April 28, 2000 Shaping up mathematics Fields medalist Bill Thurston helps students harvest fruits of geometry Teachers Bill Thurston, standing on left, and Ian Agol, standing right, use hands-on exercises with everyday shapes to geach multidimensional thinking to students. Neil Michel/Axiom photo By Sylvia Wright In the 1884 novel Flatland , a square living on a plane bemoans his two-dimensional life. "Life is somewhat dull in Flatland," he writes. "How can it be otherwise, when all one’s prospect, all one’s landscapes, historical pieces, portraits, flowers, still life, are nothing but a single line?" The Flatlander knows what he is missing because he has just been carried by a teacher into Spaceland, the third dimension. At UC Davis, mathematics professor William Thurston takes his students on a similar trip, into the world of multidimensional thinking. But while the square was impoverished by his new awareness, Thurston’s students are enriched. After a few classes of "Geometry and the Imagination," objects as mundane as apple peels or bathroom tiles and as exotic as the expanding universe all assume new character and complexity. "I just thought this class was going to be on geometry and shapes," said junior Heather Witt, a chemistry major. "I had no idea how much it would apply to everyday things. I’ve never looked at vegetables, for instance, and thought they were mathematically related. And they are."

Coach Bill Thurston is well known for his pitching mechanics expertise.This paper contains valuble and interesting information. The reader should note that there are several areas where Coach Thurston draws conclusions based on his own personal observations and we have a difference of opinion. We base our differences on our understanding of how the neuro-muscular system functions and is supported by research and or observation of pitchers performing at the major league level. We will discuss this more in future postings.

Paul Nyman/Max Ratofor VIDEO ANALYSIS OF THE PITCHING MOTION - CHECK POINTS FOR COACHES By Bill Thurston Head Baseball Coach, Amherst College Amherst, MA and Glenn Fleisig, Phd., Director of Research Biomechanical Engineer American Sports Medicine Institute (ASMI), Birmingham, AL. Mark Wohlers, the hard throwing relief pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, has been video analyzed at the ASMI lab at 500 frames a second. We will use Mark as a model to identify check points and techniques to focus on during the pitching sequence. Throwing a ball is one of the fastest known human actions and is very difficult to study only using the naked eye. For a coach, the use of video analysis, even video taped with a regular camcorder and viewed via a 4 head VCR, is a very effective way to study the specific techniques of the pitching motion.

William Paul Thurston Born: 30 Oct 1946 in Washington, D.C., USA Click the picture above to see three larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Bill Thurston studied at New College, Sarasota, Florida. He received his B.S. from there in 1967 and moved to the University of California at Berkeley to undertake research under Morris Hirsch's and Stephen Smale 's supervision. He was awarded his doctorate in 1972 for a thesis entitled Foliations of 3- manifolds which are circle bundles. This work showed the existence of compact leaves in foliations of 3-dimensional manifolds. After completing his Ph.D., Thurston spent the academic year 1972-73 at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Then, in 1973, he was appointed an assistant professor of mathematics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1974 he was appointed professor of mathematics at Princeton University. Throughout this period Thurston worked on foliations. Lawson ([5]) sums up this work:- It is evident that Thurston's contributions to the field of foliations are of considerable depth. However, what sets them apart is their marvellous originality. This is also true of his subsequent work on

Send e-mail Minor League Ramblings is produced by Bill Mitchell for the readers of Top Prospect Alert "Joey Ballgame" showing that he's the consummate team player July 16, 2002 Joe Thurston Los Angeles infield prospect Joe Thurston is having a stellar season for the Dodgers' Las Vegas AAA affiliate, batting .332 and stealing 15 bases through the first three and a half months of the season. Los Angeles' prospective second baseman of the future has even added a little power to his arsenal this year, with 24 doubles, seven triples and eight homeruns to date. Yet one can't help but observe that the total of Thurston's game exceeds the sum of the individual parts. It's the intangibles that mark the 22-year-old left-handed hitter as a special kind of player. "I feel like I go out there and work hard," commented Thurston about the extras he brings to the game, "whether its bunting, getting someone over, getting on base or getting someone out on defense."

Our Goal The Organization Board of Directors Our Goal Our objective is to provide a healing environment where independently licensed therapists can offer a range of complementary therapies to women with breast cancer without financial barriers. The Organization Virginia Thurston created and lovingly tended to this garden over the last forty years of her life. She died of breast cancer in 1999. The idea behind the Healing Garden is to honor her memory by rededicating her garden to the purpose of helping other women with breast cancer find ways to heal without financial barriers. In this soothing place women can seek help and healing from a comprehensive program of professional counseling, education, and a wide range of complementary therapies Bill Thurston , longtime CEO of GenRad Corporation, and his wife Virginia hosted innumerable gatherings over the years. Bill remembers more than a few times hearing a visitor remark, "This garden is such a healing place!". The idea seems to have taken root. When Virginia Thurston joined her community hospital breast cancer support group in 1993, it was being run by its founder

The Garden Healing Garden Office Picture Gallery (290K) The Garden The Healing Garden facilities are situated in the midst of ten acres of lush gardens. The rolling lawns invite walking, and many secluded nooks afford quiet reflection or intimate conversation. The imaginatively varied spaces include small hedged gardens, grassy paths, fountains, sitting areas overlooking sweeps of lawns, a gazebo, ponds, benches, and lots of flowers. When Virginia Thurston was diagnosed with metatastic breast cancer in 1993, she continued to work in her garden, and with the help of her husband, Bill Thurston , installed a Japanese Meditation Garden as a special healing area. All maintenance of the Garden is via organic treatments. Women with breast cancer and their families are invited to stroll the gardens Monday - Friday, 9am-7pm. Move your mouse over the picture. 1.
