The statistician in the library: Stephen Stigler's four decades crossing disciplinary lines


Pioneering scholar talks Stigler’s Law, French lotteries and statistical history
At any given university, statisticians aren’t usually at the top of the list of library visitors. But when Prof. Emeritus Stephen Stigler was a visiting associate professor of statistics at the University of Chicago in the early 1970s, he found himself drawn to the libraries and their archives of math publications.
He was surprised to find, in an issue of the
American Journal of Mathematics from the 1920s, some principles related to his doctoral thesis that had been stated four decades before but apparently lost in the literature. Then he found another example an article written in 1816-1818 by French mathematician Pierre-Simon Laplace that included a mathematical result that was unknown at the time of Stigler s reading. ....

Isaac Newton Latest Historical Figure Swept Up in 'Decolonisation' Drive


Ewan Somerville, Telegraph, April 24, 2021
Sir Isaac Newton has been labelled as a potential beneficiary of “colonial-era activity” in draft plans to “decolonise” the engineering curriculum at Sheffield University.
Students learning about the mathematician and scientist’s three laws of motion, the core of modern physics, could see changes in their teaching to explain the “global origins and historical context” of his theories, documents suggest.
The plans form part of the engineering faculty’s efforts to “challenge long-standing conscious and unconscious biases” among students to tackle “Eurocentric” and “white saviour” approaches to science and maths, and promote “inclusive design”.
A leaked copy of the “draft inclusive curriculum development” plan at the Russell Group institution says that “much important engineering content and curriculum resources is based on maths developed in the 18/19th century.” ....
