Russell's ideas led to the dominance of analytical logic on western philosophy in the 20th century. An active social reformer, he also wrote on politics, religion and education, and his vocal protests against World War I led to a brief jail sentence in 1918. Although he supported British aims in World War II, later in life Russell became an outspoken advocate of nuclear disarmament. Russell's grandfather was a two-time Prime Minister...when his brother died in 1931, Russell became 3rd Earl of Russell...he won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1950...he was married four times and had a reputation as a ladies' man.

Conclusion Introduction Click here to see the introduction in ASL. Mathematics developed through evolution of ideas, observations, and experimentation by men and women from all occupations and of varying nationalities. These people recognized a need or were curious about a concept. Frequently they discovered that other people in different parts of the world were thinking about and investigating the same theories. Sometimes they pooled their efforts and worked together; sharing notes and having eloquent discussions on these topics. Other times, they worked separately to discover that their ideas and approaches to a problem were the same. On many occasions, each mathematician derived the same conclusion from a completely different approach. Math is not magic. It requires hard work and p

Search MAA Online MAA Home Read This! The MAA Online book review column Briefly Noted December 2000 Problems in Mathematical Analysis I belongs to the great tradition of Eastern European problem books. Although covering only three topics, it boasts over 600 problems, which include all the traditional results usually studied in the first part of an analysis course. Such an impressive collection fills a gap in the materials available for the study of mathematics to students in the US. The book has complete solutions to all the problems, making it also useful for individual study. However, this is not a book for the "calculus-phobic." There are no exercises like "list the first five terms of the sequence," and very few of the problems would be suitable for a 50-minute midterm exam. Most of the problems assume that the reader is skillful in writing proofs, and they are meant to emphasize concepts. The statements are straightforward, without gradual questions designed to break the problems into easier parts or give hints as to which approach is better. n tends to plus or minus infinity, then (1+1/a

97. Writing The Biography Of A Living Scientist: Hans Bethe, S. S. Schweber, Brandei What are the specific mechanisms by which science influences society, He enrolled in the physicomathematical faculty of Novorossia University of Odessa http://oregonstate.edu/dept/Special_Collections/subpages/ahp/1995symposium/schwe

Writing biography is of course also an autobiographical exploration, and a brief account of my own career may help clarify the particular foci of my past biographical researches as well as the structure of my present project: writing the biography of Hans Bethe. I used to be a theoretical physicist. I did my graduate studies at Princeton from 1949 to 1952, and wrote a dissertation in quantum field theory with Arthur Wightman. Princeton was an enormously stimulating place. During my stay, theoretical physics there was dominated by Eugene Wigner, who was the Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics at the university, and by Robert Oppenheimer, who had recently become the director of the Institute for Advanced Study. Every Friday the departmental colloquium would bring Oppenheimer to the University, and the comments by Wigner and Oppenheimer would expose their rivalry and sharply contrasting views of the world. Every Wednesday afternoon all the theorists graduate students and faculty would trek to the Institute to attend the seminar there and listen to Oppenheimer's usually acerbic comments on the presentation. A pervasive sense of community is the strongest impression I have of Cornell. At the time it was not clear to me what or who was responsible for the sense of community. I took for granted the various fora that melded the community: in the Nuclear Lab, the weekly Friday afternoon gatherings where theorists and experimenters presented their latest findings in a form that everyone would understand, and the weekly Monday evening journal club meetings where the latest papers and preprints would be discussed critically for the benefit of everyone. In addition there were the departmental colloquia that brought the Newman Lab staff together with the solid state physicists every week on Monday afternoon. In the Nuclear Lab the sense of community among theorists was consolidated by the fact that most of us during the two years I spent at Cornell were engaged in a collective research program on meson-nucleon scattering.

Sir James Hopwood Jeans Born: 11 Sept 1877 in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England Died: 16 Sept 1946 in Dorking, Surrey, England Click the picture above to see four larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing James Jeans' father was William Tullock Jeans. William Jeans was a parliamentary journalist of Scottish descent who wrote two books on the lives of scientists. The name Hopgood was James mother's maiden name; she came from the north of England. It was a very religious Christian family with James the eldest of the three children and the only boy. James' family moved to Brighton when he was eighteen months old then, when he was three years old, they moved to London. Jeans was educated in Merchant Taylor's School in London which he entered in 1890. The first topic which interested him was classics but soon his interests turned towards mathematics. An excellent mathematics teacher at the school encouraged Jeans' interest in the subject but from the time he was a young child he had shown a fascination with numbers. Several stories about his remarkable abilities as a child indicate both an interest and curiosity about numbers and an outstanding memory. Milne relates in [5] that:- His interest in numbers was early and deep-seated: he not only factorised cab-numbers, but retained in his memory the numbers that he encountered ... At the age of seven he found his father's book of logarithms, tried to discover what they were for but failed, and learnt the first twenty or so seven-figure logs by heart, and remembered them until near the end of his life.
