** GEOMETRY PROJECT ** In this project we have to major the out field of school and make scale drawings of it. We have to use the shapes that we have learned in Geometry. Presentation of it Monday and tuesday 17 & 18 May.

Famous mathematician. **Mikhail Leonidovich Gromov** (Russian: Михаи́л Леони́дович Гро́мов; born 23 December 1943) also romanized as Mikhael Gromov or Michael Gromov) is a Franco-[|Russian] mathematician nown for important contributions in many different areas of mathematics. He is considered a geometer in a very broad sense of the word.

work Gromov's style of geometry features a "coarse" or "soft" viewpoint, often analyzing asymptotic or large-scale properties. His impact has been felt most heavily in geometric group theory, where he characterized groups of polynomial growth and created the notion of hyperbolic group; [|symplectic topology], where he introduced pseudoholomorphic curves, and in Riemannian geometry. His work, however, has delved deeply into analysis and algebra, where he will often formulate a problem in "geometric" terms. For example, his homotopy principle (h-principle) on differential relations is the basis for a geometric theory of [|partial differentia equations]. Gromov studied for a doctorate (1973) in Leningrad, where he was a student of Vladimir Rokhlin. He is now a permanent member of IHÉS, and a Professor of Mathematics at New York University.

Famous mathematician. For others of the same surname, see Molyneux.
 * William Molyneux** (17 April 1656 – 11 October 1698, both in Dublin) was an Irish natural philosopher and writer on politics. Born in Dublin to Samuel Molyneux (1616–1693), lawyer and landowner, and his wife, Anne, née Dowdall, the second of five children, William Molyneux came from a relatively prosperous Anglican background. In 1671 Molyneux began to attend Trinity College, Dublin where he became an avid reader of the leading figures of the Scientific Revolution. After attaining a Bachelor of Arts there, Molyneux was sent to study law in the Middle Temple, London from 1675-8. In 1678 he married Lucy Domville (?-1691), the youngest daughter of Sir William Domville the attorney-general for Ireland. His wife became ill after their marriage and died young. Of their 3 children, only Samuel Molyneux (1689-1728) lived past childhood. Samuel went on to become an astronomer and politician who worked with his father on various scientific endeavors.

Career & Publications
Due to his inheritance, Molyneux was financially independent. Nonetheless, he held a number of official positions throughout his life. Molyneux was appointed [|Joint Surveyor General of the king's buildings and works in Ireland] in 1684; he represented Dublin University from 1692 until his death. He had also served as a commissioner of forfeited estates in 1693, resigning a few months later due to ill health. Meanwhile, Molyneux was responsible for a number of publications reflecting his diverse interests. His first book was editing and translating into English the work of René Descartes which was published in London, 1680 as //Six Metaphysical Meditations, Wherein it is Proved that there is a God...//. In 1682 Molyneux collaborated with Roderic O'Flaherty to collect material for Moses Pitt's //Atlas//. In 1685, Pitt's financial crisis lead to cancellation of the project but much valuable early Irish history had been collected. Molyneux struck a friendship with O'Flaherty and assisted when the latter's treatise //Ogygia// was published in London. Meanwhile, in October 1683 he founded the Dublin Philosophical Society along the lines of the Royal Society (of which Molyneux became a fellow in 1685). He was active in the proceedings of the society - recording weather data, calculating eclipses and demonstrating instruments and experiments. Molyneux also published several papers in Philosophical Transactions, as well as papers on optics, natural philosophy, and miscellaneous topics. Perhaps his best known scientific work was //Dioptrica Nova, A treatise of dioptricks in two parts, wherein the various effects and appearances of spherick glasses, both convex and concave, single and combined, in telescopes and microscopes, together with their usefulness in many concerns of humane life, are explained//, published in London 1692. After John Locke published his //Essay Concerning Human Understanding// (1690), Molyneux wrote to him praising the work. Early in 1698, Molyneux published //The Case of Ireland's being Bound by Acts of Parliament in England, Stated//. This controversial work - through application of historical and legal precedent - dealt with contentious constitutional issues that had emerged in the latter years of the seventeenth century as a result of attempts on the part of the English Parliament to pass laws that would suppress the Irish woolen trade. It also dealt with the disputed appellate jurisdiction of the Irish House of Lords. Molyneux's arguments reflected those made in an unpublished piece written by his father-in-law Sir William Domville, entitled //A Disquisition Touching That Great Question Whether an Act of Parliament Made in England Shall Bind the Kingdom and People of Ireland Without Their Allowance and Acceptance of Such Act in the Kingdom of Ireland.// Following a debate in the English House of Commons, it was resolved that Molyneux's publication was ‘of dangerous consequence to the crown and people of England by denying the authority of the king and parliament of England to bind the kingdom and people of Ireland’. Despite condemnation in England, Molyneux was punished. His arguments remained topical in Ireland as constitutional issues arose throughout the eighteenth century, and formed part of Swift's argument in //Drapier's Letters//. The tract also gained attention in the American colonies as they moved towards independence. Although //The Case of Ireland, Stated// was later associated with independence movements - both in Ireland and America - as one historian points out, 'Molyneux's constitutional arguments can easily be misinterpreted' and he was 'in no sense a separatist'.

Famous mathematician. **François Viète** Vieta's grandfather was a merchant from La Rochelle. His father, Etienne Viète, was an attorney in Fontenay-le-Comte and a notary in Le Busseau. His mother was the aunt of Barnabé Brisson, a magistrate and the first president of parliament during the ascendancy of the Catholic League of France. Born 1540 in Fontenay-le-Comte, Vieta went to a Franciscan school and in 1558 studied law at Poitiers, graduating as a Bachelor of Law in 1559. A year later, he began his career as an attorney in his native town. From the outset, he was entrusted with some major cases, including the settlement of rent in Poitou for the widow of King Francis I of France and looking after the interests of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Works
Between 1564 and 1568, Vieta prepared for his student, Catherine de Parthenay, some textbooks of astronomy and trigonometry and a treaty that was never published: //Harmonicon coelestis.// //Francisci Vietœi universalium inspectionum ad canonem mathematicum liber singularis; a book of trigonometry, in abbreviated Canonen mathematicum//, where there are many formulas on the sine and cosine. It is unusual in using decimal numbers. These trigonometric tables exceeded those of Regiomontanus (Triangulate Omnimodis, 1533) and Rheticus (1543, annexed to De revolutionibus ... of Copernicus). The same year: The //Eighth Book of the varied responses,// in which he talks about the problems of the trisection of the angle (which he acknowledges that it is bound to an equation of third degree) of squaring the circle, building the regular heptagon, etc. The same year, based on geometrical considerations and through trigonometric calculations perfectly mastered, he discovered the first infinite product in history of mathematics by giving an expression of π He provides 10 decimal places of π by applying the Archimedes method to a polygon with 6 × 216 = 393 216 sides. In 1595: //Ad mathematics problema quod omnibus totius orbis construendum proposuit Adrianus Romanus, Vietae responsum Francisci//. Paris, Mettayer, in 4, 16 fol; text about the Adriaan van Roomen problem. In 1600, //numbers potestatum ad exegesim resolutioner.// Paris, Le Clerc, 36 fol; work that provided the means for extracting roots and solutions of equations of degree at most 6. //Francisci Vietae Apollonius Gallus.// Paris, Le Clerc, in 4, 13 fol., where he referred to himself as the French Apollonius. In 1602, //Francisci Vietae Fontenaeensis libellorum supplicum Regia magistri in relatio Kalendarii Gregorian vere ad ecclesiasticos doctores exhibits Pontifici Maximi Clementi VIII.// Anno Christi I600 jubilaeo. Paris, Mettayer, in 4, fol 40 //Francisci and Vietae adversus Christophorum Clavium expostulatio.// Paris, Mettayer, in 4, 8 p exposing his theses against Clavius.

 * From 1571, he published at his own expense and with great printing difficulties:
 * In 1589: //Deschiffrement escription of a letter by the Commander Moreo at Roy Espaigne of his master//. Tours, Mettayer, 1590, p. 20
