John Venn (1834-1923) British logician, known for the famous "Venn diagram". He was first interested in theology (his father was an evangelical divine), but influenced by such agnostics as Henry Sidgwick in Cambridge, and by reading Boole's or de Morgan's works on logic, he became a logician. As regards the traditional syllogism, he proposed the "existential" view that the four categorical forms of proposition are concerned with the existence or non-existence of a kind; and he propounded the view that universal poropositions do not have the "existential import" (that is, the view that a universal proposition does not imply any existential proposition). Thus, the Aristotelian syllogism on this view can be interpreted in terms of emptiness or nonemptiness of eight compartments marked out by three terms. Venn Diagram with 8 compartments Like many other logicians in the 19th century, he is also known for his work in probability theory. He is usually referred to as one of the founders of the frequency theory of probability, which interprets probability in terms of the long-run relative frequency of an event. He propounded this view in his Logic of Chance (1866, 3rd ed., 1888); but according to Sandy Zabell's recent study, Venn's view changed through the revision of this book, and he came closer to the "degree-of-belief" view, although he did not abandon the frequentist view.

Comparison with a Contemporary Ross Chambers: A little light Googling finds a contemporary and near colleague of CLD who is led to a doubt of the 39 Articles possibly as a result of his work in Logic. Please pardon the truncation of the text. Could Colenso's (see the Snark) arithmetical problems with the Pentateuch have similar roots? John Venn was born August 4, 1834, in Hull, Humberside, England, to a prominent evangelical family. In 1853, after graduation from high school, Venn enrolled in Gonville and Caius College, in Cambridge. He was elected a mathematical scholar in 1854 and by 1857 he had gained his Bachelor of the Arts degree. Also in 1857, Venn was elected a Fellow of the College and remained so for the rest of his life. Venn's family background led him to be ordained as a deacon at Ely in 1858, and as a priest in 1859. After that, he held offices at Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, and Mortlake, Surrey until 1862, when he returned to Cambridge as a college lecturer in moral sciences. For the next thirty years, Venn became interested in logic. He published three standard texts based upon this topic. He wrote The Logic of Chance in 1866, Symbolic Logic in 1881, and The Principles of Empirical Logic in 1889. While he pursued his research in logic, Venn found he could no longer follow the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England. At this point in time, many controversies were brewing about the Articles, and people of high Victorian, post-Darwinian England lost their faith in the Church. Venn himself, never actually lost his faith but he abjured his clerical orders in 1883, just the same. This same year, Venn was elected to the Royal Society, and the University of Cambridge awarded him a ScD.

CTK Exchange Front Page Movie shortcuts Personal info ... Recommend this site Lewis Caroll's Logic Game Lewis Carroll's fame is universal. I can easily cite a couple dozen books that mention him or quote from his books. Temptation to quote from Alice's experiences with which so many people can identify, is indeed great. But the trend may be reversing. In the introduction to a book I have recently come across, the author found it necessary to mention that in the whole of the book there is not a single reference to either Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass - the two books that made the name of Lewis Carroll a household item the world over. However, his other works are either forgotten or known far less. In real life he was a mathematician C.L.Dodgson with deep interest in symbolic logic and logical reasoning. On these pages, I have described one of his probability and the doublets puzzles. The next few pages will be devoted to his Logic Game , an invention that competes with a device for solving logical problems known by the name of Venn Diagrams - bequested to us by another otherwise very little known mathematician J.Venn. Naming of the diagrams after Venn is as universal as it is

CTK Exchange Front Page Movie shortcuts Personal info ... Recommend this site Following is an excerpt from The Mathematical Universe by William Dunham In the mid-nineteenth century, John Venn (1834-1923), a Fellow of Cambridge University, devised a scheme for visualizing logical relationships. Venn was a cleric in the Anglican Church, an authority on what was then called "moral science," and the compiler of a massive index of all Cambridge alumni. He was not terribly outstanding in mathematics. But, for better or worse, a single contribution has made him immortal. That contribution is the Venn diagram. It is as much a fixture of' today's textbooks as the title page or table of contents. A Venn diagram is simply a field within which circular areas represent groups of items sharing common properties. For instance, within the universe of all animals (the large rectangle in Figure V. 1), region C represents the camels, region B the birds, and region A the albatrosses. A glance at the diagram reveals that All albatrosses are birds (region A lies entirely within region B No camels are birds (regions C and B are nonintersecting).

JOHN VENN VOLTAR John Venn nasceu no dia 4 de agosto de 1834 em Hull, Inglaterra, e morreu no dia 4 de abril de 1923 em Cambridge, Inglaterra. Veio de uma Igreja de fundo Evangélico e quando ele entrou em Gonville e na Faculdade de Caius Cambridge em 1853 ele teve um leve contato com livros de qualquer tipo e pode ser dito que lá tinha começado o seu conhecimento de literatura. Ele se formou em 1857, e dois anos depois foi ordenado um padre. Em 1862 ele voltou a Universidade de Cambridge como um conferencista em Ciência Moral, estudando e ensinando lógica e teoria da probabilidade. Ele desenvolveu a lógica matemática de Boole e é melhor conhecido pelo seu diagrama de representar conjuntos e as sua uniões e interseções. Venn considerou três discos R, S, e T como subconjuntos típicos de um conjunto U. As interseções destes discos e seus complementos dividem U em 8 regiões não justapostas, das quais a união dá 256 combinações de Boolean diferentes do conjunto original R, S, T. Venn escreveu a Lógica de Chance em 1866, que Keynes descreveu como: "notavelmente original e consideravelmente influenciou o desenvolvimento da teoria de estatísticas".

Back to the Table of Contents Biographies of Mathematicians - Venn John Venn John Venn was a British logician made famous by his logical diagrams. Namely, the Venn Diagram, which is used often in teaching elementary mathematics. Venn's Life John Venn was born August 4, 1834, in Hull, Humberside, England, to a prominent evangelical family. When he was young, his father, Henry Venn, moved to London in order to take up the occupation of honorary secretary to the Church Missionary Society. Venn began his education in London, at Sir Roger Cholmley's School, which is now known as Highgate School. In 1853, after graduation from high school, Venn enrolled in Gonville and Caius College, in Cambridge.

Home Services People Blueprint Appeal Music Magazine Previous magazines Search Old pages John and Henry Venn John and Henry Venn the Younger If the anglo-catholic movement takes its name from Oxford, the evangelical revival ought to be named for Cambridge, where almost all its leaders were educated - including the Venns. Instead, a geographical quirk has bequeathed us 'the Clapham sect.' The Venns are an incredible family. The elder Henry Venn (1725-1797) was the son of a high church parson, and became an evangelical only after his marriage in 1750. He was a curate at Clapham from 1754, then vicar of Huddersfield from 1769 till 1771, when he moved to Yelling in Huntingdon, close enough to Cambridge to inspire such young men as Charles Simeon. His influential writing and preaching show that he was no gloomy Calvinist. His son, John Venn (1759-1813), was rector of Clapham from 1792 until his death, and was a central figure in the Clapham sect which gathered round his famous parishioner William Wilberforce. He played an active part in the anti-slavery campaign, and was one of the founders of the Church Missionary Society in 1797. Henry Venn junior (1796-1873) continued the family business. After holding various livings, including St John's Holloway 1834-46, he resigned in 1846 to work for the CMS, and was its honorary secretary for 32 years of significant growth and development. A precursor of 'Traidcraft', he encouraged trade in West African goods rather than slaves, and brought Africans to Britain to study methods of production.

Scrivener Notaries London, England. , which is one of the oldest City livery companies, traces its origins as far back as 1373. The Company sets the examinations for prospective scrivener notaries and prescribes the other qualifications for entry to the profession. It is one of the few livery companies which still governs a "living" profession. The profession is a highly specialised one and has grown out of the unique position of the City of London as an international trading centre. Nearly all the work of scrivener notaries is of an international nature, although they are competent to advise on certain domestic matters as well. Scrivener notaries are trained not only in English law, but also in relevant aspects of the law of a foreign country. They are also examined in two foreign languages. This places them in a unique position to provide a bridge between the common law system prevalent in the English speaking world, and the civil law system found in many other parts of the world, including most countries in continental Europe and the whole of Latin America. Scrivener notaries are therefore able to certify documents in many languages and also to prepare legal documents -for example powers of attorney - in the form and language of the country in which they are to be used. Notarisation and Legalisation Within its specialised areas of the law firm provides a full range of notarial services with a foreign element or cross-border context. In this context, the main areas of activity are:
