| dbo:abstract | Joseph Wolstenholme (1829-1891) va ser un matemàtic anglès. (ca) Joseph Wolstenholme (* 30. September 1829 in (bei Manchester), England; † 18. November 1891) war ein englischer Mathematiker. Wolstenholme war der Sohn eines methodistischen Pfarrers und studierte ab 1846 in Cambridge am St. Johns College. 1850 machte er dort seinen Abschluss als Third Wrangler (das heißt, er war Dritter in den Tripos-Prüfungen in Mathematik). 1852 wurde er Fellow des St. John’s und kurz darauf des Christ´s College. Nachdem er 1869 heiratete musste er seine Fellowship aufgeben und wurde 1871 Professor für Mathematik am Royal Indian Engineering College in Cooper´s Hill bei London. 1889 ging er in den Ruhestand. Er ist vor allem für den zahlentheoretischen Satz von Wolstenholme über die Harmonische Reihe bekannt. Wolstenholme war mit den Eltern von Virginia Woolf (ihrem Vater Leslie Stephen) befreundet und ist das Vorbild für Augustus Carmichael in Virginia Woolf´s To the Lighthouse. (de) Joseph Wolstenholme (30 de septiembre de 1829 - 18 de noviembre de 1891) fue un matemático británico. Wolstenholme nació en Eccles, cerca de Mánchester, en Inglaterra. Fue profesor de matemáticas en la en Cooper's Hill, Egham, cerca de Londres, desde el año 1871 hasta el año 1889, y fue el autor de Problemas Matemáticos. Fue un amigo íntimo de Leslie Stephen desde sus estudios de pre-graduado en Cambridge. La escritora Virginia Woolf usó su personalidad para el personaje de Augustus Carmichael en su novela Al faro. (es) Joseph Wolstenholme (30 September 1829 – 18 November 1891) was an English mathematician. Wolstenholme was born in Eccles near Salford, Lancashire, England, the son of a Methodist minister, Joseph Wolstenholme, and his wife, Elizabeth, née Clarke. He graduated from St John's College, Cambridge as Third Wrangler in 1850 and was elected a fellow of Christ's College in 1852. Collaborating with Percival Frost, a Treatise on Solid Geometry was published in 1863. Wolstenholme served as Examiner in 1854, 1856, and 1863 for Cambridge Mathematical Tripos, and according to Andrew Forsyth his book Mathematical Problems made a significant contribution to mathematical education: ...gathered together from many examination papers to form a volume, which was considerably amplified in later editions, they exercised a very real influence upon successive generations of undergraduates; and "Wolstenholme's Problems" have proved a help and stimulus to many students. In 1869 he resigned his fellowship to marry Térèse Kraus, his Swiss bride. He became a professor of mathematics at the Royal Indian Engineering College at Cooper's Hill, Egham, Surrey from 1871 to 1889. In 1878 he published an expanded version of Mathematical Problems, and in 1888 Examples for Practice in the Use of Seven-figure Logarithms. He was a close friend of Leslie Stephen from his undergraduate studies at Cambridge. Virginia Woolf used his personality for the character Augustus Carmichael in her novel To the Lighthouse. His sister was the feminist Elizabeth Clarke Wolstenholme Elmy. (en) Joseph Wolstenholme (30 septembre 1829 - 18 novembre 1891) est professeur de mathématiques, à Cambridge puis dans un collège près de Londres. Il est un spécialiste brillant de géométrie analytique et a notamment publié en 1878 "Mathematicals Problems" qui contient, entre autres et pour la première fois, l'étude des propriétés des triangles tangents à une ellipse. Sa sœur est la féministe Elizabeth Wolstenholme. Il est ami de Leslie Stephen, dont Virginia Woolf est la fille. Celle-ci s'inspire de lui pour le personnage d'Augustus Carmichael dans son roman La Promenade au phare. (fr) |
