Thomas Salmon: Writings on Music: Volume I: An Essay to the Advancement of Musick and the Ensuing Controversy, 1672-3
ISBN: 9780754668442 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Salmon (1647-1706) is remembered today for the fury with which Matthew Locke greeted his first foray into musical writing, the Essay to the Advancement of Musick (1672), and the near-farcical level to which the subsequent pamphlet dispute quickly descended. Salmon proposed a radical reform of musical notation, involving a new set of clefs which he claimed, and Locke denied, would make learning and performing music much easier. The incident has tended to be passed over rather briefly in the scholarly literature, but beneath the unedifying invective employed by Salmon, Locke and their...

How to Read Historical Mathematics
ISBN: 9780691140148 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Writings by early mathematicians feature language and notations that are quite different from what we're familiar with today. Sourcebooks on the history of mathematics provide some guidance, but what has been lacking is a guide tailored to the needs of readers approaching these writings for the first time. How to Read Historical Mathematics fills this gap by introducing readers to the analytical questions historians ask when deciphering historical texts. Sampling actual writings from the history of mathematics, Benjamin Wardhaugh reveals the questions that will unlock...

Music, Experiment and Mathematics in England, 1653-1705
ISBN: 9780754665267 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How, in 1705, was Thomas Salmon, a parson from Bedfordshire, able to persuade the Royal Society that a musical performance could constitute a scientific experiment? Or that the judgement of a musical audience could provide evidence for a mathematically precise theory of musical tuning? This book presents answers to these questions. It constitutes a general history of quantitative music theory in the late seventeenth century as well as a detailed study of one part of that history: namely the applications of mathematical and mechanical methods of understanding to music that were produced in...

The Correspondence of Charles Hutton: Mathematical Networks in Georgian Britain
ISBN: 9780198805045 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book contains all the letters that are known to survive from the correspondence of Charles Hutton (1737-1823). Hutton was one of the most prominent British mathematicians of his generation; he played roles at the Royal Society, the Royal Military Academy, the Board of Longitude, the 'philomath' network and elsewhere. He worked on the explosive force of gunpowder and the mean density of the earth, wining the Royal Society's Copley medal in 1778; he was also at the focus of a celebrated row at the Royal Society in 1784 over the place of mathematics there. He is of particular historical...

The History of the History of Mathematics: Case Studies for the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
ISBN: 9783034307086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The writing of mathematical histories has a long history, one which has seldom received scholarly attention. Mathematical history, and mathematical biography, raise distinctive issues of method and approach to which different periods have responded in different ways. At a time of increasing interest in the history of mathematics, this book attempts to show something of the trajectory that history has taken in the past. It presents seven case studies illustrating the different ways that mathematical histories have been written since the seventeenth century, ranging from the historia of John...

John Birchensha: Writings on Music
ISBN: 9780754662136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Birchensha (c.1605-?1681) is chiefly remembered for the impression that his theories about music made on the mathematicians, natural philosophers and virtuosi of the Royal Society in the 1660s and 1670s, and for inventing a system that he claimed would enable even those without practical experience of music to learn to compose in a short time by means of 'a few easy, certain, and perfect Rules'-his most famous composition pupil being Samuel Pepys in 1662. His great aim was to publish a treatise on music in its philosophical, mathematical and practical aspects (which would have included a...

John Wallis: Writings on Music
ISBN: 9780754668701 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Wallis (1616-1703), was one of the foremost British mathematicians of the seventeenth century, and is also remembered for his important writings on grammar and logic. An interest in music theory led him to produce translations into Latin of three ancient Greek texts - those of Ptolemy, Porphyry and Bryennius - and involved him in discussions with Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, Thomas Salmon and other individuals as his ideas developed. The texts presented in this volume cover the relationship of ancient and modern tuning theory, the building of organs, the phenomena...
