Hamilton 哈密尔顿
His career included the study of geometrical optics, Fourier analysis, and quaternions, the last of which made him one of the founders of modern linear algebra. He made major contributions in optics, classical mechanics, and abstract algebra. His work was fundamental to modern theoretical physics, particularly his reformulation of Newtonian mechanics. Hamiltonian mechanics including its Hamilitonian function are now central both to electromagnetism and quantum mechanics.
他的职业生涯包括研究几何光学、傅里叶分析和四元数，其中最后一项研究使他成为现代线性代数的创始人之一。他在光学、经典力学和抽象代数方面做出了重大贡献。他的工作是现代理论物理学的基础，特别是他对牛顿力学的重新表述。哈密顿力学（包括其哈密顿函数）现在是电磁学和量子力学的核心。
Hamilton is said to have shown talent at an early age. His uncle observed that Hamilton, from a young age, had displayed an uncanny ability to acquire languages . At the age of seven, he had already made progress in Hebrew, and before he was 13, he had acquired, under the care of his uncle, a dozen languages: classical and modern European languages, Persian, Arabic, Hindustani, Sanskrit, Marathiand Malay.
据说汉密尔顿从小就显示出了天赋。据他的叔叔观察，汉密尔顿从小就表现出了超乎寻常的语言学习能力。7 岁时，他在希伯来语方面就取得了进步，13 岁之前，他就在叔叔的照料下掌握了十几种语言：古典和现代欧洲语言、波斯语、阿拉伯语、印度斯坦语、梵语、马拉地语和马来语。
The emphasis of Hamilton's early education on languages is attributed to the wish of his father to see him employed by the British East India Company.
汉密尔顿的早期教育侧重于语言，这是因为他的父亲希望他能受雇于英国东印度公司。
