Topology
[Categories: Academic disciplines, Geometry, Topology]
Topology (A native or inhabitant of Greece) Greek topos , place and logos , study) is a branch of (A science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement) mathematics concerned with the study of ((mathematics) any set of points that satisfy a set of postulates of some kind) topological space s. When the discipline was first introduced it was called analysis situs (Any dialect of the language of ancient Rome) Latin analysis of place
Topology is concerned with the study of the so-called (Click link for more info and facts about topological properties) topological properties of figures, that is to say properties that do not change under bicontinuous one-to-one transformations (called (Click link for more info and facts about homeomorphism) homeomorphism s). Two figures that can be deformed one into the other
are called homeomorphic, and are considered to be the same from
the topological point of view. For example a solid cube and a solid sphere are homeomorphic.
However, it is not possible to deform a sphere into a circle by a

Solomon Lefschetz
Solomon Lefschetz 3 September 5 October ) was a US mathematician who did fundamental work on algebraic topology , its applications to algebraic geometry , and the theory of non-linear ordinary differential equations . He was born in Moscow into a Jewish family (his parents were Turkish citizens) who moved shortly after that to Paris . He was educated there in engineering , but emigrated to the USA in 1905. He was badly injured in an industrial accident in 1907, losing both hands. He moved towards mathematics, receiving a Ph.D. in algebraic geometry from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1911. He then took positions in Nebraska and Kansas, moving to Princeton in 1924, where he was soon given a permanent position. He remained there until 1953. In the application of topology to algebraic geometry, he followed the work of

"My parents, who were residents of York, Pennsylvania, had six sons, I being number two, born January 13, 1876. The only other survivor of the group is Martin Herbert, Chairman of the Board of the Bausch-Lomb Optical Company of Rochester. "My father, after being a student at the York County Academy, taught in a country school until, acting upon the slogan by Horace Greeley—'Go West young man'—he went to Marshall, Michigan, and worked in a store. At the same time, he was apprentice to a local dentist. Being very expert with his hands, he soon acquired competence in the technique of dentistry. In due time he returned to York, set up a dentist office, and was married. He made sufficient income to meet the expenses of his growing family, but his intellect was too active to be satisfied by dentistry. Electricity appealed to him and he organized the Edison Electric Light Company in the early eighties. The telephone also made an appeal. He experimented with telephones and in the late nineties organized the York Telephone Company. Both of these companies are very active today. "Mothers with such a large group of growing children would have felt that to provide for their well-being was enough. Not so with my mother. Not only did she do that to our satisfaction but she took part in our education before we went to school and helped in our 'home work.' In my case the result was that at the age of six years and five months I entered school and passed through the lower grades in three years instead of the normal six.

The Short Story
Luther Eisenhart took over in Fine's place during the key decade of the 1930s which brought Einstein to Princeton and saw the formation of the Institute for Advanced Studies which was housed in Fine Hall during the 6 years (1933-1939) of the construction of its own Fuld Hall facility. Eisenhart was also a leader: chairman of the mathematics department (1929-45), Dean of the Faculty (1925-1933), and Dean of the Graduate School (1933-45). As a specialist in differential geometry, he was also keenly interested in general relativity. Fine, Eisenhart and Veblen were also past presidents of the American Mathematical Society This oral history project, The Princeton Mathematics Community in the 1930s: An Oral History Project , grew out of the interest of Albert Tucker (1905-1995), who succeeded Lefschetz as department chair (1953-1963), in turn succeeded by a Princeton bred mathematician John Milnor (1963-19). After his retirement (1974), Tucker wanted someone to record the history of that remarkable mathematical community of the 1930s, but in the end, he had to take matters into his own hands. Together with historian of science William Aspray and the help of another Princetonian Charles Gillispie, editor of

Review of Algebra
Editorial review
This book presents modern algebra from first principles and is accessible to undergraduates or graduates. It combines standard materials and necessary algebraic manipulations with general concepts that clarify meaning and importance. This conceptual approach to algebra starts with a description of algebraic structures by means of axioms chosen to suit the examples, for instance, axioms for groups, rings, fields, lattices, and vector spaces. This axiomatic approach-emphasized by Hilbert and developed in Germany by Noether, Artin, Van der Waerden, et al., in the 1920s-was popularized for the graduate level in the 1940s and 1950s to some degree by the authors' publication of A Survey of Modern Algebra. The present book presents the developments from that time to the first printing of this book. This third edition includes corrections made by the authors for this printing.

Graduate Math at Princeton in the 1940s
from Sylvia Nasar's magnificent biography of John Nash. Sylvia Nasar (1998), A Beautiful Mind: A Biography of John Forbes Nash, Jr. (New York: Simon and Schuster: 0684853701). pp. 58-60: On [John] Nash's second afternoon in Princeton, Solomon Lefschetz rounded up the first-year graduate students in the West Common Room. He was there to tell them the facts of life, he said, in his French accent, fixing them with his fierce gaze. And for an hour Lefschetz glared, shouted, and pounded the table with his gloved, wooden hands, delivering something between a biblical sermon and a drill sergeant's diatribe. They were the best, the very best. Each of them had been carefully hand-picked, like a diamond from a heap of coal. But this was Princeton, where real mathematicians did real mathematics. Compared to these men, the newcomers were babies, ignorant, pathetic babies, and Princeton was going to make them grow up, damn it! Entrepreneurial and energetic, Lefschetz was the supercharged human locomotive that had pulled the Princeton department out of genteel mediocrity right to the top. He recruited mathematicians with only one criterion in mind: research. His high-handed and idiosyncratic editorial policies made the
