	A Brief History of The Lucasian Professorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Lucasian Professorship of Mathematics is probably the most famous academic chair in the world.[Lucasian Chair 1932] The current holder, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, is as well known as any living scientist.
		The Lucasian Chair is one of mathematics, the foundation of science and engineering, and therefore the chair has been a focus of many fields.

		as Lucasian Professor, he was fully seized both of the laws of mechanics and of his duty to society not to waste energy, the latter compelling him to desist from applying the brake on any downhill section of road.
		In 1849 Stokes was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.
		He was appointed Lucasian professor of mathematics in 1820 but this chair provided such a small income that he was happy to resign in 1822 so that he might accept the better paid position as Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy.

		The history of the seventeen Lucasian professors at Cambridge isn't one story either, and the reader who takes the title's two endpoints-Newton and Hawking-as revealing what the Lucasian professorship is all about will be wide of the mark.
		The editors claim they really are telling one story: "Though monarchs and Lucasian professors alike command great respect in the secular world, their temporal incumbency can seem relatively inconsequential compared to the everlasting corporate body they represent" (p.
		And Barrow's motive in his famous resignation in favor of Newton, according to Feingold, was to institutionalize the professorship by awarding it to a man of "impeccable credentials." Although I would have liked to see more about Barrow's mathematics, I find the historical picture Feingold paints, based on unpublished as well as published sources, fascinating.

	George Stokes
		He also used his work on the motion of pendulums in fluids to consider the variation of gravity at different points on the earth, publishing a work on geodesy of major importance On the variation of gravity at the surface of the earth in 1849.
		In 1851 Stokes was elected to the Royal Society, awarded the Rumford medal of that Society in 1852, and he was appointed secretary of the Society in 1854.
		Stokes's work on the motion of pendulums in fluids led to a fundamental paper on hydrodynamics in 1851 when he published his law of viscosity, describing the velocity of a small sphere through a viscous fluid.

		In 1663, Henry Lucas, the long-time secretary to the Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, made a bequest, subsequently granted by Charles II, to endow a chair in mathematics.
		Among the more prominent Lucasian professors were Newton, Babbage, Stokes, Dirac, and Hawking.
		Many of whom were very diligent in carrying out their Lucasian responsibilities but as history has shown such was not always the case.

	The right strophoid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The strophoid first appears in work by Isaac Barrow (1630-1677) in 1670, who was the first Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.
		However Torricelli describes the curve in his letters around 1645 and Roberval found it as the locus of the focus of the conic obtained when the plane cutting the cone rotates about the tangent at its vertex.
		Then the strophoid is invariant under inversion in the circle C. Hence the strophoid is an anallagmatic curve.

	Stephen Hawking's prediction for the Theory of Everything (TOE)
		The occasion was the inaugural lecture of a new Lucasian Professor of Mathematics, the thirty-eight-year-old mathematician and physicist Stephen William Hawking.
		The title of the lecture was a question: “Is the End in Sight for Theoretical Physics?” and Hawking startled his listeners by announcing that he thought it was.
		It appears that he wouldn't have done it without motivation, because even 18 years later Hawking seemed to be still expecting his prediction to materialize just as he had predicted.
