	Simson biography
		Simson also set himself the task of preparing an edition of Euclid's Elements in as perfect a form as possible, and his edition of Euclid's books 1-6, 11 and 12 was for many years the standard text and formed the basis of textbooks on geometry written by other authors.
		Robert Simson was the first person to be appointed to the office of Clerk (later known as Clerk of Senate), which he took up in 1728 and only demitted when he retired in 1761.
		Robert Simson died in his eight-first year and was buried in the neighbouring Blackfriars burial ground, where a marble tombstone, bearing a long laudatory Latin inscription, was raised in his memory.

	Robert Simson
		SIMSON, (DR) ROBERT, a mathematician, was the eldest son of Mr John Simson of Kirton-hall, in Ayrshire, and was born on the 14th October, 1687.
		The first occupation of Mr Simson, was to arrange a proper course of instruction for the students who attended his lectures, in two distinct classes; accordingly, he prepared elementary sketches of some branches, on which there were not suitable treatises in general use.
		In 1758, Dr Simson having arrived at the advanced age of seventy-one years, found it expedient to employ an assistant in teaching; and in 1761, on his recommendation, the reverend Dr Williamson was made his assistant and successor.

		This definition is somewhat strange, for nowhere in the works of Robert Simson (1687-1768) any reference was found to the line that bears his name.

		As an example, consider the Simson line of a point P and the diametrically opposite to P point Q. The Simson lines of P and Q are orthogonal.

		In medicine, a succession of Scottish physicians from Archibald Pitcairne through to Robert Whytt, John Gregory, and William Cullen established themselves as theorists of the first rank in Europe, while the Edinburgh medical school founded in the 1720s gradually displaced Leyden as the centre of medical education in the Atlantic world.
		In the physical sciences, Scottish professors were among the first to introduce Newtonian science into their teaching, and Sir Isaac Newton counted amongst his earliest disciples a number of Scots, including Pitcairne, and David Gregory, who left Edinburgh to become the Savillian Professor of Astronomy at Oxford in 1691.
		With the assistance of the typefounder Alexander Wilson, Robert and Andrew Foulis became famous primarily for their editions of the classics, which were renowned for both their physical beauty and their scholarly excellence.
