The article is signed "B.N."<p>The Dutch philosopher mathematician and physician Bernard Nieuwentyt 1654-1718 was also a theologian and a magistrate who held office as mayor of Purmerend.

Appointed a lecturer of experimental philosophy at Hart Hall Keill lectured on Newton's laws of motion the principles of hydrostatics and optics and on light and colors. As an astronomer he published an "Examination of Dr. Burnet's Theory of the Earth" taking to task Burnet Descartes Spinoza Hobbes and Malebranche. Taking on the role of Newton's chief defender he later became embroiled in the controversy regarding Leibniz's alleged plagiarisation of Newton's calculus. A la Haye [The Hague]: Chez T.

1787List2432Maryland 1787. One Volume. “Arithmetic Book.†Brewer Joseph Newton. Maryland: June 17 1786 - April 211789 or after. Folio half calf bdg contemporary or old boards; scuffed and chipped and bumped later rebacking. 80 folio sheets of which 15 blank with seated Brittania watermarks. 135 pages mss text in brown ink original manuscript pagination recto-verso sgd and dated on front pastedown; internally toned some closed tears. Near Fine. This manuscript journal comprises an 18th-century American student’s mathematics course from 1786 - 1789. The author Joseph Brewer signs and dates the journal on the front pastedown but he never mentions his hometown or his parentage. It is only in the last exercises of 1789 that he reveals himself more fully as “Joseph Newton Brewer†and further firmer internal evidence regarding this identity is wanting. However inasmuch as he was ostensibly a student in his mid-teens at the time of composition and makes frequent reference to Maryland in numerous exercises in his book it is likely that he was Joseph Nathaniel Newton Brewer January 10 1771 - January 8 1841 of Edgewater Anne Arundel MD. Marriage and birth certificates found among online genealogical corpora do corroborate this.<br /> <br /> Joseph Brewer’s “Arithmetic Book†is noteworthy among other extant 18th-century curricular manuscripts because it showcases a variety of word problems all of which relate explicitly to period themes. There are expected school subjects such as fractions and decimals and practice tables but most of Brewer’s assignments are more practical in scope. They treat topics of an especially economic even mercantile nature including problems of currency conversion; partnership exchange and barter; loss and gain; legacies and wills; land and surveying. <br /> <br /> The commodities Brewer emphasizes his math exercises are also of interest as they<br /> emphasize in most instances prestige goods and other expensive imports e.g. beer rum<br /> chocolate gold dust coffee and tobacco. He writes in one example “Three merchants A. B. & C. freight a ship with 248 tons of wine†before extreme weather causes them to throw much of it overboard necessitating calculations. In another three men spend a guinea at a tavern each consuming varied amounts. The persons described in the word problems are also worthy of further study as in one case where various farm personnel are featured: “one man three women and one boy made a crop of 1700 pounds of tobacco.†p14. Brewer’s journal also contains several practice exercises in letter-writing as to foreign traders p93. The author of the “Arithmetic Book†seems to have enjoyed this work and there are many whimsical flourishes in his handwriting and a few occasional doodles. Most surprising however is Brewer’s decision to conclude his journal with a composite psalmic coda:<br /> <br /> “Oh God who didst command the light to shine out of darkness / speak but the word and light shall dart into my soul at once / when thou my lips and my mouth shall show forth my / praise shall burst out into a chearful sic song†<br /> <br /> Overall an interesting relic of education during the years following the Revolution which should be of interest to scholars of early American education due to its detail and thematic content. unknown

1997005269Cambridge MA U.S.A.: Birkhauser Boston 1997 216 pages 4 illus. hardcover. This is an advanced textbook based on lectures delivered by a well-known specialist at the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute. Brevity logical organization and a sometimes lighthearted approach are distinctive features of this modest book. The author makes the reader an active participant by asking questions hinting giving direct recommendations comparing different methods and discussing "pessimistic" and "optimistic" approaches to numerical analysis in a short time. Since matrix analysis underlies numerical methods and the author is an expert in this field emphasis in the book is on methods and algorithms of matrix analysis. Also considered are function approximations methods of solving nonlinear equations and minimization methods. Alongside classical methods new results and approaches developed over the last few years are discussed. Advanced students and graduate students majoring in computer science physics and mathematics will find this book helpful. It can be equally useful for advanced readers and researchers providing them with new findings and new accessible views of the basic mathematical framework. As New. Birkhauser Boston hardcover

He received his Ph.D. in 1917 from Cornell University under Virgil Snyder. Hollcroft was a mathematics professor at Wells College from 1918 to 1954 from which he retired as professor emeritus. Hollcroft served for 14 years as Associate Secretary of the American Mathematical Society. In 1932 in Zurich he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematician ICM.
