Amalie Noether, Emily Noether, Amelie Noether Born in Germany and named Amalie Emmy Noether, she was known as Emmy. Her father was a mathematics professor at the University of Erlangen and her mother was from a wealthy family. Emmy Noether studied arithmetic and languages but was not permitted as a girl to enroll in the college preparatory school, the gymnasium. Her graduation qualified her to teach French and English in girls' schools, apparently her career intention but then she changed her mind and decided she wanted to study mathematics at the university level. To enroll in a university, she had to get permission of the professors to take an entrance exam she did and she passed, after sitting in on mathematics lectures at the University of Erlangen. She was then allowed to audit courses first at the University of Erlangen and then the University of G

    Extractions: (endorsed by the Executive Committee of the IMU on April 12, 2002) Almost every mathematics department or research institute has a homepage that provides basic information about people and activities in the department. In order to be useful to those outside, the homepage should have an easily recognizable, clear, and intuitive structure. Unfortunately, while many of the current homepages are beautifully designed, they differ dramatically in both structure and content. The IMU wants to improve this situation and help users to find high-quality mathematical information. The Math-Net Page for departments or research institutes provides a way to standardize the presentation of basic information about the department. The Math-Net Page is not meant to replace a nicely designed homepage, but rather to serve as a "secondary homepage" with a uniform and intuitive structure. The uniform structure allows users to find information easily and reliably. Based on the recommendation of its Committee on Electronic Information and Communication, IMU asks every mathematics institution throughout the world to create a

WELLESLEY COLLEGE MATH CLASS From ancient times, mathematicians had studied regular solids like the tetrahedron, the cube, and the octahedron. In the 1850s, the Swiss mathematician Ludwig Schläfli described the six regular figures, or polytopes, that can exist in four-dimensional space. In 1880, W. I. Stringham, a fellow at Johns Hopkins University, wrote his Ph.D. dissertation on these figures.

December 1 Allen, Woody (1935-,American film director, writer,actor): Standard mathematics has recently been rendered obsolete by the discovery that for years we have been writing the numeral five backward. This has led to reevaluation of counting as a method of getting from one to ten. Students are taught advanced concepts of Boolean algebra, and formerly unsolvable equations are dealt with by threats of reprisals.

Machiavelli was a very intelligent top civil servant in Florence (until he got dismissed) who tried to be a realistic political philosopher by studying what politicians and other political leaders do, rather than by believing their words. He is known as a cynic, which was very probably not true, and The Discourses probably give more of his real opinions than The Prince (which was an attempt to get into the favors of a Medici princeling). There is an edition of The Prince with my comments on my site. Montaigne : The Essays. These are three volumes of essays by a 16th Century Frenchman, dedicated to the question of what one really knows - "Que sais je?" in Montaigne's words: "What do I know?". They are very well-written, quite skeptical, and interesting for many reasons, among which is Montaigne's interest in what is now know as anthropological evidence: Information about the habits, ideas and ways of life of so-called "primitive peoples". There are many editions and translations, and the English one I like best is a rendering of John Florio's translation from the early 17th Century in "

    Extractions: Mathematics History Prehistoric human beings probably learned to count at least up to ten on their fingers. The Chinese, Hindus, Babylonians, and Egyptians all devised methods of counting and measuring that were of practical importance in their everyday lives. The first theoretical mathematician is held to be Thales of Miletus (c. 580 BC) who is believed to have proposed the first theorems in plane geometry. His disciple Pythagoras established geometry as a recognized science among the Greeks. The later school of Alexandrian geometers (4th and 3rd centuries BC) included Euclid and Archimedes. Our present decimal numerals are based on a Hindu-Arabic system that reached Europe about AD 100 from Arab mathematicians of the Middle East such as Khwarizmi.
