   Extractions: P G Tait 's father was John Tait and his mother was Mary Ronaldson. John Tait was a secretary to Walter Francis Scott, the fifth duke of Buccleuch. Peter had two sisters and he began his schooling in the Grammar School in Dalkeith. However, when he was six years old his father died and Peter, with his two sisters and his mother, moved to Edinburgh to live with an uncle John Ronaldson. An Edinburgh banker, John Ronaldson was nevertheless interested in science, in particular in astronomy, geology and with the newly invented photography. He soon interested his young nephew Peter in these subjects and it is fair to say that Peter's interest in science was a direct consequence of his uncle's enthusiasm for the sciences. When the family moved to Edinburgh Peter, of course, had to leave his school in Dalkeith. He next attended a private school in Circus Place Edinburgh, then in 1841, when he was ten years old, he entered Edinburgh Academy. Lewis Campbell, who later became the professor of Greek at the University of St Andrews, and James Clerk Maxwell were one year above Tait at the Academy. In fact

G. Tait in 1883. Freddie was Peter Guthrie Tait's third son; he was British Amateur Golf Champion in 1896 and 1898, and was killed in the Boer War in 1900.

   http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/people/famousfirst832.html
   
   Extractions: Physicist. Born in Dalkeith. He was educated at the Edinburgh Academy with James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79), who became a life-long friend. Tait was appointed to the Chair of Natural Philosophy at Edinburgh (1860), a position for which Maxwell had been a candidate. With William Thomson (1824 - 1907), Tait wrote the important Treatise on Natural Philosophy , published in 1867. Jointly with Balfour Stewart, he wrote The Unseen Universe (1867) which was in such demand that they followed it with a sequel Paradoxical Philosophy (1878). Tait also wrote a classic paper on the trajectory of golf balls! He died in Edinburgh. The Tait Professorship of Mathematical Physics remains an established Chair within the University of Edinburgh.

Les deux premières à gauche sont laissées libres ; les pièces sont placées en alternance dans les huit autres. On déplace deux pièces voisines à la fois sur deux cases vides adjacentes sans les intervertir et sans tenir compte de la longueur du saut. Le but est de regrouper sur une ligne continue les quatre souverains et les quatre shillings. Tait proposait de le faire en quatre mouvements.

   Extractions: THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS Provisional Bibliography of Peter Guthrie Tait Compiled by Chris Pritchard PETER GUTHRIE TAIT (1831-1901): CENTENARY MEETING The Royal Society of Edinburgh July 2001 CONTENTS Introduction General Tait's Books Tait's Addresses ... Miscellaneous Introduction In contrast to his illustrious compatriots, Maxwell and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), the life and scientific work of Peter Guthrie Tait has been the subject of relatively little research. This booklet has been prepared in the hope that it will stimulate interest among historians of science and provide a starting point for their enquiries. Tait’s biographer, Knott, catalogues some 365 papers, articles, laboratory notes, reviews and obituaries, together with two volumes of collected papers. The books that Tait wrote, in whole or in part, are also listed (see below: Knott, 1911, 351-365). This remains the most authoritative guide to the primary material of one of the nineteenth century’s most colourful scientists, though the biography that precedes it is a study in hagiography. The Royal Society Catalogue of Papers is another useful source.

Following up of Kelvin's suggestion that atoms were composed of tiny strings knotted in various configurations, Tait made the first systematic study of knots and their properties.
