Simon Newcomb, 1835-1909 Simon Newcomb fue uno de los primeros americanos conversos al marginalismo. Nacido en Canadá, su padre era un maestro itinerante que le enseñó aritmética a los cuatro años y le convirtió en un prodigioso matemático a pesar de no haber tenido nunca una formación académica. Newcomb es principalmente físico y astrónomo, pero desarrolló la teoría cuantitativa del dinero y fué uno de los primeros economistas en distinguir claramente entre flujos y stocks. Se opuso a los institucionalistas americanos. Firme defensor del laissez-faire, se opuso vehementemente al emergente movimiento sindicalista.

Back to Modern History Sourcebook Modern History Sourcebook: Simon Newcomb Extent Of The Universe, 1884 Introductory Note In spite of the fertility of America in mechanical invention and applied science, there are few branches of pure science in which she can be regarded as among the leading nations. Her nearest approach to preeminence has probably been in astronomy; and in this field Simon Newcomb was, at his death, the most distinguished figure. Newcomb was born in the village of Wallace, Nova Scotia, March 12, 1835. His father, who was a teacher, gave him his elementary education; and at the age of eighteen we find him teaching a country school in Maryland. Two years later, a position as computer on the "Nautical Almanac" brought him to Cambridge, Mass., where he studied in Harvard University till 1861, when he was appointed professor of mathematics in the United States Navy. He remained in the government service till he was retired as a rear admiral in 1897, having served besides as professor of mathematics and astronomy in Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, from 1884. Newcomb's chief labors were in the department of mathematical astronomy, and were directed toward the explanation of the observed movements of the heavenly bodies. The difficulty and complexity of the calculations involved are beyond the conception of the layman; and the achievements which brought Newcomb honors from the learned of almost all civilized countries have to be taken on trust by the general. He had, nevertheless, an admirable power of clear exposition of those parts of his subject which were capable of popularization; and the accompanying paper is a good example of the simple treatment of a large subject.

Simon Newcomb, 1835-1909. Simon Newcomb was one of America's earliest (but not complete) converts to the Marginalist Revolution . But he was neither an economist by training nor vocation. Rather, Newcomb was a renowned Johns Hopkins mathematician, physicist and astronomer who had risen from rags to intellectual riches. Nonetheless, he was equipped to help economics along its mathematical track. Newcomb was also one of the main developers of the Quantity Theory of Money (before Fisher ) and was among the first economists to distinguish carefully between stocks and flows and, in doing so, provided the earliest clean statement of the theory of loanable funds On the whole, Newcomb was not necessarily a very nice person. He was the quintessential American apologist and a steadfast opponent of the Institutionalist school. He engaged Richard T. Ely in a particularly nasty Methodenstreit in the 1880s and 1890s, eventually being instrumental in securing the latter's departure from Johns Hopkins and the transformation of the American Economic Association into a wider professional organization.

Simon Newcomb (1835-1909) Newcomb was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, and was apprenticed to a quack doctor at the age of 16. Apart from the two or three years he spent as an apprentice, Newcomb received little or no formal education. At 16 he ran away to Maryland in the US, where he became a country schoolmaster. Deciding that he wanted to work with mathematics, he enrolled and received his degree from the Lawrence science school of Harvard University in 1858. In 1861, Newcomb worked at the Naval Observatory at Washington, DC, and in the 16 years he was there he worked at determining the position of celestial bodies. When, in 1877 he was put in charge of the American Nautical Almanac office, he began calculating the motions of the bodies in the solar system. This work was to prove outstandingly accurate, and was used as a daily reference around the world for over 50 years. Newcomb's greatest contribution was to establish with Arthur Matthew Weld Downing, a universal standard system of astronomical constants. This system, which was mostly Newcomb's is still in practical use today, as are his tables of data concerning various celestial bodies. Back

He obtained a job (1857) in the American Nautical Almanac Office (in Cambridge, Mass. at that time). He studied at Harvard graduating in 1858. In 1861 Newcomb was appointed to the Naval Observatory at Washington. He spent the next10 years determining the positions of celestial objects using various telescopes including a 26-inch refractor telescope which had just been built. In 1877 Newcomb became director of the American Nautical Almanac Office (by this time in Washington). He then started his most important work which, in his own words, gave ... a systematic determination of the constants of astronomy from the best existing data, a reinvestigation of the theories of the celestial motions, and the preparation of tables, formulae, and precepts for the construction of ephemerides, and for other applications of the same results. The reason he undertook this work was because of the ... confusion which pervaded the whole system of exact astronomy, arising from the diversity of the fundamental data made use of by the astronomers of foreign countries and various institutions in their work.

Simon Newcomb Rear Admiral, United States Navy Born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, on March 12, 1835, he was educated privately. He came to the United States in 1853 and was appointed computer on Nautical Almanac in 1857. He graduated from Lawrence Scientific School of Harvard College in 1858 and appointed Professor of Mathematics, United States Navy, in 1861, assigned to duty at the Naval Observtory in Washington. In 1894, he also became professor of mathematics-Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. A many of many US and foreign scientific societies. He made numerous astronomical discoveries and published more than 100 scientific papers. His stone in section 1 of Arlington National Cemetery reads: "Profesor of Mathematics, United States Navy, 1835-1909. The heavens declare this glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handiwork." His daughter, Anita Newcomb McGee i s also buried in this gravesite. NEWCOMB, Simon, astronomer, born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, 12 March, 1835. He is the son of a teacher of American descent, whose ancestors had settled in Canada in 1761, and who came to the United States in 1852. Simon was the eldest son, and, after being educated by his father, taught for some time.

Newcomb, Simon Canadian-born US mathematician and astronomer who compiled charts and tables of astronomical data with phenomenal accuracy. His calculations of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System were in use as daily reference all over the world for more than 50 years, and the system of astronomical constants for which he was most responsible is still the standard. Newcomb was born in Wallace, Nova Scotia, and had little or no formal education. In his teens he ran away to the USA, and eventually enrolled at Harvard. In 1861 he joined the navy, where he was assigned to the US Naval Observatory at Washington DC, and in 1877 put in charge of the American Nautical Almanac office. From 1884 he was also professor of mathematics and astronomy at Johns Hopkins University. He retired with the rank of rear admiral. At the Nautical Almanac office, Newcomb started the great work that was to occupy the rest of his life: the calculation of the motions of the bodies in the Solar System. The results were published in Astronomical Papers Prepared for the Use of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, a series that he founded 1879. With his British counterpart Arthur Matthew Weld Downing (1850-1917), Newcomb established a universal standard system of astronomical constants. This was adopted at an international conference 1896, and again 1950.

19. The American Apologists The American Apologists Gen. Francis A.Walker, 18401897. Simon Newcomb, 1835-1909.John Bates Clark, 1847-1938. Charles Franklin Dunbar, 1830-1900. http://cepa.newschool.edu/het/schools/apologist.htm

The American Apologists The "American Apologists" is the only term we could come up to describe late 19th Century and early 20th Century American arch-conservative economists and social scientists. Although there had been earlier American economists of considerable reputation, such as Henry C. Carey and Daniel Raymond , a distinctive American economics only really came into "being" in the 1870s with the work of Francis A. Walker . For the next forty years or so, the American economics scene was dominated by an "orthodoxy" which followed on the heels of Walker. This orthodoxy was rather theoretically loose, hovering between Classical and Neoclassical economic theory. It was in their applied work and policy stance that they distinguished themselves most clearly. The last quarter of the 19th Century was a particularly trying time for the United States. Financial panics, agricultural crises, the rise of the railroad and related industries like iron and steel had upturned the American economic landscape. The concentration of ownership and predatory methods of the new industries the "trusts" had raised a few eyebrows. But so did the agrarian crusades and radicalized trade unions which rose to meet them. Much blood was spilt in the capital-labor confrontations of the stormy 1880s. It was also around this time that populist American reformers like Henry George , the Bimetallists and the Progressivists began to get active. Economists were called on to take sides and take sides they did.
