43. HUGO STEINHAUS (1987 - 1972) And His Contribution To The Applied Mathematics hugo steinhaus (1987 1972) and his contribution to the applied mathematics. http://www.it.lut.fi/mat/EcmiNL/ecmi33/arti.html

HUGO STEINHAUS (1987 - 1972) and his contribution to the applied mathematics Plato i Archita (Plato and Archytas) - a verse by the famous Polish poet Cyprian Norwid (1821 - 1883) - recalls the dispute between the two Greek philosophers living on the turn of the 5th century before Christ. In a footnote to Plato's utterance the poet explains: Plato's idealism objected mechanics, just having its birth, considering it (in its original extreme) to be a d e g r a d a t i o n o f c o n t e m p l a t i o n. One of the most faithful followers of Archytas was certainly my master Professor Hugo Dionizy Steinhaus. He was born at Jaslo (a small town at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains) on January 14, 1887. At that time Poland did not exist on the maps of Europe and the place belonged to the Austrian Empire. In 1905 he entered Lwów University for studies in philosophy and mathematics. Next year he moved to Göttingen and attended lectures by Hilbert, Klein, Minkowski, Runge, Landau, Carathéodory, Toeplitz and others. In 1911 he took Ph. D. summa cum laude presenting the thesis: Neue Anwendungen des Dirichlet'schen Prinzips.

EWD 1311 Another look at a problem from Hugo Steinhaus Let a b c d be, in order, the 4 sides of a convex polygon; let a and b meet at an end point of diagonal x , and let y be the other diagonal. If among the 3 edges meeting at a vertex, 1 is shorter than the other 2, that shortest one is marked. We have to show that at least one of the diagonals remains unmarked, i.e. we have to show a x b x c x d x b y c y d y a y The first line expresses that x is unmarked; it is a conjuction of 2 conditions, 1 for each of its end points. The second line similarly covers y . Please note that in demonstrandum , each diagonal is compared with each side of our polygon. To connect lengths of sides and diagonals with the convexity, we appeal to the Theorem In a convex quadrilateral, the sum of the lengths of the diagonals is at least the sum of the lengths of two opposite sides. (This theorem can be proved by appealing twice to the triangular inequality and using that convexity means that the diagonals intersect each other between their end points.) We propose to show that follows from a c x y b d x y As you see, we have not chosen a pair of opposite sides, we have taken them both, mainly because the 4 sides all occur in

Steinhaus Graphs - A Description The following is an example of a steinhaus graph of six vertices. History of Steinhaus Graphs Steinhaus Graphs are named for Hugo Steinhaus who asked if there are Steinhaus triangles containing the same number of 0's ans 1's. A Steinhaus triangle is the upper triangular part of a Steinhaus matrix (excluding the the diagonal). John Molluzz o introduced this class of graphs at the third Western Michigan Conference around 1975. He also examined the complements of Steinhaus graphs. All Steinhaus graphs are connected, except for the ones generated by the all zero string, but the complements c an be disconnected. Back to Steinhaus Research Main Page

See our fundraising page The Red Cross and other charities also need your help. Uniform boundedness principle In mathematics , the uniform boundedness principle or Banach-Steinhaus Theorem is one of the fundamental results in functional analysis and, together with the Hahn-Banach theorem and the open mapping theorem , considered one of the cornerstones of the field. In its basic form, it asserts that for a family of continuous linear operators whose domain is a Banach space, pointwise boundedness is equivalent to boundedness. The theorem was first published in by Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus but it was also proven independently by Hans Hahn Contents Uniform boundedness principle Generalization See also References Uniform boundedness principle More precisely, let X be a Banach space and N be a normed vector space .

Cominciate scrivendo una lista di N segni "+" e "-". La quantità e la disposizione dei segni "+" e "-" è a piacere vostro. Continuate scrivendo altre linee rispettivamente di N-1, N-2, ..., 1 segni "+" e "-" con le seguenti regole: sotto una coppia di segni uguali scrivete un "+"; sotto una coppia di segni diversi scrivete un "-"; Ecco un esempio per N=7 Se contate quanti sono i "+" e i "-" scoprirete che ci sono esattamente 14 "+" e 14 "-". Il problema è di decidere per quali N esistono dei triangoli con un uguale numero di "+" e di "-" Altre domande: Qual è il minimo numero di - che possono trovarsi in un triangolo di Steinhaus?

HOME - BASE Cinque Appunti di Matematica ricreativa I bacilli di Hugo Steinhaus Questo problema è tratto dal libro di Steinhaus STO ZADAN, Warschau 1958 Ringrazio Ivana Niccolai per aver inviato questo problema al Forum e segnalato la sua recensione del libro Hugo Steinhaus, "CENTO PROBLEMI DI MATEMATICA ELEMENTARE" , a cura di Franco Conti, Superuniversale Boringhieri, 1987. Il dottor Abracadabrus ha scoperto un tipo di batteri a forma di bastoncino che si riproducono in uno strano modo. Dal bacillo originario si stacca una parte che diventa un bacillo indipendente; esso è più corto della parte restante, cosicché vi sono due individui di diverse lunghezze. A questo punto dal bacillo più lungo si stacca un nuovo individuo uguale al più corto dei due, e il processo continua finché il residuo del bacillo originario è più corto di ogni parte staccata. Successivamente da uno dei bacilli più lunghi si stacca una parte lunga quanto il più piccolo dei bacilli già esistenti. Questa regola è sufficiente a descrivere l'intero processo di moltiplicazione, ma dobbiamo ricordare che ad ogni istante vi è al più un solo bacillo che si divide. Dimostrare che: 1) In ogni istante, nella colonia dei bacilli, ci sono al più tre lunghezze diverse.

The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections By Stewart T. Coffin Home Contents Figures Search ... Help Chapter 3 - Cubic Block Puzzles The 3 x 3 x 3 Cube Next Page Prev Page Next Chapter Prev Chapter The earliest reference to 3 x 3 x 3 cubic block puzzles may be one shown in the classic Puzzles Old and New by Professor Hoffmann (Angelo Lewis), published in London in 1893, and not to be confused with the recent Botermans and Slocum book of the same name . It shows a puzzle called the Diabolical Cube , which is rather a misnomer as it is one of the easier puzzles of its type. The six pieces, illustrated in Fig. 48, assemble into a 3 x 3 x 3 cube 13 different ways. Since all of the pieces in this puzzle have reflexive symmetry, it necessarily follows that every solution must either be self-reflexive or be one of a reflexive pair. It is customary not to count these reflexive pairs as two different solutions. This particular version of what has now become a very common type of puzzle is unusual in that all of the pieces are flat and contain different numbers of cubes increasing in arithmetic progression.
