41. Rare Math Books At The University Of Michigan oughtred, william, 15751660. He was a guide for mountain-climbers, and woe untohim who lacked nerve. So wrote Florian Cajori in william oughtred. http://www.lib.umich.edu/spec-coll/colldev/rick.html

Rare Math Books at the University of Michigan The University of Michigan Library started with 3707 volumes (purchased for $5000), including Audubon's "The Birds of America" (1827-38). It offered little mathematics and grew slowly. A major improvement came in 1881 when a complete run of Crelle's Journal was donated. Two faculty made important contributions to the mathematics collection. Alexander Ziwet, who was on the faculty from 1898 to 1925, worked to improve the library and contributed a large collection of his own books. Louis C. Karpinski, on the faculty from 1904 to 1948, gathered many rare volumes for the mathematics collection. Another important influence occurred in 1964 when Mathematical Reviews moved to Ann Arbor. Today the mathematics collection at the University of Michigan is one of the best in the world. The collection of rare mathematics books is outstanding. The titles listed below in chronological order were selected by V. Frederick Rickey, of Bowling Green State University, to show to a history of mathematics course taught at Michigan State University by Dan Chazan on March 11, 1996. We would like to thank Peggy Daub, Head of Special Collections and curator of the mathematics collection at the library for her assistance.

Earliest Uses of Symbols for Trigonometric and Hyperbolic Functions Last revision: Oct. 1, 2000 Sine. In 1583, Thomas Fincke (or Finck) (1561-1656) used sin. (with a period) in Book 14 of his Geometria rotundi. Cajori writes that "perhaps the first use of abbreviations for the trigonometric lines goes back to ... Finck" (Cajori vol. 2, page 150). In 1624, Edmund Gunter (1581-1626) used sin (without a period) in a drawing representing Gunter's scale (Cajori vol. 2, page 156). However, the symbol does not appear in Gunter's work published the same year. In 1626, Girard designated the sine of A by A, and the cosine of A by a (Smith vol. 2, page 618). In a trigonometry published by Richard Norwood in London in 1631, the author states that "in these examples s stands for sine t for tangent sc for sine complement tc for tangent complement sc for sine complement tc for tangent complement sec for secant " (Smith vol. 2, page 618). In 1632, William Oughtred (1574-1660) used sin (without a period) in Addition vnto the Vse of the Instrvment called the Circles of Proportion (Cajori vol. 1, page 193, and vol. 2, page 158).

SURREY PEOPLE WILLIAM OUGHTRED 1574 - 1660 William Oughtred sleeps where he died, the last fifty years of his life was spent as the parson at Albury. He was born at Eton in 1574 and he went from the college there to Cambridge where it was discovered that he was a genius for mathematics. While an undergraduate there he wrote his Easy Method of Mathematical Dialling, which was translated into Latin by Sir Christopher Wren, who was at the time at Oxford. Oughtred was ordained in the the church in 1603 and came to Albury from Shalford in 1610 where he married and attended to his parish, and also spent time working away at his problem with an ink-horn fixed to his bed head and a tinderbox and candle by his side, ready to record a solution of his difficulties. Night after night would be spent working out a problem, and his most famous work embodied practically all that was known of algebra and arithmetic, and included Oughtred's invention, the X for multiplication, and the

William Oughtred was born in Eton; Buckinghamshire, England attended Eton School, and King's College Cambridge. He received his B.A. in 1596 and his M.A. in 1600. Oughtred's wrote Clavis Mathematicae that included a description of Hindu-Arabic notation and decimal fractions. The text was written for instruction of his pupil, the son of the Earl of Arundel and published in 1631. This text was read by a young Isaac Newton and was Newton’s introduction to mathematics. Oughtred is best known for his invention of the slide rule. He was an ordained minister. He may also have been a surveyor and an alchemist.

Next: Algebra and Analytical Engines Up: A Brief History of Algebra and Computing: An Eclectic Oxonian View Previous: The Origins of Algebra Early English Algebra In the first half of the 16th century, Cuthbert Tonstall (1474-1559) and Robert Recorde (1510?-1558) were two of the foremost English mathematicians . They were the first mathematicians at the University of Cambridge whose lives have been recorded in any detail and as such may be considered founders of one of the most important centres of mathematics in the world. Both migrated to Oxford University during their careers. Robert Recorde, perhaps the more important of the two, became a Fellow of All Souls College at Oxford in 1531. The earliest use of the word algebra may be found in Recorde's Pathway of Knowledge (1551) in which he wrote: Also the rule of false position, with dyvers examples not onely vulgar, but some appertayning to the rule of Algebra. In 1557 he introduced the equality sign ` ' in his Whetstone of Witte , chosen ``bicause noe 2 thynges can be moare equalle'' (than two parallel lines of the same length). The symbols ` ' and ' were introduced for the first time in print in John Widman 's Arithmetic (Leipzig, 1489), but only came into general use in England after Recorde's

The following information was taken from the Oughtred Society's brochure: "The Oughtred Society was formed in 1991 to serve the needs of the growing number of slide rule collectors and historians. Their objective is to promote an understanding and appreciation of the slide rule as a calculating instrument and to explore its history. The Society takes its name from William Oughtred (1574-1660), the inventor of the slide rule. From a nucleus of 11 charter members the Society has grown to become a worldwide organization with over 400 members. It has established a journal, a biannual swapsheet and a series of popular annual meetings of collectors." "The Oughtred Society invites you to become a member and explore the history of the slide rules and their makers, learn more about the many types of slide rules and their uses, and buy, sell or trade with other members to enhance your collection." "As a member of The Oughtred Society you will receive: Two issues of the Oughtred Society Journal (Spring and Fall) Free listings in the biannual swapsheet Two issues of the swapsheet (Winter and Summer) The current directory of Oughtred Society members An invitation to the Society's annual meeting Notice of other meetings of slide rule collectors, both in the U.
