Dijkstra's library
Dijkstra's home in Nuenen — anno January 2011 — contained a large collection of scientific books, booklets, papers, manuscripts, etc. A large part of that collection is now archived by me in Leuven and will be discussed on this page. For the complete inventory, see below.
College books, early 1950s.
Starting with Dijkstra's years as a student in physics at the university of Leiden, most (if not all) of his notebooks from university are preserved.
Here are some of the Dutch courses Dijkstra followed in Leiden, translated into English:
- Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry
- Calculus I and II
- Physics I and II
- Function theory I
- Mathematical theory of Relativity
- Analytical Geometry I, II, III
- Thermodynamics
- Logic
- Measure and integration theory
- Relativity theory
- Descriptive Geometry
- Electrodynamics
- Newtonian Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics
Of particular interest is Dijkstra's notes on "Logic". What did he learn as a student in Leiden about logic? A quick glance through his notes reveals that the course was about Socrates, Plato, Aristoteles --- that is, no modern logic seems to have been covered in that course.
Books by E.T. Bell
Dijkstra was inspired by Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960). The following books of him are part of my collection:
- E.T. Bell, Men of Mathematics: Volume I, First published in 1937. Published in Penguin Books, 1953.
- E.T. Bell, Men of Mathematics: Volume II, First published in 1937. Published in Penguin Books, 1953.
- E.T. Bell, Mathematics: Queen and Servant of Science, British edition 1952, reprinted 1954, 1958, 1961, 1966. G. Bell & Sons, Ltd: London.
- E.T. Bell, The Magic of Numbers, copyright 1946, renewed in 1974. Dover Publications, Inc., New York, 1991.
Dijkstra started citing Bell frequently during the mid-1970s, for example in EWD512 and EWD682. In that latter EWD, Dijkstra explicitly referred to:
- E.T. Bell, The Development of Mathematics, McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York-London, 1945.
How did Bell's work influence Dijkstra's thinking?
When visiting Dijkstra's home in Nuenen in January 2011, the shelves in Dijkstra's office were still packed with books. Stacked against the walls were several boxes which Dijkstra had sent to his home in Nuenen from Texas (in 1999/2000). Even very personal information, such as his medical dossier, was still in his office.
With the permission from Edsger W. Dijkstra's family, I was allowed to empty a large part of his office. In total, I took with me 16 boxes of Edsger W. Dijkstra's original possessions. The contents of those boxes are listed on this page.
