Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +. 1st Edition. Pp 139-150; Ix; 202 Pp. Blue Cloth, Lettered In Gilt On Spine, Blindstamped Rules On Covers. Extract From The Journal Of The Washington Academy Of Sciences (1937), A Short Biography Of Newcomb By Woolard, Tipped In At Front. A Necessary Correction Is Written By Newcomb On P. 180. Inscribed To Francis H. Parsons, Of The U. S. Coast And Geodetic Survey, On Paper (Or Paper Tape) Attached To Top Of Front Endpaper, Dated 1895. Ownership Signature Of Edgar W. Woolard On The Front Pastedown. Two Red Pencil Emphasis Marks In Margins. Parsons Was Responsible For Much Of The Work Of The Survey, And Organized Their Entire Archive Of Papers From 1844-1888 In The Early 1890'S. Edgar William Woolard (1899 ? 1978) Was An American Meteorologist, Mathematician And Planetary Scientist. In 1919, He Was Employed At The U.S. Weather Bureau As An Assistant Meteorologist, Where He Would Remain Until 1928. He Resigned To Join The Faculty Of George Washington University As A Mathematics Instructor. Woolard Was Granted His Ph.D. From The University, One Of The First Doctorates Ever To Be Awarded In What Was Then The Newly Emerging Science Of Meteorology. In 1938 He Returned To The U.S. Weather Bureau; In 1945, He Joined The Staff Of The Nautical Almanac Office At The United States Naval Observatory, Where He Served As Assistant Director. He Published A Theory Of Nutation In 1953 That Became An International Standard Model. Woolard Was Named Director Of The Nautical Almanac Office In 1958, And Remained There Until 1963. He Contributed A Chapter On Celestial Mechanics To The Work Fundamental Formulas Of Physics, 1960, Then Collaborated With Gerald M. Clemence To Author The Treatise Spherical Astronomy, 1966. Simon Newcomb (1835 ?1909) Was A Canadian?American Astronomer, Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris, France In 1870, Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris, He Realized That, In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used, There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672, And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878, Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light, Starting Development A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880, Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement, But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880, But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different, And, In 1883, Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881, Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law, Formulating The Principle That, In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data, More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit.I N 1891, Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude, Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble, Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble, As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth, Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy (1885) Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind, Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff, Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce, And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight. (Source: Wikipedia). Inscribed by Author(s).
