April 19, 2000 VISUALIZATION LEADS TO SOLVING MATH PROBLEMS AT SFU CONFERENCE Visualization is a technique often associated with personal problem solving. But many mathematicians say it is just as crucial in their work. The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences' (PIMS) will explore this connection in its third annual conference Changing the Culture 2000-Visualizing Mathematics on Friday, April 28, at Simon Fraser University's Harbour Centre campus. "The ability to visualize the interaction of lines, shapes and solids is key to understanding and solving complex mathematical problems, especially in geometry. It is also a basis for seeing with your mind's eye more abstract mathematical concepts," notes Malgorzata Dubiel, a lab instructor in SFU's department of mathematics and statistics and the conference's main organizer. Sponsored by PIMS' five founding universities, including SFU, the conference will demonstrate the importance of incorporating visualization techniques in teaching mathematics at all levels of education and in mathematics research. Highlighting the conference will be a public lecture by Donald Coxeter, a master geometer who has written a dozen books and published more than 160 articles on the subject. The professor emeritus of the University of Toronto's math department is famous for his investigtion of regular polytopes-the process of stretching

Photographers, who don't usually show up at math conferences, attended this one in late July to get pictures of Ferenc Madl, the Hungarian president, making a rare public appearance. The head of state, however, had to share the stage. The legendary Donald Coxeter, a 95-year-old professor emeritus from the math department at the University of Toronto and member of London's Royal Society, was delivering a paper to kick off the event. And no one, not even the paparazzi, could take their eyes off him: with his birdlike profile and receding halo of white hair, he inched his way toward the lectern, leaning only slightly on his cane. Wearing a three-piece suit and a gold turtle brooch pinned to his lapel (an acknowledgement of his turtlelike pace), he looked more like an Edwardian gentleman than a mastermind professor.

Coxeter, University of Toronto April 28, 2000 5:00 PM Watch lecture now using the Real Player software. A few transparencies have been scanned to accompany this streaming video. They appear at approximately: after the start. Abstract: While the public lecture by H.S.M. Coxeter will touch on various mathematical aspects of M.C. Escher's art, its centre-piece is likely to be an examination of Escher's circular woodcuts. The following is Coxeter's introduction (with two minor verbal substitutions for mathematical notation) to a paper which appeared in the Mathematical Intelligencer , No.4, 1966. Born 9 Feb 1907 in London, England, Donald Coxeter is always known as Donald which comes from his third name MacDonald. This needs a little explanation. He was first given the name MacDonald Scott Coxeter, but a godparent suggested that his father's name should be added, so Harold was added at the front. Another relative noted that H M S Coxeter made him sound like a ship. A permutation of the names resulted in Harold Scott MacDonald Coxeter. Donald was educated at the University of Cambridge, receiving his B.A. in 1929. He continued to study for a doctorate at Cambridge under H F Baker, and this was awarded in 1931. He then became a Fellow continuing his researches at Cambridge. During this period he spent two years as a research visitor at Princeton University.

Important components of these conferences, apart from formal presentations, are gallery displays of visual art, working sessions with practitioners and artists who are crossing the mathematics-arts boundaries, and evening musical/theatrical events. This year the conference will be extended by an additional day in which we will celebrate the life and mathematics-arts connections of the great Canadian geometer H.S.M. (Donald) Coxeter, who passed away in early 2003. Renaissance Banff matches the spirit in which Coxeter viewed his life and his mathematics. It is particularly fortunate that the Canadian Mathematical Society will bring a national perspective to the conference by its participation and support of the Coxeter Day.

home about the CMS media releases search ... other societies Donald Coxeter (1907 - 2003) It is with deep regret that I announce that Donald Coxeter passed away Monday evening [March 31, 2003]. Donald joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of Toronto in 1936 and he spent the next 67 years actively engaged at the University. He was the soul and spirit and the most active member of the geometry seminar. Donald had been described by many as the greatest living geometer. Undoubtedly the world's best known geometer, Professor Coxeter has made contributions of fundamental importance to the Theory of Polytopes, Non-Euclidean geometry, Discrete Groups, and Combinatorial Theory. He is best known for his introduction of what are now referred to as Coxeter groups. His name is attached to a number of mathematical concepts including the Coxeter diagram, Coxeter complex, Coxeter element, Coxeter graph, Coxeter number, and Coxeter system. Donald was a most prolific writer. He had over 200 publications including several books. His work was influential not only in geometry but also in many other branches of mathematics. Donald cherished the connection to music and arts. He was intimately involved in Escher's work. Donald was widely recognized and honoured. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1947), Fellow of the Royal Society, London (1950), and Companion of the Order of Canada (1997). He holds a number of honorary degrees.

Join Our Mailing List CANDID SCIENCE V Conversations with Famous Scientists by Balazs Hargittai (Saint Francis University, Loretto, Pennsylvania) (Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary) Candid Science V: Conversations with Famous Scientists contains 36 interviews with well-known scientists, including 19 Nobel laureates, Wolf Prize winners, and other luminaries. These in-depth conversations provide a glimpse into the greatest achievements in science during the past few decades, featuring stories of the discoveries, and showing the human drama behind them. The greatest scientists are brought into close human proximity as if readers were having a conversation with them. This volume departs from the previous ones in that it contains interviews with mathematicians in addition to physicists, chemists, and biomedical scientists. Another peculiarity of this volume is that it includes nine interviews from another project, the collection of the late Clarence Larson, former Commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission and his wife, Jane (“Larson Tapes”). The 36 interviewees include famous personalities of our time, such as Donald Coxeter, John Conway, Roger Penrose, Alan Mackay, Dan Shechtman, Charles Townes, Arthur Schawlow, Leon Cooper, Alexei Abrikosov, Luis Alvarez, William Pickering, William Fowler, Vera Rubin, Neta Bahcall, Rudolf Peierls, Emilio Segrè, Harold Agnew, Clarence Larson, Nelson Leonard, Princess Chulabhorn, Linus Pauling, Miklós Bodánszky, Melvin Calvin, Donald Huffman, Alan MacDiarmid, Alan Heeger, Jens Christian Skou, Paul Lauterbur, Gunther Stent, John Sulston, Renato Dulbecco, Baruch Blumberg, Arvid Carlsson, Oleh Hornykiewicz, Paul Greengard, and Eric Kandel.
