    Extractions: Mark Kac had a great influence on mathematical physics for his work on the Wiener process, where he obtained an expression for the perturbed semigroup of a heat equation in terms of an integral over path space. This was soon recognised to be the rigorous form of the Feynman integral. Go to my HOME PAGE for more links.

    Extractions: MARK KAC SEMINAR intoduction talks archive contact location The `Mark Kac seminar on Probability and Physics ' is a monthly meeting held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, between probabilists and statistical physicists. The range of topics covered includes: The seminar originally started in 1977 with informal meetings of a small group of Dutch mathematicians and physicists discussing topics in their common field of interest. Following a suggestion by P.W. Kasteleyn, one of the founding pathers of statistical physics in the Netherlands, the seminar was named after Mark Kac in 1985. Mark Kac had close contacts with many Dutch scientists and was a regular visitor until his death in 1984. His work is at the very core of the area in mathematical physics that the seminar tries to cover.

    Extractions: Mark Kac pioneered the mathematical theory of stochastic processes. His formulation of Brownian motion became famous as the "Faynman-Kac Formula". Mark was renowned for simple questions with profound answers such as, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" whose answers require deep mathematics and have significant physical applications. Mark generously gave his time, advice, and energy to CNLS even though privately he complained that nonlinear studies is not a proper definition of a scientific endeavor, any more than non-elephant zoology is. The Kac Memorial Lectures provide us a yearly opportunity to celebrate his encouragement, wisdom and charm.

Albert Einstein (Naturwissenschaften 1917) "Fate cut off too early his beneficent activities as researcher and teacher; let us, however, uphold his example and his works!" Arnold Sommerfeld (Phys. Zeits. 1917) "Those who have followed his brilliant scientific accomplishments, saw him as the logical heir to Boltzmann's view of the description of Nature. His name will, forever, be associated with the first flowering of atomic theory." Mark Kac (Enigmas of Chance, An Autobiography 1985) "Few realise today what an important role Marian Smoluchowski played in bringing atoms to life and even fewer that it happened in Lwów."

    Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand April 14, 1997 The sounds of different types of drums in a marching band are easy to distinguish, even without seeing the instruments. What makes these sounds so readily identifiable is that each drum vibrates at characteristic frequencies, depending mainly on the size, shape, tension, and composition of its sound-generating drumhead. This spectrum of frequencies the set of pure tones, or normal modes, produced by a vibrating membrane stretched across a frame gives a drum's sound its particular color. Physicists and mathematicians have long recognized that the shape of the boundary enclosing a membrane plays a crucial role in determining the membrane's spectrum of normal-mode vibrations. In 1966, mathematician Mark Kac, then at Rockefeller University in New York City, focused attention on the opposite question. Kac asked whether knowledge of a drum's normal-mode vibrations is sufficient for unambiguously inferring its geometric shape. His paper, which proved remarkably influential, bore the playful title "Can One Hear the Shape of a Drum?" Previously, mathematicians had established that both the area of a drum's membrane and the length of its rim leave a distinctive imprint on a drum's spectrum of normal modes. In other words, one can "hear" a drum's area and perimeter.

    Statistical Independence and Normal Numbers An Aftermath to mark kac's Carus Monographby Gerald S. Goodman goodman@ds.unifi.it In his Carus Monograph on  
    http://www.maa.org/pubs/monthly_feb99.html
    
    Extractions: From the time of his stunning incompleteness results in 1931 until the end of his life, Kurt Gödel called for the pursuit of new axioms to settle undecided arithmetical problems. And from 1947 on, with the publication of his unusual article "What is Cantor's continuum problem?" (as it happens, in the American Mathematical Monthly ) he called in addition for the pursuit of new axioms to settle Cantor's famous conjecture about the cardinal number of the continuum. In both cases, he pointed primarily to schemes of higher infinity in set theory as the direction in which to seek these new principles. Logicians have learned a great deal in recent years that is relevant to Gödel's program, but there are considerable differences of opinion as to what conclusions to draw from their results. The history of that work is traced from the beginning axiomatizations of number theory by Dedekind and Peano, and of set theory by Zermelo and Fraenkel, to the very present. We then turn to an examination of what axioms of higher set theory are needed to settle problems in finite combinatorics, the continuum problem, and scientifically applicable mathematics, and close with some controversial conclusions.

    Extractions: Home According to Marc Kac (a physicist and therefore a man you should trust implicitly), there are two kinds of genius; the "ordinary" and the "magician". An ordinary genius is a fellow that you or I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they have done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. They are, to use mathematical jargon, in the orthogonal complement of where we are and the working of their minds is for all intents and purposes incomprehensible. Even after we understand what they have done, the process by which they have done it is completely dark. They seldom, if ever, have students because they cannot be emulated and it must be terribly frustrating for a brilliant young mind to cope with the mysterious ways in which the magician's mind works. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest caliber. Enigmas of Chance , Marc Kac, 1995 There are two things to note about this quotation. Firstly, Feynman is of course sadly no longer with us. Secondly, I feel I must apologise for "fellow" and "his" (I almost put "...a fellow [sic] that..."). There is probably no sexism implied; I don't know, I haven't read Kac's book. I usually read "he" and "his" etc and think of it as generic, genderless. But then I am a
