On this hot, dry summer day, our time-traveling reporter visited the famous Greek mathematician Diophantus, who is a professor at the University of Alexandria, Egypt. In response to our reporter's question about his recent research, Diophantus described his efforts in making the language of mathematics more concise. He illustrated how he now uses abbreviations to form succinct equations that make some of the lengthy problems simpler to solve. Looking at the complex collection of symbols and letters that Diophantus used in his equations, our reporter commented that "it's all Greek to me", eliciting a wry smile from this great mathematician.

87. Diophantus The answer is 84 years old. diophantus studied at the University ofAlexandria in Egypt. His major contribution to mathematics is http://www.math.wichita.edu/history/men/diophantus.html

Diophantus "Father of algebra" c. 250 C.E. The "Silver Age" of Alexandria, also known as the Later Alexandrian Age, was about 250 - 350 C.E. Diophantus, a Greek algebraist of this era, was thought to belong to this time period, but there is some uncertainty to the exact time frame of his life. Little is known of his personal life except for an algebraic puzzle rhyme determining his age from Anthologia Palatina which is a collection of problems dating from the 5th and 6th centuries. "Here lies Diophantus." The wonder behold- Through art algebraic, the stone tells how old: "God gave him his boyhood one-sixth of his life, One-twelfth more as youth while whiskers grew rife; And then yet one-seventh eve marriage begun; In five years there came a bouncing new son. Alas, the dear child of master and sage Met fate at just half his dad's final age. Four years yet his studies gave solace from grief; Then leaving scenes earthly he, too found relief." Did you solve the puzzle? The answer is 84 years old. Diophantus studied at the University of Alexandria in Egypt. His major contribution to mathematics is a collection of 13 books called Arithmetica, in which only 6 survived through the centuries, and exhibit a high degree of math skills and ingenuity. His series of books, a collection of approximately 150 problems, was devoted to the exact solution of equations, but lacked finding a method of determining general solutions. His books are thought to be a problem collection in the application of algebra and not an algebra textbook.

T H E S CIENCES B EYOND THE L AST T HEOREM In May of last year two mathematicians published a proof of Fermat's conjecture, the most famous mathematical brainteaster of all time. So what comes next? BY DORIAN GOLDFELD O n August 8, 1900, at the International Congress of Mathematics in Paris, the German mathematician David Hilbert stood before his peers and posed twenty-three difficult, unsolved problems that he believed should guide the future of mathematics. Grundlagen der Geometrie Diophantine equations take their name from the Greek mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria, who probably lived in the third century of our era and who discussed such problems at length in his treatise Arithmetica. Typical among them is a problem that fascinated the Greeks, namely, finding right triangles the lengths of whose sides are in whole-number ratios to one another. To state the matter in the form of an equation, the right-triangle problem is to find whole numbers x, y and z that satisfy the Pythagorean relation x y z Hilbert's tenth problem posed a challenge of breathtaking generality: Given a Diophantine equation with any number of unknown quantities and with rational integral numerical coefficients: To devise a process according to which it can be determined by a finite number of operations whether the equation is solvable in rational integers.

Contact Us History of Algebra Algebra is defined by Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary as a generalization of arithmetic in which letters representing numbers are combined according to the rules of arithmetic. This is not a good definition of algebra. It would take a thick book to really explain it. In fact, to this day it is still being added to. There are always new things to be discovered about it. It has been added to by many different people over the centuries. Algebra has a long interesting history. The first work describing algebra was called Arithmetica, a treatise by Diophantus of Alexandria. It was a collection of 130 problem and numerical solutions. Only 6 of the 13 books have been found, the others were believed to have been destroyed soon after their creation. Diophantus was known as the father of algebra. The way he solved problems algebraically was know as Diophantine analysis. He lived from about 200 AD to about 284 AD He was the first to use an algebraic symbolism, in which

Matthias Pfau James Leitzel (See story below) TWO NEW CEPS FACULTY MEMBERS The Poetry of the Mind Matthias Pfau, assistant professor of mathematics Matthias Pfau isn't what you'd call a born mathematician. He didn't even like math much as a student. "In school, you don't learn about what mathematics is," he says. "Real math is about ideas and proof, rather than simply about calculating." Pfau's passion for the pure math he now studies began in the hospital. Bedridden for several weeks during high school with a broken jaw, Pfau began reading an old four-volume set of math textbooks he'd picked up at a secondhand bookstore. Suddenly he was hooked. The dusky green volumes that inspired him still sit on his crowded bookshelves in his UNH office. Pfau, who recently joined the faculty as an assistant professor of mathematics, grew up in Germany and received his B.S. from the Rheinische Universitaet Bonn. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 1993, he held a series of visiting scholar positions at prestigious institutes, globetrotting from Germany to Princeton, New Jersey, to Taiwan, to France. Today he and his wife Wafa Wei, also a mathematician, and their young son Jacob are settled in New Hampshire. Pfau traces his mathematical ancestry back through the centuries the way some people trace their family trees. He sets the scene with the Pythagoreans, who translated all proportions in nature into geometric forms. The Pythagorean world was a beautifully balanced realm of geometric relationships, from the orbit of the spheres to the proportions of the human body. "Then the bad news broke," says Pfau. "Everything wasn't as neat as it looks."
