Every human being who is capable of learning how to speak a language is also capable of acquiring not just simple but deep mathematical skills, says ICTP's new mathematics group head Le Dung Trang. Culture of Mathematics R esearch on brain function and behaviour has highlighted the central role of language in all human activities. Language is indispensable both for comprehending what is happening around us and for learning new ideas. Put another way, without language it is difficult to understand and to learn. Research, moreover, also has shown that language is a cornerstone of culture: That the language we speak has a great bearing on who we areprecisely because it serves as a major force driving the socialisation process. If language is culture-bound, mathematics has long been viewed as a culture-free, universal source of knowledge and understanding. Yet language at its core evolves around a set of rules and codes that parallel the rules and codes framing mathematics. For this reason, I would contend that language capability is a deep and complex reflection of mathematical capability and that both, in turn, are 'naturally' present in all human beings. I use the word 'naturally' in a broad sense and not as a concept that language stems only from genetic predisposition. Because of the close ties between language and mathematics, I have concluded that every human being who is capable of learning how to speak a language (that means virtually everyone) is also capable of acquiring not just simple but deep mathematical skills. After all, the logic and abstract understanding embodied in languagetranslating sounds, images, ideas and factsinto a common base of understanding represents the very principles of mathematics as well. Language skills, however, do not translate easily into mathematical skills. As many math-challenged people will readily admit, mastering mathematics is not easy.

Hyperbolic spaces and Related topics conference¸¦ ´Ù³à¿Í¼­ 1. About the conference This conference is held annually among Japanese mathematicians who study the hyperbolic geometry and related topics. This one was the fifth conference held at Kyoto institute. It is organized by Professor Shigeyasu Kamiya in Okayama University and I was invited as one of the 20 Japanese speakers. Since I was the only foreigner, they sometimes spoke in Japanese, which made me decide to learn Japanese in a few years. I and Professor Kamiya and another colleague stayed in a nearby hotel which was opposite to the old emperor's palace called the Garden Palace. Kyoto was a quiet, gracious and Japanese-like old city spotted by many temples and gardens. In the coference, many topics are treated including a classical 3 dimensional hyperbolic geometry such as Marden's conjecture, arithmetic Kleinian groups, 3-dimensional manifold invariants such as eta-invariant and Casson invariant, complex hyperbolic space, locally conformal Kahler geometry and etc. I talked about the marked length rigidity in a complex projective structure on Rimann surfaces. 2.

With Joji Kajiwara of Kyushu University in Japan as Chairman, they established the Organizing Committee of the Korean-Japanese Colloquium on Finite or Infinite Dimensional Complex Analysis. Kwang Ho Shon of Pusan National University in Korea held the First Korean-Japanese Colloquium on Finite or Infinte Dimensional Complex Analysis at Pusan National University in July 1993. Hideaki Kazama of Kyushu University held the Second Colloquium at Kyushu University in July 1994. The committee invited their Chinese colleague Zhong Li of Peking University and extended the name from Korean-Japanese to International. Suk Young Lee held the Third International Colloquiun on Finite or Infinite Dimensional Complex Analysis at Iwha University in Seoul, Korea, July/August 1995. Tadayoshi Kanemaru held the Fourth Colloquium at Kumamoto University in Japan, August 1996.

Next: My Koku is Bigger Up: The Tokugawa Period Previous: Ieyasu's grandson Iemitsu Contents Index Interlude: Old Books, National Learning and other -isms As I mentioned before, some samurai had a lot of time to sit around and think. To a small degree, the government encouraged it - as long as you were thinking of ways to buttress Tokugawa power. Early on, Ieyasu made use of Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism to legitimize his rule, but as time went by, he made greater use of Confucianism. We dont need to get into all the various schools of Confucianist thought but we do know that there was not just one school and that several of these different ones were influential during the Tokugawa period. The governments official favorite was the Chu Hsi school, which placed great emphasis on duty and acting according to your station in life. Not too hard to see why the Tokugawa family liked it; Chu Hsi Confucianism was very conservative. A rival school was the Wang Yang-ming (cool name!) school. This school stressed intuitive knowledge of right and wrong and personal responsibility. A famous, though possibly bogus, Wang Yang-ming saying is "to know and not to act is not to know." Since morality is subjective, if you think something is wrong, it is and you must act on that knowledge. Subversive thinking this. This school greatly influenced the men who destroyed the Tokugawa regime in the 1860s. Next: My Koku is Bigger Up: The Tokugawa Period Previous: Ieyasu's grandson Iemitsu Contents Index

As Brauer said in his autobiographical note [15, p. xviii], "It seems superfluous to describe the stimulating influence on all who came to know him." Brauer's contact with Siegel resulted in a lasting friendship and had the immediate effect of stimulating Brauer's thinking about problems in analytic number theory. This led to several papers, culminating in a proof twelve years later of a conjecture of Siegel giving an asymptotic relationship satisfied by the class number, the regulator, and the discriminant of an algebraic number field [9]. The year at Princeton was also marked by tragedy. Emmy Noether had come to the United States at about the same time as the Brauers and taken a position at Bryn Mawr College. There she had begun to have research students and came to Princeton during the academic year 1934-35 to give a weekly seminar on class field theory at the Institute. The Brauers had an opportunity to know her well during that time. In April 1935, she took what was to have been a brief recess from her work in order to undergo surgery. She was unable to recover from the operation, and died a few days later. On April 18, 1935, Brauer wrote a long letter to Hasse about Emmy Noether's last days, concluding with the words, "We have lost in her a dear friend."

Harald Bohr collection of reprints Bohr's large collection of reprints was sold by his wife Ulla Bohr to the Library at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences , New York in 1952. It is still (1996) kept there bounded in 270 volumes (volume 141 was missing). The collection may be said to consist of three series: a series of medium sized volumes (volume 1-171), a series of small sized volumes (volume 172-186) and a series of large sized volumes (volume 187-270). The reprints in each series are ordered alphabetical which means that reprints from one author may be in all three series. On the back of each volume is printed Harald Bohr Collection , the volume number and the alphabetical interval covered by the volume (for example "N - Nielsen"). Some of the volumes, estimated 10%, contains a typewritten table of content which lists author and title of the reprints, but no catalog has been made of the complete content. Often the page numbers of the reprints start from page 1 and are not the page numbers of the actual published articles. Most of the content is reprints of articles published in mathematical journals. A significant part of the reprints are from

54. Review Of Fermat's Enigma In 1955, two japanese mathematicians demonstrated a remarkable correlation betweentwo types of equations, known as ellipticals and modular forms, http://www.leegruenfeld.com/reviews/fermat.htm

Fermat's Enigma , by Simon Singh (Walker) hope Last year I reviewed an extraordinary book by Dava Sobell called Longitude click here ). Suspenseful and thrilling, it was the true story of the struggle to provide a means by which ships at sea could determine their longitude, a deceptively complex task that baffled scientists for centuries. Failure to solve the riddle had real-world consequences: thousands of lives and fortunes were lost as ships, unable to accurately determine their positions, missed their destinations only to founder on rocky shoals or be lost at sea. Sobell's achievement was to take a hopelessly dry subject and imbue it with all the excitement and intrigue of a top-notch mystery novel. It was a bestseller (and one of the top sellers among books ordered through LeeGruenfeld.com last year) and thousands of readers, who would no more have picked up a technical treatise on navigation than read a phone book, found themselves suddenly fascinated by such diverse fields as horology, astronomy and mathematics. Now comes Fermat's Enigma , by BBC journalist Simon Singh, in a physical format suspiciously similar to that of Longitude . In fact, most everything else about the book is similar as well: it takes a subject that most people wouldn't dream about spending two seconds on and presents it so compellingly that it reads more like Ludlum than Hawking. Populated with extraordinary characters and punctuated by love stories, suicides, piques of destructive jealousy and flashes of the sheerest genius

Azumaya Illinois University He won a prize, from the Japan Academy, called "Gakushi-in shou" (one of the most important prizes in Japan.) Hamburg University, Princeton Member of the Japan Academy Death in Nagoya Tadasi Nakayama was born in Tokyo in July 1912. It is said that his father was an eminent scholar of Chinese classics. He graduated from Musasi high school under the old system and from the (Imperial) University of Tokyo. It is not clear who was his superviser at Tokyo University. He learned algebra by very carefully reading Kenjiro Shoda 's book "Abstract Algebra" and he published some papers solving some problems posed in the book. Shoda, an uncle of an empress, was a mathematician who founded the department of Mathematics in Osaka University. He learned abstract algebra from E. Noether in Goettingen - Shoda was one of the Noether boys. In 1935 soon after the graduation of university he had a job as a Research Associate at the University of Osaka that was founded shortly before that. In 1937 he became an Associate Professor there. He stayed there for seven years until moving to the newly founded University of Nagoya in 1942 as an Associate Professor.

March 13, 2000 VOL. 29, NO. 27 Mathematicians To Hold Annual Conference At Hopkins Mathematicians from around the world will meet at Homewood on Friday, March 17, for the start of a 10-day international conference, an annual event co-sponsored by the Mathematics Department and the Japan-U.S. Mathematics Institute, known as JAMI. This year's conference will focus on recent progress in homotopy theory. The conference aims to facilitate interaction between the mathematicians working in homotopy theory, which is a branch of algebraic topology, and to allow them discuss recent developments. The JAMI program, inaugurated in 1988, continues the tradition of friendly relations and interaction with Japanese mathematicians. JAMI also has attracted the attention of European mathematicians, and consequently, the yearly conference has attained an international scale with scholars from Europe joining the American and Japanese participants. The conference is part of a semester-long special program that has attracted 11 visitors from Japan, who are staying for one to three months. Because of them and the strength of the department in homotopy theory, Johns Hopkins attracts faculty on leave in the field. Consequently, nine non-Japanese also have taken up residence in the Department of Mathematics during the three-month period. The program is organized by J. Michael Boardman, Don Davis, Jean-Pierre Meyer, Jack Morava, Goro Nishida, W. Stephen Wilson and Nobuaki Yagita with grants from the National Science Foundation and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
