What do Boer algebra, Mount Everest, bullfly, Wilde, interstellar, deep learning, Yang Zhenning, Deng Jiaxian, what do these words have in common? They are all related to the same family. Recently, I saw an article by the "Pulin Little Tigers" ("Yang Zhenning has been thinking about his sister for more than seventy years, and the Xueba family that has stood behind her for three centuries"), written by Teacher Ni Yi, who tells the magical story of this family. Below, I will combine some of the other articles I have read to introduce you to this family.
The first was the inventor of Boer algebra (George Boole, 1815 - 1864), an English mathematician and logician. Boolean algebra is the foundation of electrical engineering and computer science. The most amazing thing about Mr. Bull is that he only received a primary school education and was almost entirely self-taught. In fact, he did not have time to become an old man, because he died at the age of 49.
Boole's wife, Mary Everest Boole, was at the other extreme, born and died 1832-1916 at the age of 84. She was 17 years younger than Bull and lived 52 years after Bull's death! Mary was very interested in mathematics from an early age, but could not receive a higher mathematics education in that era. Mary's uncle was Bull's colleague at university, so Mary became acquainted with Bull, studied mathematics with him, and fell in love with him ever since. After marriage, Mary often attended Boole's lectures at university and helped her husband edit and publish two scholarly books. After Boole's death, she published at least six books on children's education, mathematics education, and the popularization of Boolean's scientific work.
She invented the "curve stitching method," which can use straight line segments to generate curves of various shapes. This method can be implemented by simple tools, suitable for children to explore on their own, and is still widely used today.
Mary's uncle Sir George Everest (1790 – 1866) was a geographer and a model of self-taught. He was director of the Indian Bureau of Geodesy from 1830 to 1843, and Mount Everest's English name mount everest commemorates him.
The Booleans had five children, all of whom were daughters, and it can be calculated that this probability is 1 in 32. When Burle died of pneumonia, the eldest daughter was 8 years old, the youngest was only six months old, and the widow Mary was only 32 years old. Mary raised these five daughters with painstaking efforts, and even had to sell the royal medals that Bull had won, eventually raising them all into talents.
Burl and Mary's eldest daughter, Mary Ellen Hinton (1856-1908), wrote a book on poetry. She has two grandchildren, William Howard Hinton (1919-2004) and Joan Chase Hinton (1921-2010), who have worked in China all their lives and will talk about their deeds later.
Boole and Mary's second daughter, Margaret Taylor (1858-1935), studied painting.
She had two sons. The eldest son, Sir Geoffrey Ingram Taylor (1886 – 1975), was a physicist and mathematician who proved that double-slit interference was a quantum phenomenon that represented Britain in the Manhattan Project. His family was most pleased that he received the Royal Medal in 1933, the royal medal that his grandfather Boole had received and was later sold by his grandmother Mary. Margaret's second son, Julian Taylor (1889-1961), was a neurosurgeon who served as Vice-President of the Royal Society of Surgeons.
Boer and Mary's third daughter, Alicia Boole Stott (1860-1940), was an amateur mathematician. She discovered all six regular polyhedra in four-dimensional space.
Alicia's son Leonard Boole Stott (1892 -1963) was a physician and inventor. He was a pioneer in the treatment of tuberculosis and invented many machines such as portable X-ray machines. Alicia's daughter Mary Boole Stott (1893-1962) was a psychologist who worked for many years in the British government sector.
Boole and Mary's fourth daughter, Lucy Everest Boole (1862 -1904), was Britain's first female pharmacologist and the first fric of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Burl and Mary's youngest daughter, ethel lilian voynich (1864-1960), wrote a novel, The Oxfly. Was it a surprise to hear the name? Have you long heard that the author of "The Bullfly" is Voynich? Yes, Voynich was the surname of Eger's husband, a Polish revolutionary. Eiger Lillian Voynich was born and died in 1864-1960 at the age of 96, almost twice as much as her father!
Let's focus on the family of Handing and Han Chun, that is, the family of Mary Allen, the eldest daughter of Burl and Mary. The family named Hinton, Mary Allen's father-in-law James Hinton (1822 - 1875), was the best entolaryngology surgeon of his time. His son, Mary Allen's husband, Charles Howard Hinton (1853-1907), was a mathematician and science fiction writer. Alicia, who studied four-dimensional polyhedra mentioned earlier, is the four-dimensional geometry she learned from her brother-in-law.
Charles Hinton had a sister, Adaline Cort Nettleship (1856-1932), who was a famous costume designer. Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) was a bridal dress designed by Ada when she married. Ada's grandson, Sir Caspar John (1903–1984), was a British Admiral who served as First Sea Secretary.
Charles Hinton coined the term "four-dimensional hypercube" (tesseract), a word that appears frequently in science fiction works. For example, the Space Infinity Gem in the Marvel movie is installed in the tesseract, and the male protagonist in "Interstellar" enters the black hole and arrives at a tesseract.
Charles Hinton and Mary Allen had four children, all sons — a 1 in 16 probability. The eldest son, George Boole hinton (1882-1943), was a metallurgist and plant collector. George's eldest son, Howard Everest Hinton (1912-1977), was an entomologist who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1961. Howard's son Geoffrey Everest Hinton (1947-) was even more famous. Anyone who knows anything about AI knows that the core technology of this round of AI explosion is deep learning, and the proponents of deep learning are Jeffrey Hinton, Yann le Cun and Yoshua Bengio, who won the Turing Award in 2018.
Charles Hinton's youngest son, Sebastian Hinton (1887-1923), invented a three-dimensional square iron gym for children to climb, which can be seen in many children's activity venues. Sebastian is the father of Handin and Hanchun.
The brothers and sisters, Han Ding and Han Chun, are famous internationalist fighters. Han Chun first studied nuclear physics and participated in the Manhattan Project. In 1946, she followed Fermi to the University of Chicago, which means that he was the sister of Yang Zhenning and Lee Zhengdao. Han Chun asked Yang Zhenning to teach him Chinese, and the person who drove her to the train station in 1948 was Yang Zhenning.
In 1971, when Yang Zhenning returned to China to visit, he met Han Chun in Dazhai ("Yang Zhenning on Fermi: He Is Always Down-to-Earth| Back to Simplicity"). The two were surprised and delighted, and reminisced about their days in Chicago together.
At that time, American newspapers said that China's atomic bomb was built with Hanchun's help, and Yang Zhenning wanted to know whether this statement was correct or not, and whether China's atomic bomb was Chinese built by himself. During his 4-week visit, he always wanted to ask his good friend Deng Jiaxian this question, but he did not dare to ask. When he finally got on a plane in Beijing to go to Shanghai, he finally couldn't help but ask Deng Jiaxian. Deng Jiaxian said that there should be none, but it should be certified with the organization. Then, while eating in Shanghai, Yang Zhenning received a letter from Deng Jiaxian confirming that China had built the atomic bomb himself. Yang Zhenning burst into tears after seeing the letter ("Yang Zhenning: May people be long, a thousand miles a common path").
So what is Hanchun actually doing in China? It's raising cows. She and her husband Yang have long been engaged in dairy farming and improvement in China. Thousands of Chinese children can drink milk without their contribution.
Mr. Yang was also an internationalist fighter from the United States, formerly known as Erwin Engst (1919-2003), who studied animal husbandry at Cornell University and was a classmate of Hinton. When Yang Zhenning sent Hanchun to China, she knew that she was going to marry her boyfriend Yang Early.
Han Ding was the revolutionary guide of HanChun and Yang Early. He came to China to work in 1945 and based on his experience in Zhangzhuang, Lucheng County, Shanxi Province, he wrote a documentary work called "Turning Over: A Revolutionary Documentary of a Village in China". Han Chun came to China in 1948, initially to Shanghai, working next to Soong Ching-ling. In 1949, Han Chun went to Yan'an and married Yang Early in a cave.
After Yang's death in 2003, Han Chun insisted on adding a sentence to the Xinhua News Agency's obituary: "Strive for the cause of the liberation of all mankind." "We have been in China all our lives, not to raise cattle, but for faith," she said. In 2004, Hanchun obtained the first "Permanent Residence Permit for Foreigners" issued by the Chinese government. After their deaths in the spring of 2010, the couple's ashes were scattered on the trilateral pastures they had struggled for.
Han Chun and Yang had three children, of whom the eldest son, Fred Engst (1952-), still resided in China and taught at the University of International Business and Economics.
After returning to the United States from China in 1953, Hending was persecuted by the U.S. government, making it difficult to publish his books, unable to find a job, and working as a farmer for a long time. In 1971, he visited China at the invitation of Premier Zhou, and later visited China several times, and was hired as an expert on the FAO China project and a senior consultant to the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, writing many books reflecting modern China. His daughter, Carma Hinton (1949-), was born in Beijing, where she grew up to the age of 21 and Chinese known as Han Liang. Karma received her Ph.D. in Art History from Harvard University and is a renowned documentary filmmaker and currently a professor at George Mason University.
Finally, let's sum it up. Counting from George Everace, George Bull and James Hinton, the Boole-Everlus-Hinton family has been active for two hundred years, spanning three centuries, covering europe, America and Asia, and has made extraordinary achievements in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, geography, computers, literature, art, education, military and many other fields, many of whom are self-taught. The spirit of diligence and idealism will always shine brightly.
