- catalog description "John Farrar (1779-1853), mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, served as Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at Harvard from 1807 to 1836. At the time of Farrar's appointment, the instruction of mathematics and physics at Harvard College had declined; the school had failed to keep up with the progress made in mathematical studies in Europe. Farrar reformed mathematical studies at Harvard by translating and adapting the leading French textbooks in elementary geometry, elementary algebra, mathematical astronomy, and descriptive geometry.".
