This article aims to be a self-contained account of the history of the B B Newman Spelling Theorem, including the historical context in which it arose. First, an account of B B Newman and how he came to prove his Spelling Theorem is given, together with a description of the author's efforts to track this information down. Following this, a high-level description of combinatorial group theory is given. This is then tied in with a description of the history of the word problem, a fundamental problem in the area. After a description of some of the theory of one-relator groups, an important part of combinatorial group theory, the natural division line into the torsion and torsion-free case for such groups is described. This culminates in a statement of and general discussion about the B B Newman Spelling Theorem and its importance.
本文旨在对B-B-纽曼拼写定理的历史，包括它产生的历史背景进行一个自成一体的描述。首先，介绍了B·B·纽曼，以及他是如何证明拼写定理的，并描述了作者追踪这些信息的努力。在此基础上，给出了组合群论的高级描述。然后将其与单词问题的历史描述联系起来，单词问题是该领域的一个基本问题。在描述了组合群论的重要组成部分一个相关群的一些理论之后，描述了这类群在无扭和无扭情况下的自然分界线。这在对B B Newman拼写定理及其重要性的陈述和一般性讨论中达到了高潮。

This is the first volume of two arising from the long-running Open University course Topics in the History of Mathematics. It brings together in updated form the teaching materials, activities and primary sources around which that course revolved, and ranges from ancient mathematics to the early seventeenth century. In updating, the authors have had to make many choices. They have done their best to cater for omissions with footnotes and ‘Further Reading’, and with ‘boxes’ summarizing information on particular topics. However, it may be useful to have a copy of the original Reader, edited by Fauvel and Gray, to hand, because many notes refer to passages found there. The first two chapters cover early mathematics. At the outset, the reader is invited to consider questions such as: what is mathematics andwhere and how do we recognize it happening? Much of the mathematics we learned in school seemed to appear in a vacuum, so we ask: what is the problem about, who is solving problems or communicating the results, and who are they talking to and why? Ever present are questions of historiography; how has history been communicated? Can we identify different theories about the past that colour our views? We are warned to be careful about the terms ‘history’ and ‘mathematics’:

Scots-born Henry Parr Hamilton played a significant role in the revival of mathematical teaching in Cambridge. Following the promotion of the differential calculus by Herschel, Babbage and Peacock, he wrote influential texts on analytical geometry and on conic sections. This work is examined, and his biography is outlined. Later, he abandoned mathematics for religious affairs in the Church of England, becoming dean of Salisbury Cathedral.
