چکیده
Born in Edinburgh on the 1st February 1821, he was educated at the High School of that city. It was at the University of Edinburgh that he received his medical education. His early youth gave promise of his future ; for his assiduity, his love of work, during this period of his life, were such as to augur well for that future. He graduated in 1841 with first-class honours; his Thesis on " The Pathology of Dropsy" being the third in order of merit.

متن کاملDickson Polynomials that are Involutions
Dickson polynomials which are permutations are interesting combinatorial objects and well studied. In this paper, we describe Dickson polynomials of the first kind in F2[x] that are involutions over finite fields of characteristic 2. Such description is obtained using modular arithmetic’s tools. We give results related to the cardinality and the number of fixed points (in the context of cryptog...
متن کاملAmbiguity and deficiency of reversed Dickson permutations
We give the ambiguity and deficiency of two classes of binary reversed Dickson polynomials. The determination of their ambiguity and deficiency depends on new results on the 2-divisibility of binomial coefficients. We also give some conjectures regarding the ambiguity and deficiency for the other two classes of binary reversed Dickson polynomials.
