The Legacy Of Ada Lovelace: The World’s First Coder

The Legacy Of Ada Lovelace: The World’s First Coder

Ada Lovelace was a mathematician and writer that lived in England in the 1800s. Between 1842-1843 she translated the work of an Italian mathematician about a proposed steam-powered Analytical Engine and added a series of notes including an algorithm that could use the machine to compute Bernoulli’s numbers. That is widely considered to be the first line of computer code ever written and is why she is credited with having invented programming. ...

Eureka! The Archimedes Principle

Eureka! The Archimedes Principle

livescience.com

Archimedes was possibly the world's greatest scientist — at least the greatest in the classical age. He was a physicist, mathematician, astronomer, inventor and engineer. Many of his inventions, theories and concepts are still in use today. Perhaps his best-known achievement was his "Eureka" moment, when he discovered the principle of buoyancy.BiographyArchimedes lived in Syracuse on the island of Sicily in the third century B.C. At that time, Syracuse was one of the most influential cities of the ancient world, according to Scientific American. Trading vessels from Egypt, G...

The Forgotten Genius of Oliver Heaviside: A Maverick of Electrical Science

The Forgotten Genius of Oliver Heaviside: A Maverick of Electrical Science

euro-math-soc.eu

Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925) was a British self-made electrical engineer and mathematician. He is probably best known as an electrical engineer, although his name is not explicitly attached to many terms. There is a Heaviside condition for transmission lines, but maybe less known is that he also coined terms such as conductance, inductance, impedance, and many more. In mathematics, his name is explicitly attached to the Heaviside step function usually denoted as H(x)H(x) in his honour, although he himself preferred the notation 11 instead. Sometimes his name is also attached to a method to compute the partial fraction expansion of a rational function. However, probably his most important contribution to science is that he reformulated the Maxwell equations in the form as we know them today. As a side product he introduced vector calculus and the associated (force)fields. It also brought complex numbers and complex analysis into electro-technical formulas. He is also the originator of operational calculus. The mathematics community was originally reluctant to accept it because it lacked fundamental rigidity. But it worked so well that it could not be ignored and other...

Akiane Kramarik: Artist, Poet, Prodigy

moderncoinmart.com

The term “child prodigy” often gets bandied about to describe children who are advanced in their studies or athletics. In most cases, it gets applied to children who learn or do things at a level that far exceeds others in their same age group. In a precious few, though, it describes children who are not simply capable of doing things that are beyond their years, but doing things that few, if any, adults can do. That was precisely the case with Akiane Kramarik.Akiane Kramarik's Early LifeKramarik was born on July 9, 1994 in a shack near Mount Morr...

Regiomontanus on Ptolemy, Physical Orbs, and Astronomical Fictionalism

To honor Bernard Goldstein, this article highlights in the “Defense of Theon against George of Trebizond” by Regiomontanus (1436–1476) themes that resonate with leading strands of Goldstein's scholarship. I argue that, in this poorly-known work, Regiomontanus's mastery of Ptolemy's mathematical a...

Lang Lang: 'I'd play the piano at 5am'

When Lang Lang was nine, his father told him to kill himself. Four years before, his father had decided that his only son should become the No 1 classical pianist in China. He gave up his job as a policeman and took his son to live in Beijing, leaving Lang Lang’s mother behind, planning to get th...
