The Great Court Run is an attempt to run round the perimeter of Great Court (approximately 367 metres), in the 43 seconds during the clock striking twelve. Students traditionally attempt the complete the circuit on the day of the Matriculation Dinner. It is a rather difficult challenge and the only people believed to have actually completed the run in time are Lord Burghley in 1927 and Sebastian Coe when he beat Steve Cram in a charity race in October 1988. Today the challenge is only open to freshers, many of whom ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Trinity College Cambridge - History The college was founded by Henry VIII in 1546, from the merger of two existing colleges: Michaelhouse (founded by Hervey de Stanton in 1324), and King's Hall (established by Edward II in 1317 and refounded by Edward III in 1337).
At the time, Henry had been wiping out and seizing church lands from abbeys and monasteries. The universities of Oxford and Cambridge, being both religious institutions and quite rich, expected to be next in line. The king duly passed an Act of Parliament that allowed him to suppress (a ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - Science and technology Leibniz's writingss are currently discussed seriously in a number of fields at the forefront of science, not only as anticipations and possible discoveries not yet recognized, but as ways of advancing present knowledge. Until the discovery of subatomic particles and the quantum mechanics governing them, many of Leibniz's speculative ideas made no sense. Leibniz devised a new theory of motion (dynamics) based on kinetic and potential energy. He anticipated Einstein by arguing, against Newton, that space, time and motion are relative, not abso ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Life Right from the beginning, the relations of America as New England with Europe were, from the philosophical point of view, ambiguous, when they were not simply difficult and, in the end, impossible. Peirce is in himself the ‘’resumé’’ of this story… from the rejection of European philosophical paradigms to the creation of new paradigms which are not only Peirce’s but America’s, and slowly but inevitably [those] of the global ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - George Boole - Legacy Boole's work was extended and refined by William Stanley Jevons, Augustus De Morgan, Charles Peirce, and William Ernest Johnson. This work was summarized by Ernst Schroder, Louis Couturat, and Clarence Irving Lewis.
Boole's work (as well as that of his intellectual progeny) was relatively obscure except among logicians, and seemed to have no practical use. Approximately seventy years after Boole's death, Claude Shannon discovered Boolean algebra while taking a philosophy class at the University of Michigan. Shannon went on to write a ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Four color theorem - False disproofs Like many famous open problems of mathematics, the four color theorem has attracted a large number of false proofs and disproofs in its long history. Some, like Kempe's and Tait's mentioned above, stood under public scrutiny for over a decade before they were exposed. But many more, authored by amateurs and cranks, were never published at all.

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Madurai - Demographics The population of Madurai City is about 1.1 million. There are 976 females per 1,000 males. The literacy rate stands at 79%, well above the national average.
Tamil is the lingua franca of Madurai and is understood by almost everyone. Tamil spoken in Madurai is relatively pure, and devoid of influences from other languages, in direct contrast with Madras Tamil. Sourashtra is spoken by members of the transmigrant Sourashtra community which maintains a significant presence in the city. Other languages such as Telugu and Hindi are also spoken in pockets of the city. Engli ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Madurai - Administration In the post-Independence era, Madurai District, headquartered at Madurai City, was one of the largest districts of Tamil Nadu. It was also the administrative headquarters of the neighboring Ramanathapuram District. However, in 1984, the then huge Madurai district was bifurcated into Madurai and Dindigul Districts for administrative convenience. Again, in 1997, it was bifurcated into Madurai and Theni Districts. Like all other districts of India, it is administered by a District Collector, a pers ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Four color theorem - Not for map-makers The four color theorem does not arise out of and has no origin in practical cartography. According to Kenneth May, a mathematical historian who studied a sample of atlases in the Library of Congress, there is no tendency to minimise the number of colors used. Many maps use color for things other than political regions. Most maps use more than four colors, and when only four colors are used, usually the mi ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Gottfried Leibniz - Philosopher It is very difficult to grasp Leibniz's philosophical thinking, because his philosophical writings consist mainly of a multitude of short pieces: journal articles, manuscripts published long after his death, and many letters to many correspondents. He only wrote two philosophical treatises, and the only one he published in his lifetime, the Théodicée of 1710, is as much theological as philosophical. Leibniz dated his beginning as a philosopher to his Discourse on Metaphysics, which he composed in 1686 as a commentary on an on ...

Gottfried Leibniz - Early life and education.
Leibniz's parents were Friedrich Leibniz and Catharina Schmuck. His father, a Professor of Moral Philosophy at the University of Leipzig, died in Leibniz's sixth year. From age 8 on, Leibniz was granted free access to his late father's library. By ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Works Peirce's reputation is based in large part on a number of academic papers published in American scholarly and scientific journals. These papers fill most of the eight volumes of the Collected Papers of Charles Sanders Peirce, published between 1931 and 1958. Perhaps the best introduction to Peirce's writings is the two volumes titled The Essential Peirce (Houser 1992, 1998).
In Peirce's day, one made a name in philosophy by publishing monographs on the subject, which he never did. Nor did he ever lay out systematically h ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Four color theorem - Real world counterexamples In the real world, not all countries are contiguous (e.g. Alaska as part of the United States, Nakhichevan as part of Azerbaijan, and Kaliningrad as part of Russia). If the chosen coloring scheme requires that the territory of a particular country must be the same color, four colors may not be sufficient. Conceptually, a constraint such as this enables the map to become non-planar, and thus the four color th ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Charles Peirce - Reception Bertrand Russell opined, "Beyond doubt … he was one of the most original minds of the later nineteenth century, and certainly the greatest American thinker ever." (Yet his Principia Mathematica fails to mention Peirce.) While reading some of Peirce's unpublished manuscripts soon after arriving at Harvard in 1924, Alfred North Whitehead was struck by the extent to which Peirce had anticipated his own "process" thinking. (On Peirce and process metaphysics, see the chapter by Lowe in Moore and Robin, 1964.) Karl Popper viewed Peirce as ...

| | | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Madurai - People and culture The people of Madurai are amicable, hospitable, and deeply respect and value their tradition. They lead a relaxed and casual lifestyle, and are not seen as very ambitious. Their mindset is conservative and old-fashioned to the extent that most do not see much point in girls' receiving higher education. They like to get their daughters married at the appropriate age, and count on their sons to support them in their old age. This is one reason among others why Madurai is seen by some more as a developed village rather than a city. Conservatism ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Bertrand Russell - Influence on philosophy It would be difficult to overstate Russell's influence on modern philosophy, especially in the English-speaking world. While others were also influential, notably, Frege, Moore, and Wittgenstein, more than any other person, Russell made analysis the dominant approach to philosophy. Moreover, he is the founder or, at the very least, the prime mover of its major branches and themes, including several versions of the philosophy of language, formal logical analysis, and the philosophy of science. The various analytic movements throughout th ...

| | | | | Augustus De Morgan: Encyclopedia II - Bertrand Russell - Biography Bertrand Russell was born on 18 May 1872 at Trellech, Monmouthshire, Wales, into an aristocratic English family. His paternal grandfather, John Russell, the 1st Earl Russell, had been Prime Minister in the 1840s and 1860s, and was the second son of the 6th Duke of Bedford. The Russells had been prominent for several centuries in Britain, and were one of Britain's leading Whig (Liberal) families. Russell's mother Kate (nee Stanley) was also from an aristocratic family, and was the sister of Rosalind Howard, Countess of Carlisle. Russell's par ...
