  • Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), man of dissent

    Open AccessIvor Grattan-Guinness, I Grattan‐GuinnessARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2009

    Russell argued against the Great War, but he also wanted to drop atomic bombs on the Soviet Union after World War II, and later he advocated nuclear disarmament. How could a great logician accommodate such inconsistencies? How, as a private citizen, did he make such a world-wide impact in his late years

  • On Jevons's Handling of Differential Equations in the Context of His Principle of Exchange, and the Early Reactions

    I Grattan-Guinne, I Grattan‐guinne et al.ARTICLEHistory of Political Economy2009Referencias: 7

    An important part of Jevons's economic theory was his theory of exchange of commodities. For justification he drew upon several aspects of differential equations and their applications, especially a principle in mechanics associated with equilibrium. Unfortunately his use of the principle was faulty. The error is analyzed here, along with his handling of differential equations in general, and the reactions to these aspects of his economic theory …

  • The interest of G. H. Hardy, F.R.S., in the philosophy and the history of mathematics

    Open AccessI Grattan-Guinness, I Grattan‐GuinnessARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2001

    Hardy's research career shows an orthodox concern with certain areas of mathematics, where he contributed with great distinction. But throughout his career there is also evidence of regular interest in the philosophy and the history of mathematics. The influence of Bertrand Russell is quite marked

  • The contributions of J.J. Sylvester, F.R.S., to mechanics and mathematical physics

    Open AccessI Grattan-Guinness, I Grattan‐GuinnessARTICLENotes and Records the Royal…2001

    A survey is made of the papers written by J.J. Sylvester (1814–1897) on mechanics and mathematical physics. Some relate to aspects of his professional career. They form only a small part of the output of this largely pure mathematician, but are of variety and intrinsic merit. Their limited total exemplifies the limited measure of interest that physical applications sustained among some mathematicians during a period when the preference for pure m…

    George Boole (1815-1864) is well known to mathematicians for his research and textbooks on the calculus, but his name has spread world-wide for his innovations in symbolic logic and the development and applications made since his day. The utility of "Boolean algebra" in computing has greatly increased curiosity in the nature and extent of his achievements. His work is most accessible in his two books on logic, "A mathematical analysis of logic" (…

  • Philosophy of Mathematics

    Open AccessIvor Grattan-Guinness, I Grattan‐Guinness et al.CHAPTERGeorge Boole1997

    The questions concerning the nature and philosophy of mathematics and which are familiar to all acquainted with the history of speculative opinion, form, it is probable, but a small part of those which have at different times occurred to earnest students without perhaps ever passing out of the silent region of thought into the outward world of controversy. The common notion of mathematics that it consists of a few clear sharp axioms, capable of b…

    The Sylvester Medal is an award made by the Royal Society ‘for the encouragement of mathematical research irrespective of nationality, and not confined to pure mathematical research’. It was instituted in memory of the Jewish mathematician James Joseph Sylvester (1814-1897), soon after his death. The Jewish community took the initiative, forming a committee chaired by Lord Rothschild and including the mathematicians A.R. Forsyth, A.G. Greenhill a…

  • The ingénieur savant, 1800-1830 A Neglected Figure in the History of French Mathematics and Science

    Open AccessI Grattan-Guinne, I Grattan-Guinness et al.ARTICLEScience in Context1993Citada por: 2Referencias: 17

    The ArgumentThis paper deals with the achievements of those French mathematicians active in the period 1800-1830 who oriented their work specifically around the needs of engineering and technology. In addition to a review of their achievements, the principal organizations and institutions are noted, as is their importance as sources of employment and influence.The argument is centered on the word 'neglected" in the title. A case is made that a ma…

  • The correspondence between george boole and stanley jevons, 1863–1864

    I Grattan-Guinness, I Grattan‐GuinnessARTICLEHistory and Philosophy of Logic1991Citada por: 2

    Although the existence of correspondence between George Boole (1815–1864) and William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882) has been known for a long time and part was even published in 1913, it has never been fully noted; in particular, it is not in the recent edition of Jevons's letters and papers. The texts are transcribed here, with indication of their significance. Jevons proposed certain quite radical changes to Boole's system, which Boole did not acc…

    If the word did not refer to someone who owns a shop where one buys spectacles, I would be tempted to call Fresnel an ‘optician’. Yet this would also be unfair, for he also contributed to electrodynamics (§14.2.4). Born in 1788 at Broglie in Normandy to an architect and builder, Augustin Jean Fresnel was brought up in Caen, where he studied at the local school. Entering the Ecole Polytechnique in 1804 with Binet, a year after Arago and a year bef…
