Cajori, Florian, 1859-1930.
A History of the Conceptions of Limits and Fluxions in Great Britain from Newton to Woodhouse / by Florian Cajori.
Publisher: Mansfield Centre, CT : Martino Pub., 2007..
viii, 299 p. 2 port. (incl. front.) diagrs. index, Originally published: Chicago ; London : The Open Court Pub. Co., 1919. (The Open court series of classics of science and philosophy ; no. 5). Florian Cajori was one of the most celebrated historians of mathematics in his day. He emigrated to the United States at the age of sixteen. He received a Ph.D. at Tulane University, where he taught for a few years before being driven north by his health. He taught at Colorado College, where he founded the Colorado College Scientific Society. Even today his History of Mathematical Notations (1928-29) has been described as "unsurpassed." In 1918, he was appointed to a specially created chair in history of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. He remained in Berkeley, California until his death in 1930. A History of the Conception of Limites and Fluxions in Great Britain from Newton to Woodhouse is considered an important treatise, with an excellent index and thoroughly researched. Chapter?s cover Newton?s publications prior to 1734, as well as chapters on Jurin, Berkeley, Maclaurin, and dozens of other British Mathematicians of the period. (1633x). Fine, new from publisher.

Information Theory in Biology after 18 years / offprint from SCIENCE June 1970
Publisher: Science Magazine, American Assoc for the Advancement of Science, 26 June 1970 vol 168 pp 1545-1550.
Good or a bit better overall, stapled wraps, 8.5 x 11, toned along staple margins and outer edges; heavy horizontal crease from being folded in half. Pages tight and clean, unmarked. Upper corner states, Reprinted from -- 6 June 1970 volume 168 pp 1545-1550, Science. Bottom of front cover reads, copyright 1970 by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Triple-column text. 'In biology the role played by information theory has been... disappointing. Its introduction into biological thought in the early 1950's promised a calculus uniquely suited to the mathematical description of living systems. Now, after 18 years of symposia and published articles on the subject, it is doubtful whether information theory has offered the experimental biologist anything more than vague insights and beguiling terminology. After reviewing some of these hopes and disappointments, I shall point out some new directions (circa 1970) in which information theory might evolve to become a useful general calculus for biology...'

Khuw¯arizm¯i, Muòhammad ibn M¯usá, fl. 813-846 /Robert, of Chester, fl. 1143 / Karpinski, Louis Charles, 1878-1956
Robert of Chester's Latin translation of the Algebra of Al-Khowarizmi / with an introduction, critical notes, and ...
Publisher: Mansfield Centre, Conn. : Martino Pub., 2006..
an English version by Louis Charles Karpinski.vii, 164, [6] p. : illus.. index, 24 cm. Title continues: " And An English Version By Louis Charles Karpinski." Originally published: New York : Macmillan, 1915. It is much more than a reprint of Robert of Chester's Latin translation from the Arabic, accompanied by a translation into English. It contains in outline the development of algebra before the time of Al-Khowarizmi, an account of Al-Khowarizmi's Algebra and Arithmetic, and their bearing upon the development of mathematics. Much biographical detail is gleaned from out-of-the-way sources, pertaining to Al-Khowarizmi, Robert of Chester and other medieval writers who prepared translations of, or were directly influenced by, the algebra of the great Mohammedan. Robert of Chester's Latin translation was made in the twelfth century. The different extant manuscripts are compared and the deviations from the text of Scheybl, which is followed in this edition, are given in foot-notes with a minutia that seems almost excessive. A Latin glossary assists the reader in making out the medieval Latin. Added interest is secured by photographic reproductions of pages from the three most complete manuscripts of Robert of Chester's translation. Neither time nor expense has been spared in making the monograph a minute, yet attractive study of the earliest translation into Latin of the famous Arabic text. (1307x) Fine, new from publisher / no dj.
