I very much enjoyed your archive. The entry on the witch of Agnesi prompted the reaction, "but this is the Cauchy density function" and led me to a nice paper by Steven Stigler on this connection in Biometrika 61 375-380 (1974).

Very nice pages on the history of mathematics, which I just discovered. Here are a couple of small errata: When browsing for my fellow American mathematicians I saw a link to B\^ocher, when you intended Bochner. Another niggling point is that when I checked on Kronecker, he was listed as born in Legnica, Poland, but at that time it was Liegnitz, Germany, and I doubt that Kronecker considered himself a Pole. Are you interested in corrections like these? Sincerely yours, Evans M.

Your Famous Curves are great! I use them to stimulate high school students in an International School in Denmark. One curve that might be an addition to your collection is the super-ellipse. It has the same formula as a normal ellipse but with exponents of 2.5 rather than 2. The result is a somewhat flattened ellipse with some practical applications for traffic circles and executive playthings. I'll mail you an article on it and its Danish inventor Piet Hein if you are interested. Keep up the good work!

I love the "arbelos" or fisherman's knife curve. It may have been a favorite of Archimedes who published several proofs about its amazing properties. I'm not sure it is very famous, but it might be interesting enough to put on your Web Site. Professor Clayton Dodge, here at U.Maine Orono, wrote a paper on it recently. I had written one myself (although not as good as his), and then found out he too found this curve fascinating enough to do a study of it.

I was looking at your group theory presentation, and you do not mention any of the great advances of the last half century. Are you aware that finite simple groups have been classified, and that this was a truly monumental work? You do not mention Richard Brauer, John Thompson, Walter Feit (my husband), Dan Gorenstein, and the many others who have made contributions to the great strides made in the field. This is like discussing electronic technology, but omitting the invention of the computer - very out of date! Hope to see a more timely presentation soon.

Although your History Archive is very nice and well-written, I feel that
some names are missing, especially those of B.L. van der Waerden, Andre Weil,

And do some physicists (like Planck) really belong to the history of math?

I was somewhat surprised to note the absence of the Cornu spiral among your famous curves collection. As I am sure you are aware the aforementioned spiral is a plot of the Fresnel sin integral vs the Fresnel cos integral and is named after Marie Alfred Cornu(1841-1902). Apart from enjoying the elegance of the curve one may also use the Cornu spiral to compute and understand simple Fresnel diffraction patterns.

I am researching James Maxwell; specifically the extent to which his discoveries were independant and original and the extent to which they relied on the findings of his predecessors. If there are other sites like yours that you might be able to direct me to please email me back. Thanks for any help you can give. Keep up the good work! Bravo!

Is there a curve described as having a constant diameter, but is not a circle. I know of a shape like this but have been unable to find a name for it. It appears much like an involute of a tricuspoid. Please help me find the name and formula for this curve. (it looks exactly like the piston on a Wankel(MAZDA) engine.

This page is fantastic. I've been addicted to it lately, reading about the lives of all the guys we're learning about in complex analysis. One of our favorite facts is that Cauchy was an ardent royalist and hated by his peers. Whenever we struggle with his mathematics now we simply attribute it to our political differences. -Dave.

I find Your collection of famous mathematical curves interesting. BUT! One of the most beatiful curves are missing. It is wellknown in Denmark where I live. It was found by Piet Hein - a danish writer, scientist and architect who died a few weeks ago at the age of 90. It is called the "Super-Ellipse" and has the formula: (x/a)^2.5 + (y/b)^2.5 = 1 As You can see, the eksponent has changed slightly from the ellipse. I would be glad to find it in your excellent archive in the future.

Gentlemen: Your MacTutor web site is excellent. I happened to searching for historical information on logarithms, when I stumbled on your curve section--as they say in the U.S., it's awesome! I would like your assistance in finding some reference material on the method Henry Briggs used to actually calculate a logarithm (common) to base 10 I do not plan to duplicate his work but just curious what mathematical method you would use to calculate logs to the base 10.

I am working on a diss. on the 17th C changeover from classical geometry to algebraic geometry, focussing on the Wallis-Hobbes debate. I guess that as a result I am especially sensitive to the historical aspect of explaining various concepts, events and so forth -- classical geometry had a very different way of looking at classical problems, and it would be interesting to see that difference addressed (where appropriate) in your historical entries -- e.g., that on pi. I am always looking for sources, assistance, even critical comments... If you have any information or interest on this topic, I would be glad to hear from you.
Hello, I'm writing to thank you for putting this history archive on the web. I'm a doctoral student in theoretical computer science at stanford university, and take the occasional class in the math department.

Thank you so much for creating this site. My brain died 20 years ago at university, and it is only recently that I can stomach looking at mathematics again. (The books by John Allen Paulos and by Ian Stewart are what brought me back to life.) I really, really enjoyed your topics from the history of mathematics - they bring back the time when I used to eat up Eric Temple Bell's 'Men of Mathematics' volumes. God bless you!

I am a teacher in FE. I have recently come across your excellent history of maths resource.
I view them with a PC so I miss some of the fun. All the same I find the material very helpful.
I have drawn the attention of a number of colleagues to your pages and they have been
equally impressed.
How long did it take you to put all this together?
Thanks for making such a great resource available.
How do you feel about your materials being used for class notes? I would of course give
credits.
Thank you for an impressive and significant contribution to the "Net". I shall spend many hours enjoying the fruit of your efforts. Warlo (AKA L. Sebring, Palo Alto, CA.)
Great web site ! Keep up the good work !
I was glad to see our site listed amongst your external resources links. Just one little point though, can we be rechristened to just the 'Museum of the History of Science' rather than the 'Hooke Museum of the History of Science' - the 'hooke' only comes into our URL by accident really. Thanks
I have just visited the page on Grace Hopper. Please coreect: (1) Grace did NOT invent the word "bug" -- that credit goes to Edison! She did find the first true bug in the Mark II. (2) The reference to a link to EdTech Vermont is ACTUALLY a reference to the Educational Technology Division at Virginia Tech (i.e. you looked at VT and interpreted it as Vermont!!!!)
Apparently you must have several links into our pages which you have identified as University of Vermont when it is Virginia Tech!! I found the latest at: http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Babbage.html
Firstly let me congratulate your efforts in setting up this archive of the history of mathematics: I have found it very useful. Whilst doing a small piece of research using it I did come across what appears to be an error in dates: Luigi Menabrea is reported as being born on 12 Nov 1835. But his memoir on Babbage's Analytical Engine was published in 1842 - when he was 7 ... :-0 Doesn't seem feasible really! I shall continue to visit the site. Best Wishes
What a fantastic sight. The scope seems incredibly broad and is extreamly well cross-linked Thank you!
