India - Varanasi 2011 by YeeChao, Koh

3 7

The land of Varanasi (Kashi) has been the ultimate pilgrimage spot for Hindus for ages. Often referred to as Benares, Varanasi is the oldest living city in the world. These few lines by Mark Twain say it all: "Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together". Hindus believe that one who is graced to die on the land of Varanasi would attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and re-birth. Abode of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the origins of Varanasi are yet unknown. Ganges in Varanasi is believed to have the power to wash away the sins of mortals.

Ganges is said to have its origins in the tresses of Lord Shiva and in Varanasi, it expands to the mighty river that we know of. The city is a center of learning and civilization for over 3000 years. With Sarnath, the place where Buddha preached his first sermon after enlightenment, just 10 km away, Varanasi has been a symbol of Hindu renaissance. Knowledge, philosophy, culture, devotion to Gods, Indian arts and crafts have all flourished here for centuries. Also a pilgrimage place for Jains, Varanasi is believed to be the birthplace of Parsvanath, the twenty-third Tirthankar.

Vaishnavism and Shaivism have co-existed in Varanasi harmoniously. With a number of temples, Mrs. Annie Besant chose Varanasi as the home for her 'Theosophical Society' and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, to institute 'Benares Hindu University, the biggest University in Asia. Ayurveda is said to be originated at Varanasi and is believed to be the basis of modern medical sciences such as Plastic surgery, Cataract and Calculus operations. Maharshi Patanjali, the preceptor of Ayurveda and Yoga, was also affiliated with Varanasi, the holy city. Varanasi is also famous for its trade and commerce, especially for the finest silks and gold and silver brocades, since the early days.

Varanasi has also been a great center of learning for ages. Varanasi is associated with promotion of spiritualism, mysticism, Sanskrit, yoga and Hindi language and honored authors such as the ever-famous novelist Prem Chand and Tulsi Das, the famous saint-poet who wrote Ram Charit Manas. Aptly called as the cultural capital of India, Varanasi has provided the right platform for all cultural activities to flourish. Many exponents of dance and music have come from Varanasi. Ravi Shankar, the internationally renowned Sitar maestro and Ustad Bismillah Khan, (the famous Shehnai player) are all sons of the blessed city or have lived here for major part of their lives

Sydney Margaret HAMILTON - a gutsy woman! by SandyEm

Here lies the body

Of

Sydney Margaret HAMILTON

Last surviving sister of

Sir William Rowan HAMILTON

Royal Astronomer of Ireland

And discoverer of the

Calculus of Quaternions

Born in Dublin, she fell asleep

in Christ in Auckland, N.Z.

3 March 1889

Aged 78

Auckland Star, Volume XX, Issue 53, 4 March 1889, Page 8

HAMILTON: On March 3rd at the residence of Mrs Robertson, top of Hobson Street, Sydney Margaret HAMILTON, third daughter of the late Archibald HAMILTON of 47 Lower Dominnick

Street, Dublin and only surviving sister of the Late Sir Wm Rowan HAMILTON Astronomer Royal and Royal Astronomer, Ireland. Aged 78 years. [3]

“Before William Rowan Hamilton (1805-1865) had graduated from Trinity College Dublin, he was appointed in 1827 as Professor of Astronomy and Royal Astronomer of Ireland. He trained three of his many sisters to operate Dunsink Observatory for him, whilst he worked on his mathematics. His invention of quaternions in 1843 made him one of the most renowned mathematicians of the 19th century. His third sister Sydney Margaret Hamilton (1811-1889) administered the Observatory, did much of the observing and performed extensive computations to reduce the observational data to publishable form.

Sydney lived in Nicaragua from 1863 to 1874. Her scientific friends tried twice to arrange a Civil List Pension for her from the British Government, but their appeals were rejected first by Disraeli and then by Gladstone. Accordingly, Sydney sailed from Dublin in 1875 to Auckland, to earn her living at the age of 64 as Matron of the Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Auckland. To her surprise, New Zealand's elder statesman Sir George Grey (1812-1896) was eager to meet her as sister of the great Hamilton. Grey had intense interest in science, he was a personal friend of many scientists, and at the age of 63 he was studying quaternions. Grey's magnificent gifts to Auckland Public Library include many papers which Sydney presented to him, including manuscripts of William Rowan Hamilton and editions of two of his major books which are earlier than any listed in any of the biographies and bibliographies of Hamilton. Grey attended Sydney's funeral in 1889, when she was buried in Rosebank Road cemetery in Auckland, across the road from Avondale College. Archdeacon Robert Perceval Graves, author of the 4-volume biography of William Rowan Hamilton, later arranged for a tombstone to be erected on Sydney's grave.

In 1993, Marina View Primary School in Auckland inaugurated a Sydney Margaret Hamilton Prize in Mathematics. The pupils are taken to pay homage at the grave of Sydney Margaret Hamilton.” [1]

[I wonder if they still pay homage? Surely if so, then it may have been mentioned how neglected the grave is now and something may happen to reinstate it to it’s former glory. As mentioned on Lisa Truttman's blog Timespanner' "At present, her grave is sadly neglected. The grave itself has been engulfed by a wild tree allowed to grow right in the grave area itself, and the headstone is being crowded out by the trunk of the tree". That was on her visit in 2002 and subsequently posted it on her blog 2008.

“If ever there was a child prodigy, Hamilton was it. He grew up with his uncle who was a bit of an eccentric; for instance, he tied a string around young William's toe at night, ran it through a hole in the wall into his own bedroom, and then early each morning he would tug on the string to wake him and start him on his studies. By the age of 12, William was fluent in 10 languages”...” [2]

Cadets Practice Hands-on Calculus by West Point - The U.S. Military Academy

Sophomore cadets conduct hands-on training to illustrate projectile motion as part of their Integral Calculus class Sept. 22. From left to right, Robert Atwell throws a ball across The Plain while Jeremiah Zingapan measures the angle of the throw, Davis Arrowchis measures its time with a stopwatch and Ian Lenny records the data on a laptop. After each throw, they used the measured angle, time and distance to determine its initial velocity. Each cadet took turns recording data in a spreadsheet that calculates speed as well as the “x” and “y” components of the position and velocity vectors. (Photo by Capt. Robert Nowicki / Dept. of Math)

Her scientific friends tried twice to arrange a Civil List Pension for her from the British Government, but their appeals were rejected first by Disraeli and then by Gladstone. Accordingly, Sydney sailed from Dublin in 1875 to Auckland, to earn her living at the age of 64 as Matron of the Pauper Lunatic Asylum in Auckland. To her surprise, New Zealand's elder statesman Sir George Grey (1812-1896) was eager to meet her as sister of the great Hamilton. Grey had intense interest in science, he was a personal friend of many scientists, and at the age of 63 he was studying quaternions. Grey's magnificent gifts to Auckland Public Library include many papers which Sydney presented to him, including manuscripts of William Rowan Hamilton and editions of two of his major books which are earlier than any listed in any of the biographies and bibliographies of Hamilton. Grey attended Sydney's funeral in 1889, when she was buried in Rosebank Road cemetery in Auckland, across the road from Avondale College. Archdeacon Robert Perceval Graves, author of the 4-volume biography of William Rowan Hamilton, later arranged for a tombstone to be erected on Sydney's grave.

In 1993, Marina View Primary School in Auckland inaugurated a Sydney Margaret Hamilton Prize in Mathematics. The pupils are taken to pay homage at the grave of Sydney Margaret Hamilton.” [1]

[I wonder if they still pay homage? Surely if so, then it may have been mentioned how neglected the grave is now and something may happen to reinstate it to it’s former glory. As mentioned on Lisa Truttman's blog Timespanner' "At present, her grave is sadly neglected. The grave itself has been engulfed by a wild tree allowed to grow right in the grave area itself, and the headstone is being crowded out by the trunk of the tree". That was on her visit in 2002 and subsequently posted it on her blog 2008.

Sir William Rowan HAMILTON – a very interesting read

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Rowan_Hamilton

He died 2 September 1865 & is buried in St Jerome Cemetery in Dublin.

“If ever there was a child prodigy, Hamilton was it. He grew up with his uncle who was a bit of an eccentric; for instance, he tied a string around young William's toe at night, ran it through a hole in the wall into his own bedroom, and then early each morning he would tug on the string to wake him and start him on his studies. By the age of 12, William was fluent in 10 languages”...” [2]
