Australian Academy of Science Science education Interview with Professor Cheryl Praeger Contents Quite mixed forebears Country mouse to would-be city mathematician Honours studies and an undergraduate achievement To Oxford, the long way round ... A wonderful tutorial after 16 years Professor Cheryl Praeger, mathematician, was interviewed in 1999 for the Australian Academy of Science's '100 Years of Australian Science' project funded by the National Council for the Centenary of Federation. This project is part of the Interviews with Australian scientists program. The interview was conducted by Professor Bernhard Neumann . Here is an edited transcript. You can order the videotape from us for $65.50 (including GST). List of edited transcripts Quite mixed forebears Cheryl, I would like to start with your ancestry. Your forebears were from Chemnitz, in East Germany, and from Ireland. Do you know anything about them? I do know a little bit about my forebears. The last three generations have all been born in Australia, including all of my grandparents. It took me a long time to find out just where the Praeger side came from, because although I had a letter between my Dad’s brother, Uncle Doug, and his cousin in Germany, the town had been renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt after World War II and so I couldn’t find it by looking in current atlases. My forebears from Chemnitz had moved temporarily to Dublin, where I think the husband was in the diplomatic corps. After he died, his wife and family stayed in Dublin for a bit and then moved back. But, according to family legend, the Praegers came out to Queensland from Ireland rather than from Germany.

Solitar Reviewed by Joseph Rotman From about the middle of the 19th century, group theory divided itself into two parts: discrete groups and topological groups. Most research about discrete groups centered around finite groups. However, by the end of the century, finitely generated abelian groups had been classified, and von Dyck had introduced free groups and presentations of groups by generators and relations. Inspired by questions about fundamental groups, Dehn posed the word problem: does every finitely presented group possess an algorithm which can determine whether an arbitrary word on its generators is equal to the identity? For the next fifty years, finite groups continued to be the main focus of research in discrete groups, but some important results about infinite groups were discovered: the Schreier-Neilsen theorem that subgroups of free groups are free, and its generalization by Kurosh that subgroups of free products are themselves free products; the Freiheitssatz of Magnus described the structure of groups with only one defining relation; Ulm classified all countable torsion abelian groups; Baer began the study of torsion-free abelian groups.

Search MAA Online MAA Home DECEMBER 2001 Visible Structures in Number Theory by Peter Borwein and Loki Jorgenson pborwein@cecm.sfu.ca Until very recently, mathematical pictures consisted almost entirely of black and white graphs in two or three dimensions. There is the potential, in modern computational environments, to completely change this. A visualization is most interesting when it reveals new and unexpected structure; when it makes complicated phenomena transparent; or when it suggests the right method of proof. This paper, primarily through examples of phenomena chosen from some fairly elementary problems in number theory, aims to support these claims. How to Differentiate and Integrate Sequences by Donald R. Chalice chalice@cc.wwu.edu The main purpose of this article is to show how to use one’s calculus/differential equations intuition to solve certain discrete differential equations. We do this by first developing “discrete calculus” and along the way, we easily obtain closed formulas for sums such as k+k2+•••+km, and discrete analogues of Taylor’s formula and the Chain Rule (involving moving averages). Discrete “integrating factors” allow us to express the solutions of certain discrete differential equations naturally as convolutions. We can interpret these solutions as the convolution of the “impulse response” with the “driving sequence”. This has an analog in differential equations: The driven harmonic oscillator whose solution is the convolution of the “impulse response” with the driver. Our main point is to show how to use discrete calculus to solve certain discrete differential equations, whose solutions are usually found by guessing and induction.

Glass Cambridge, UK Coauthors: Vincenzo Marra Graham Higman proved that a finitely generated group can be embedded in a finitely presented group iff it has a recursively enumerable set of defining relations. We consider the analogue for lattice-ordered groups. Clearly, the finitely generated lattice-ordered groups that can be l-embedded in finitely presented lattice-ordered groups must have recursively enumerable sets of defining relations. We prove the converse direction for a special class of lattice-ordered groups: The technique is an amalgamation of three disparate areas: (1) continued fractions, (2) recent advances in direct limits of Abelian lattice-ordered groups, and (3) using permutation groups to encode the necessary information (a technique whose origins can be found in work of Ralph McKenzie and Richard Thompson).

Peter Shor's discovery of an algorithm that enables a quantum computer to factor large integers in polynomial time attracted the attention of computer scientists, physicists, and mathematicians. Although experts still debate when and if this algorithm might threaten the security of encryption schemes based on the difficulty of factoring, Shor's breakthrough has stimulated research in many directions. As is often the case with new technology, it has generated interesting mathematical problems whose solution employs mathematical tools and concepts developed long before the idea of quantum computation was first proposed in the early 1980's.

She then worked as a researcher first at Oxford and then at the Australian National Univeristy in Canberra, studying infinite group theory. On returning to the UK, Dr Scott joined Professor Ursula Martin's group at Royal Holloway. After a brief period at St Andrews University, Dr Scott returned to Royal Holloway and is now a senior lecturer in Computer Science. Dr Scott's current research interests lie in Theoretical Computer Science, particularly in language design and compiler theory. Her recent work centres on the formal properties of, and applicability of, generalised parsing. There has been a resurgence of interest in general parsing techniques because modern computer hardware is sufficiently powerful to enable such techniques to be used. Together with Adrian Johnstone , Dr Scott has developed correct, efficient algorithms for parsing general context free languages, extending Tomita's epsilon-free algorithm to include epsilon rules and Aycock and Horspool's algorithm to grammars with hidden left recursion. She is currently investigating their application to computer language parsing; compiler code generation; reverse compilation and bioinformatics, as well as the traditional domain of natural language parsing.

DEATHS Contents Gert Kjaergaard Pedersen Harold Stanley Arthur Potter Walter Feit LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY GERT KJAERGAARD PEDERSEN Professor Gert Kjaergaard Pedersen, who was elected a member of the London Mathematical Society on 17 October 1986, died on 15 March 2004 aged 63. He was born in 1940 in Denmark, and graduated from the high school Skt. Annae Gymnasium (which specialises in music) in 1958. In 1964 he obtained the degree of Mag. Scient from University of Copenhagen, and he became Dr. Phil. in 1972. He was appointed associate Professor at the University of Copenhagen in 1968, and from 1975, at the age of 35 years, until his much too early death he served there as full Professor. Professor Pedersen worked on operator algebras, and started his productive career by solving two problems from a famous list of 20 problems posed by Kadison in 1967. He had a large network of co-workers, and was a popular and frequently sought-after speaker at international conferences. His bibliography counts more than 100 items including two much cited and often-used monographs. Back to Top HAROLD STANLEY ARTHUR POTTER Back to Top WALTER FEIT Walter Feit, who was the Society’s Hardy Lecturer in 1993, died in New Haven on 29 July 2004, aged 73. He is best known for his joint work with John Thompson, in particular the proof of the solubility of finite groups of odd order; his paper with Graham Higman too, on the nonexistence of certain generalised polygons, formed an important step in the early stages of the classification of finite simple groups. However, it is the character theory in the odd order paper, extending ideas first used in his earlier work on Zassenhaus groups, that was his greatest tour de force.
