Boi et al (eds), 1830-1930: a century of geometry , Springer-Verlag 1992, 98-106 What happened to Riemann’s and Clifford’s geometrical thinking? It was too challenging, at first, to be developed. Only after the elaboration of the ‘safer’ framework of tensor analysis (another development of Riemann’s ideas) could their metric geometry re-emerge. Farwell, Ruth, and Christopher Knee, ‘The missing link: Riemann’s Commentatio , differential geometry and tensor analysis’, Historia mathematica A little-mentioned 1861 paper by Riemann on heat conduction should be seen as a contribution to the development of tensor analysis, rather than as developing the mathematics underlying new conceptions of space.

NOVEMBER 1999 CONTENTS AUTHOR'S NOTEBOOK RELATED SITES Mention the name of alumnus John Mauchly and you're apt to be met with a blank stare. How is it that one of the 20th century's great inventors is now largely forgotten? P U B L I C P O L I C Y A N D I N T E R N A T I O N A L A F F A I R S The Story That Doesn't Compute By Dale Keiger Illustration by Ferruccio Sardella Photos courtesy John W. Mauchly Papers, Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Univ. of Penn. Scott McCartney likes to tell a story, by way of Washington Post writer Bob Levey: A mother in Alexandria, Virginia, was quizzing her 9-year-old son on inventors, and the kid was rolling. He'd named Thomas Edison as deviser of the light bulb, and Eli Whitney as responsible for the cotton gin. Then Mom asked, "Who invented the computer?" The boy thought for a moment, then responded: "Radio Shack." McCartney is a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. A few years ago when he was covering high technology, he realized that no one he knew could give a better answer than that 9-year-old in Virginia. The computer is ubiquitous as a tool, as a driver of economies, as a metaphor. It has been around for little more than 50 years. Yet, says McCartney, "I was shocked that here I was, covering the industry, and I couldn't tell you who had invented the computer." So he decided to dig into the technology's history. What he found was the bittersweet story of John Mauchly, Hopkins PhD 1932. Mauchly and research partner Presper Eckert deserve most of the credit for inventing the modern electronic computer, credit they almost never get. In McCartney's recent book

search: In Memoriam Abraham Haskel Taub Abraham Haskel Taub was born in Chicago on February 1, 1911. After receiving his undergraduate degree in mathematics at the University of Chicago in 1931, he went to Princeton University for his graduate education. At Princeton, his intellectual development was deeply affected by his association with H.P. Robertson, Oswald Veblen, and John von Neumann. These outstanding scientists became his mentors and profoundly influenced the direction of his scientific career. A prolific researcher for six decades, Abe Taub made significant contributions to differential geometry, general relativity and cosmology, applied mathematics (shock waves and relativistic hydrodynamics), and numerical analysis. Taub worked with Robertson on his doctoral thesis in mathematical cosmology and received his PhD in mathematics in 1935. He then moved to the newly established Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, working as a postdoctoral fellow on differential geometry with Veblen. Taub's first published paper, with Veblen in 1934, was on the projective differentiation of spinors. Projective relativity theory had been developed by Veblen, Pauli, and others and was being intensively investigated at the time. The projective theories are essentially equivalent to the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theories. The work of Veblen and Taub was followed six months later by a paper of Taub, Veblen, and von Neumann on the Dirac equation in projective relativity.

93. Veblen - The Person - Marginal Academic When one of his brothers, Andrew, father of the famous mathematician OswaldVeblen, decided to study mathematics at Johns Hopkins, Thorstein accompanied him http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/~lridener/DSS/Veblen/VEBLENP3.HTML

A Marginal Academic After his graduation, Veblen tried his hand teaching at Monona Academy in Madison, Wisconsin, but the atmosphere at this Norwegian school proved as oppressive as that of Carleton. Rent by theological disputes over predestina- tion, election, and strong church authority, subjects totally uncongenial to Veb- len, the school closed permanently at the end of the year. When one of his brothers, Andrew, father of the famous mathematician Oswald Veblen, decided to study mathematics at Johns Hopkins, Thorstein accompanied him to Balti- more, expecting to study philosophy. Thus began what Bernard Rosenberg has called "a torturous apprenticeship in academic maladaptation.'' When Veblen failed to receive a scholarship at Johns Hopkins, he decided to transfer to Yale to study philosophy under its president, the Reverend Noah Porter. At Yale, as almost everywhere else, philosophy was still considered the handmaiden of theology, and Veblen, the agnostic, found himself among divinity students, most of whom were preparing to teach the gospel. As a means of defense, Veblen accentuated his sardonic attitudes and distance-creat- ing techniques, and he cultivated an air of complete aloofness and worldly- wise scepticism. Even those whom he managed to befriend later said that they found him trying, though stimulating. At this time the intellectual atmosphere at Yale was charged by epic battles between its president, Noah Porter, a man still deeply steeped in the pieties of New England transcendentalism, and the sociologist William Graham Sum- ner, who preached the gospel of Herbert Spencer. Sumner relentlessly fought in the name of science and evolution, of Darwin and Spencer, against the theological features of the school. A month before Veblen left Yale, Sumner was victorious and the whole curriculum of Yale was revamped. Science won over religion.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Photo by Bachrach George David Birkhoff By Oswald Veblen G EORGE DAVID BIRKHOFF WAS born at Overisel, Michigan, on the twenty-first of March, 1884. His ancestry was Dutch on both sides. His father, David Birkhoff, came from Holland in 1870, and during George David's growing years was a physician in Chicago. Birkhoff studied at the Lewis Institute, Chicago, from 1896 to 1902, and at the University of Chicago for a year. After this he went to Harvard, where he received the Bachelor's degree in 1905. Beginning in the year 1900 there appeared in the problem department of the American Mathematical Monthly , edited by B. F. Finkel, a series of notes, solutions, and problems by H. S. Vandiver, of Bala, Pennsylvania. In 1901 Birkhoff, who had doubtless found the monthly in the old John Crerar Library, began exchanging letters about various questions in the theory of numbers with Vandiver, who was then nineteen years old. This correspondence resulted in the publication in 1904 of their joint paper in the Annals of Mathematics "On the integral devisors of a n b n ." So far as I know this was Birkhoff's only publication in the theory of numbers, but Vandiver has told me that Birkhoff was in possession in those days of at least one number-theoretical theorem which is now counted among the notable contributions of a distinguished mathematician in another part of the world. In later life Birkhoff often showed an interest in number theory, but seems never to have taken the deep plunge which would have been necessary in order to bring up new results of the sort that would have satisfied him. It was not until his Princeton period that he met Vandiver personally.
