Excerpt:Andrew Leith Adams (March 21, 1827 July 29, 1882) was a Scottish physician , naturalist and geologist . He was the father of the writer Francis Adams . Life and career Adams was the son of Francis Adams (1796-1861), a surgeon and Espeth Shaw. He studied medicine and joined as an army physician in 1848, serving in the 22nd Infantry Regiment in India . Between 1849-1854 he was posted in Dagshai, Rawalpindi and Peshawar. He also served in Kashmir , Egypt , Malta (1861-1868), Gibraltar and Canada . He married Bertha Jane Grundy on 26 October 1859, who later became famous as a novelist. He spent his spare time studying the natural history of these countries. He was among the first to study the interior of Ladakh and wrote about it in "The birds of Cashmere and Ladakh". The Orange Bullfinch Pyrrhula aurantiaca was discovered by him as also the first breeding site of Brown-headed Gulls Larus brunnicephalus in the lakes of the Tibetan plateau. After his retirement from the army in 1873, Adams was professor of natural history at Trinity College, Dublin and Queen's College, Cork . He was elected a fellow of the Geographical Society in 1870 a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1872. He died of a pulmonary haemorrhage on 29 July 1883 at Rushbrook Villa (Cork). He published Wanderings of a Natura... ... Read more

Excerpt: George Boole (pronounced ) (2 November 1815 8 December 1864) was an English mathematician and philosopher. As the inventor of Boolean logicthe basis of modern digital computer logicBoole is regarded in hindsight as a founder of the field of computer science. Boole said, ... no general method for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established which does not explicitly recognise ... those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning ... George Boole's father, John Boole (17791848), was a tradesman of limited means, but of "studious character and active mind". Being especially interested in mathematical science and logic, the father gave his son his first lessons; but the extraordinary mathematical talents of George Boole did not manifest themselves in early life. At first, his favorite subject was classics. He was very weak when he was born. It was not until his successful establishment of a school at Lincoln, its removal to Waddington, and later his appointment in 1849 as the first professor of mathematics of then Queen's College, Cork in Ireland (now University College Cork, where the library, underground lecture theatre complex and the Boole Centre for Research in Informatics are named in his honour) that his mathematical skills were fully realized. In 1855 he married Mary Everest (niece of George Everest), who later, as Mrs. Boole, wrote several useful educational works on her husband's principles. To the broader public Boole was known only as the author of numerous abstruse papers on mathematical topics, and of three or fo...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=38298 ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Blaise Pascal, né le 19 juin 1623 à Clairmont (aujourd'hui Clermont-Ferrand), en Auvergne et mort le 19 août 1662 à Paris, est un mathématicien, physicien, inventeur, philosophe, moraliste et théologien français. Enfant précoce, il est éduqué par son père. Les tout premiers travaux de Pascal concernent les sciences naturelles et appliquées. Il contribue de manière importante à l'étude des fluides. Il a clarifié les concepts de pression et de vide, en étendant le travail de Torricelli. Pascal a écrit des textes importants sur la méthode scientifique. Après trois ans de développement et 50 prototypes, Il invente la machine à calculer en 1645. Denommée la Pascaline, il en construira une vingtaine d'exemplaires dans la décade suivante. Mathématicien de premier ordre, il crée deux nouveaux champs de recherche majeurs : tout d'abord il publie un traité de géométrie projective à seize ans ; ensuite il développe en 1654 une méthode de résolution du « problème des partis » qui, donnant naissance au cours du XVIIIème siècle au calcul des probabilités, influencera fortement les théories économiques modernes et les sciences sociales. Après une expérience mystique à la fin de 1654, il délaisse les mathématiques et la physique et se consacre à la réflexion philosophique et religieuse. Il écrit pendant cette période les Provinciales et les Pensées, ces dernières n'étant publiées qu'après sa mort qui survient deux mois après son 39 anniversaire, alors qu'il a ét...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Extrait : Alan Mathison Turing (23 juin 1912 - 7 juin 1954) est un mathématicien britannique, auteur de l'article fondateur de la science informatique qui allait donner le coup d'envoi à la création des calculateurs universels programmables (ordinateurs). Il y présente sa machine de Turing, le premier calculateur universel programmable, et invente les concepts de programmation et de programme. Il est également à l'origine de la formalisation des concepts d'algorithme et de calculabilité qui ont profondément marqué cette discipline. Son modèle a contribué à établir définitivement la thèse Church-Turing qui donne une définition mathématique au concept intuitif de fonction calculable. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a dirigé les recherches sur les codes secrets générés par la machine Enigma utilisée par les nazis. Après la guerre, il a travaillé sur un des tout premiers ordinateurs, puis a contribué de manière provocatrice au débat déjà houleux à cette période sur la capacité des machines à penser en établissant le test de Turing. Vers la fin de sa vie, il s'est intéressé à des modèles de morphogenèse du vivant conduisant aux « structures de Turing ». Il a été pers...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more
