at 7:30 pm In this talk we will solve the problem posed in the title, one first solved by Louis Mordell in the 1960's. More interesting than the question itself, perhaps, is the method of solution, which serves to introduce the beautiful subject of elliptic curves. This is a field of lively current research interest and the gateway to techniques used in the recent acclaimed proof of Fermat's Last Theorem and to problems of cryptogtraphy. Ed Schaefer earned his Ph.D. from U. C. Berkeley in 1992 and has been at Santa Clara University ever since. His main research interests are arithmetic geometry and cryptography. Arithmetic geometry uses geometry to solve problems from number theory, as we'll see in the talk. This summer he lectured on arithmetic geometry in Peru before being detained by rebels in Bolivia ... he'll be back in time for the talk. How to get to Santa Clara University: From US Highway 101, take the De La Cruz Boulevard/Santa Clara exi t and follow the signs to El Camino and the main campus entrance. | |

Below is an index of names that we made from the above books. The Reference number in the index begins with the code # we assigned to the book the entry came from, and the number after the colon is the page number where the name was found in the book. To look at the book itself, go to your local public library's interlibrary loan department and have them do a nationwide search for the book and request that it be sent to your library for you. If libraries find any of the books to be in too old or bad condition to lend, you can request photocopies via interlibrary loan of the pages you need.
Tips about spellings of names and places
county abbreviations that are shown in parentheses after the Swedish birthplaces.
