1903028837Boston And New York: Houghton Mifflin And Company 1903. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket. Frontispiece. X 424 Pp. Blue Cloth Gilt. Detailed Autobiography With Succinct Explanations Of His Own Work And That Of Others He Worked With. This Example Inscribed "From The Author" To R C Archibald Who Wrote The Official Biography And Bibliography Of Newcomb Published In The Memoirs Of The National Academy Of Sciences In 1924 And Also With The 1956 Signature Of A Prominent Jpl Astronomer Who Managed The U.S. Halley Watch Group. This Example Very Good / Near Fine Light Wear Gilt Brilliant Hinges Tight. Simon Newcomb 1835 -1909 Was A Canadian-American Astronomer Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Starting Development A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880 Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different And In 1883 Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit.I N 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy 1885 Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Personal Hostility To C. S. Pierce Son Of Newcomb's First Great Mathematics Instructor And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. <br/> <br/> Houghton, Mifflin And Company hardcover

The binding shows wear and bumping but is sound with rubbed but secure hinges. Headcap of the spine is chipped. Small wormhole near the foot of the spine. Complete with endpapers and illustrated with 5 full-page copperplate engravings collates complete as well as several smaller text woodcuts. Early owner's signature on the recto of the frontis reads "Solomon Mordecai / Warrenton North Carolina Jan.y. 1st 1804." Another early signature for "Jos. Mordecai" is at the top of the title page. The Mordecai family was an important Jewish family in eastern North Carolina in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Jacob Mordecai founded the Warrenton Female Academy in 1809 and was assisted by his son Solomon and several daughters. This title was first published in 1761 by John Newbery in England thought to have actually be written by Oliver Goldsmith under the pseudonym of Tom Telescope. It was a science book written for youth. This is the First American edition. The Second American edition of 1808 is much more common. The "Teacher of Philadelphia" referred to on the title page is believed to have been Robert Patterson Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania.

187197507New Haven: Printed by Tuttle Morehouse & Taylor 1871. 1871. Good. THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE ESSAY "ON JUPITER AND ITS SATELLITES" BY THE FIRST FEMALE ASTRONOMER IN THE U.S.A. - Octavo 8-1/2 inches high by 5-3/8 inches wide. The contemporary brown calf and marbled boards are detached but present and the spine has perished and is thus lacking. The text block is intact and tight. 978 pages in all with the pagination as follows: Volume I: pages i-viii & 1-484; and Volume II: pages i-viii & 1-480. Pages 327/328 are skipped in numbering as published which collates with the copy at the Peter H. Raven Library at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The volume is illustrated with 3 plates including one folding as well as several textual illustrations. Although the title page to the second volume indicates the presence of a map intended to illustrate E.W. Hilgard's article "On the Geological History of the Gulf of Mexico" page 391 the map is not here present if it ever was included. The endpapers are foxed and there is some light soiling to the title page of the first volume. The edges of the first few leaves are lightly darkened with a tiny spot of dampstaining to the top edge of those leaves. A very good tight copy which would be well worth rebinding. <p>Most noteworthy is the first publication of Maria Mitchell's essay "On Jupiter and its Satellites" illustrated with a plate volume I pages 393-395.<p>The first American scientist to discover a comet Maria Mitchell 1818-1889 was the first female astronomer in the United States. Working as the librarian of the Nantuckett Atheneum Maria Mitchell read through the day and spent her nights with her father at the observatory he built atop the Pacific Bank. Her discovery in 1847 of the comet which came to be named "Miss Mitchell's Comet" brought her international acclaim. She was awarded a gold medal by King Frederick of Denmark and elected as the first woman to join the American Academy of Arts and Sciences the following year. Mitchell traveled throughout Europe after leaving the Atheneum in 1856 meeting with astronomers the world over. She became involved and active in the anti-slavery movement and the suffrage movement and was subsequently instrumental in the formation of the American Association for the Advancement of Women. After the Civil War Mitchell was recruited to join the faculty at Vassar College where with a 12 inch telescope then the third largest in the US she specialized in studying the surfaces of Jupiter and Saturn. She made waves by encouraging her female students to come out at night for classes and celestial observations and brought in noted feminists including Julia Ward Howe to speak on political issues. Continuously championing the advancement of women she gave an important speech entitled "The Need for Women in Science" during the 1876 centennial. Mitchell was one of only 3 women to be elected to the Hall of Fame of Great Americans in 1905. She was also inducted into the National Woman's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls New York. A lunar crater on the moon was named in her honor.<p>Also worth noting is Professor L. Respighi's essay "On the Solar Protuberances" illustrated with a folding plate volume I pages 283-287.<p>The Italian astronomer Lorenzo Respighi 1824-1889 was appointed appointed professor of mechanics and hydraulics at the University of Bologna. In that context his first works were mathematical and included a well-known memoir on the principles of differential calculus. Captivated by astronomy he succeeded Calandrelli as director of the astronomical observatory at the University of Bologna in 1855. After making observations on comets Respighi became director of the Campidoglio observatory in Rome where he devoted his attention to studying solar phenomena. His studies of the spectra of sunspots were particularly important as he observed the splitting of the absorption lines later described by Hale as the result of the Zeeman effect.<p>Henry James Clark's essay "The American Spongilla a Craspedote Flagellate Infusorian" illustrated with a plate is here published on pages 426 through 436 of volume II.<p>The American naturalist Henry James Clark 1826-1873 was a pupil of Asa Gray at the Cambridge botanical garden. He became an assistant to Louis Agassiz after graduating from Harvard and was professor of Zoology and of Natural History at numerous colleges and universities. From 1872 until his death in 1873 Clark was Professor of Veterinary Science at the Massachusetts Agricultural College in Amherst Massachusetts. He contributed to a number of periodicals and authored "Mind in Nature" 1863 and "Mode of Development of Animals" 1865. New Haven: Printed by Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1871. hardcover

239New York: The American Physical Society. 1st Edition. 1956 FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS of the two papers that won Chamberlain and Segre the 1959 Nobel Prize for the first experimental confirmation of the antiproton a new subatomic particle identical in every way to the proton except that its electrical charge was negative instead of positive. <br /> <br /> Chamberlain and Segre's discovery was the culmination of a hunt whose origins go back to 1928 when British physicist Paul Dirac formulated a theory to describe the behavior of relativistic electrons in electric and magnetic fields. Dirac's equation was unique for its time because it took into consideration both Einstein's special theory of relativity and the effects of quantum physics as proposed by Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg to describe the behavior of slow-moving particles. While the math worked few physicists gave Dirac's equation much serious consideration because it allowed particles of negative energy. From the standpoint of both physics and common sense the energy of a particle could only be positive Yarris "The Golden Anniversary" Science at Berkeley Lab 2005. <br /> <br /> A number of physicists attempted to find the antiproton but Chamberlin and Segre were particularly clever. According to Segre "I decided to attack the problem in two ways. One was based on the determination of the charge and mass of the particle. The other concentrated on the observation of the phenomena attendant on the annihilation of a stopping antiproton. The stopping antiproton and a proton of the target should mutually annihilate each other and the rest mass of the two particles should transform itself in one of many possible ways into other particles such as pions. These would leave tracks in a photographic emulsion and the annihilation would thus become evident. . . <br /> <br /> "We started the run on August 25 1955 and after a few days of tuning up we began observing antiproton signals. We based the identification on measurement of the velocity momentum and charge of a particle. The signals for velocity were oscilloscope traces recording the passage of a particle through a velocity-selecting Cerenkov detector. . . . We detected about one antiproton for every few hundred thousand other particles crossing our apparatus. . . . We decided to write a letter to the Physical Review and an article for Nature. . . . The mass-spectrograph experiment concluded on October 1 1955 having proved the existence of the antiproton and soon thereafter the emulsion work confirmed it" Segrè A Mind Always in Motion pp. 256-57. <br /> <br /> "The antiproton also became a workhorse of experimental particle physics as scientists at CERN Fermilab etc. later spent decades smashing it into protons in racetrack-shaped accelerators and measuring the sprays of weird new particles that emerged producing what seemed to be an endless stream of Nobel Prizes" New York Times Obituary March 2 2006. According to physics Nobelist Stephen Weinberg: "If it had not been discovered the foundations of physics really would have crumbled" Dr. Weinberg said. He added that the antiproton "was something like the South Pole: it's something that you know is there but you just have to get there anyway" ibid.
