The truth about Rafael Bombelli IHMT survivors: A number of you asked for the text of the talk that Dan Curtin gave at Mikatos on Thursday evening. Here it is. Why Didn't Bombelli Pose Fermat's Last Theorem ? At the suggestion of V. Fred Rickey and Victor Katz, the Bombelli Team continued its epoch-making (or is it episteme-making) work in the History of Mathematics by addressing this new problem. You will be surprised where this led us. Last year, we clearly established Bombelli's Irish origins. The veterans among us will also recall that Rafael Bombelli was born under the name of Rafael Mazolli, but he had to change his name after some events involving treachery, intrigue and jealous husbands. So we searched the stacks of the Artemis Martin Collection here at American University and found Rafael Bombelli's personal diary for the years 1575 to 1577, and found that Bombelli had not entirely forsaken his given name, but had invested his original family's fortune in a margerine company, and used the profits to finance a trip to the New World. This makes, not J.J Sylvester, nor even Benjamin Banneker the first important mathematician in America, but Rafael Bombelli ! Moreover, while he was here, he also founded the city of Misoula, Montana, making that city the second oldest city in the United States, behind St. Augustine, Florida.

25. Complex Numbers This cubic has real solutions, The challenge of figuring this problem out was takenon by the hydraulic engineer rafael bombelli (15261572) almost thirty http://www.und.edu/instruct/lgeller/complex.html

Complex Numbers The usual definition of complex numbers is all numbers of the form a+b i , where a and b are real numbers and i , the imaginary unit, is a number such that its square is -1. This gives no insight to where these came from nor why they were invented. In fact, the evolution of these numbers took about three hundred years. In 1545 Jerome Cardan , an Italian mathematician, physician, gambler, and philosopher published a book called Ars Magna The Great Art ). In this he described an algebraic procedure for solving cubic and quartic equations. He also proposed a problem that dealt more with quadratics. He wrote: If some one says to you, divide 10 into two parts, one of which multiplied into the other shall produce...40, it is evident that this case or question is impossible. Nevertheless, we shall solve it in this fashion. Cardan essentially applied the method of completing the square to x + y = 10 and xy = 40 (x - 10x + 40 = 0) to get the numbers, He multiplied these numbers and got 40. After that, he didn't do much else with this and concluded that the result was "as subtle as it is useless." Complex numbers did not come about from this example, but in connection with the solution to cubic equations.

Alessandro Home Page Rafael Bombelli A insuficiência dos números Reais A utilização da fórmula de Cardano para solução de equações de 3º grau em problemas práticos logo começou a apresentar resultados que desafiavam o entendimento dos matemáticos da época. Seja por exemplo a equação x - 15x - 4 = . Por simples verificação constata-se que x = 4 é uma de suas raízes ( as outras duas menos evidentes, são -2+ 3 e -2- 3). Entretanto se tentarmos resolvê-la pela fórmula de Cardano , teremos e caímos não apenas na extração de raízes quadradas de números negativos, mas também na extração de raízes cúbicas de números de natureza desconhecida. Esta é uma questão que não poderia ser ignorada. Quando nas equações de 2º grau obtínhamos raízes de números negativos, era fácil justificar que aquilo indicava a inexistência de soluções. Agora, entretanto, estava-se diante de equações com soluções evidentes, mas cuja determinação passava pela extração de raízes quadradas de números negativos. O que ocorria com a equação x - 15x - 4 = pode ser generalizado. Seja o polinomio

31. My Research I therefore constructed an isometry invariant notion of closeness between two Lorentzianstructures, generalizing the ideas of Luca bombelli, rafael D. Sorkin http://cage.rug.ac.be/~jnoldus/work.html

My research interests My research interests can be situated is a few areas of physics and mathematical physics. I'm especially focused on General Relativity and the main approaches to the quantisation theirof. Concerning quantum gravity, I am mainly interested in the Causal Set approach of Sorkin and the canonical setting of Ashtekhar. Because I believe that in an ulitmate theory of the universe diffeomorphism invariance is a key ingredient, string theory belongs not to my area of study however I am interested in it from the mathematical point of view. A way to define a quantum dynamics on Causal Sets might be provided by doing noncommutative geometry on a countable set of points. For this last reason and because noncommutative geometry is a tool which will give a total aternate definition of what space-time really is, I have convinced myself to spend as much of my free time as possible in learning this -for me at first- exotic subject. A good introduction to the subject can again be found on the homepage of Lieven Lebruyn I still want to mention some books I think are very good for everyone who wants a good introduction into the field: Concerning Lie algebra's and Liegroups: Lie algebra's by Zhe-Xian Wan, Pergamon Press, Oxford

L'algebra geometrica degli antichi Greci Dalla geometrizzazione dell'Algebra all'algebrizzazione della Geometria: prima di Descartes, Rafael Bombelli, analisi di passi della sua Algebra Precedente Bombelli e la risoluzione delle equazioni , di M. Bartoloni] Contrariamente a quanto si era creduto per secoli, l’Algebra viene vista degna di un primato nei confronti della Geometria , con la sua visione di una “matematica universale”, per la costruzione della sua nuova geometria analitica:arrivando in tal modo a capovolgere il punto di vista della matematica classica ed aprendo il campo alle investigazioni di Newton e Leibniz sulla “Metafisica del calcolo”, ovvero alla trattazione in forme algebriche del calcolo infinitesimale. In merito alle considerazioni precedenti, va segnalata l’opera del bolognese Rafael Bombelli (1526 ca. - 1573), del quale commenteremo qualche passo tratto dalla sua Algebra. Considerazioni tratte da E. Bortolotti. “L’Algebra” del Bombelli : il Libro II studio dei polinomi algebrici e delle equazioni algebriche dei primi quattro gradi. Alle definizioni seguono le regole del calcolo, da noi oggi usate per il prodotto, la potenza, la radice, il quoziente dei monomi algebrici.

Rafaello Bombelli (Italien,1526-1573) Rafael Bombelli, né à Bologne en janvier ne reçut aucune éducation universitaire. Il fût l’élève d’un ingénieur. Architecte Pier Francesco Clémenti, aussi ce n’est peut-être pas étonnant que Rafael en fasse sa passion. Bombelli devint ingénieur et ses nombreux projets furent mis en valeur. Il a travaillé de nombreuses années pour Alessandro Rufini (dernier évêque de Melfi). En , la réparation du pont de Santa Maria à Rome fût un échec. Bombelli fût le premier à additionner et multiplier les nombres complexes. Il démontra, en utilisant ses méthodes, que des solutions réelles aux équations du 3° degré auraient pu être obtenues à partir de la formule de Cardan même lorsque la formule donne une expression qui associe les racines carrées imaginaires des nombres négatifs. En Bombelli écrivit sa seule publication: « Algébra Algébra » ne fût publié qu’à partir de Son livre a permis l’expansion de l’algèbre vers l’univers des nombres complexes.

E qual è quella giusta? Proviamo a chiederlo direttamente all’inventore dei numeri complessi. Rafael Bombelli (1526-1572), Matematico bolognese. Utilizzò per primo, nella sua opera principale, L’Algebra quelli che oggi chiamiamo immaginari puri , precisandone le regole di calcolo aritmetico. I numeri complessi nascono dunque come simboli numerici della forma z=a+ib (con a,b numeri reali), per i quali sono così definiti la somma ed il prodotto: a ib a' ib' a a' i b b' a ib a' ib' aa' bb' i ab' a'b Ecco la risposta giusta.
