Percy Alexander MacMahon Born: 26 Sept 1854 in Malta Died: 25 Dec 1929 in Bognor-Regis, England Percy MacMahon was born into a military family. His father was Brigadier-General P W MacMahon and, it is interesting to note that as a young child he had a fascination with the way that the ammunition was stacked. This early mathematical interest, before he even knew what mathematics was, is typical of many who go on to became leading mathematicians. MacMahon was educated at school in Cheltenham and was always destined for a military career. In February 1871 he entered Woolwich as a gentleman cadet, and in the following year he became a Lieutenant. After his education at Woolwich, he served in India and Malta for five years before returning to England and teaching in military academies. Promoted to Captain in 1881, he was appointed as Instructor in Mathematics at the Royal Military Academy the following year. He held this post until 1888 when he became Assistant Inspector at the Arsenal. After three years he was appointed as Instructor in Physics at the Artillery College, being promoted to Professor of Physics there before he retired from the services in 1898. Even before he retired from the Artillery College, MacMahon had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1890. He served as President of the London Mathematical Society from 1894-96 and then took on a number of different roles. In 1901 he served as President of Section A of the British Association for its meeting in Glasgow then, from 1902 to 1914, he was one of the Secretaries to the British Association. From 1906 to 1920 he served as Deputy Warden of the Standards of the Board of Trade.

This operator is implemented in the Mathematica Package Omega which was developped by A. Riese. This is joint work with G. E. Andrews (Penn State University) and A. Riese (RISC-Linz). Introduction Mac Mahon devoted many pages of his famous book ``Combinatorial Analysis'' [ ] to W -calculus. Netherveless this method was not used for 85 years except by Stanley in 1973 [ ].

58. Kadon Enterprises, More About Edgematching of colormatching tiles based on all the permutations of colors on their edges datesfrom 1926, when the British mathematician Major percy macmahon invented and http://www.gamepuzzles.com/moredge.htm

More about edgematching The idea of fitting matching or complementary tiles together is as old as dominoes, movable picture blocks, and jigsaw puzzles. The concept of colormatching tiles based on all the permutations of colors on their edges dates from 1926, when the British mathematician Major Percy MacMahon invented and introduced Three-Color Squares and Four-Color Triangles as "mathematical pastimes." MacMahon divided squares and triangles into triangles to give each edge of a piece its own color (see Kadon's Multimatch I and III), in all possible combinations. Each set contains 24 different tiles, and MacMahon discovered that they could form a single figure with all adjacent edges matching and just one color all around the outside border. Other adjacency conditions can also be explored. The most extensive research into these sets, over three decades, was done by Wade Philpott of Lima, OH, who identified all the possible symmetrical shapes that MacMahon squares and triangles could solve with both matching edge colors and uniform border color, and who calculated all the numbers of solutions for the MacMahon squares' 4x6 rectangle. These findings are included in the rule books for Kadon's Multimatch I and Multimatch III. Another extensive researcher is Toby Gottfried , whose pioneering work in computer-derived solutions for the corner-colored squares (Multimatch II) won him an honors degree in computer science in 1972. Toby's program back then took 500 hours to accomplish what his 1999 computer can whip out in 2 minutes. You can see his results and play some puzzles and games on his joyous website, though you'll need Java applets plug-ins for the interactive parts. His latest research explores wrap-around solutions for Multimatch II's 3x8 and 4x6 rectangles. For the latter he has found 180 cylindrical solutions. One is shown at right.

Kadon Enterprises, Inc., Wade Philpott Profile Profile and description of his mathematical games and puzzles.Category Science Math Recreations...... was a name Wade chose for the set of 24 square tiles based on macmahon's ThreeColorSquares, originally proposed by the British mathematician, percy macmahon. http://www.gamepuzzles.com/wade.htm

Puzzle explorer: Wade Philpott Wade Philpott (1918-1985) was born in Sunnyside, Washington, as Chester Wade Edwards. He was adopted by his aunt and uncle, Viola and George Philpott, in 1921, and his name was changed to Wade Edward Philpott. He graduated from Ohio Northern University with a degree in engineering and became a Registered Engineer in Ohio. His work included design of printing calculators and business machines. Multimatch and Sweep Multimatch I Multimatch was a name Wade chose for the set of 24 square tiles based on MacMahon's Three-Color Squares, originally proposed by the British mathematician, Percy MacMahon. Wade's research broke new ground in identifying all the symmetrical shapes that could be solved according to MacMahon's twin criteria of matching edge colors and forming a uniform border color. Wade also pioneered the use of computer search programs for identifying all possible solutions to a given puzzle shape. In 1982 Philpott arranged with Kadon to market his original cardboard version of Multimatch. Later, Kadon also produced the set in handcrafted, lasercut acrylic as Multimatch I , the first in a series of four edgematching puzzles bearing the name "Multimatch."
