Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration. I just wanted to show off the font... Most of the mathematicans we hear about come from ancient Greece or Rome or something, so mathematicians only seem to exist in the past, and for us in Asia, in far away lands. So now, we shall introduce 2 Asian mathematicians who lived in this century. Chang Sun-Yung Alice Abu Allah Mohammad ibn Jabir al'Battani Chang Sun-Yung Alice was born in Ci-an, China on the 24th of March, 1948. In 1970 she received her B.S. degree from the National University of Taiway. She came to the United States to pursue graduate studies in mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, earning her Ph.D in 1974. Chang spent one year at the State University of New York at Buffalo, then became Hedrick Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Univesity of California, Los Angeles, during 1975-77. She then taught at the University of Maryland for three years before returning to the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1980 as an associate professor, later promoted to full professor.     Chang's research interests are in the fields of nonlinear partial differential equations and isospectral geometry. In 1995 she was awarded the

Source: China vs ex-USSR What is the score of the top 6 students from ex-USSR (Russia + formerly Soviet republics) Does Russia place #1 if one of its students is replaced by the perfect scorer from Moldova? Edit: If the two lowest scores of Russia (28 and 30) are replaced by 42 and 42 from Moldova and Ukraine, one gets 6 gold medals and a total score of 236, one higher than China. However, one could argue that this is not necessarily the team that would have been selected and we are choosing after the competition. It would be interesting to take the results of all students from the ex-Soviet territories, assume some randomness in selecting the top students, and see what is the probability that Russia is #1.

13. Incompetent Professor - Information Technology Services I think that the basic assumptions of most asian mathematicians is that mathematicsis practical, you don t really need to supplement language to understand http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/t-82854_Incompetent_Professor.html

Technology Services Science Education Zone Incompetent Professor - Incompetent Professor I am currently enrolled in a Diff Eq course at a community college. My instructor has an MS in Math and Electrical engineering which I assumed meant he knew how to think but apparently he doesn't. The problem is this, we are solving differential equations using the LaPlace Transform for differential equations with non-constant coefficients. So on the board he does the LaPlace transform just fine, but when it comes to partial fractal decomposition to solve the actual differential equation he insists that if the factor in the denominator is a prime quadratic we do not need an Ax+B term. He says that unlike in calculus where we wanted to integrate something that we only need a constant term. This to me seems to be completely ludicrous because you cannot set two things equal which are not equal so when you solve the inverse LaPlace you get an answer that is not relevant to your initial problem. Firstly, I am correct that you are not allowed to do what he is doing (throwing away the Ax term) and secondly, if so how do I tell him without upsetting him.

Print Close Sponsored By This month's national park pick... Calakmul National Park, Mexico For many years modern people looked on the Maya as tranquil, thoughtful, mysterious counterpoints to the prosaic, bloodthirsty Aztecs. They were the Greeks of the New World to the Aztecs’ Romans. The image worked fairly well. Since nobody could translate Mayan hieroglyphs, and the civilization’s great cities had become deserted long before Europeans arrived in Mexico, people were free to speculate almost whatever they wanted about the Maya. Where Cortez had Bernal Diaz del Castillo to chronicle the conquest of Tenochtitlan and the Aztec empire, the witnesses to the decline of Mayan civilization had been dead for hundreds of years. The gradual unearthing and restoration of Mayan cities presented the world with a romantic vision of stolid tropical farmers who had husbanded their surpluses to build urban centers with magnificent temples, plazas and public buildings. From the tops of some of those structures, sophisticated stone-age astronomers observed the skies and created a calendar more accurate than our own Gregorian. Independent of Asian mathematicians, Mayan mathematicians conceived of the zero. Their cities lasted hundreds of years, dotted throughout the lush rainforest of present day southeastern Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Then, seemingly overnight, they were abandoned and the civilization collapsed. Some scholars speculated that an ecological disaster, such as over-farming or the destruction of aquifers, strained the carrying ability of the land. The cities, which relied on provisioning by the countryside, could no longer function when the farmers themselves were starving.
