Product Description
Throughout his life Lewis Fry Richardson made many inspired contributions to various disciplines. Often his ideas were ahead of contemporary thinking, and preceded the technical means necessary for their practical implementation. He is best known for his wealth of important work on meteorology and his groundbreaking application of mathematics to the causes of war. But his field of interest was in no way limited to these and various aspects of psychology and mathematical approximation also benefited from his novel modes of thought. Richardson had a rare determination to trust his own ideas, even when they were not well received. These two volumes show that much of his thinking has long been underrated and that much of his work was ahead of its time. ... Read more

Extrait : Lewis Fry Richardson est un mathématicien, météorologiste et psychologue britannique (1881-1953). Au cours des années 1916-1918, il imagina de prévoir le temps à partir des équations primitives atmosphériques, les lois de la mécanique des fluides qui régissent les mouvements de l'air. Richardson est né le 11 octobre 1881 à Newcastle-upon-Tyne, un port industriel du nord de l'Angleterre dans une famille de quakers. On l'envoya à l'école de Bootham, ayant cette affiliation, comme pensionnaire, et il y développa son goût pour la science et l'histoire naturelle. À 19 ans, il entra au King's College (Cambridge) où il obtint un baccalauréat en sciences naturelles. Il eut comme directeur Joseph John Thomson, Prix Nobel de physique, pour sa spécialisation en physique et mathématique. Il entra au British National Physical Laboratory après ses études et enseigna au University College d'Aberystwyth (Pays de Galles). Il travailla également pour l'industrie et enseigna plus tard au Manchester College of Technology. Durant les dix premières années après ses études, il développa des techniques mathématiques pour approximer la résolution analytique des équations différentielles complexes. Il les appliqua au problème de la résolution des équations de la physique de l'atmosphère en espérant en tirer une méthode pratique. En 1913, Richardson déménagea au Eskdalemuir Observatory en Écosse et devint superintendant de l'observatoire de météorologie et de...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Wilfred Norris "Wilf" Slack (12 December 1954, Troumaca, St Vincent 15 January 1989, Banjul, The Gambia) was an English cricketer who played in three Test matches and two One Day Internationals in 1986. A left-handed opening batsman, Slack was a victim of mysterious blackouts while playing, and died, apparently of a heart attack, while batting in The Gambia, aged just 34. Slack's family migrated from the Windward Islands to High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, England when he was only 11 years old. He spent time playing cricket for various local sides, progressing into the Buckinghamshire team in 1976, at the age of 21, becoming the minor county's leading run-scorer for the season, with 748. The then Middlesex coach, Don Bennett, marked him as first-class county material, and he was signed by them the next year". Slack made his Middlesex debut in 1977, but failed to establish himself in the side, in part because he played out of position, in the middle order. When Mike Brearley, Middlesex captain and batsman, was recalled to the England s...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=3740742 ... Read more

Excerpt: Evelyn Underhill (6 December 1875 15 June 1941) was an English Anglo-Catholic writer and pacifist known for her numerous works on religion and spiritual practice, in particular Christian mysticism. In the English-speaking world, she was one of the most widely read writers on such matters in the first half of the twentieth century. No other book of its typeuntil the appearance in 1946 of Aldous Huxley's The Perennial Philosophymet with success to match that of her best-known work, Mysticism, published in 1911. Underhill was born in Wolverhampton. She was a poet and novelist, as well as being a pacifist and mystic. An only child, her early mystical insights she described as "abrupt experiences of the peaceful, undifferentiated plane of realitylike the "still desert" of the mysticin which there was no multiplicity nor need of explanation." The meaning of these experiences became a lifelong quest and source of private angst, provoking her to research and write. Both her father and her husband were writers (on the law), London barristers and yachtsmen. She and her husband, Hubert Stuart Moore, grew up together and were married on 3 July 1907. The couple had no children. She traveled regularly to th...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=459642 ... Read more

Excerpt: Alan John Percival Taylor, FBA (25 March 1906 7 September 1990) was a renowned English historian of the 20th century. Taylor was born in Birkdale, near Southport, of Scottish descent and was brought up in Lancashire. He was educated at various Quaker schools including Bootham School in York. As a student he was described by his headmasters to be brilliant and rebellious. Initially he had an interest in archaeology, and as a young man he was an amateur expert in the history and archaeology of churches in northern England. His interest in archaeology led to a strong interest in history. In 1924, he went to Oriel College, Oxford to study modern history. His wealthy parents held strongly left-wing views, which he inherited. His parents were both pacifists who vocally opposed World War I, and sent their son to Quaker schools as a way of protesting against the war. In the 1920s, Taylor's mother, Constance, was a member of the Comintern and one of his uncles a founding member of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Constance was a suffragette, feminist, and advocate of free love who practised her teachings via a string of extramarital affairs,...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=140444 ... Read more

Excerpt: Lewis Fry Richardson, FRS (11 October 1881 - 30 September 1953) was an English mathematician, physicist, meteorologist, psychologist and pacifist who pioneered modern mathematical techniques of weather forecasting, and the application of similar techniques to studying the causes of wars and how to prevent them. He is also noted for his pioneering work on fractals and a method for solving a system of linear equations known as modified Richardson iteration. Lewis Fry Richardson was the youngest of seven children born to Catherine Fry (18381919) and David Richardson (18351913). They were a prosperous Quaker family, David Richardson running a successful tanning and leather manufacturing business. At age 12 he was sent to a Quaker boarding school, Bootham in York, where he received an excellent education in science, which stimulated an active interest in natural history. In 1898 he went on to Durham College of Science (a college of Durham University) where he took courses in mathematical physics, chemistry, botany, and zoology. Two years later, he gained a scholarship to King's College, Cambridge, where he graduated with first-class honours in the natural sciences tripos in 1903. At age 47 he received a doctorate in mathematical psychology from the University of London. In 1909 he married Dorothy Garnett (18851956), daughter of the mathematician and physicist William Garnett. They were unable to have children due to an incompatibility in blood types, but they adopted two sons and a daughter between 1920 and 1927. Richardson's working life reflected his eclectic interests: In 1926, he was elected to the Fellowship of the Royal Society Richardson's Quaker beliefs entailed an ardent pacifism that exempted him from military service during World War I ...

Excerpt: Sir Francis Galton FRS (16 February 1822 17 January 1911), cousin of Sir Douglas Galton, half-cousin of Charles Darwin, was an English Victorian polymath, anthropologist, eugenicist, tropical explorer, geographer, inventor, meteorologist, proto-geneticist, psychometrician, and statistician. He was knighted in 1909. Galton had a prolific intellect, and produced over 340 papers and books throughout his lifetime. He also created the statistical concept of correlation and widely promoted regression toward the mean. He was the first to apply statistical methods to the study of human differences and inheritance of intelligence, and introduced the use of questionnaires and surveys for collecting data on human communities, which he needed for genealogical and biographical works and for his anthropometric studies. He was a pioneer in eugenics, coining the very term itself and the phrase "nature versus nurture." His book, Hereditary Genius (1869), was the first social scientific attempt to study genius and greatness. As an investigator of the human mind, he founded psychometrics (the science of measuring mental faculties) and differential psychology.
