83. Famous Mathematicians Of Guildford Region - - Time - - Person or Topic - Ahmes, Ancient Egyptian Fractions Euclid, His Works and Influences http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/mathematicians.html

There are two famous mathematicians associated with Guildford, Lewis Carroll alias Charles Dodgson, who wrote Alice's adventures in Wonderland. He was a mathematician at Oxford and is commemorated in Guildford by His grave (in the graveyard on the Mount by the chapel) a statue of Alice and a rabbit disappearing down a hole on the riverside (River Wey) at Millmead in the centre of Guildford. Another metal statue of Alice going through the Looking Glass in the Castle grounds just behind Lewis Carroll's sisters' house (he bought it for his 3 sisters). The text of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass as WWW pages are worth looking at just for Tenniel's illustrations. Joel Birenbaum's page on Lewis Carroll is good too. Alan Turing (1912-1954) the founder of modern computing. He was brought up in Guildford and his biographer, Andrew Hodges in "Alan Turing: the Enigma" mentions that he used to walk around Guildford as a young lad discussing his ideas on computing with his mother. He lived at 22 Ennismore Avenue by Stoke Park in Guildford during his school days. There is a plaque on the house commemorating Turing's early life in Guildford.

BACK web hosting domain names email addresses ... related sites AL'S ALGEBRA The word "algebrista" appears in Cervantes' Don Quixote , where it is used for a bone-setter , that is, " a restorer". But, more likely, the label "algebra" derived from a book written by the great Islamic astronomer and mathematician, al-Khwarizmi (circa 750-850) a book entitled Al-jabr wa'l muqabulah (circa 830 A.D.). Although Greek mathematician, Diophantus (200?-284? A.D.) has been called "the Father of Algebra", the title should be given to al-Khwarizmi, bequeather of the tactics of algebra . Bequeather also of the term "algorithm", for a "sure-fire" problem-solver (This disparagement of pre-Renaissance Islamic mathematicians and scientists, unfortunately, is typical. We owe Islamics immense debts for preserving scholarship and research during "The Dark Ages" of Europe. In particular, Islamic scholars gave us the notion of arithmetizing motion leading to "The Industrial Revolution" whereas Plato's tradition declared "arithmetization of motion" impossible, thereby stifling Westerm development for 2000 years, EXTENDING SLAVERY! Also, much evidence exists that advances in algebra and number theory attributed to Renaissance European mathematicians were discovered earlier by Islamic mathematicians.)

88. Features_84_mezzetti roots of the EWM reside in discussions that took place among a small group of Europeanwomen during the 1986 International Congress of mathematicians at the http://www.ictp.trieste.it/~sci_info/News_from_ICTP/News_84/features_Mezzetti.ht

Last December, the ICTP hosted the 8th General Meeting of European Women in Mathematics. The gathering attracted more than 100 women from 30 different countries worldwide. Emilia Mezzetti, who served as the chief organizer, examines the plight of women within the profession today. Women Mathematicians Count on Brighter Future F eminine mathematics? The term sounds preposterous. As every school child knows two plus two is four. From the simplest calculations to the most complex equations, the unbending rules of mathematics conform to laws of nature that reach well beyond differences in gender. Gender nonetheless has played an important role in mathematics when it comes to some critical factorsmost notably, hiring and promotions. And that's why women have begun to join together in organizations like European Women in Mathematics (EWM). Their goal is to recalibrate the profession's disturbing demographics so that university mathematics departments become as gender-free as the research findings of their faculty members. These numbers may surprise you. In Denmark, just 2 percent of all mathematicians teaching in universities are women; in Germany, it's 3 percent; in the United Kingdom, 7 percent. Among Mediterranean countries, the situation is better but by no means satisfactory. In Greece, nearly a quarter of all math professors are women; in Italy, it's 35 percent. Across Europe, when it comes to math professors, only Portugal has a 50-50 gender split. And this dismal picture becomes even worse when calculating the number of women serving as department heads or deans.

Industrial Mathematics on a European Scale - ECMI click here. The European Community appreciates the exchange of skills and knowledge within ECMI and has strongly supported ECMI through its COMETT, ERASMUS, LEONARDO, SOCRATES, TMR, and HCM programmes. The major objectives of ECMI are the following: To promote the use of mathematical models in industry: Engineers, applied scientists and mathematicians working in industry can greatly benefit from close collaboration with university applied mathematicians with relevant skills and knowledge. On the other hand, working on real-world research projects is a fascinating way of leaving the ivory tower. To educate Industrial Mathematicians to meet the growing demand for such experts: Within European industry, there is a shortage of industrial mathematicians who are familiar with the latest mathematical ideas and techniques. ECMI teaching centers are providing short courses for this need, in addition to running a joint two-year educational programme on Mathematics for Industry. To operate on a European scale: Special mathematical knowledge and skills are spread all over Europe. Therefore, exchange programmes are necessary in training, research and industrial collaboration.
