BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Photo by Bachrach George David Birkhoff By Oswald Veblen G EORGE DAVID BIRKHOFF WAS born at Overisel, Michigan, on the twenty-first of March, 1884. His ancestry was Dutch on both sides. His father, David Birkhoff, came from Holland in 1870, and during George David's growing years was a physician in Chicago. Birkhoff studied at the Lewis Institute, Chicago, from 1896 to 1902, and at the University of Chicago for a year. After this he went to Harvard, where he received the Bachelor's degree in 1905. Beginning in the year 1900 there appeared in the problem department of the American Mathematical Monthly , edited by B. F. Finkel, a series of notes, solutions, and problems by H. S. Vandiver, of Bala, Pennsylvania. In 1901 Birkhoff, who had doubtless found the monthly in the old John Crerar Library, began exchanging letters about various questions in the theory of numbers with Vandiver, who was then nineteen years old. This correspondence resulted in the publication in 1904 of their joint paper in the Annals of Mathematics "On the integral devisors of a n b n ." So far as I know this was Birkhoff's only publication in the theory of numbers, but Vandiver has told me that Birkhoff was in possession in those days of at least one number-theoretical theorem which is now counted among the notable contributions of a distinguished mathematician in another part of the world. In later life Birkhoff often showed an interest in number theory, but seems never to have taken the deep plunge which would have been necessary in order to bring up new results of the sort that would have satisfied him. It was not until his Princeton period that he met Vandiver personally.

82. Jordan Curve Theorem points near the curve.). The first correct proof of the Jordan curvetheorem was given by oswald veblen in 1905. However his proof http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~fiedorow/math655/Jordan.html

Jordan Curve Theorem and its Generalizations The Jordan curve theorem is deceptively simple: Jordan Curve Theorem Any continuous simple closed curve in the plane, separates the plane into two disjoint regions, the inside and the outside. For a long time this result was considered so obvious that no one bothered to state the theorem, let alone prove it. The result was first stated as a theorem in Camille Jordan's The theorem is indeed obvious for smooth curves (hint: standard elementary calculus texts show how to compute the outward normal vector to such a curve) and not too difficult to extend to piecewise smooth curves. However this approach completely breaks down for nowhere smooth simple closed curves like the Koch snowflake shown here: (You might also take a look at the Java version of the snowflake to appreciate the difficulties that arise when one tries to distinguish between inside and outside points near the curve.) The first correct proof of the Jordan curve theorem was given by Oswald Veblen in 1905. However his proof left open the question of whether the inside and outside of all such curves were homeomorphic to the inside and outside of the standard circle in the plane (ie. the unit complex numbers). This strong form of the Jordan curve theorem was proved by

John von Neumann : Un Genio Incomparable Fuente: http://www.lania.mx/~ccoello/historia/ De todas las mentes brillantes que ha producido Hungría, la de John von Neumann es, indudablemente, una de las más célebres. Ingeniero químico de profesión, pero matemático de corazón, von Neumann realizó importantes contribuciones a la mecánica cuántica, la investigación de operaciones, y la teoría de los autómatas celulares, mientras de paso diseñaba la arquitectura que aún hoy en día utilizan las computadoras digitales de todo el mundo. Introducción Tal vez una de las teorías elaboradas por los físicos de los Alamos que menos se conoce es aquella según la cual todos los húngaros son marcianos. De acuerdo a esta teoría, los marcianos abandonaron su planeta natal hace siglos, para asentarse en Europa central. Por razones obvias de seguridad, decidieron ocultar sus orígenes a sus vecinos, pero pese a sus intentos existen todavía tres características que los delatan: primera, su pasión por los viajes (tienen alma de gitanos); segunda, su idioma (el húngaro no tiene relación con ningún otro idioma terrestre, excepto por el finlandés); y tercera, su producción excepcional de genios (sobre todo en física y matemáticas) a lo largo de su historia, sobre todo considerando el tamaño tan reducido de este país. Esta casta de superdotados se produjo primordialmente en la clase media de Budapest, y asistió en su mayoría a la misma preparatoria luterana ( Agostai Hitvallasu Evangelikus Fogimnazium

Born in Alamagordo, New Mexico, on March 2, 1902, E. U. Condon spent a life in theoretical physics that brought him into many of the major developments in the field, from the quantum revolution of the 1920s to the nuclear and electronic revolution of the 1950s and 1960s. Making substantial contributions as a scientist and administrator in academia, industry, and in service to the government, Condon also tasted his fair share of controversy. After high school, Condon initially set his sights a career in journalism, working at the Oakland

This is a paper I wrote for math. It is about a person who made large contributions to the math community. Henry Whitehead Noah 10-15-01 Henry Whitehead was born on November 11, 1904 in Madras, India. His father's name was Alfred, and his mother's was Isobel. His father was a minister, and his mother had studied math at Oxford University. His uncle was also a mathematician. A few months after he was born, Henry's s family brought him back to England where his grandmother lived. While he was growing up, he didn't see his parents much. Henry did well in all parts of school both academically, and socially. He also did well in sports. After high school he attended Eton University where he studied math. He was not doing the best he could in the subject because he was interested in many things. This was also because he was sad about being away from his parents. In 1923, Henry left Eton to go to Balliol College in Oxford, England. Henry found that like Eton, Oxford had many distractions. At Oxford, Henry proved to be outstanding at math. In 1927, he finished college, and got a job with a stock brokerage firm in London. He decided he didn't like the city life, and returned to Oxford in 1928. Back at Oxford, Henry met Oswald Veblen who got him interested in Differential Geometry. Veblen also helped him get into Princeton University where Henry got his Ph.D. At Princeton in 1932, along with Veblen, Henry wrote. The Foundations of Differential Geometry, which is now considered a classic. In his third year at Princeton, Henry became interested in topology. In this part of his work he is best remembered for his development of the homotopy theory, which is a special kind of mapping topological spaces.

Suggestions for additional background material The Short Story Luther Eisenhart took over in Fine's place during the key decade of the 1930s which brought Einstein to Princeton and saw the formation of the Institute for Advanced Studies which was housed in Fine Hall during the 6 years (1933-1939) of the construction of its own Fuld Hall facility. Eisenhart was also a leader: chairman of the mathematics department (1929-45), Dean of the Faculty (1925-1933), and Dean of the Graduate School (1933-45). As a specialist in differential geometry, he was also keenly interested in general relativity. Fine, Eisenhart and Veblen were also past presidents of the American Mathematical Society This oral history project, The Princeton Mathematics Community in the 1930s: An Oral History Project , grew out of the interest of Albert Tucker (1905-1995), who succeeded Lefschetz as department chair (1953-1963), in turn succeeded by a Princeton bred mathematician John Milnor (1963-19). After his retirement (1974), Tucker wanted someone to record the history of that remarkable mathematical community of the 1930s, but in the end, he had to take matters into his own hands.
