Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A few years ago, in the Wren Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, I came across a remarkable but then little-known album of pencil and watercolour portraits. The artist of most (perhaps all) was Thomas Charles Wageman. Created during 1829–1852, these portraits are of pupils of the famous mat- matical tutor William Hopkins. Though I knew much about several of the subjects, the names of others were then unknown to me. I was prompted to discover more about them all, and gradually this interest evolved into the present book. The project has expanded naturally to describe the Cambridge educational milieu of the time, the work of William Hopkins, and the later achievements of his pupils and their contemporaries. As I have taught applied mathematics in a British university for forty years, during a time of rapid change, the struggles to implement and to resist reform in mid-nineteenth-century Cambridge struck a chord of recognition. So, too, did debates about academic standards of honours degrees. And my own experiences, as a graduate of a Scottish university who proceeded to C- bridge for postgraduate work, gave me a particular interest in those Scots and Irish students who did much the same more than a hundred years earlier. As a mathematician, I sometimes felt frustrated at having to suppress virtually all of the ? ne mathematics associated with this period: but to have included such technical material would have made this a very different book.

Book excerpt: Planning to study science but feeling unsure about it ? We've got the perfect book for you! If you want to be an innovator , you must read about great scientists from around the world and get inspired by their work! Scientists are one of the main reasons that society has evolved to its current state. The efforts of some great scientists have contributed to the modernization of the world. Famous scientists like Isaac Newton and Galileo Galilei set an example for modern scientists. But there's a lot we don't know about it , and we're about to know all about it. So if you too are a science lover and dream of changing the world with your inventions , then read on and start creating! Scientists around the world have contributed to the development of medicine , physics , chemistry, and technology, among other important aspects of society. As a budding scientist , you can either adopt a theoretical approach or a practical approach. Both these methods are equally important in this field. In addition , research and development is necessary in all fields of scientific study , even for industrial purposes . So we understand the importance of scientists , let's take a look at some of the most brilliant minds and their contributions! Finally , you can even leave a comment to let us know how many of them you already know! Scientists of all fields are very important for the progress of the society. Some have completely changed the way the scientific community views science. So let's have a look at the greatest scientists known in the world.

Download or read book Great Paintings written by Karen Hosack Janes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Paintings is a sumptuous, visual guided tour of 66 of the world's greatest paintings. Ranging from works by Zhang Zeduan, a 12th-century Chinese master, to modern masterpieces by Rothko and Anselm Kiefer, the paintings are arranged chronologically, providing an excellent visual introduction to the history of art. The book starts with how to "read" a painting. Annotated paintings show how to identify the key elements of a picture. The major part of the book is a magnificent visual gallery of iconic paintings. The story behind each painting is fully explained, unlocking the often hidden meanings of symbols and details. Each painting is then analyzed visually, using pull-out details and overlays, to help the reader understand the key features, composition, and techniques. Artists' biographies and features on historical and social context explore how landmark paintings have been influenced by what has gone before and how they go on to inspire what comes after them. Reading Great Paintings is like being taken around a gallery by a personal guide who helps you to look at paintings-both familiar and new-in fresh and fascinating ways. Understanding paintings has never been so easy. Contents (provisional list of paintings) PRELIMS INTRODUCTION: LOOKING AT ART PREHISTORY TO 15TH CENTURY 1.
