   Extractions: Florian Cajori Cajori emigrated to the United States in 1875 when he was sixteen years old. He entered the State Normal School in Whitewater, Wisconsin in 1876 and graduated two years later. Cajori did not enter university immediately after graduating, but he taught in a country school before beginning his studies of mathematics at the University of Wisconsin. After being awarded a B.S. from Wisconsin in 1883, he entered Johns Hopkins University in January 1884. Having studied for about eighteen months at Johns Hopkins, Cajori left in June 1885 and was awarded his Master's degree by the University of Wisconsin the following year. After leaving Johns Hopkins University, Cajori was appointed as assistant professor at Tulane University in New Orleans in 1885 even before receiving his Master's degree. He became professor of applied mathematics at Tulane in 1887. He held the chair of physics at Colorado College in Colorado Springs from 1889 to 1898 and during this time, in 1890, he married Elizabeth G Edwards; they had one son. Also during this time, in 1894, he was awarded his doctorate from Tulane University. Cajori held the chair of mathematics at Colorado College from 1898 until 1918, being Dean of the Department of Engineering for the last fifteen years of his time at Colorado Springs. He was appointed to a specially created chair in the history of mathematics at the University of California at Berkeley in 1918. This was the first chair in the history of mathematics to be founded in the United States and it says much of Cajori's high reputation that a special chair was created at this leading university.

   http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/C/Cajori/1.html
   
   Extractions: Cajori's influence on the modern perception of the development of mathematics was profound, and his works are frequently quoted to this day. His reputation is founded mainly on his many books on the history of mathematics, although a number of his works - notably his edited version of Isaac Newton 's Principia (published posthumously) - have been subject to some criticism for their interpretation of historical material. He also compiled A History of Physics 1899.

   Extractions: Ph.D. Tulane 1894 Florian Cajori (1859-1930) was born in Switzerland, son of a leading civil engineer, and came to the United States in 1875, when he was sixteen. He studied at the University of Wisconsin as an undergraduate, and did graduate work there and at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, before joining the faculty of Tulane University. He had to leave New Orleans within a couple of years on developing tuberculosis, and came to Colorado Springs for his health, where he was invited by President Slocum to join the faculty of Colorado College first as a part-time instructor (at $30 per month) and within a year as professor of physics (at $1500 per year). As professor of physics from 1889-1898, Cajori ardently promoted scientific studies at the college, not least through his founding of the Colorado College Scientific Society in 1890, and is celebrated particularly for taking, with his physics class, the first X-ray photographs in the West. In 1898, he became professor of mathematics, and five years later, became also the founding Dean of the School of Engineering.

    Extractions: SECTION SUMMER SEMINAR BOOKS ON THE HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS For this summer seminar, it would be very nice if we had a collection of books to consult. I really don't want to bring several boxes of books with me, so if you can find some of the things on the list below in your library, please bring it along. To avoid lots of copies of the same things, let's coordinate what you will bring by sending Ivy Knoshoag at iknoshaug@bemidjistate.edu . Those items marked by a bold dot are available at Bemidji State University so there is no reason to bring along copies of them. You need not feel restricted to this list. Bring something interesting of a historical nature - the more variety the merrier. The following books deal with some aspect of the history of mathematics, with a heavy concentration on the history of the calculus. Only a few, Baron 1969a, Boyer 1959a, Edwards1979a, Grattan-Guinness 1980, and Toepliz 1963a deal with large portions of the history of calculus. The others concentrate on an individual, a period, or a concept.

    Extractions: As a specialist in mathematics and the history of mathematics, I have always been interested in your celebrated grandfather, C. F. Gauss. Lately I have, through your brother Robert Gauss of Denver, become specially interested in the great mathematician and his descendants. Your brother has given me some interesting particulars about your father; he has given me a photographic copy of a letter written by your grandfather to your father shortly before the latter's wedding. Your brother has also shown me the translation of a second letter written by your grandfather. The original of that letter is in your possession, he says. It has occurred to me that you would be willing either to supply me with an
