‎First appearance of these pioneer-works on life contingencies and insurance mathematics, named by Gompertz himself as ""the science connected with Human Mortality"". He here described how he applied the method of fluxions (first paper) and the mathematical tables for life expectancy (second paper). His model is a refinement of a demographic model of Robert Malthus. It was used by insurance companies to calculate the cost of life insurance. The equation, known as a Gompertz curve, is now used in many areas to model a time series where growth is slowest at the start and end of a period. The model has been extended to the Gompertz-Makeham law of mortality.""In 1820, in a paper to the Royal Society (the first paper offered), he applied the method of fluxions to the investigation of various life contingencies. In 1824 he was appointed actuary and head clerk of the newly founded Alliance Assurance Company. A year later he published (the second paper offered) what is now called Gompertz’s law of mortality, which states "".... the average exhaustion of man’s power to avoid death to be such that at the end of equal infinitely small intervals of time he lost equal portions of his remaining power to oppose destruction which he had at the commencement of these intervals"". His rigid adherence to Newton’s fluxional notation prevented wide recognition of this accomplishment, but he must be rated as a pioneer in actuarial science and one of the great amateur scholars of his day. Augustus De Morgan called Gompertz ""the link between the old and new"" when he mourned ""the passing of the last of the learned Newtonians."" (DSB).‎

‎Dat kan mijn kleine zusje ook : Waarom moderne kunst kunst is‎

‎, Meulenhoff, Amsterdam, , 2012 Paperback, 464 pagina's, NL, 215 x 140 mm, in Nieuwstaat !, met illustraties in kleur en z/w. ISBN 9789029088138.‎


‎Waarom is moderne kunst wat het is, waarom wordt een onopgemaakt bed als kunst tentoongesteld? Waarom is een uitvergroot roze opblaasbaar varken zo verrekte veel geld waard? Elke museumbezoeker vraagt het zich wel eens af: is dit kunst? Is dit echt zo veel waard? In Dat kan mijn kleine zusje ook prikt de vermaarde Engelse kunstkenner Will Gompertz het pretentieuze kunstgebazel door en geeft hij op heldere en enthousiaste wijze antwoord op de belangrijkste vragen die elke kunstbeschouwer zich wel eens stelt. Een bezoek aan een museum of galerie zal na lezing van dit boek niet meer zo intimiderend zijn, maar wel veel interessanter. Gompertz maakt op overtuigende wijze de bizarre wereld van de moderne kunst voor iedereen begrijpelijk. Met grappige en interessante historische anekdotes laat hij zien hoe de kunst zich heeft ontwikkeld tot wat die nu is. Maar hij voert de lezer ook langs alle indrukwekkende en belangrijke gebeurtenissen uit de kunstgeschiedenis: we gaan koffiedrinken met de impressionisten en kopen met Marcel Duchamp in New York zijn kunstwerk dat veel stof deed opwaaien: de pisbak. Naast het inzichtelijk maken van de kunstgeschiedenis legt Gompertz ook uit wat de betekenis van de moderne kunst is voor de moderne wereld, onder andere aan de hand van Monty Python. Die televisieserie had nooit kunnen bestaan zonder de kunststroming Dada. ‎
