This is the third chapter of the first section. It is a compendium of all the concepts and theorems of probability theory that are found in the problems of Bayesian estimation of a robot location and the map of its environment. It presents uncertainty as an intrinsic feature of any mobile robot that develops in a real environment. It is then discussed how uncertainty has been treated along the history of science and how probabilistic approaches have represented such a huge success in many engineering fields, including robotics. The fundamental concepts of probability theory are discussed along with some advanced topics needed in further chapters, following a learning curve as smooth and comprehensive as possible.

This article discusses the conception of science and its significance for the reconstruction of Islamic educat-ion, by analyzing and contextualizing the thoughts of Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Nasr is considered a figure who has compe-tence in history of science and philosophy with special emphasis on Islamic science and philosophy. In the earlier phase of his life, he acquainted himself with the thoughts of prominent thinkers both from East and West, and with the very issue of the encounter between East and West. This position makes the thoughts of Nasr on science having their distinctive character. The first part of this paper investigates the construct and characteristics of Islamic science as well as the hierarchy and the idea of unity in Islamic science. The second part of this paper is dealing with the reformulation of philosophical basis of Islamic education, most specifically in the domain of ontology, epistemology and axiology. The third is dealing with the attempts of reconstructing the system of Islamic education, most notably pertaining to the aim of education, educator, student, means of education, and milieu of education.

Abstract This paper addresses three aspects of Majid Daneshgar’s monograph Studying the Qurʾan in the Muslim Academy. The first part looks at the complexities around the lack of coherence between the Muslim Academy and so-called “Western” Institutions. Drawing on some examples from my own life, I will address the hesitance to embrace sources from the West as highlighted by Daneshgar. Then, I will present an example from the “Western Academy” that speaks to a broader audience across this divide. The second part of this paper will address the phenomenon of trying to find scientific proofs in the Qur‘an and the issues around those attempts in the field of the history of science and religion. Drawing on my own research, the third part of this reflection will draw on the example of Islam in India to show the complex nature of the so-called Muslim Academy and its ties to colonial encounters.

The three translations of Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation invested the text with new meaning. None of the translations endorsed the book for the author's advocacy of species transformation. The first translation, into German (1846), put forward the text as evincing divine design in nature. The second, into Dutch (1849), also presented Vestiges as proof of divine order in nature and, more specifically, as aiding the stabilization of society under God and king in a process of recovery from the 1848 Revolution. By contrast, the third translation, into German (1851), interpreted the book as furthering the very revolutionary, anti-ecclesiastical and anti- monarchist ideals that the Dutch edition sought to counter.

The full publication of 4Q208 and 4Q209 in 2000 has enabled a renaissance of research on the Enochic Astronomical Book, illumining its deep connections with Babylonian scholasticism and spurring debate about the precise channels by which such “scientific” knowledge came to reach Jewish scribes. This article asks whether attention to Aramaic manuscripts related to the Astronomical Book might also reveal something about Jewish scribal pedagogy and literary production in the early Hellenistic age, particularly prior to the Maccabean Revolt. Engaging recent studies from Classics and the History of Science concerning astronomy, pedagogy, and the place of scribes and books in the cultural politics of the third century bce, it uses the test-case of the Astronomical Book to explore the potential significance of Aramaic sources for charting changes within Jewish literary cultures at the advent of Macedonian rule in the Near East.

This is the first chapter of the third section. It describes the kinds of mathematical models usable by a mobile robot to represent its spatial reality, and the reasons by which some of them are more useful than others, depending on the task to be carried out. The most common metric, topological, and hybrid map representations are described from an introductory viewpoint, emphasizing their limitations and advantages for the localization and mapping problems. It then addresses the problem of how to update or build a map from the robot raw sensory data, assuming known robot positions, a situation that becomes an intrinsic feature of some SLAM filters. Since the process greatly depends on the kind of map and sensors, the most common combinations of both are shown.

Abstract<title> SUMMARY </title>In September 1841, the Congress of the «Cultori delle scienze naturali» took place in Florence. It was the third, after Pisa in 1839 and Turin in 1840. These conferences were promoted by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, prince of Musignano. The documents of the Congress were stored in the archives of the Institute and Museum of the History of Science. This article provides an analytical inventory of this important source for the study of italian science of the nineteenth century.
