Newton s formulation is not the only way in which classical equations of motion can be formulated. Lagrange (Joseph Louis Lagrange, France, 1736-1813), Hamilton (William Rowan Hamilton, Ireland, 1805-1865), and others developed different means, and it is the formulation of Hamilton that has proven the most useful framework for developing the mechanics of quantum systems. It is important to realize that Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics offer equivalent descriptions of classical systems. 

In England, the Magna Carta provided a standard of measurement for the sale of ale and wine. In 1643, the English Parliament proposed the first tax on distilled spirits. In the American colonies, William Kieft, Director General of New Nethedand, imposed the first liquor tax of two guilders on each half vat of beer in 1640. Alexander Hamilton initiated an excise tax on domestic spirits in 1791. The tax was resented and ultimately repealed in 1800 by Thomas Jefferson. Except during the War of 1812, domestic spirits remained untaxed until 1862. At that time, a tax of 0.02/L was implemented, which has been increased periodically. In January 1991, the Pederal Excise Tax on distilled spirits was raised to 3.56 per titer or 13.50 per proof gallon. In addition, many states have substantially increased the state excise taxes on distilled spirits.

William Fraser was born in Hamilton. He studied at the other of the two local universities, Strathclyde, where he obtained a first class B.Sc. honors degree in 1986 and Ph.D. in 1989 under the direction of Professor Colin J. Suckling and Professor Hamish C. S. Wood. He was awarded a Royal Society European Exchange Postdoctoral Fellowship and worked in the laboratories of Professor Albert Eschenmoser at the ETH, Zurich. In 1991, he took up his present position as lecturer in medicinal chemistry at Aston University, Birmingham. His scientific interests include nucleoside and nucleic acid chemistry, solid-supported, synthesis, and study of base-modified antigene oligonucleotides targeted to DNA.

Quaternions are an extension of the complex plane and were discovered in 1843 by William Hamilton while attempting to define 3-D multiplications. Hamilton was a brilliant Irish mathematician whose genius for languages was evident at an early age. He could read at three—by four he had started on Greek, Latin, and Hebrew—and by ten had become familiar with Sanskrit. By age seventeen, his mathematical prowess became evident.
