the mind with voyages by ship. The Mediterranean Sea was the boundary of the ancient world, beyond the pillars of Hercules was the unknown Atlantic Ocean. Bacon saw Europeans breaking the bounds of ancient learning and sailing past the Pillars of Hercules (The Straits of Gibralter) and passing out into a voyage of discovery on the unknown sea. It is clear that Descartes was a great captain in these new intellectual voyages of discovery.

44. Karl's Calculus Tutor - Box 5.3b Solving A Quartic (4th Degree) Polynomial
    Four centuries before European mathematicians solved the problems of the cubic and quartic equations, Indian mathematician and astronomer, Bhaskara, had solved these problems.

    Extractions: © 1999 by Karl Hahn Four centuries before European mathematicians solved the problems of the cubic and quartic equations, Indian mathematician and astronomer, Bhaskara , had solved these problems. You can see a biography of Bhaskara by clicking here The information on this page is now available in pdf format. Click here to get document ( pdf viewer required. There are also pdf converters available online if you need to have any pdf document in another format.) Only once in my life have I actually found use of the quartic formula. But seeing how to develop a solution to the general quartic is much more interesting than the formula itself, which is what I will do here. Once again, this is optional material , placed here for those who have both a curious mind and the extra time needed to spend on topics that won't be on the exam. To be honest, I don't think I could have come up with a solution to the quartic on my own even if I had studied the problem for years. What I will do here is reconstruct, as best I can, Ferrari's thinking when he discovered the solution. The general quartic equation is

45. European Mathematical Society Awards
    The EMS holds its congress every four years and, at that time, awards 10 prizes intended to encourage young European mathematicians.

    Extractions: Five Prizes to CNRS Researchers Paris, July 19, 2000 At its congress held from July 10 to 14, 2000 in Barcelona (Spain), the European Mathematical Society awarded prizes to 10 young European mathematicians under age 32. These prizes reward research work that is particularly promising. Five of the prize winners work in joint CNRS/ third party research laboratories. This international recognition corroborates the CNRS policy of recruiting and training young researchers in the field of mathematics. - Emmanuel GRENIER (partial derivative equations and fluid mechanics), university professor, "Unité de mathématiques pures et appliquées de l’ENS de Lyon" [Pure and Applied Mathematics Unit of the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon] (CNRS – Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon, Lyon)

With this activity the EMS wants to encourage young European mathematicians to meet and study together current developments in Mathematics and its applications. The EMS is happy to announce that its second series of Summer Schools and Conferences in pure and applied Mathematics will be funded as a series of Marie Curie Conferences and Training Course , under EU Contract MSCF-CT-2005-029473. This means in particular that support for travel and living expenses will be available for a substantial number of participants in three categories of eligible researchers: Early stage researchers, with up to four years research experience, computed as full time years of research work after completion of the diploma giving access to a Ph.D. programme. These researchers could be of any nationality. Typically, Ph. D. students enter in this category.

    Extractions: Algebra, trigonometry and calculus came from India. Quadratic equations were made by Sridharacharya in the 11th century. The largest numbers the Greeks and the Romans used were 106 whereas Hindus used numbers as big as 1,053,91 to the power of 53 with specific names as early as 5,000 BC during the Vedic period. Even today, the largest used number is Tera 1,012,910 to the power,of 12.
