约翰·考奇·亚当斯：数学天文学家，乔治·加布里埃尔·斯托克斯的大学朋友，女性天文学的推动者
John Couch Adams: mathematical astronomer, college friend of George Gabriel Stokes and promotor of women in astronomy
摘要：
约翰·考奇·亚当斯预测了海王星在天空中的位置，计算了由于地球引力而引起的月球平均运动的预期变化，并确定了困扰天文学家近千年的狮子座流星雨的起源和轨道。亚当斯的成就可以与他的好朋友乔治·斯托克斯相比。他们不仅出生在同一年，而且都是高级牧马人，获得了史密斯奖和科普利奖章，在彭布罗克学院生活，思考和研究，并共同欣赏牛顿。另一方面，亚当斯对海王星位置的预测对它在柏林的发现没有任何影响。他的月球理论没有对月球的运动提供物理解释。狮子座流星雨的起源在他之前已经有人解释过了。亚当斯拒绝了爵士头衔和皇家天文学家的任命。他不愿意和缓慢的出版，但喜欢得出的价值观的martinums到263位小数。数学和计算，他如此出色的标志之一的高点天体力学，但很少教现在的本科课程。亚当斯和斯托克斯之间的差异和相似之处不能更引人注目。这卷证明了斯托克斯的科学工作的持久遗产。那么亚当斯的遗产是什么呢？在这篇文章中，我将概述亚当斯的一生、斯托克斯和亚当斯的生活最受感动的例子、他的科学成就和通常被忽视的遗产：女性高等教育和对女天文学家的支持。
英文摘要：
John Couch Adams predicted the location of Neptune in the sky, calculated the expectation of the change in the mean motion of the Moon due to the Earth's pull, and determined the origin and the orbit of the Leonids meteor shower which had puzzled astronomers for almost a thousand years. With his achievements Adams can be compared with his good friend George Stokes. Not only were they born in the same year, but were also both senior wranglers, received the Smith's Prizes and Copley medals, lived, thought and researched at Pembroke College, and shared an appreciation of Newton. On the other hand, Adams' prediction of Neptune's location had absolutely no influence on its discovery in Berlin. His lunar theory did not offer a physical explanation for the Moon's motion. The origin of the Leonids was explained by others before him. Adams refused a knighthood and an appointment as Astronomer Royal. He was reluctant and slow to publish, but loved to derive the values of logarithms to 263 decimal places. The maths and calculations at which he so excelled mark one of the high points of celestial mechanics, but are rarely taught nowadays in undergraduate courses. The differences and similarities between Adams and Stokes could not be more striking. This volume attests to the lasting legacy of Stokes' scientific work. What is then Adams' legacy? In this contribution I will outline Adams' life, instances when Stokes' and Adams' lives touched the most, his scientific achievements and a usually overlooked legacy: female higher education and support of a woman astronomer.
