(1515-1579). Italian anatomist, surgeon, instrument-inventor. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … og/Files/canano.html:

Canano’s only published work was Musculorum humani corporis picturata dissectio, c. 1543, a small book but of outstanding importance for its originality. Based exclusively on direct observation of structures of the human body and of living animals, the Picturata dissectio contained the first anatomical drawings of the lumbricales and of the interossei of the hand, and the first description and drawing of the short palmar muscle and of the oblique head of the adductor pollicis, which Vesalius did not observe and which was unknown to Galen.

Another important contribution by Canano was the observation of the valves of the deep veins, and the assertion that they serve to prevent the reflux of the blood. His book on muscles was intended as the first volume of a major work on the whole of anatomy, but Vesalius’ De fabrica forestalled him.

Canano invented instruments for certain surgeries.

He received several visits from Andreas Vesalius in his home in 1540, and when he met Vesalius again in 1544 he told him about his observation of the valves of deep veins.

He was Prior of the Medical College of Ferrara.

The German mathematician Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor (1845-1918), developed a number of ideas that profoundly influenced 20^th-century mathematics. Among other accomplishments, he introduced the idea of a completed infinity, an innovation that earned him recognition as the founder and creator of set theory. He was a Messianic Jew.

“I have learned that the Bible is reliable and true, and that it can be trusted as a guide for my life. I have learned that God is real; that it is reasonable to believe and trust Him, and that He has been directing and guiding my life. I have learned that, while it is important to know God’s will for my life, it is even more important for me to be willing. I have learned that by being willing, I was able to follow the interests and talents that God gave me which, for me, were to pursue my interest in science. As a scientist, I have learned that faith in God and science are complementary and that knowing and trusting God through Jesus Christ has enhanced my understanding and appreciation of nature.”

Casseri’s achievemens are collected in three anatomical works: De vocis auditusque organis historia anatomica (Ferrara, 1600- 1601), Pentaestheseion, hoc est de quinque sensibus liber (Venice, 1609), and Tabulae anatomicae LXXIIX, omnes nec ante hac visae (Venice,1627).

He left important illustrations of the formation of the foetus.

(480/485/490-ca. 575/580/585). The Roman statesman and author Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator [surname, not rank] introduced the tradition of preserving and copying classical literature in Christian monasteries, and his writings provide information about the period of Ostrogothic rule of Italy. He exerted great influence on the preservation of works of classical literature in Christian monasteries from the 6^th century through the Middle Ages.

Alexis Caswell (1799-1877), college president and scientist, was a twin son of Samuel and Polly (Seaver) Caswell. His standing as a scientist is also shown by his election as Associate Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850, and by the government’s choice of him as one of fifty incorporators of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863. His most important publication was, perhaps, the account of his own meteorological observations at Providence, R. I., from December 1831 to May 1860, in Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge, vol. XII (1860).

Walter Cochran Bronson. Dictionary of American Biography. “[Caswell] was untroubled by the supposed conflict between science and religion; ‘the legitimate results of all true science, and all discovery,’ he wrote in 1841, ‘will be to fix the truths of Christianity upon a broader and deeper foundation.’”

(1548-1626). Italian number theorist, algebraist, and astronomer. Pietro Antonio Cataldi published 30 mathematical works in the course of his life. The most important of these treatises, published in 1613, delineated some of the earliest work on continued fractions, including its definition, common form, and symbolism using standard notation. Cataldi also used continued fractions to discover numerical square roots. Cataldi’s mathematical accomplishments were not limited to continued fractions: he published treatises concerning algebra, perfect numbers and arithmetic, and served as an editor of other mathematical books. An influential teacher as well as a mathematician, Cataldi taught at higher learning institutions in Perugia and Bologna for most of his career.

(1598-1647). Italian mathematician, geometer, theologian. At early age entered order of Jesuati; Professor at Bologna (1629). Originated the method of indivisibles, a precursor of integral calculus, which he published as Geometria indivisibilibus continuorum nova quadam ratione promota (1635) and by means of which was able to solve problems proposed by Kepler; improved method in Exercitationes geometricae sex (1647); also wrote on trigonometry, conics, etc.

http://scienceworld. … raphy/Cavalieri.html

Italian mathematician who was a student of Galileo. In 1635, he stated Cavalieri’s Principle, which states that if two solids have the same height, and if their cross sections taken parallel to and at equal distances from their bases are always equal, then the solids have the same volume. This was a stepping stone towards calculus.

(c. 1490-1558). Scholastic philosopher. Spaniard. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … og/Files/celaya.html

Celaya stayed in Paris, teaching, until 1524. During these years he maintained a prolific output in logic and natural philosophy; his commentary on the Physics is especially important for its discussion of motion.

Celaya returned to Spain about 1524. He became the Rector and professor of theology at the University of Valencia. He appears to have stayed in that position until the end of his life.

(1585-1630). Italian botanist, pharmacologist, specialist in scientific organization. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … alog/Files/cesi.html:

Cesi will always be remembered primarily for his Accademia dei Lincei, which is often cited as the first modern scientific society. He made the principal function of the Accademia the preparation of a precis of the Spanish physician, Francisco Hernandez’s Nova plantarum et mineralium mexicanorum historia (a work referred to under various titles, in one of which the word thesaurus is central) for publication. A preliminary version of this was published in 1628; the complete version appeared only in 1651, more than twenty years after Cesi’s death. It contained Cesi’s own Phytosophicae tabulae, a pioneer effort at a classification of plants.

Using a microscope (which he received from Galileo), Cesi discovered the spores of cryptogams. The final table (of the Phytosophicae tabulae) concerned the medicinal uses of plants. Cesi was a leading simpler of the age, and his herb garden was known as one of the best in Italy.

Cesi organized the Accademia dei Lincei originally in 1603, although its significant years came later when he had long since passed beyond adolescence. The Accademia is remembered primarily because Cesi enrolled Galileo in it, and Galileo referred to himself in his major works as the Academician. In addition to Galileo’s Letters on Sunspots and Il Saggiatore, the Accademia published some minor works by Porta and others.

(1637-1718). Italian natural historian, entomologist, microscopist, pharmacologist, zoologist, physician. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … g/Files/cestoni.html

Cestoni was a natural historian devoted to detailed observation--e.g., of the metamorphic cycle of the flea. He was interested in the generation of insects. In connection with his observations in entomology, he discovered (or discovered in connection with the Livornese physician Bonono) the acarid etiology of mange. Cestoni used the microscope systematically. He did experimental work on pharmacology, and his observations in natural history included things like shell fish and chameleons.

The estimation of Cestoni seems to be constantly rising, and some historians are even touting him as the most important Italian scientist (perhaps they mean in the field of the life sciences) in Italy during his age.

Cestoni was in Rome in the service of a pharmacist, 1650-56; working for a pharmacist in Livorno, 1656-60.

He traveled partly outside of Italy much of this time, although he was back in Livorno with the pharmacist part of this time. For about four months he worked for a pharmacist in Geneva, 1660-66. He settled as a pharmacist in Livorno where he spent the rest of his life. Cestoni is called a skillful surgeon as well as a pharmacist, and the epigraph on his tomb called him a physician.

(1540-1610). Dutch mathematician. Professor of fortification at Leiden (1600-10); known for computations of the value of (sometimes known as Ludolph’s number), which he finally carried to 35 decimal places.

(c. 1647-1734). Italian geometer and engineer. Giovanni Ceva was an authority on his era’s geometric problems with an vast interest in pure geometry. He proved theorems on transversals and developed what is now known as Ceva’s theorem, which concerns when lines from the vertices of a triangle to the opposite sides intersect at a common point. In Ceva’s most important work, De lineis rectis, he combined his background in mechanics and geometry to attack the problems of geometric systems. Ceva also demonstrated applications of geometry statics and wrote an early treatise on mathematical economics.

(1648-c. 1737). Italian mathematician, natural philosopher. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/ceva_tom.html

Ceva entered the Society of Jesus in 1663. He spent the whole of his adult life within the order.

At an early age he became professor of mathematics and rhetoric at Brera College in Milan (a Jesuit college), and he taught there for more than forty years.

Ceva’s Opuscula mathematica (1699), summarizing all of his mathematical work, dealt with gravity, arithmetic, geometric- harmonic means, the cyloid, division of angles, and higher order conic sections and curves.

Ceva’s contribution to mathematics was, however, modest. His first scientific work, De natura gravium (1669), dealt with physical subjects--such as gravity and free fall--in a philosophical way. However, he was later the author of Philosophia novo-antiqua (1704), which tried to yoke experimental philosophy to Scholasticism, anti-Copernicanism, and anti-Cartesianism. (Recall that he was a Jesuit.) Ramat calls the Philosophia one of the last efforts of Scholasticism against the new philosophy. Ceva was a fairly important literary and theological figure, and much more into these fields than into science.

Ceva designed an instrument to divide a right angle into a specified number of equal parts. He also prepared stage effects, such as artificial fire, for official pageants in the early 18th century.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … og/Files/cheyne.html

Cheyne’s first book was A New Theory of Fevers, 1701; in the tradition of iatromechanics. In 1703 Fluxionum methodus inversa, a pedestrian work on the calculus; he did not further pursue mathematics. Philosophical Principles of Natural Religion, 1705, and in 1715 the other half as it were, Philosophical Principles of Revealed Religion. Both of these drew heavily on Newtonian natural philosophy. All of his later medical books contained discussions of natural philosophy, a mechanistic philosophy influenced by Newtonian concepts of force, and in his old age with a vitalistic principle added.

In his years in Bath Cheyne became one of England’s most widely read medical writers, propounding a life of pious moderation (in contrast to his own early behavior, which left him weighing about 450 pounds.)

During his first years in London Cheyne supported himself as a tutor (in mathematics) to William Ker, the younger brother of the Duke of Roxburgh. Medical pactice, 1702-43, initally in London, after 1720 in Bath. Cheyne had many eminent patients, including Samuel Richardson, Alexander Pope, John Wesley, Samuel Johnson, David Hume, and members of the squirarchy and aristocracy such as Richard Tennison, Sir Joseph Jekyll, and the Countess of Huntingdon.

Membership: Royal Society, Fellow in 1702. Informal Connections: At least a peripheral member of a prominent circle of medical and scientific writers that included David Gregory, Edmund Halley, Richard Mead and John Arbuthnot. Friendship with Samuel Richardson. Correspondence with the Countess of Huntingdon.

When they could not give me answers, they brought me to see people who could or lent me books on the subject. It took several years of soul-searching, intellectual struggle and serious study of the Bible, but finally I was able to overcome the many seemingly insurmountable hurdles that stood in the way of faith. From a staunch atheist, I was transformed into a believer willing to give my life for God’s service. Looking back, I could see that the breakthrough had to be both intellectual and emotional.”

(1797-1882). Scottish toxicologist and physician. His fame as a toxicologist and medical jurist, together with his work on the pathology of the kidneys and on fevers, secured him a large private practice, and he succeeded to a fair share of the honors that commonly attend the successful physician, being appointed physician to Queen Victoria in 1848 and receiving a baronetcy in 1871. Among the books which he published were a treatise on Granular Degeneration of the Kidneys (1839), and a Commentary on the Pharmacopoeias of Great Britain (1842).

ISBN 0-8308-1599-6. “Although interpretations of data and theology may differ, the facts of reality – natural and even political reality – and the words of the Bible never do. The reason is simple. Since the one and only God who created the universe (the creation of which science has been confirming since Einstein)) also gave us the words of the Bible, and cannot lie, then it follows that both the facts of nature and the words of the Bible must fit together. The difficulty arises with interpretations of one or the other or both.”

Robert E. D. Clark wrote Contemporary Authors: “I am motivated entirely by my Christian faith. When young I was very backward (a serious illness, frequent moving, World War I bombing and shelling, a school fire). At 11 or 12 I could see little point in learning to read, since grown-ups read such rubbish. Then, word by word, sentence by sentence, I struggled through the Bible: I found it thrilling and motivating. Academically I soon shot to the top. Science fascinated me. Chemistry, because it made manipulation of unseen atoms possible, as in Christianity, you live in a world of faith as if seeing the invisible. The properties of atoms were so obviously planned to make life on a planet possible. In physics the entropy law pointed backwards to a beginning, a creation by a thoughtful Creator. In biology it seemed obvious enough (and still is to me) that Darwin did not kill the design argument.

“Now, more than half a century later, I see no reason to change these youthful views. Indeed, new discoveries have confirmed them repeatedly. Science, as I see it, is a precious gift of God; its abuse a hideous crime which is causing some to reject the gift.

“Of the many writers who have influenced me I owe the most to Robert Govett (1813-1901), an Oxford don and, later, a non-conformist minister. Though not a scientist, his superb reasoning, utter honesty, unconventionality and research-mindedness in interpreting the Bible made science come easily to me. Even today, despite his enormous output, few theologians have heard of him and large libraries have only a fraction of his writings--fortunately for me my dear mother collected and treasured his books. Without them, would I have felt that the Bible made sense? Would I ever have passed a single examination? I do not know.

“In World War I the death roll of university men had been appalling. Good teachers were not available. I can think of no one on our mediocre school staff who whetted my appetite for learning--an appetite that is still insatiable. It was nurtured in my Christian faith.”

American geneticist, medical research scientist, Federal agency administrator. Theistic evolutionist. Born April 14, 1950, in Staunton, Virginia, Francis S. Collins is a medical geneticist who is leading the international effort to map the location and function of every gene in the human body. Head of the publicly-funded National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in Washington, DC. The National Center for Human Genome Research--which is now known as the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)--was established in 1989 to serve as the world headquarters of the Human Genome Project, a monumental effort to map the location, function, and exact sequence of the constituent chemical parts of the estimated 100,000 genes in the human body. Given that this involves about three billion bits of information, the project is expected to take up to fifteen years to complete. Its ultimate goal is to make it possible for doctors to “cure” some of the diseases caused by flawed genes as well as reverse, correct, or prevent changes in cells that lead to cancer.

Francis S. Collins. “Faith and the Human Genome,” http://www.asa3.org/ … /PSCF9-03Collins.pdf

Francis Collins. http://www.meta-libr … cript/coll-body.html:

Collins:“I actually do not believe that there are any collisions between what I believe as a Christian, and what I know and have learned about as a scientist. I think there's a broad perception that that's the case, and that’s what scares many scientists away from a serious consideration of faith. But, unless one chooses to make an absolutely literal interpretation of the book of Genesis and the story of creation -- which I believe is not a choice that people made even before science came along in the last century to cast some doubt upon the timing of the creation events -- other than that I am not aware of any reasons why one cannot be a completely dedicated person of faith who believes that God inspired the writings in the Bible, and also be a rigorous, intellectually completely honest scientist, who does not accept things about the natural world until they're proven.”

Bob Abernethy. Interview with Dr. Francis Collins. http://www.pbs.org … scripts/collins.html:

Collins: “I think there’s a common assumption that you cannot both be a rigorous, show-me-the-data scientist and a person who believes in a personal God. I would like to say that from my perspective that assumption is incorrect; that, in fact, these two areas are entirely compatible and not only can exist within the same person, but can exist in a very synthetic way, and not in a compartmentalized way. I have no reason to see a discordance between what I know as a scientist who spends all day studying the genome of humans and what I believe as somebody who pays a lot of attention to what the Bible has taught me about God and about Jesus Christ. Those are entirely compatible views.

“Science is the way -- a powerful way, indeed -- to study the natural world. Science is not particularly effective -- in fact, it’s rather ineffective -- in making commentary about the supernatural world. Both worlds, for me, are quite real and quite important. They are investigated in different ways. They coexist. They illuminate each other. And it is a great joy to be in a position of being able to bring both of those points of view to bear in any given day of the week. The notion that you have to sort of choose one or the other is a terrible myth that has been put forward, and which many people have bought into without really having a chance to examine the evidence. I came to my faith not, actually, in a circumstance where it was drummed into me as a child, which people tend to assume of any scientist who still has a personal faith in God; but actually by a series of compelling, logical arguments, many of them put forward by C. S. Lewis, that got me to the precipice of saying, ‘Faith is actually plausible.’ You still have to make that step. You will still have to decide for yourself whether to believe. But you can get very close to that by intellect alone.”

Interviewed in The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God, by Lee Strobel. Zondervan, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 2004. ISBN 0-310-24144-8, (hardbound), ISBN 0-310-24050-6 (paperback).

(c. 1516-1559). Realdo Colombo was one of the first anatomists in the Western world to describe pulmonary circulation, observing that blood travels between the right and left ventricles of the heart by way of the lungs. Previously, it was believed that blood traveled through a hidden passage (or passages) connecting the ventricles. Although two other Europeans wrote about this phenomenon around the same time, it was Colombo’s book, The 15 Books Written Concerning Anatomy, that directly influenced seventeenth-century anatomist William Harvey’s concept of the heart as a pump circulating blood throughout the body.

http://www.cartage … ies/C/Colombo/1.html:

Italian anatomist who discovered pulmonary circulation, the process of blood circulating from the heart to the lungs and back. This showed that Galen’s teachings were wrong, and was of help to William Harvey in his work on the heart and circulation. Colombo was a pupil of Andreas Vesalius and became his successor at the University of Padua.

(1506-1575). Italian mathematician. Physician. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/comandno.html

Commandino was the most important figure in the translation (mostly from Greek into Latin) and publication of the classics in mathematics (for example, Euclid and Archimedes). He also translated Euclid into Italian. He added his own essay, On the Calibration of Sundials, to Ptolemy’s Planisphere, which was edited by him and published in 1562. His only other original work, dealing with the center of gravity of solid bodies, was published in 1565 at Bologna.

At the request of the anatomist Eustachio (note this, not at the request of a military figure) Commandino improved on the reduction compass apparently invented by Fabricio Mordente, developing it into the polimetric proportional compass, the forerunner of Galilio’s compass.

(1892–1962). U.S. physicist remembered for discovering the Compton effect, a phenomenon in which electromagnetic waves such as X-rays undergo an increase in wavelength after having been scattered by electrons. For this achievement he shared the 1927 Nobel Prize for Physics with the British physicist C.T.R. Wilson. Compton was also a principal contributor to the development of the atomic bomb.

(1827-1894). American chemist, b. Boston. Professor, Harvard (1850-94); investigated atomic weights of elements. He exerted a wholesome influence on American education, secondary and collegiate, by his determined and energetic championship of the study of science. As an investigator he was singularly clear in thought, undismayed by experimental difficulties, ingenious in devising apparatus and methods, and keen in his enthusiasm for research.

(1873-1954). Mathematician. He attended Exeter Academy and graduated summa cum laude in 1895 from Harvard College, where he also received a medal for running the mile in the record time of 4 minutes, 30 4/5 seconds. He then went for two years to Oxford, where he stroked the second Balliol crew and in 1897 took the first B.Sc. degree ever awarded by that university. Returning to the United States, he taught for two years at the Groton School, founded in 1884 by his cousin Endicott Peabody, before becoming an instructor in mathematics at Harvard in 1899, where he taught for the next 41 years. In 1902 Coolidge took a two-year leave of absence for graduate study in mathematics at the universities of Paris, Greifswald, Turin, and Bonn; he received the Ph.D. from Bonn in 1904 with a dissertation on non-Euclidean line geometry. Returning to Harvard he became Assistant Professor in 1908 and professor in 1918. His faculty colleagues wrote after his death: “Half-truths and slack performance were anathema to him. Many learned from him, some of them the hard way, that there can be no compromise between right and wrong. Yet he had withal a truly Christian tolerance; of him it can be said that he never forgot a kindness, nor ever remembered an injury.”

The Clarendon Press at Oxford published his Elements of Non-Euclidean Geometry in 1909 and, over the next forty years, seven other substantial books: A Treatise on the Circle and Sphere (1916), The Geometry of the Complex Domain (1924), Introduction to Mathematical Probability (1925), A Treatise on Algebraic Plane Curves (1931), A History of Geometrical Methods (1940), A History of the Conic Sections and Quadric Surfaces (1945), and The Mathematics of Great Amateurs (1949). Coolidge wrote more than seventy articles, the last of which was in press at the time of his death.

(1473 – 1543). A Polish astronomer, mathematician and economist who developed a heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory of the solar system. He was born in Torun in the Polish province of Royal Prussia. He was also a church canon, governor and administrator, a jurist, astrologer and a doctor. His theory about the Sun as the center of the solar system, turning over the traditional geocentric theory (that wanted the Earth to be its central star), is considered one of the most important discoveries ever, and is the fundamental starting point of modern astronomy. His theory affected many other aspects of human life.

From Nicolaus Copernicus http://encyclopedia. … icolaus%20Copernicus

He attended various European universities, and became a Canon in the Catholic church in 1497. His new system was actually first presented in the Vatican gardens in 1533 before Pope Clement VII who approved, and Copernicus was urged to publish around this time. Copernicus was never under any threat of religious persecution - and was urged to publish both by Catholic Bishop Guise, Cardinal Schonberg, and the Protestant Professor George Rheticus. Copernicus referred sometimes to God in his works, and did not see his system as in conflict with the Bible.

(1650-1718). Italian geographer, cartographer, engineer. Hydraulics specialist. Inventor. Catholic.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/coroneli.html

Coronelli’s work includes more than 100 large and small globes that have survived, several hundred maps, printed separately and as parts of atlases, an incredible number of geographic and cartographic publications, and seven volumes of a projected forty-five volume encyclopedia (Biblioteca universale).

It is partly for his globes that Coronelli is remembered: their accuracy, the wealth of information displayed, and their artistic excellence distinquish their maker as one of the leading geographers and cartographers of the baroque period. In the early 80’s he made two famous globes, one celestial and one terrestrial, for Louis XIV--four meters in diameter. He later made a globe three meters in diameter for Innocent XII, and for the Duke of Parma he made globes of about four feet in diameter. He made a host of smaller ones, down to one inch.

He also published on geography, with special attention to Venetian conquests (not then known to be temporary) from the Turks. His Atlante veneto, 1690f, included 1,200 maps. His maps incorporated the latest discoveries.

At the end of his life he published a work on hydrostatics, Effete naturali delle acque.

He was known as a civil engineer in Venice, and was invited to Vienna and consulted by the emperor on flood control measures in 1717. In 1699 Innocent XII called him to Rome to sound the harbor of Anzio. He was the inventor of a number of military machines (canons, mortars, etc.).

Founded the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti in Venice in 1684. It was the first geographical society. The academy had an immense success, enrolling some 200 members from all of Europe by 1693. Its only function was to promote the works of Coronelli.

(1929-1998). Information scientist.

Association for Information Systems. “J. Daniel Couger,” http://www.aisnet.or … ard/bios/couger.html

“Dan Couger was one of the important developers of the academic field of information systems and also an important contributor to information systems practice. His publications provided essential source material for the field. His research aided the development of IS personnel. He was a participant in the most significant IS model curriculum efforts. His influence was global.
Dan earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from Philips University in Enid, Oklahoma, in 1951. After two years in the Air Force and a short stint as an industrial engineer with a government contractor, he went to work in 1954 for Hallmark, where he was unsuccessful in his attempt to get ‘Mr. Hall,’ the company’s founder, to buy a computer for the company. Dan earned a Master’s degree in Economics from the University of Kansas and a Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Colorado in 1964.
He joined the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, in 1965. Dan was one of the founding professors for IS at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, and a pioneer in teaching students how to combine computer technology with business strategy. He was honored by his university with the rank of distinguished professor. In 1998, Scott Oki, a former student, endowed the J. Daniel Couger Professorship of Information Systems. Dan was elected a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery, one of a very small number who have been so recognized. Among other awards was the Outstanding Teacher Award by the DPMA.
During the critical years at the beginning of the field, Dan published the Computing Newsletter for Collegiate Schools of Business, supported initially by IBM. It was the best source of information on current developments affecting teaching of computing and information systems in schools of business.
Dan was involved in major model curricula efforts for information systems. He was a member of the committee that produced the 1972 ACM graduate program. He was the author of the 1973 ACM undergraduate model curriculum report. He was a member of the 1983 revision of the ACM Information Systems curriculum. He continued this involvement through the 1997 report, “IS’97 Model Curriculum and Guidelines for Undergraduate Degree Programs in Information Systems,” by ACM, AIS, and AITP.
He wrote 18 books, had hundreds of articles published in professional journals, and lectured in more than 60 countries. Several of his books are noteworthy contributions to the field. Two of the books filled a need in the field by describing systems analysis and techniques and methodologies: System Analysis Techniques (with R. W. Knapp, Wiley, New York, 1974) and Advanced System Development/Feasibility Techniques (with M. A. Colter and R. W. Knapp, Wiley, New York, 1982). He published the results of pathbreaking research on IS personnel (Motivating and Managing Computer Personnel, with R. Zawacki, Wiley, New York, 1980; Maintenance Programming: Improved Productivity through Motivation, with M. A. Colter, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1985). At his death, he was actively engaged in research on creativity with special emphasis on creativity of information systems personnel (Creativity & Innovation in Information Systems Organizations, Boyd & Fraser, Danvers, CT, 1996).”

(1904-1999). Chemist, engineer, metallurgist. One of the five founders of the American Scientific Affiliation. Chief Engineer and Metallurgist at Thompson Steel Co. in Mattapan, MA, 1937-1969. Born in Worcester, Irving earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at MIT and doctorate at Columbia University. He taught chemistry at Columbia from 1930-37, then joined Thompson Steel. He retired in 1969.

F. Alton Everest. “Irving A. Cowperthwaite, 1904-1999,” http://users.stargat … dfeucht/SEPOCT99.htm:

“Irving received the BS degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in chemistry in 1926. About that time Professor D.A. MacInnes left MIT for Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research and he took Cowperthwaite with him. For the next four years Irving was a research chemist at Rockefeller Institute in New York City while pursuing a full graduate Ph.D. program at Columbia University.

In 1937 Irving left Columbia University to become Chief Engineer and Metallurgist at Thompson Wire Company in Boston. He retired from Thompson in 1969 with an impressive list of scientific papers to his credit.

Irving married Fae Irene Poore, a graduate student at Teachers College, in 1931 whom he had met at Calvary Baptist Church of New York City. An interesting twist: Will H. Houghton was pastor of Calvary at that time. It was in Dr. Houghton’s Board Room at Moody Bible Institute that ASA ‘first saw the light of day.’”

(1900-1978). American stastician. Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University at Raleigh. Founder of the Department of Experimental Statistics at North Carolina State University (1940), the Institute of Statistics of the Consolidated University of North Carolina (1946), and the Statistics Research Division of the Research Triangle Institute. President of the American Statistical Association (1956). In 1949 became the first female elected into the International Statistical Institute (1949). Elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.

Cox made substantial contributions to the theory of statistics and experimental design. Richard Anderson wrote in Biographical Memoirs that her most valuable contribution to science was organizing and administering programs. She was exceptionally successful in generating financial support for research.

Although she received numerous honors, including her 1975 election to the National Academy of Sciences, Cox was particularly pleased with the dedication of the statistics building at North Carolina State University as “Cox Hall” in 1970 and the establishment by her former students of the $200,000 Gertrude M. Cox Fellowship Fund for outstanding students in statistics at NCS in 1977.

Born in Birmingham in 1802, educated at King Edward’s School, articled to his Father (a Birmingham Surgeon), he began to study at the General Hospital and continued his studies at Guy’s and St. Thomas’s Hospitals in London and Paris. He returned to Birmingham in 1825, and giving up all thought of acquiring a large general practice resolved to start a School of Anatomy of his own.

(1610-1644). English astronomer. Cartographer. Instrument-maker.

The Galileo Project, http://es.rice.edu/E … /Files/crabtree.html

Crabtree made precise observations, which convinced him of the accuracy of the Rudolphine Tables; he became one of the early converts to Kepler’s system. He converted the tables to decimal form. By observation he established the latitude of Manchester. He was one of the earliest Englishmen to study the sunspots. He collaborated with Horrock’s work on the moon. Crabtree was occasionally employed as a surveyer, and a map of the estate of Sir Humphrey Booth that he did in 1637 survives.

He recognized the importance of instruments in refining observational accuracy, and his correspondence with Gascoigne is filled with discussions of this issue. The correspondence refers to clocks, telescopes, micrometers, and related pieces. Like Horrocks and Gascoigne, he apparently made his own telescopes and other instruments (which means, for parts other than lenses, that he employed local craftsmen to make things to his specifications).

(Born 1949). Scholar. William Lane Craig is Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California.

Croone was especially interested in muscular action and embryology. He published De ratione motus musculorum in 1664, and in 1672 read a paper , “De formatione pulli in ovo,” (radically preformationist) to the Royal Society in 1672. He gave reports to the Royal Society on a range of physiological questions. He lectured on anatomy to the Barber Surgeons for years, and also pursued some comparative anatomy. As an experimenter he was associated with Boyle’s study of pressure and volume in air. Croone discovered, and demonstrated experimentally, that water has its maximum density above the freezing point. He carried out systematic observations of the weather with crude thermometers and hygroscopes and with barometers.

Member: Medical College, Royal Society, 1660-84. Croone was one of the original members.

(?-1811). English chemist William Cruickshank designed the first electric battery capable of mass production (1802) by joining zinc and copper plates in a wooden box filled with electrolyte. He also performed experiments leading to electroplating. Discovered the metal strontium in 1787. Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Academy at Woolwich. He described and studied proteinuria in 1799 in Rollo’s Diabetes (see Neild G 1998).

Member: Fellow of Royal Society, 1802.

“Batteries in a Portable World,” http://www.buchmann. … a/Article3-page3.asp

“The Heritage of Alessandro Volta,” http://dibinst.mit.e … Volta/chapter13.html

“The first of the long list of those to improve the battery was Dr. William Cruickshank who discovered the metal strontium in 1787. He arranged square sheets of copper which he soldered at their edges to similar sized sheets of zinc. These couples were placed into a long rectangular wooden box lined with a resinous cement. The couples were set into grooves and an electrolyte of brine or dilute acid was added to fill the box. This arrangement avoided the drying out of the spacers as in Volta's battery and also provided a much more powerful source of electric current.

“With this battery Dr. Cruickshank was able to extract metals out of their solutions, thereby establishing the art of electroplating. Although the new arrangement was an important improvement, the cells still leaked and were untidy. Cruickshank decomposed the chlorides of magnesia, soda and ammonia and he was able to precipitate pure copper and silver from their salt solutions - a process that led to the beginnings of the great metal refineries of today.

“Additional discoveries showed that the liquid around the poles connected with the positive wire of the battery proved to be alkaline and the liquid around the negative wire was shown to be acid. Finally, the common term ‘cell’ associated with the elements of an electric battery was derived from Cruickshank's arrangement of elements in his trough battery.”

(Often confused with the chemist William Cruickshank of Woolwich)

(1745-1800). Scottish surgeon who discovered the ovum in mammals. Incorrectly labeled as “Cruickshanks” in the following biography.

“Significant Scots: William Cruickshanks,” http://www.electri … ckshanks_william.htm:

“CRUICKSHANKS, WILLIAM, F.R.S. an eminent surgeon in London, the assistant, partner, and successor of the famous Dr. William Hunter of the Windmill Street Anatomical School, was the son of an officer in the excise, and was born at Edinburgh in the year 1745.

“After completing the elementary branches of his education at the schools of Edinburgh, he commenced the study of divinity at that university; but he soon forsook his clerical studies and directed his attention to medicine. With a view to that profession, he removed to Glasgow, where he went through a complete course of medical education at the university. Having devoted eight years of his life to assiduous study, he obtained, through the recommendation of Dr. Pitcairn, the situation of librarian to Dr. William Hunter of London; and so highly did that great man estimate his talents, that he soon after appointed him his assistant, and ultimately raised him to the honour of being his partner, in superintending his establishment in Windmill Street. On the death of Dr. Hunter in the year 1783, the students of that institution thought so favourably of Mr. Cruickshanks' professional acquirements, that they presented an address to him, and to the late Dr. Baillie, requesting that they might assume the superintendence of the school; which they did.

“Mr. Cruickshanks is known to the world by his medical publications; and as a teacher and writer he acquired a high reputation for his knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In the year 1786, he published his principal work The Anatomy of the absorbent vessels of the Human Body, a production of acknowledged merit, which has been translated into several languages. He also wrote an ingenious paper on the nerves of living animals, which establishes the important fact of the regeneration of mutilated nerves. This paper, however, although read before the Royal Society, was not published in the transactions of that body until several years afterwards. This delay was owing to the interference of Sir John Pringle, who conceived that Mr. Cruickshanks had controverted some of the opinions of the great HaIler. In the year 1797, Mr. Cruickshanks was elected fellow of the Royal Society. [Note: The Royal Society names him as ‘Cruickshank’.] In 1799, he made his experiments on insensible perspiration, which he added to his work on the absorbent vessels.”

Biography. http://www.athenains … tute.com/biowbc.html

The French zoologist and biologist Baron Georges Léopold Cuvier (1769-1832) made significant contributions in the fields of paleontology, comparative anatomy, and taxonomy and was one of the chief spokesmen for science in post-revolutionary France.

http://www.nceas.ucs … roy/lefa/Cuvier.html

(1401-1464). German geometer, theologian, philosopher, and prelate. He advocated that the earth revolved on axis around sun, before Newton and Copernicus. While Nicholas led a life of service to the Roman Catholic Church, rising to the position of cardinal (1448-64), he wrote several important philosophical works, including mathematical treatises, that profoundly influenced Western thought. Nicholas studied law and mathematics at the University of Padua, receiving his doctorate in Canon Law. Although better known as a philosopher than a mathematician, his interest in mathematics, far from being purely academic, reflected his passionate desire to understand the universe and situate it in the context of his mystical conception of God.

J. J. O’Connor and E F Robertson. http://www-gap.dcs … ematicians/Cusa.html, or http://history.math. … ematicians/Cusa.html. Excerpt:

“He was ordained in 1440 and became a cardinal in 1448 and then became the bishop of Brixon (now Bressanone) in 1450. (The ‘cardinal’ was a title, while the ‘bishop’ was an office.)

He was interested in geometry and logic. He contributed to the study of infinity, studying the infinitely large and the infinitely small. He looked at the circle as the limit of regular polygons and used it in his religious teaching to show how one can approach truth but never reach it completely.

In 1444 he became interested in astronomy and purchased sixteen books on astronomy, a wooden celestial globe, a copper celestial globe and various astronomical instruments including an astrolabe.

His interest in astronomy certainly led him to … claim that the Earth moved round the Sun … that the stars were other suns and that space was infinite. He also believed that the stars had other worlds orbiting them which were inhabited. He got so much right that perhaps this will also be found to be true one day!”

“In 1993 Mark Wauchope founded Apache Digital as a sole proprietorship with the initial goal to help put himself through the University of Houston. Through the next three years, he built up a small successful business on the reputation of providing excellent service and training in the local PC market. Apache Digital Corporation was incorporated in January 1995 and the company moved to Durango Colorado.

Focusing on Next, Linux, and Unix operating systems, Apache Digital equipment quickly became popular in the scientific community. The first Apache website included one of the first, if not the first, online custom configurator in the industry.

Manufacturing of custom hardware, tailored to the specific needs of the customer, became an entre to a variety of organizations with specialized computing requirements; both American and international. Soon a variety of Universities and research institutes were purchasing Apache Digital equipment; most of the systems being utilized for the Genome Project. Word of mouth recommendation within the genome research community resulted in an even broader range of Academic customers.

In 1999, Apache Digital launched the first turnkey system for Internet Service Providers. This product was tailored for the booming start-up ISP market. It included customized management software developed in-house. The ISP system led to other turnkey solutions including an all-in–one Intranet system that provided schools and companies with expanded in-house capabilities.

1999 saw our entry into the cluster environment. Apache custom tailored a cluster solution for the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2001 Apache teamed with Render Corp. a Canadian company specializing in cluster interface software for computer animation to build a render farm. Cluster products have since shipped for a variety of applications.”

“Vinton G. Cerf is senior vice president of Technology Strategy for MCI. In this role, Cerf is responsible for helping to guide corporate strategy development from the technical perspective. In the fast moving world of telecommunications and Internet technology development, technical capabilities can have a critical impact on the success of corporate business strategies including product and service development, infrastructure investment and strategic acquisitions and partnerships. From 1994-2003, Cerf served as senior vice president of architecture and technology, moving to a strategic role in mid-2003.

Widely known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” Cerf is the co-designer of the TCP/IP protocols and the architecture of the Internet. In December 1997, President Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Cerf and his partner, Robert E. Kahn, for founding and developing the Internet.

Prior to rejoining MCI in 1994, Cerf was vice president of the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI). As vice president of MCI Digital Information Services from 1982-1986, he led the engineering of MCI Mail, the first commercial email service to be connected to the Internet.

During his tenure from 1976-1982 with the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Cerf played a key role leading the development of Internet and Internet-related data packet and security technologies.

Vint Cerf serves as chairman of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Cerf served as founding president of the Internet Society from 1992-1995 and in 1999 served a term as chairman of the Board. In addition, Cerf is honorary chairman of the IPv6 Forum, dedicated to raising awareness and speeding introduction of the new Internet protocol. Cerf served as a member of the U.S. Presidential Information Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC) from 1997 to 2001 and serves on several national, state and industry committees focused on cyber-security. Cerf sits on the Board of Directors for the Endowment for Excellence in Education, Folger Shakespeare Library, Gallaudet University, the MarcoPolo Foundation, Digex, Incorporated, Avanex Corporation, Nuance Corporation, CoSine Corporation and the Hynomics Corporation. Cerf is a Fellow of the IEEE, ACM, and American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the International Engineering Consortium, the Computer History Museum and the National Academy of Engineering.

Cerf is a recipient of numerous awards and commendations in connection with his work on the Internet. These include the Marconi Fellowship, Charles Stark Draper award of the National Academy of Engineering, the Prince of Asturias award for science and technology, the Alexander Graham Bell Award presented by the Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf, the NEC Computer and Communications Prize, the Silver Medal of the International Telecommunications Union, the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, the IEEE Koji Kobayashi Award, the ACM Software and Systems Award, the ACM SIGCOMM Award, the Computer and Communications Industries Association Industry Legend Award, the Yuri Rubinsky Web Award, the Kilby Award , the Yankee Group/Interop/Network World Lifetime Achievement Award, the George R. Stibitz Award, the Werner Wolter Award, the Andrew Saks Engineering Award, the IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the Computerworld/Smithsonian Leadership Award, the J.D. Edwards Leadership Award for Collaboration, World Institute on Disability Annual award and the Library of Congress Bicentennial Living Legend medal.

In December, 1994, People magazine identified Cerf as one of that year’s “25 Most Intriguing People.”

In addition to his work on behalf of WorldCom and the Internet, Cerf has served as a technical advisor to production for Gene Roddenberry’s Earth: Final Conflict. and made a special guest appearance on the program in May 1998. Cerf has appeared on television programs NextWave with Leonard Nimoy and on World Business Review with Alexander Haig and Caspar Weinberger. Cerf also holds an appointment as distinguished visiting scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he is working on the design of an interplanetary Internet.

Cerf holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from Stanford University and Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from UCLA. He also holds honorary Doctorate degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich; Lulea University of Technology, Sweden; University of the Balearic Islands, Palma; Capitol College, Maryland; Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania; George Mason University, Virginia; Rovira i Virgili University, Tarragona, Spain; Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York; and University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands.”

Cerf was raised in a strict, patriotic, Protestant family, but his imagination ran wild between the rocket tests and his love of science fiction, which he still harbors.

(Born 1931).

<pre> Physicist, educator. Shared 1980 Nobel Prize in physics with Val Fitch for researching K-mesons, one of several contributions he has made to elementary particle physics. The laws of symmetry, which state that the amount of a substance's charge, energy, or matter aren't altered by internal changes or reactions, were once considered to be a fundamental part of physical law. James Cronin has devoted significant time and energy to tracking cosmic rays that are somehow traveling through the earth's atmosphere and landing in places where, according to the rules of physics, their existence should be impossible. For his investigation of this mystery, Cronin received the 1999 National Medal of Science. </pre>
