Extractions: James Jeans' father was William Tullock Jeans. William Jeans was a parliamentary journalist of Scottish descent who wrote two books on the lives of scientists. The name Hopgood was James mother's maiden name; she came from the north of England. It was a very religious Christian family with James the eldest of the three children and the only boy. James' family moved to Brighton when he was eighteen months old then, when he was three years old, they moved to London. Jeans was educated in Merchant Taylor's School in London which he entered in 1890. The first topic which interested him was classics but soon his interests turned towards mathematics. An excellent mathematics teacher at the school encouraged Jeans' interest in the subject but from the time he was a young child he had shown a fascination with numbers. Several stories about his remarkable abilities as a child indicate both an interest and curiosity about numbers and an outstanding memory. Milne relates in [4] that:- His interest in numbers was early and deep-seated: he not only factorised cab-numbers, but retained in his memory the numbers that he encountered ... At the age of seven he found his father's book of logarithms, tried to discover what they were for but failed, and learnt the first twenty or so seven-figure logs by heart, and remembered them until near the end of his life.

Extractions: Died: 16 Sept 1946 in Dorking, Surrey, England James Jeans ' family moved to Brighton, then when he was 3 years old they moved to London. Jeans went to Trinity College Cambridge in 1896 and fellow student G H Hardy was in the same year. Jeans was taught as an undergraduate at Cambridge by J W L Glaisher, W W Rouse Ball, A N Whitehead, R A Herman and E T Whittaker. Both Jeans and Hardy were awarded a Smith's prize in 1901 with unspecified relative merit. That year Jeans became a Fellow of Trinity. Jeans lectured at Princeton from 1905 until 1909. During this period, in 1907, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1909 Jeans returned to England and the following year he was appointed Stokes Lecturer in Applied Mathematics at Cambridge. He only held this post until 1912 when he retired to Guildford to devote himself to mathematical research. During his career he taught in Cambridge, England and Princeton, USA and undertook research at the Mt Wilson Observatory, Pasadena, California. His work in astronomy led him to believe that Laplace's nebular hypothesis for the creation of the solar system was incorrect. Instead he proposed a tidal theory based on a star passing close to the Sun and pulling matter out which condensed into the planets.

Extractions: Jeans, Sir James Hopwood 1887-1946, English mathematician, physicist, and astronomer. He was professor of applied mathematics at Princeton Univ. (1905-9), later lectured at Cambridge (1910-12) and Oxford (1922), and was research associate at Mt. Wilson Observatory (1923-44). He was knighted in 1928. He devoted himself to mathematical physics and contributed to the dynamical theory of gases and the mathematical theory of electricity and magnetism. Going on to astrophysics and cosmogony, he solved the problem of the behavior of rotating masses of compressible fluids. He was then able to explain the behavior of certain nebulae, discuss the origins of binary stars, and describe the evolution of gaseous stars. These ideas are presented in Problems of Cosmogony and Stellar Dynamics (1919). With Harold A. Jeffreys he developed the tidal hypothesis of the origin of the earth. In 1929, Jeans abandoned research and became one of the most outstanding popularizers of science and the philosophy of science. His later works include The Universe around Us The Mysterious Universe (1930), and
