Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoirs of John Napier of Merchiston, His Lineage, Life and Times: With a History of the Invention of Logarithms She had collected, she and my father invited him to come and live with them at Madura early in 1783, and there introduced him to all the Brahmins and other literary natives who resided at that place. No life of Napier, however, was destined to result from these spirited proceedings, which gave rise to the celebrated Mac kenzie Collection and, Sir Alexander adds in his evidence, the Marquis of Hastings purchased the whole collection for the East India Company from Colonel Mackenzie's widow for L. And thereby preserved for the British Government the most.valu able materials which could be procured for writing an authentic history of the British empire in India. Unfortunately the papers of the Honourable Mrs Johnston were also consumed by fire, an element that has been severe upon the materials for our Philosopher's biography. The late Earl of Buchan, ' towards the close of last cen tury, put together a few quarto pages of meagre and inaccurate bio graphy, which he called the Life of Napier, and to this was added an able but dry analysis of his published mathematical inventions by Dr Minto. This work has done more harm than good to the sub ject, as, from its imposing shape and title, it has given rise to a vague impression that nothing further could be known or said about Na pier, and may have deterred others, better qualified for the task than I can pretend to be, from exerting themselves to do justice to his memory.

Download or read book John Napier written by Julian Havil and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-05 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive account of the mathematician's life and work John Napier (1550–1617) is celebrated today as the man who invented logarithms—an enormous intellectual achievement that would soon lead to the development of their mechanical equivalent in the slide rule: the two would serve humanity as the principal means of calculation until the mid-1970s. Yet, despite Napier's pioneering efforts, his life and work have not attracted detailed modern scrutiny. John Napier is the first contemporary biography to take an in-depth look at the multiple facets of Napier’s story: his privileged position as the eighth Laird of Merchiston and the son of influential Scottish landowners; his reputation as a magician who dabbled in alchemy; his interest in agriculture; his involvement with a notorious outlaw; his staunch anti-Catholic beliefs; his interactions with such peers as Henry Briggs, Johannes Kepler, and Tycho Brahe; and, most notably, his estimable mathematical legacy. Julian Havil explores Napier’s original development of logarithms, the motivations for his approach, and the reasons behind certain adjustments to them. Napier’s inventive mathematical ideas also include formulas for solving spherical triangles, "Napier’s Bones" (a more basic but extremely popular alternative device for calculation), and the use of decimal notation for fractions and binary arithmetic. Havil also considers Napier’s study of the Book of Revelation, which led to his prediction of the Apocalypse in his first book, A Plaine Discovery of the Whole Revelation of St. John—the work for which Napier believed he would be most remembered. John Napier assesses one man’s life and the lasting influence of his advancements on the mathematical sciences and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, all five of John Napier’s works have been brought together in English in a single volume, making them more accessible than ever before. His four mathematical works were originally published in Latin: two in his lifetime (1550–1617), one shortly after he died, and one over 200 years later. The authors have prepared three introductory chapters, one covering Napier himself, one his mathematical works, and one his religious work. The former has been prepared by one of Napier’s descendants and contains many new findings about Napier’s life to provide the most complete biography of this enigmatic character, whose reputation has previously been overshadowed by rumour and speculation. The latter has been written by an academic who was awarded a PhD for his thesis on Napier at the University of Edinburgh, and it provides the most lucid and coherent coverage available of this abstruse and little understood work. The chapter on Napier’s mathematical texts has been authored by an experienced and respected academic, whose recent works have specialised in the history of mathematics and whose Journey through Mathematics was selected in March of 2012 as an Outstanding Title in Mathematics by Choice magazine, a publication of the American Library Association. All three authors have revisited the primary sources extensively and deliver new insights about Napier and his works, whilst revising the many myths and assumptions that surround his life and character.
