83. The Inaccessibility Of Modern Mathematics The seven unsolved problems I discuss the Clay Millennium problems were chosen could catch up with one new advance before the next one came along. http://www.maa.org/devlin/devlin_11_02.html

Devlin's Angle November 2002 The inaccessibility of modern mathematics In late October, my new book The Millennium Problems: The Seven Greatest Unsolved Mathematical Puzzles of Our Time went on sale across the country, and this month sees me doing the usual round of public lectures, bookstore talks, and magazine, radio and TV interviews that these days accompany the publication of any new book the publisher thinks has even the ghost of a chance of becoming the next popular science bestseller. Of all the books I have written for a general audience, this latest one presented by far the greatest challenge in trying to make it as accessible as possible to non-mathematicians. The seven unsolved problems I discuss the Clay Millennium Problems were chosen by a small, stellar, international committee of leading mathematicians appointed by the Clay Mathematics Institute , which offers a cash prize of $1 million to the first person to solve any one of the problems. The committee's mission was to select the most difficult and most significant unsolved problems at the end of the second millennium, problems that had for many years resisted the efforts of some of the world's greatest mathematicians to find a solution. No one who is at all familiar with modern mathematics will be surprised to find that none of the seven problems chosen is likely to be solved by elementary methods, and even the

Ehrlich displays savvy with range of media Mathematics problem that remains elusive and beautiful PRIME OBSESSION: BERNHARD RIEMANN AND THE GREATEST UNSOLVED PROBLEM IN MATHEMATICS By John Derbyshire Joseph Henry Press, $27.95, 422 pages, illus. REVIEWED BY RAYMOND PETERSEN Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866) published nine scientific articles during his short life. Two were major intellectual blockbusters. The first, presented in 1854 at Gottingen University, qualified him for a tenured position on that school's soon-to-become world-class mathematics department. Riemann's lecture, "On the Hypotheses that Lie at the Foundation of Geometry," is regarded as one of the 10 top presentations in mathematics, ever. In it, he outlined a new type of geometry, which led to such diverse discoveries as atomic bombs and black holes and today is famously known as Riemann Geometry. His second blockbuster article is the subject of John Derbyshire's new book, "Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics." That problem, entitled "On the Number of Prime Numbers Less Than a Given Quantity," was likewise delivered in lecture form, this time in August of 1859 on the occasion of Riemann's induction into the Berlin Academy of Science, a tremendous honor of the then 32-year-old mathematician.

Weird Math Advanced Algebra This course focused on various algebraic topics such as bases, inequalities, functions, divisibility rules, set theory, mathematical induction and abstract algebra. Advanced Geometry This course began with the study of Greek construction rules, and we discussed the differences between a collapsible compass and a modern compass. We constructed regular polygons, proved theorems about triangles, and used Geometer's Sketchpad to solve geometry problems. Finally, we explored inversive geometry. Advanced Programming A broken program which calculates distances of projectiles, however the "Original Height" and "Ending Height" features do not draw correctly. User selects box to move with mouse and moves box through maze of moving walls towards goal using arrow keys. Art of Computer Programming Donald Knuth wrote a three-volume work called The Art of Computer Programming. In this class we talked about some of the topics in Knuth's work, such as recurrences and random number generators. We also discussed some topics in languages and strings. Combinatorics Combinatorics is an exploration on counting objects. The first half of this course studied basic enumeration methods, permutations, and combinations. We also explored the relationship between binomial coefficients and Pascal's Triangle. The second half focused on generating functions, Fibonacci numbers, and graph algorithms.

Poundstone, in [8], writes:- At the age of six, he was able to exchange jokes with his father in classical Greek. The Neumann family sometimes entertained guests with demonstrations of Johnny's ability to memorise phone books. A guest would select a page and column of the phone book at random. Young Johnny read the column over a few times, then handed the book back to the guest. He could answer any question put to him who has number such and such? or recite names, addresses, and numbers in order. In 1911 von Neumann entered the Lutheran Gymnasium . The school had a strong academic tradition which seemed to count for more than the religious affiliation both in the Neumann's eyes and in those of the school. His mathematics teacher quickly recognised von Neumann's genius and special tuition was put on for him. The school had another outstanding mathematician one year ahead of von Neumann, namely Eugene Wigner In 1921 von Neumann completed his education at the Lutheran Gymnasium. His first mathematics paper, written jointly with Fekete the assistant at the University of Budapest who had been tutoring him, was published in 1922. However Max Neumann did not want his son to take up a subject that would not bring him wealth. Max Neumann asked Theodore von

Producers The Ultimate Hypothesis June 9, 2004 John Derbyshire Author, Prime Obsession Columnist, National Review Website As we may all remember from elementary mathematics, a prime number is a number that can only be divided by itself and the number one. This simple property of certain numbers, however, has been the subject of centuries of mathematical research. And a conjecture associated with it, called the Riemann Hypothesis , has been proclaimed as the greatest unsolved problem in mathematics. So much so that the person who solves it can claim a million dollar prize and of course everlasting fame and fortune. Well, joining us today on Berkeley Groks to discuss this million dollar mathematical dillema is Mr. John Derbyshire. Mr. Derbyshire is a mathematician and linguist by education, a systems analyst by profession, and a celebrated writer whose work has appeared in the National Review and the New Criterion . He is the author of the book, Prime Obsession: Bernhard Riemann and the Greatest Unsolved Problem in Mathematics . And he joins us today on Berkeley Groks to discuss prime numbers and the Riemann Hypothesis. Charles Lee ( CL ) interviews John Derbyshire ( JD ) about the Riemann Hypothesis.

Motsenigos, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK February 2001, ISBN 1-57485-052-0, pp. 115, hardcover, US$65 One of the problems of interest in Dynamical Systems is the determination of the asymptotic behaviour of orbits. Often, we are required to find ways to describe various complicated sets (like attractors or basins of attraction for example) that are strongly related to this asymptotic behaviour problem. The aim of this book is to introduce fractal dimensions (Box-counting and Hausdorff dimensions in particular) as a tool which aids in the description and understanding of these complicated sets and, therefore, of the related dynamics.

Francis Edward Su From the Fun Fact files, here is a Fun Fact at the Advanced level: Fermat's Last Theorem There are lots of Pythagorean triples ; triples of whole numbers which satisfy: x + y = z But are there any which satisfy x n + y n = z n for integer powers n greater than 2? The French jurist and mathematician Pierre de Fermat claimed the answer was "no", and in 1637 scribbled in the margins of a book he was reading (by Diophantus) that he had "a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which the margin is too narrow to contain". This tantalizing statement (that there are no such triples) came to be known as Fermat's Last Theorem even though it was still only a conjecture, since Fermat never disclosed his "proof" to anyone. Many special cases were established, such as for specific powers, families of powers in special cases. But the general problem remained unsolved for centuries. Many of the best minds have sought a proof of this conjecture without success. Finally, in the 1993, Andrew Wiles, a mathematician who had been working on the problem for many years, discovered a proof that is based on a connection with the theory of

Comments on NDREU -Margaret Doig, Princeton Univ. I felt that the NDREU 2005 program offered me a big glimpse into the world of research mathematics. Over the course of the seven week program, my partner and I were able to start a project on a topic of which we knew very little and end up extending some previous results into new areas. The program offered daily faculty interaction at a level that I felt was appropriatenot too hands on or hands off. I felt that I had the freedom to pursue what interested me, and yet also had enough direction to not feel like I was truly getting stuck somewhere. I plan on continuing the research we started during the summer throughout the school year. However, the biggest thing I came away from this program with was a knowledge that not only could I pursue a career academia, but that this was actually something that I wanted to do.

In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute (www.claymath.org) named seven "Millennium Prize Problems" that it considers to be among the most important unsolved problems in mathematics and has set aside a $7-million prize fund for the solutions to the problems, $1 million per solution. One of the problems is the Poincar© Conjecture postulated by Henri Poincar© in 1904. It states that every closed simply connected 3-manifold can be continuously deformed into a 3-sphere. Poincar© knew that the result was true for 2-manifolds and 2-spheres, but 3-manifolds proved to be elusive. Interestingly, the conjecture was proved for five and higher dimensions in the 1960s and for the difficult case of four dimensions in 1982. Thus, only the original 3-dimensional case remained unsettled. Several incorrect proofs have been given, one by Poincar© himself.

99. Absolute Certainty? This problem, one of the most famous in mathematics, was posed more than 350years ago to be one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. http://www.fortunecity.com/emachines/e11/86/certain.html

web hosting domain names photo sharing Absolute Certainty? "VIDEO PROOF" [See Video N25] dramatizes a theorem, proved by William P. Thurston of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (left), that establishes a profound connection between topology and geometry. The theorem shows how the space surrounding a complex knot (represented by the lattice in this scene) yields a "hyperbolic" geometry, in which parallel lines diverge and the sides of pentagons form right angles.The computer- generated video, called Not Knot, was produced at the Geometry Center in Minnesota. Computers are transforming the way mathematicians discover,prove and communicate ideas,but is there a place for absolute certainty in this brave new world? Legend has it that when Pythagoras and his followers discovered the theorem that bears his name in the sixth century B.C., they slaughtered an ox and feasted in celebration. And well they might. The relation they found between the sides of a right triangle held true not sometimes or most of the time but always-regardless of whether the triangle was a piece of silk or a plot of land or marks on papyrus. It seemed like magic , a gift from the gods. No wonder so many thinkers

Autobiography Her parents had come as a couple to Bluefield from their original homes in western North Carolina. Her father, Dr. James Everett Martin, had prepared as a physician at the University of Maryland in Baltimore and came to Bluefield, which was then expanding rapidly in population, to start up his practice. But in his later years Dr. Martin became more of a real estate investor and left actual medical practice. I never saw my grandfather because he had died before I was born but I have good memories of my grandmother and of how she could play the piano at the old house which was located rather centrally in Bluefield. A sister, Martha, was born about two and a half years later than me, on November 16, 1930.
