Math Words, pg 13 Aliquot parts of a number are proper divisors of the number that are smaller than the number. The aliquot parts of six are one, two, and three. The word joins two unlikely partners, the Latin ali for "other" and quot for how many. Together they came to mean a part of something, in this case, a part of the number of which it is a factor. The "other" meaning of ali remains today in words like alius, alibi, and alien. The quot root remains in quotient. Aliquot chains, sometimes called sociable chains , are formed by taking the sum of the aliquot parts and adding them to form a new number, then repeating this process on the next number. For some numbers, the result will bring you directly back to the original number. In that case the two numbers are called amicable numbers . For example, 220 and 284 are amicable numbers. The divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55, 110 and if you add all these numbers together, you can see they sum to 284. The aliquot parts of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71, 142 and these sum to 220. The relationship between 220 and 284 was known at least as far back as Pythagorus (500 BC). Sam Kutler has written to tell me that the first use of a term like "friend" for the pair was in a commentary on the work of Nicomachus by Iamblichus, around 300 AD. He also thought the Greek term was

Estamos salvados, Por Luis Sapag A principios del siglo pasado el adalid del anarquismo ruso, Priot Kropotkin, militaba en la causa de la electricidad y los motores eléctricos. Decía que la economía del vapor y el carbón habían creado el monstruoso capitalismo porque obligaban a la concentración y el gigantismo. La dispersión que permite la energía eléctrica, fácil de transmitir a distancias largas, permitiría la liberación de las comunidades y sus individuos, sacándose de encima el yugo de los monopolios. La consigna leninista de "soviets más electricidad" estuvo evidentemente fundada en esta visión.

Examples Solving the Quintic A Short History Index 15th Century 16th Century 17th Century 18th Century ... 20th Century 15th Century ca. 2000 BC Babylonians solve quadratics in radicals. ca. 300 BC Euclid demonstrates a geometrical construction for solving a quadratic. ca. 1000 Arab mathematicians reduce: 2p p ux + vx = w to a quadratic. Omar Khayyam (1050-1123) solves cubics geometrically by intersecting parabolas and circles. ca. 1400 Al-Kashi solves special cubic equations by iteration. Nicholas Chuqet (1445?-1500?) invents a method for solving polynomials iteratively. 16th Century Scipione del Ferro (1465-1526) solves the cubic: 3 x + mx = n but does not publish his solution. Niccolo Fontana (Tartaglia) (1500?-1557) wins a mathematical contest by solving many different cubics, and gives his method to Cardan. Girolamo Cardan (1501-1576) gives the complete solution of cubics in his book, The Great Art, or the Rules of Algebra . Complex numbers had been rejected for quadratics as absurd, but now they are needed in Cardan's formula to express real solutions. The Great Art also includes the solution of the quartic equation by Ludovico Ferrari (1522-1565), but it is played down because it was believed to be absurd to take a quantity to the fourth power, given that there are only three dimensions.

Lazare Carnot: Organizer of Victory How the "Calculus of Enthusiasm" Saved France By Pierre Beaudry Published in The American Almanac July 21, 1997 End of Page Strategy Page Site Map Overview Page During his campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination last July, Lyndon LaRouche compared his battle to turn around the disastrous situation in the United States to the military campaign carried out by Lazare Carnot (1753-1823) in France during period of the French Revolution. He referenced Carnot in the following terms: ``Back in 1793, France, under a terrible government, was overrun by invading armies which were victorious on every front. The word in Paris was that the defeat and consequent dismemberment of France, was a military inevitability. At that point they found a `sucker' to take over the defense forces of France. His name was Lazare Carnot. He was a rather famous military genius, who had once spent time in the Bastille because of court politics; who had been a student of Gaspard Monge (1746-1818), who was the leading scientific thinker of France, and, at that point, of Europe. ``Lazare Carnot, under condition of imminent defeat, reorganized the policies, the military policies of France, and its armiesoften fired major-generals to replace them with sergeants, quite successfully, if he found the major-generals keeping the troops in the barracks too long, or if they didn't cross the river that night, but rather waited for the next morning, things like thatterrible crimes.

58. Knots And Links were not treated as mathematical objects until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,when mathematicians including alexandreTheophile vandermonde (1735-1796 http://lucien.blight.com/~cr/knots.html

Knots and Links When Alexander reached Gordium, he was seized with a longing to ascend to the acropolis... to see Gordius's wagon and the knot of the wagon's yoke... There was a legend about the wagon, that anyone who untied the knot of the yoke would rule Asia. The knot was of cornel bark, and you could not see where it began or ended. Alexander was unable to find how to untie the knot but unwilling to leave it tied... Some say he struck it with his sword, cut the knot, and said it was now untied-but Aristobulus says that he took out the pole-pin, a bolt driven right through the pole, holding the knot together, and so removed the yoke from the pole. I cannot say with confidence what Alexander actually did about this knot, but he and his suite certainly left the wagon with the impression that the oracle about the undoing of the knot had been fulfilled... Lucius Flavius Arrianus, Anabasis Alexandri, Book II, c. 150 A.D. A Knotty Puzzle. Unlike some other branches of mathematics, which may contain a number of interesting and/or unsolved puzzles, knot theory basically is a puzzle. This puzzle, at its most basic, is: given any knot (such as the one pictured left) is it the same as or different from some other knot (such as the one to the right)? While not exactly the same as topology (a knotted torus is still a torus), knot theory is similar to topology in that it involves the study of certain invariant properties-the knottedness of a knot, so to speak-while other properties, such as size, color, and the arrangement of the strands, do not affect the object under study. Thus, two identical knots may look very different, while two different knots may look very similar.
