	10. mars: Den hellige John Ogilvie (~1580-1615)
		Dette samt martyrenes vitnesbyrd ble avgjørende for unge John, og han bestemte seg for å slutte seg til martyrenes kirke.
		I Brno fikk John nyte godt av jesuittisk utdannelse innen klassiske og naturvitenskapelige fag i tillegg til rigorøs religiøs opplæring og åndelig dannelse.
		John Ogilvie arbeidet iherdig en tid og hans flokk økte til tross for den livsfaren katolikker svevde i, og han ble berømt for å insistere på større hengivenhet blant katolikkene.

	Lewis Carroll's Logic Game
		In the mid-nineteenth century, John Venn (1834-1923), a Fellow of Cambridge University, devised a scheme for visualizing logical relationships.
		Venn was a cleric in the Anglican Church, an authority on what was then called "moral science," and the compiler of a massive index of all Cambridge alumni.
		Venn's innovation took immeasurably less brainpower than, for instance, Archimedes' determination of spherical surface from Chapter S. The latter required extraordinary insight; the former might just as well have been discovered by a child with a crayon.

		John Venn (1834-1923) was a British mathematician and logician; he is best known today for the diagrams that bear his name.
		The dual graph of a topologically faithful 4-statement Venn diagram is the graph of edges of a 4-dimensional cube.
		If a perfect Venn diagram for 4 logical variables could be drawn in the plane, then the dual graph, the graph of edges of the 4-cube, could also be drawn in the plane, with no intersections of edges; just as happened with the 3-variable Venn diagram and the graph of edges of the 3-cube.

	IngentaConnect Causation, randomness, and pseudo-randomness in John Venn's logic... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In 1866, the young John Venn published The Logic of Chance, motivated largely by the desire to correct what he saw as deep fallacies in the reasoning of historical determinists such as Henry Buckle and in the optimistic heralding of a true social science by Adolphe Quetelet.
		Venn accepted the inevitable determinism implied by the physical sciences, but denied that the stable social statistics cited by Buckle and Quetelet implied a similar determinism in human actions.
		Venn maintained that probability statements were intelligible solely as projections of the ultimate frequency of an outcome in an unlimited series of trials and therefore led to no inferences about free will.

		John Newton (1725-1807), divine and friend of the poet Cowper, born in London, [England] 24 July 1725 (Old Style), was son of a commander in the merchant service engaged in the Mediterranean trade.
		Newton became his enthusiastic disciple, and gained the nickname of 'young Whitefield.'

	Venn Diagrams
		Venn diagrams were invented by a guy named John Venn (no kidding; that was really his name) as a way of picturing relationships between different groups of things.
		But we'll stick with the usual "Venn" terminology for the purposes of this lesson.) Since the mathematical term for "a group of things" is "a set", Venn diagrams can be used to illustrate both set relationships and logical relationships.
