... Math Department Home Page Michael Golomb (born 1909) was a student of Adolf Hammerstein and received his doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1933. The picture for this article was taken in 1938 in Zagreb (Yugoslavia), his first place of refuge. In 1939 he emigrated to the United States and turned to applied mathematics. He was one of the first to apply normed spaces in numerical analysis. Exhibition Announcement* Terror and Exile: Berlin mathematicians under the Nazi regime 1933-1945 In 1998 the ICM returns to Germany after an intermission of 94 years. This long interval covers the darkest period in German history. Therefore the German Mathematical Society (DMV) wants to honor the memory of all those who suffered under the Nazi terror. The DMV does this in the form of an exhibition presenting the biographies of 53 mathematicians from Berlin who were victims of the Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945. The fate of this small group illustrates painfully well the personal sufferings and the destruction of scientific and cultural life; it also sheds light on the instruments of suppression and collaboration.

http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5760/history.htm
The History of Calculus Development of Calculus.
The English and German mathematicians, respectively, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz invented calculus in the 17th century, but isolated results about its fundamental problems had been known for thousands of years. For example, the Egyptians discovered the rule for the volume of a pyramid as well as an approximation of the area of a circle. In ancient Greece, Archimedes proved that if c is the circumference and d the diameter of a circle, then 3 1/7 d < c <3 10/71 d . His proof extended the method of inscribed and circumscribed figures developed by the Greek astronomer and mathematician Eudoxus. Archimedes used the same technique for his other results on areas and volumes. Archimedes discovered his results by means of heuristic arguments involving parallel slices of the figures and the law of the lever. Unfortunately, his treatise The Method was only rediscovered in the 19th century, so later mathematicians believed that the Greeks deliberately concealed their secret methods.
During the late middle ages in Europe, mathematicians studied translations of Archimedes' treatises from Arabic. At the same time, philosophers were studying problems of change and the infinite, such as the addition of infinitely many quantities. Greek thinkers had seen only contradictions there, but medieval thinkers aided mathematics by making the infinite philosophically respectable.

23. Moore_Eliakim

Eliakim Moore 's father was David Hastings Moore while his mother was Julia Sophia Carpenter. David Moore was a Methodist minister and he and his wife gave their son Eliakim an excellent education. As a child Eliakim played with Martha Morris Young and they would later marry. He attended Woodward High School from 1876 to 1879 and there he prepared for his studies at Yale University. It was at this time that he became interested in mathematics and this happened through a summer job which he took. One summer he worked as an assistant to Ormond Stone, who was the director of the Cincinnati Observatory, and from this time on Eliakim knew that he wanted to study mathematics and astronomy at university. In 1879 Moore entered Yale University and took, as he had planned, courses in mathematics and astronomy. His interests became more clearly in the area of mathematics and he received his B.A. in 1883. He remained at Yale to study for his Ph.D. under the supervision of Hubert Anson Newton. Moore's doctoral dissertation was entitled Extensions of Certain Theorems of Clifford and Cayley in the Geometry of n Dimensions Kronecker and Weierstrass at the University of Berlin. Parshall writes in [13]:-

Salvatore Pincherle was born in Trieste (part of Austria at the time) into a Jewish family. His father was a business man and, after Pincherle had undertaken part of his education in Trieste, he moved to Marseilles taking his family with him. So Pincherle completed his school education in Marseilles. When he was at school in Trieste, Pincherle's interests were in the humanities, but the school in Marseilles specialised in science teaching and Pincherle soon became fascinated with mathematics through excellent teaching there. Leaving Marseilles when his schooling was complete, Pincherle entered the University of Pisa in 1869 to study mathematics. A student of Betti and taught by Dini , Pincherle was strongly influenced by both men. Graduating in 1874 he taught in a school in Pavia but won a scholarship to enable him to study abroad for a year. Pincherle spent his year abroad in Germany, studying at the University of Berlin. There he was strongly influenced by Weierstrass during 1877-78 and all his mathematical work from this time on shows the influence of the great mathematician.

While the scholarly dimensions of the looming American-led war against Iraq have received much airing in international publications over recent weeks (among them an intriguing article on US culture by Harvard University's Joseph S Nye in the latest Political Science Quarterly ), few have bettered the novelty of a German academic's recent argument that reading Tolkein's Lord of the Rings could be the best way to prevent hostilities breaking out in the Middle East.

The Crime of Galileo: Modern History Sourcebook: Indictment and Abjuration of 1633 The proposition that the sun is in the center of the world and immovable from its place is absurd, philosophically false, and formally heretical; because it is expressly contrary to Holy Scriptures. The proposition that the earth is not the center of the world, nor immovable, but that it moves, and also with a diurnal action, is also absurd, philosophically false, and, theologically considered, at least erroneous in faith. 1630 A.D. [See note below. The date should be 1633] Important Note: I have been unable to locate a printed source for the above text. A different translation, with the text of Galileo's abjuration,was posted by Evan Soule, 10/18/1998 at http://www.escribe.com/science/vortex/msg00017.html . Again this is without a printed source, but with the correct date of 1633.

Dan Barbilian
After 1930, however, a revival flamed the soul of Dan Barbilian, because after this year he devoted exclusively to mathematics, becoming one of the promoters of the axiomatic in our country and asserting - as will be seen - by his creations of geometry and algebra. Barbilian started his activity of corespondent to the "Mathematical Gazette" in 1910, as pupil in the Vth grade, science curricula, solving two trigonometry problems, discipline which was only studied in the VIth. grade. As pupil in the Vith grade, in the spring holiday of April 1912, he attended the competition organised by the "Mathematical Gazette" and he was the best. Gheorghe Titeica wrote then about him: "With a very good written paper at algebra, with another excellent one at elementary trigonometry, where he used an admirable ingenious method, with his sure and precise answers which showed a properly managed thinking and extensive knowledge, with these high traits, Dl. Barbilian has won all of a sudden, the top position. Let it be a good sign for the next competitions". In 1914, when Barbilian passed his baccalaureate examination at "Mihai Viteazul" high school, Gh. Titeica, as president of the commission remarked again Barbilian, seeing in him a hope for a future mathematician .

The Secondary Homepages in Mathematics Initiative
Greig Fratus , MathGate Manager, provides information about the Secondary Homepages in Mathematics initiative. An initiative of Math-Net [ ], the Secondary Homepage is a template that aims to sort the types of information usually found on departmental websites in mathematics into standardised sections and labels. By offering a user-friendly navigation and search, the Secondary Homepage overcomes the problem of significantly differing departmental homepages. As implied by the name, the Secondary Homepage is not meant to replace the department's homepage but rather to offer users another way of accessing information that is available on the department's website. MathGate [ ] is attempting to coordinate the UK version of this. Math-Net is an Internet Information Service for mathematicians, and the Secondary Homepage is only part of what they do. They also offer a searchable index for German mathematical resources (SIGMA), a searchable index of preprints from several countries including Austria, France and Germany, a collection of links to mathematical web resources, Persona Mathematica which allows the user to find German mathematicians, and a software search. The Math-Net charter has been endorsed by the International Mathematical Union's Committee for Electronic Information and Communication [

25 years of German-Israeli Scientific Cooperation at the Hebrew University. EDMUND LANDAU CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
The Edmund Landau Center for Research in Mathematical Analysis was established in 1988 to promote cooperation between Israeli and German researchers in the area of mathematical analysis.
The research activities encompass diverse areas in which mathematical analysis plays a central role. These include traditional areas of analysis, such as partial differential equations, functional analysis, and ergodic theory, as well as differential geometry and number theory.
The Landau Center awards doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships to Israeli and German mathematicians. Short exchange visits between Israel and Germany for Center members are also supported by the Center.
The Landau Lectures, a series of three lectures given by a distinguished mathematician, takes place every year. The Center covers the expenses of the guest speakers. The Center also sponsors schools, workshops and symposia in areas related to mathematical analysis. Past conference topics include: fluid dynamics; dynamical systems, topology and analysis; stochastic dynamics; and complex analysis.
Two symposia are scheduled for 1995-1996; one on partial differential equations and mathematical physics and the other on regulators in analysis geometry and number theory.

http://americanhistory.si.edu/teachingmath/
The Early Republic The World Stage The Cold War The Information Age ... Resources Throughout American history, teachers and parents have used objectsfrom colonialera slates to modern electronic calculatorsto help students master abstract mathematical concepts. These math teaching tools reflect society’s hopes and dreams. In the early 1800s, reformers introduced devices for elementary instruction, so that the new republic would have educated citizens. By the 1900s, with many more students in high schools, educators and mathematicians introduced new classroom equipment. To encourage the growth of a U.S. research community, university professors bought models designed by German mathematicians SLATE WITH NUMERAL FRAME
During the cold war, the numbers of students again rose sharply. Believing that technical training would contribute to national security, teachers and mathematicians developed curricula called the “New Math.” Today, with computers and calculators, educators once again are reshaping math teaching for our growing and diverse student body.
