Abstract

Further to a recent paper about the work of George Sinclair (c. 1630–1696), new biographical information has come to light. Following one year of study at St Andrews, Sinclair obtained a Master of Arts degree at Edinburgh University in 1649. Later, after his enforced resignation as a Regent at Glasgow University in 1666, he taught mathematics at Edinburgh University, without swearing the prescribed oath of allegiance. This employment terminated in 1674 with the appointment of James Gregory to Edinburgh's first established chair of mathematics. The interest of Robert Hooke in Sinclair's hydrostatical work is also noted.

乔治·辛克莱（约1630–1696）的流体静力学著作：附录

在最近一篇关于乔治·辛克莱(George Sinclair，约1630-1696年)工作的论文之后，新的传记信息已经曝光。在圣安德鲁斯大学学习一年后，辛克莱于1649年在爱丁堡大学获得文学硕士学位。后来，在1666年被迫辞去格拉斯哥大学摄政王的职务后，他在爱丁堡大学教授数学，没有按照规定宣誓效忠。1674年，詹姆斯·格里高利被任命为爱丁堡第一任数学教授，这一职位终止了。罗伯特·胡克对辛克莱流体静力学工作的兴趣也被注意到。
