MATEMÁTICOS DE NUESTRO TIEMPO
La matemática actual tiene abiertos fecundos campos de un gran interés. Los grandes matemáticos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y hasta nuestros días intentan el desarrollo de una matemática acorde con el tiempo en que vivimos, capaz de afrontar el reto que representa la tendencia social tanto como el progreso de las necesidades computacionales de las nuevas ingenierías o el avance vertiginoso de algunas disciplinas como la Astrofísica y la Computación Teórica. Mostramos aqui algunas referencias a su trabajo, utilizando diversas fuentes de datos, entre las que podemos destacar, por su excelente documentación, la base de datos de la Universidad de St. Andrews, Escocia. Es una somera indicación del quehacer en la disciplina de matemáticos de extraordinaria calidad, algunos de ellos prematuramente fallecidos, que nacieron en los primeros años de la década de los 40, en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial.

The focus of my research is RNA thermodynamics and the energetic basis of protein-RNA interactions. Although binding of regulatory proteins to B-form DNA has been studied extensively, binding of proteins to RNA is not well understood. The ability of RNA to form complex secondary and tertiary structures complicates the analysis of protein-RNA complexes. The sequence and structure of both the protein and the RNA contribute to the formation of a specific nucleoprotein complex. Two medically relevant systems which are appropriate for biophysical studies are the interaction of thymidylate synthase with its mRNA and the Ro RNPs (ribonucleoproteins). Thymidylate synthase (TS) catalyzes the formation of dTMP from a dUMP substrate. Because of the need for thymine in dividing cells, human TS is a target for cancer chemotherapy. Recently, TS from human and E. coli was shown to inhibit its own translation by binding to a hairpin structure in its mRNA. We are currently using nitrocellulose filter binding and electrophoretic mobility shift assays to optimize the TS-RNA interaction. An in vitro selection experiment utilizing a library of random RNA molecules is being performed to identify the RNA structures and sequences which are specifically recognized by TS. UV photocrosslinking experiments will identify those amino acids of TS which are in close proximity to its RNA ligand. The UV photocrosslinking results and published structure of TS will be used as a guide for extensive mutagenesis of to determine which amino acids contribute binding energy to the protein-RNA complex.

BEHAVIORAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES Gary Becker
University Professor of Economics and Sociology
The University of Chicago

Gary Becker What: Becker has been a pioneer in analyzing the economics of human capital, economic demography, crime and the role of social forces on shaping individual economic behavior. He has also led the economic analysis of racial discrimination that has contributed to a wider series of studies and helped foster greater societal understanding of discrimination in general. He won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1992 for his work. In Human Capital (Columbia University Press, 1964) Becker initiated a broad assault on the fundamental determinants of income distribution and poverty. His ideas are central to public policies on income distribution and poverty, as well as in identifying one of the key "engines of economic growth." His work on economic demography has brought economic thinking to bear on fertility decisions, the marriage market, and the changing structure of families in modern society. Becker's application of cost-benefit calculus to personal decisions on whether or not to engage in criminal behavior has been influential in public policy debates on the causal connections between punishments and criminality. Personal: Ph.D. and Masters degree from the University of Chicago. A.B. degree from Princeton University. Born in Pottsville, Penn., Dec. 2, 1930.

Karen Uhlenbeck MATHEMATICS
The Equations of Nature Throw a ball in the air - where does it go? Put a pot on the stove - how does the heat spread? Blow a soap bubble - what shape will it take? Flip a switch and... a light turns on! All of these phenomena are governed by simple differential equations that have been known and studied for over 100 years. Nature at a small scale - electrons, protons, and other particles - is governed by more complicated laws; these also involve differential equations. Such equations lie at the heart of Karen Uhlenbeck's work. Her discoveries have shed light on the solutions to these equations and have found applications in both geometry and physics. A soap film on a wire frame naturally assumes the form of a curved surface. This is what negative curvature looks like.

The MAA Online book review column
Women In Mathematics: The Addition of Difference
by Claudia Henrion
Reviewed by Mary Shepherd
The book is divided into six chapters, each exploring a "myth" about women and mathematics. Each of the first five chapters include a profile (interview) of one or two women mathematicians. The interviews are for me what brought the book alive. Eleven women were interviewed for the book, but only nine profiles are included: Joan Birman, Lenore Blum, Fan Chung, Fern Hunt, Vivienne Malone-Myers, Marian Pour-El, Judy Roitman, Mary Ellen Rudin and Karen Uhlenbeck. There are not many quotes, if any, from the two women (Marcia Groszek and Linda Keen) who were interviewed do not have profiles in the book. I am not familiar with all of these women, but I truly enjoyed each profile. I thought my favorite would be about Joan Birman since she, like me, received her PhD at age 41. But the most compelling one for me was Vivienne Malone-Myers. I'm sure each reader will have a favorite, too. The book is very readable. Each chapter could be read alone without difficulty. I found the book a joy to read, even when I did not agree with the premise of the author. It would be a great book to give to young women to encourage them to pursue a career in mathematics. I believe it is accessible to most students, perhaps even at the high school level. More than that, I believe men in mathematics should read this book too. It contains valuable insights into how some women perceive the mathematical community, and both men and women can gain by discussing the myths presented in the book. I would certainly encourage women undergraduate students to read this book.
