Barran Fields Medal The Fields Medals are commonly regarded as mathematics' closest analog to the Nobel Prize (which does not exist in mathematics), and are awarded every four years by the International Mathematical Union to one or more outstanding researchers. "Fields Medals" are more properly known by their official name, "International medals for outstanding discoveries in mathematics." The Field Medals were first proposed at the 1924 International Congress of Mathematicians in Toronto, where a resolution was adopted stating that at each subsequent conference, two gold medals should be awarded to recognize outstanding mathematical achievement. Professor J. C. Fields, a Canadian mathematician who was secretary of the 1924 Congress, later donated funds establishing the medals which were named in his honor. Consistent with Fields' wish that the awards recognize both existing work and the promise of future achievement, it was agreed to restrict the medals to mathematicians not over forty at the year of the Congress. In 1966 it was agreed that, in light of the great expansion of mathematical research, up to four medals could be awarded at each Congress. The Fields Medal is the highest scientific award for mathematicians, and is presented every four years at the International Congress of Mathematicians, together with a prize of 15000 Canadian dollars. The first Fields Medal was awarded in 1936 at the World Congress in Oslo. The Fields Medal is made of gold, and shows the head of

Born 23 Feb 1951
Japanese mathematician who has made important contributions to the field of algebraic geometry. His major work, in which he proved the existence of minimal models for all three-dimensional algebraic varieties (Jan 1988), has been dubbed Mori's Program. Within ten years since his first published paper, Mori had thereby completed what many said could never be done. In 1979, Mori published his first major results, a proof of the Hartshorne conjecture, which stated that a certain class of algebraic varieties are projective in nature. In other words, these varieties or sets of solutions to given polynomial equations could be described using projective geometry. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1990 for his work in algebraic geometry. Allan MacLeod Cormack

Born 23 Feb 1924; died 7 May 1998.
South African-born American physicist who formulated the mathematical algorithms that made possible the development of a powerful new diagnostic technique, the cross-sectional X-ray imaging process known as computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanning. He first described this in two papers in 1963 and 1964. X-ray tomography is a process by which a picture of an imaginary slice through an object (or the human body) is built up from information from detectors rotating around the body. For this work, he was awarded a share of the 1979 Nobel Prize. Cormack was unusual in the field of Nobel laureates because he never earned a doctorate degree in medicine or any other field of science.

FIELDS MEDALLISTS' LECTURES
edited by Sir Michael Atiyah (Trinity College, Cambridge) (CE-Saclay)
Although the Fields Medal does not have the same public recognition as the Nobel Prizes, they share a similar intellectual standing. It is restricted to one field — that of mathematics — and an age limit of 40 has become an accepted tradition. Mathematics has in the main been interpreted as pure mathematics, and this is not so unreasonable since major contributions in some applied areas can be (and have been) recognized with Nobel Prizes. The restriction to 40 years is of marginal significance, since most mathematicians have made their mark long before this age. A list of Fields Medallists and their contributions provides a bird's eye view of mathematics over the past 60 years. It highlights the areas in which, at various times, greatest progress has been made. This volume does not pretend to be comprehensive, nor is it a historical document. On the other hand, it presents contributions from 22 Fields Medallists and so provides a highly interesting and varied picture. The contributions themselves represent the choice of the individual Medallists. In some cases the articles relate directly to the work for which the Fields Medals were awarded. In other cases new articles have been produced which relate to more current interests of the Medallists. This indicates that while Fields Medallists must be under 40 at the time of the award, their mathematical development goes well past this age. In fact the age limit of 40 was chosen so that young mathematicians would be encouraged in their future work.

Intervista a SHIGEFUMI MORI Piergiorgio Odifreddi
Abbiamo intervistato Mori a Torino il 3 ottobre 2002, in occasione della " laurea honoris causa " assegnatagli dall'Università nel corso delle celebrazioni del cinquantenario della morte di Fano. E' una domanda ufficiale? Se vuole, posso fingere di non sentire. E quando ha deciso che sarebbe diventato un matematico? Ricorda un momento particolare? E come funziona il suo pensiero matematico? Che cosa succede, dunque, nell'immaginazione? No, perchè contengono solo una parte dell'informazione possibile. E' come in economia: c'è un'infinità di possibili indicatori numerici, ma se ne scelgono solo alcuni: il problema è di capire cosa significano. Nel caso dei coni, quando la parte piramidale non c'è si ha quello che si chiama un "modello minimale'', e la classificazione di Enriques e Kodaira delle varietà a due dimensioni è, in essenza, una classificazione dei loro modelli minimali. Come arrivò Kodaira a interessarsi di queste cose "italiane''?

    • When: Thursday, February 24 at 4:00 p.m.
      Where: VWF 104 Tea Time: 3:30 p.m. in VWF 222
    Tomorrow's colloquium speaker is Professor Tom Scofield from Calvin College. He will be talking on "Spiraling Sequences and their Path Lengths."
    He states his problem as follows: We begin with the four corners, (0,0), (1,0), (1,1) and (0,1) of a square in the plane, taken in that order. Then we generate a sequence of points by taking the average of two previous points, those 3 and 4 earlier in the sequence. So, our fifth point is [(0,0) + (1,0)]/2 = (1/2, 0), our 6th is [(1,0) + (1,1)]/2 = (1,1/2), etc. The points thus generated, connected sequentially by line segments, are depicted in the figure to the right.
    It seems that the sequence must tend to a limit. How does one show this? Can we find the coordinates of that limit? Does the path traced out by these points constitute one of finite or infinite length? We will investigate these questions not just for the specific problem stated above, but for similarly-generated sequences starting with an n -gon.
