Octavo. vi 30 4;4 31-90; 4 91-150; 4 150-166 pp. Following this there is an 80 pp. section that contains the Mathematical Associates as well as the answers. Numerous graphs and mathematical notations throughout. Publisher's blue/green cloth with gilt spine lettering. A preternaturally nice copy. Only four copies located by OCLC.Each volume in two parts: The enigmatical entertainer and The mathematical associate. A highly idiosyncratic publication with poems logic conundrums extremely difficult mathematical problems and word puzzles. "The original intention of the editor was to insert 20 Enigmas thirty Charades ten Queries and twenty Mathematical Questions in each number but this arrangement was not strictly adhered to" The Mechanics' Magazine 1851. A number of well known mathematicians contributed to this periodical but that did not save it as it ceased publication in 1832 never to return. One suspects that it was just too difficult.

First printings of Babbage's main mathematical contributions."Babbage's major Contribution to mathematics was his calculus of functions which he became interested in as early as 1809 and continued to develop during his years at Cambridge. Babbage presents his major ideas on the subject in the above two papers published in the "Philosophical Transactions" in 1815 and 1816. "It can be said with some assurance that no mathematician prior to Babbage had treated the calculus of functions in such systematic way.Babbage must be given full credit as the inventor of a distinct and importent branch of mathematics" Dubbey 1978 90. Elsewhere Dubby states that his new scheme would serve as a generalized calculus to include all problems capable of analytical formulation and it is possible to see here a hint of the inspiration for his concept of THE ANALYTICAL ENGINE. While the work on the engines and his other scientific social and political activities caused him virtually to abandon mathematical research at the age of thirty the calculus of functions was the area he often yearned to continue. In fact the calculus of functions was not taken up by other workers and it is the aspect of Babbage's mathematical work that modern mathematicians find most fascinating Dubbey 1989 18-19." Hook a. Norman No. 19.Charles Babbage William Herschel and George Peacock founded in 1810 in Cambridge the "Analytical Society" at Trinity College in order to reform the notation and the teaching of mathematics in England introducing Leibniz' differential notation instead of Newton's fluxions. The continental texts and papers then became accessible to English students. unknown

Scarce first edition of the famous German educators mathematical textbook - his suggestion to how mathematics should be taught in his educational reform. Basedow’s views were based on the writings of men such as John Amos Comenius John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. His practical teaching methods were more expansive in their implications for education than those of any of his immediate predecessors in the field and by the early 19th century they had become a fundamental force in Germany’s public school systems.Basedow blev i 1753 ansat af J.H.E. Bernstorff ved Sorø Akademi som professor i moral og de skønne videnskaber. Her kom han bl.a. i forbindelse med den danske oplysningsforfatter og Sorø-professor Jens Schielderup Sneedorff hvis værker han oversatte til tysk. Sneedorff blev selv inspirereret af Basedows pædagogiske idéer. hardcover

Near Fine Spine Gilt Dulled But Present Immaculate Hinges Tight. Mit Bookplate Of Computer Pioneer Willis H Ware With His Completed 1943 Reply To Mit To Update His Address Signed By Him At End. Ware Graduated From Mit In 1942 And Was Then Working At The Haseltine Corporation Prior To His Pioneering Work On Computers. Ware'S Participation In A Classified World War Ii Project To Identify Friendly Aircraft Led The Mathematician John Von Neumann To Recruit Him To Help Develop A Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study In Princeton N.J. In 1946. That Machine Was Not The First Digital Computer But It Was Based On A Set Of Design Ideas Described By Dr. Von Neumann That Were Broadly Influential - First On The Design Of Computers Built By Scientists Around The World And Then On An Early Ibm Computer Known As The 701. Many Of These Concepts Are Still Visible In The Structure Of Modern Computers And Smartphones. Mr. Ware Part Of A Small Group Of Engineers Working On That Machine Was The First To Try To Engineer Many Of The Components That Would Become Vital To Modern Computers. His Experience In Designing High-Speed Electronic Circuits During The War Was Essential To His Work On The Computer At The Institute For Advanced Study Said George Dyson A Historian Of The Project. Moving To Los Angeles He Worked For North American Aviation And Joined Rand In 1952. There He Managed The Department Where The Engineer Paul Baran Did Early Work On Packet-Switching A Technology That Was The Basis For The Internet. Mr. Ware Who Worked At The Rand Corporation For More Than 55 Years Was One Of The First People To Gain A Prescient View Of The Effect Computers Were Having On Society In Their Impact On Automation And The Threats They Posed To Privacy. "The Computer Will Touch Men Everywhere And In Every Way Almost On A Minute-To-Minute Basis" He Wrote In 1966. "Every Man Will Communicate Through A Computer Whatever He Does. It Will Change And Reshape His Life Modify His Career And Force Him To Accept A Life Of Continuous Change." While At Rand Mr. Ware Led An Early Pentagon Study Exploring Computer Security. Afterward He Was Asked By The Secretary Of Commerce To Lead A Committee To Address "Personal Privacy" In The Computer Era. Some Of Its Policy Recommendations Were Adopted In The Privacy Act Of 1974. Among Other Problems The Committee Dealt With The Increasing Reliance On "Universal Identifiers" Like Social Security Numbers. "Willis Ware Laid The Foundation For Modern Privacy Law. His Insight Was That In The Computer Age Organizations That Collected Private Information Would Have To Take Responsibility And Individuals Who Gave Up Personal Information Would Need To Get Rights."
