Museum of Hartlepool

Hartlepool

Hartlepool is a port town in County Durham, England. The town lies on the North Sea coast, 17 miles north of Middlesbrough and 20 miles south of Sunderland. The town is governed as part of the Borough of Hartlepool, a unitary authority which also administers outlying villages such as Seaton Carew, Greatham, Hart Village, Dalton Piercy and Elwick. Hartlepool was founded in the 7th century, around the monastery of Hartlepool Abbey. The village grew in the Middle Ages and its harbour served as the official port of the County Palatine of Durham. After a railway link from the north was established from the South Durham coal fields, an additional link from the south, in 1835, together with a new port, resulted in further expansion, with the new town of West Hartlepool. England's Industrialisation and the start of a shipbuilding industry in the later part of the 19th century caused Hartlepool to be a target for the Imperial German Navy at the beginning of the First World War. A bombardment of 1,150 shells on 16 December 1914 resulted in the death of 117 people. A severe decline in heavy industries and shipbuilding following the Second World War caused periods of high unemployment until the 1990s when major investment projects and the redevelopment of the docks area into a marina saw a rise in the town's prospects.

Stocking 11,000 volumes as of 1933, the Institute also housed a museum devoted to natural history, archaeology and local art. A building in the Venetian Gothic style, it served as the location of the Hastings 1895 chess tournament. 22 Masters were invited to the competition, one of which was William H. K. Pollock, representing Canada.During Lady Brassey's lifetime, Working men's clubs often met at the location.It is a Grade II listed building.

Isaac Newton Institute

Cambridge

Das Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge ist ein nationales britisches Forschungsinstitut für Mathematik und theoretische Physik. Es wurde 1992 gegründet und ist nach Isaac Newton benannt. Erster Direktor war der Mathematiker und Fields-Preisträger Michael Atiyah mit dem Physiker Peter Goddard als geschäftsführendem Direktor . Der Konzeption nach sollte es kein ständiges Forschungspersonal haben, sondern Workshops und Konferenzen zu jeweils wechselnden Schwerpunktthemen durchführen , die aber länger angelegt sein sollten als zum Beispiel die einwöchigen Oberwolfach-Konferenzen. Es wird getragen von der University of Cambridge, mit Beiträgen unter anderem vom EPSRC , dem Leverhulme Trust und der London Mathematical Society. Bei der Gründung spielten speziell das St John´s College, auf dessen Gelände sich das Institut befindet, und das Trinity College eine Rolle. 1993 stellte hier Andrew Wiles seinen Beweis der Fermatvermutung vor. 2002 eröffnete das Centre for Mathematical Sciences der Universität Cambridge in der Nachbarschaft des Instituts, in dem die mathematischen Institute der Universität gebündelt sind. Weitere Direktoren nach Atiyah waren Keith Moffatt , John Kingman und David Wallace . Ihnen steht das Programmkomitee des Instituts zur Seite. Die Adresse ist Clarkson Road 20, Cambridge.
