Quarterly Newsletter of The New England Skeptical Society The New England Journal of Skepticism is published quarterly by the NESS. Articles cover a broad range of topics around a general theme of skepticism. A recent issue of the NEJS featured articles about: The Design Inference Dr. Steven Novella “Intelligent Design is partly a necessary reaction on the part of creationists to the stunning success of evolutionary theory. ” Interview with Todd Carroll -by Perry DeAngelis "We've got all these people who claim to be doing test, scientific tests on things that I don't believee you can test, I think they're ,atters of faith". Out of Body Experiences and the Astral Hypothesis -by Bob Novella "When a theory becomes increasingly complex to account for troublesome data, a red flag should be raised indicating that it's time for Occam's Razor to draw some blood." Religion and Medicine: The Christian Science Holocaust -Gerald Bergman, Ph. D. “In a 39 year period, Simpson (1991) compared SDA and Christian Scientist graduates and found a stunning difference: for the male cohort that graduated in 1945 to 1946, the death rate among the Christian Scientist graduates was over 4 times greater and for females it was almost 5 times greater.” Contributions Welcome - Please send us your ideas for future articles or investigations, original contributions, or letters to the editor.

Physics Timeline for Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Nicole Long Susquehanna University '04 Aristotle http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/PictDisplay/Aristotle.html 400 BC – 300 BC Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) studied matter, change, movement, space, position, and time over his lifetime and wrote many philosophical and metaphysical books including Physica (Kuhn 10). Aristotle thought that the motion of bodies held back understanding of gravitation for a long time. He believed that force could only be applied by contact, a force from a distance was impossible, and in order for a body to remain in uniform motion a constant force was needed (123). Nicole Oresme http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/PictDisplay/Oresme.html 1300 AD – 1400 AD Jean Buridan (? – 1358) wrote two commentaries on De Caelo , a natural philosophy book by Aristotle, which dealt with the universe, the planets, and sublunar motion (the motion of heavy and light objects). The first commentary explained exactly what Aristotle meant in the book and the second described a set of difficult problems and then their solution. Buridan included problems about whether the planets moved without friction, whether the earth is at rest in the center of the universe and what is the cause of the tides (119-120). Nicole Oresme (1323 – 1382) opposed the theory of the Earth being stationary as proposed by Aristotle and he even taught about the motion of the Earth. This was 200 years before Copernicus would popularize the notion. However, Oresme later rejected his own ideas.

The John Rylands University Library Special Collection Guide MATHEMATICAL PRINTED COLLECTION 1,000 items (dispersed). The Library has a wide range of printed works which chart the history of mathematics, from ancient times to the 19th century. All the eminent Greek mathematicians are represented in early or significant editions: Pythagoras, with two editions of Hierocles’ commentary on his Carmina Aurea , printed by Bartholomaeus de Valdezoccho (Padua, 1474) and Arnold Pannartz (Rome, 1475); Aristotle, with the first edition of the complete works in Greek (Aldus, Venice, 1495-98); Euclid, with copies of the first edition of the Elements , printed by Ratdolt in a Latin translation (Venice, 1482), the first edition of the Greek text printed by Hervagius (Basel, 1533), and the first English translation by Sir Henry Billingsley (1570); and Archimedes, with the first edition by Hervagius (Basel, 1544). Boethius made Latin redactions of a number of Greek scientific writings in around 500 AD. The Library has over fifty editions of his works, the earliest being the De Consolatione Philosophiae (Savigliano, 1470).

73. Earliest Uses Of Symbols Of Operation nicole d' Oresme (13231382) may have used a figure which looks like a plussymbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et (meaning and ) in Algorismus http://members.aol.com/jeff570/operation.html

Earliest Uses of Symbols of Operation Last revision: March 25, 2002 ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION SYMBOLS Plus (+) and minus (-). Nicole d' Oresme (1323-1382) may have used a figure which looks like a plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et (meaning "and") in Algorismus proportionum, believed to have been written between 1356 and 1361. The symbol appears in a manuscript of this work believed to have been written in the fourteenth century, but perhaps by a copyist and not Oresme himself. The symbol appears, for example, in the sentence: "Primi numeri sesquiterti sunt .4. et .3., et primi numeri sev termini sesquialtere sunt .3. et .2." [Dic Sonneveld]. The plus symbol as an abbreviation for the Latin et , though appearing with the downward stroke not quite vertical, was found in a manuscript dated 1417 (Cajori). The + and - symbols first appeared in print in Mercantile Arithmetic or , by Johannes Widmann (born c. 1460), published in Leipzig in 1489. However, they referred not to addition or subtraction or to positive or negative numbers, but to surpluses and deficits in business problems (Cajori vol. 1, page 128). Here is an image of the first use in print of the + and - signs

Qu’est-ce que c’est pour moi la philosophie ? Jean CELEYRETTE UMR Savoirs et Textes ( CNRS-Université de Lille III) Introduction Il me faut évidemment commencer par remercier Pierre Macherey pour son invitation et dire à quel point je ressens comme un honneur, redoutable, alors que je ne suis pas philosophe d’être invité à répondre à la question « Qu’est-ce que c’est pour moi la philosophie » et ce après Francis Wolff et Etienne Balibar . Honneur mais aussi piège car il paraîtrait ridicule de prétendre dire après eux ce que je pense qu’est la philosophie. Heureusement l’un et l’autre ont commencé par critiquer la formulation de P.Macherey et c’est de cette critique que je partirai. Macherey a approuvée. A la fin de l’exposé je laisserai donc l’auditoire décider du caractère plus ou moins philosophique des interrogations que je vous aurai présentées. Quant à E.Balibar après avoir souligné le caractère violent de la question posée, l’expression « pour moi » lui paraissant formulée de façon à bloquer toute échappatoire, il en envisage plusieurs interprétations qu’il se refuse à traiter. La réponse qu’il donne est alors finalement à la question : « Qu’est-ce que c’est, pour moi, Etienne Balibar , la philosophie » ; et il s’appuie pour cela sur son texte d’habilitation « la contradiction infinie », texte dans lequel il présente son parcours philosophique en récapitulant les problèmes généraux qu’il avait abordés à cette date (1993) dans son œuvre.

In order to begin understa nding what a harmonic series really is, we first need to understand an Infinite Series and a p-Series. To skip sections, click the hyperlinks below. Infinite Series P-Series What Is The Harmonic Series? History And Advancement of The Harmonic Series Infinite Series a n That is, is an infinite series. T he number a n is the “n th term in the series. Back To Top The p-Series The p-series takes the form where p is a real constant. The series converges when The series diverges when p and when (Prof. Mabrouk, classnotes 2002) Back To Top What is the Harmonic Series ? The Harmonic Series is the p-series where p=1: Since this is a p-series where p 1, the series will diverge. Want Proof? click here It is the most famous divergent series in mathematics! The divergence of the harmonic series is very slow-it takes the first 178,482,301 terms for the sum of the series to reach just approximately 20! The Harmonic Series’ divergence is very sensitive-if p = 1.000000001 then the series will converge (Thomas, p. 640—642)
