From: New York University NYU Professor Becomes First Woman To Win National Medal Of Science ForMathematics Cathleen Synge Morawetz Is First Woman To Receive Medal For Work In Mathematics Her Research On Partial Differential Equations Helped Engineers Build Better Airplane Wings On Tuesday, December 8th, President Clinton named New York University professor emerita Cathleen Synge Morawetz the recipient of the National Medal of Science for mathematics. Morawetz a former director of NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences is the first woman to receive the medal for mathematics. The medal recognizes her pioneering advances in partial differential equations and wave propagation resulting in applications to aerodynamics, acoustics and optics. Morawetz is the sixth NYU faculty member to receive the National Medal of Science. Morawetz' work has been particularly influential on engineers' efforts to design airplane wings that minimize the impact of shock waves. In the late 1950s, she demonstrated that shock waves are inevitable if a plane moves fast enough, no matter how the wings are designed. As a result of this work, engineers now focus on minimizing rather than eliminating shock waves. Morawetz also contributed fundamentally to the mathematical theory of scattering. This subject describes how waves interact with obstacles. It provides the framework for analyzing many techniques for remote sensing, including ultrasound and radar.

From: National Science Foundation National Science Medalists Named President Clinton today named nine of the nation's most renowned scientific researchers to receive the National Medal of Science, citing them for "their creativity, resolve, and a restless spirit of innovation to ensure continued U.S. leadership across the frontiers of scientific knowledge." The individuals awarded the nation's highest scientific honor have had wide-ranging impact on social policy, cancer research, materials science, and greatly extended knowledge of our Earth and the solar systems. Their theoretical achievements also led to many practical applications. "These are superstars in their respective fields," Rita Colwell, director of the National Science Foundation (NSF), said. "They've contributed a lifetime of stunning discoveries. We can only recognize them once with a science medal, but we applaud them daily for their continual contributions to humankind, to the reservoir of scientific knowledge and for the impact they have on the students they mentor and educate along the way." William Julius Wilson, a professor of social policy at Harvard University's JFK School of Government, is one of this year's awardees. He is noted for influencing a generation of social scientists through his studies and published works in urban poverty and its causes.

Cromie Gazette Staff William Julius Wilson. Photo by Martha Stewart. George Whitesides. Photo by Jane Reed. The National Medal of Science, the highest scientific honor in the United States, has been awarded to George Whitesides, Mallinckrodt Professor of Chemistry, and William Julius Wilson, Lewis F. and Linda L. Geyser University Professor. On Tuesday, President Clinton cited Whitesides, Wilson, and seven other honorees for "their creativity, resolve, and a restless spirit of innovation to ensure continued U.S. leadership across the frontiers of scientific knowledge." Rita Colwell, director of the National Science Foundation, noted that the Medal is the "U.S. equivalent of the Nobel Prize [and] our nation's singular way of commending these groundbreaking researchers for their efforts." Whitesides won for a lifetime of discoveries in several fields of chemistry and for highly acclaimed advances in the assembly of ultra-small physical structures. He gave credit and congratulations to the people he works with. "A good thing about being research director in a big experimental group," Whitesides said, "is that there is never any possibility of having one's head turned by awards: it is so clear that it is the group that collectively generates the ideas and does the work. It is equally clear that the group collectively gets the credit."

Display Pages Archimedes Infinite Secrets homepage Archimedes (c. 287-212 B.C.) made many contributions to the field of mathematics. He calculated a good approximation for pi, the constant used to find the area of a circle. He calculated the volume of a sphere, found approximate values of square roots, and invented a system for expressing large numbers. He also invented many different types of machines. He is regarded by many as the greatest mathematician and scientist of antiquity. What do modern-day mathematicians study? David Harold Blackwell Game theory is a type of math used to study how groups of people interact. It can be applied to games, economics, or military decisions. American mathematician David Harold Blackwell developed a proof in game theory that connected the mathematical fields of game theory and topology. Cathleen Synge Morawetz Mathematics is often called the language of science. Canadian mathematician Cathleen Synge Morawetz used math to study the flow of air over an airplane wing. Later in her career, she studied sound waves and shock waves, again using math to describe scientific phenomena. Andrew Wiles Mathematicians sometimes work to solve long-standing math problems. British mathematician Andrew Wiles worked for seven years to solve Fermat's Last Theorem, which had eluded mathematicians for more than three centuries. Wiles doesn't believe that Fermat himself ever had a proof for the theorem.

Women in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Lenore Blum Marjorie Lee Browne Fan Chung Ingrid Daubechies ... Sharon Alden Lenore Blum Lenore Blum, now a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, was one of the pioneers of math programs for women. In 1976, she helped begin Expanding Your Horizons , a series of one-day, hands-on math workshops for middle-school girls. They are now held across the country. In 1991, she helped start one of the first math programs for female undergraduates, the Summer Mathematics Institute, which moved from Mills College to the University of California at Berkeley in 1994 and ended in 1997. All of those programs work, says Ms. Blum. "We've known what to do for 30 years," she says, ticking off the key features: "Getting a critical mass of girls or women together to do math, making math a positive experience, and having networking and mentorship." But even successful programs come and go, depending on the federal government's willingness to sponsor them. "There hasn't been sustained funding,"
