Charles Hinton in 1880 published an article entitled “What is the Fourth Dimension“ which was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Edwin Abbott, “Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions”, 1884 also was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Here I present: Ian Stewart, “In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations that Changed the World”, 2012 which was a textbook.
BELOW are the seventeen (17) equations; and, the author of each equation is listed. The seventeen (17) equations are in chronological order.
EXAMPLES.
#4. Year 1687 AD, “Law of Gravity”, I. Newton.
#13. Year 1905 AD, “Relativity”, A. Einstein.
Here I presented: Ian Stewart, “In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations that Changed the World”, 2012 which was a Mathematics textbook.
BELOW is a Timeline of SciFi novels (1605-2009).
SUMMARY.
The timelines of Science & SciFi novels contain words & phrases that changed culture is what Ian Stewart, “In Pursuit of the Unknown”, 2012 has stated. Science & SciFi was dependent upon the development of Mathematics.
EXAMPLE.
“Gravity “as defined by Isaac Newton (1687), and “Relativity” as defined by Albert Einstein (1905) are words of Science & SciFi today.
H. G. Wells, “The Time Machine”, 1895 was the topic of an earlier blog post.
Ian Stewart, “Flatterland”, 2001 which is worth reading Mathematical Fiction.
