Search MAA Online MAA Home DECEMBER 2001 Visible Structures in Number Theory by Peter Borwein and Loki Jorgenson pborwein@cecm.sfu.ca Until very recently, mathematical pictures consisted almost entirely of black and white graphs in two or three dimensions. There is the potential, in modern computational environments, to completely change this. A visualization is most interesting when it reveals new and unexpected structure; when it makes complicated phenomena transparent; or when it suggests the right method of proof. This paper, primarily through examples of phenomena chosen from some fairly elementary problems in number theory, aims to support these claims. How to Differentiate and Integrate Sequences by Donald R. Chalice chalice@cc.wwu.edu The main purpose of this article is to show how to use one’s calculus/differential equations intuition to solve certain discrete differential equations. We do this by first developing “discrete calculus” and along the way, we easily obtain closed formulas for sums such as k+k2+•••+km, and discrete analogues of Taylor’s formula and the Chain Rule (involving moving averages). Discrete “integrating factors” allow us to express the solutions of certain discrete differential equations naturally as convolutions. We can interpret these solutions as the convolution of the “impulse response” with the “driving sequence”. This has an analog in differential equations: The driven harmonic oscillator whose solution is the convolution of the “impulse response” with the driver. Our main point is to show how to use discrete calculus to solve certain discrete differential equations, whose solutions are usually found by guessing and induction.

Harald Bohr correspondence The destiny of Harald Bohr's correspondence List of major correspondents (more than 1 letter) List of minor correspondents The destiny of Harald Bohr's correspondence The few letters in the Harald Bohr Papers in Copenhagen is a very tiny fraction of the large amount of letters to and from Bohr which once existed. According to Bohr's son, Ole Bohr, Bohr kept the letters he received and organized them well until April 1940 where he destroyed most of them shortly after the German invasion of Denmark. He did that because he was anxious that the Germans should seize on his correspondence and misuse its information about German mathematicians, whom Bohr had helped to leave Germany. According to Asger Aaboe (Yale University), who has had contact with the surviving relatives, the left over of Bohr's collection of correspondence (among other things his correspondence with Godfrey H. Hardy) was kept by Bohr's wife Ulla Bohr for many years, but destroyed by her in the 1970s. There is probably no more correspondence kept by the surviving relatives, at least not any scientific correspondence, and the only part of Bohr's own collection of correspondence which has survived are the letters in the Harald Bohr Papers and some family correspondence (mainly letters to and from his brother Niels) kept in the Family correspondence at the Niels Bohr Archive Hence, the major part of the correspondence listed below is located in other collections. The correspondents are divided in two groups. The first group, which is given alphabetical in a table with links to more details, consists of correspondents where more than one letter to or from Bohr has been conserved. The second group consists of all the minor correspondents where only one letter to or from Bohr has been conserved.

She had grown up in the District of Columbia and attended college at the George Washington University, next to the White House. She had been willing to sit out the war unless she found a job that made "sufficient use of her mathematical talent." [3] She rejected nine offers before accepting the computing job with the ordnance department. Her first assignment was to prepare a new range table for field artillery. She eventually became Moulton's assistant and the leader of the office computers. Public Roles. The ballistics staff began to disperse before many suspected that the end of the war was at hand. In September 1918, the mathematicians started to leave military service. Some returned to their universities. Others, including Norbert Wiener, enlisted in the army in hope of going to the front. Even with these departures, the mathematical staff were starting new problems when the war ended on November 11. Most of the proving ground had little warning that the Germans were close to surrender. Nonetheless, the army moved quickly stop production. In the days that followed the armistice, they telegraphed stop work orders to munitions factories. They made plans to stockpile weapons at Aberdeen. They terminated research projects, reduced experimental firings, and brought the work to a close.

Courant's Cheeger receives 2001 AMS Oswald Veblen Prize November 27, 2001 Professor Jeff Cheeger of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University has been awarded the Oswald Veblen Prize of the American Mathematical Society for 2001. He shares the prize with Professor Yakov Eliashberg of Stanford University and Professor Michael Hopkins of MIT. The Veblen Prize, which is given once every five years, is the most prestigious award in recognition of outstanding research in geometry. Cheeger was honored for his work in differential geometry, the area of mathematics, which studies the geometry of smooth objects in higher dimensions. Cheeger has pioneered the extension of the subject to situations in which rather than being everywhere smooth, the objects develop singularities. Specifically, he was cited for his work on the space of metrics with Ricci curvature bounded below, which led to the resolution of various conjectures in Riemannian geometry and provided significant understanding of how singularities form in the degeneration of Einstein metrics on Riemannian manifolds, and for his works on eta invariants and index theory. Cheeger has been at the Courant Institute since 1989. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Foreign Member of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters. He has twice given invited addresses at the International Congress of Mathematicians, 1974, 1986. In addition, he has presented many series of endowed lectures, such as the Marston Morse Lectures at the Institute for Advanced Study in 1992, and, most recently, this year's Fermi Lectures at the Scuola Normale in Pisa, Italy.

Muhammed idn Musa Al-Khwarizmi Archimedes of Syracuse Charles Babbage Bernoulli ... Hsien Chung Wang Muhammed idn Musa Al-Khwarizmi Muhammed was born in 780 A.D. and died in 850 A.D. He was an Arabic mathematician who introduced the Hindu decimal system and the use of zero into Arabic mathematics. He also extended the work of Diophantis on algebraic equations in a book, the title which included the word al-jabr (transposition) from which the modern word algebra is derived. I chose this mathematician because he sounded interesting, and important to the world of mathematics. Jennifer, 1996 Archimedes of Syracuse Although no one knows for sure, people speculate that Archimedes was born sometime around 287 B.C. As a boy he probably attended school in Alexandria, which was the center of Greek learning. After school Archimedes went to live in Syracuse, Sicily, which was then a Greek colony. Here he did much work for the king, Hiero. Archimedes made many discoveries in Math and Physics. One of his mathematical advances was with pi. Archimedes found a way to determine a more exact value of pi. He showed the value of pi was somewhere between 3 1/7 and 3 10/71. This discovery made it possible to solve many problems relating to the area of a circle and the volume of cylinders. Another invention was that of a new type of numeration system. Archimedes' new system worked much better with large numbers than the Roman and Greek systems.

INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY CELEBRATES 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS FOUNDING “I was working quietly one day when the telephone rang and I was asked to see two gentlemen who wished to discuss with me the possible uses to which a considerable sum of money might be placed. At our interview I informed them that my competency was limited to the education field and that in this field it seemed to me that the time was ripe for the creation in America of an institute in the field of general scholarship and science ... not a graduate school, training men in the known and to some extent in methods of research, but an institute where everyone—Faculty and Members—took for granted what was known and published, and in their individual ways endeavored to advance the frontiers of knowledge.” Thus the Institute for Advanced Study’s founding Director, Abraham Flexner, later recalled the 1929 meeting that would result in the creation of a unique institution, designed solely to encourage and support fundamental scholarship.
