Extractions: Version for printing Piers Bohl 's father was a merchant and his background was not an academic one. He first studied at Walka, then he went to the German school in Viljandi in Estonia. In 1884 Bohl remained in Estonia, entering the Department of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Dorpat. He graduated in 1887 with a degree in mathematics having won a Gold Medal for an essay he wrote on The Theory of Invariants of Linear Differential Equations in 1886. In 1893 Bohl was awarded his Master's degree. This was for an investigation of quasi-periodic functions. Although Bohl was the first to study these functions the name is not due to him but is due to Esclangon who studied them later. Esclangon 's work was in fact completely independent of Bohl's. The notion of quasi-periodic functions was generalised still further by Harald Bohr when he introduced almost periodic functions.

Extractions: Mathematics in Latvia Through the Centuries Daina Taimina , Cornell University Ingrida Henina , University of Latvia ( please send comments to dt34@cornell.edu The very first written documents about the history of Latvia (written in Latvia in the German language) are Henricus Lettus' Chronicles of Livonia. Henricus was a German monk who came with crusaders in the 12th century to bring Christianity to the Baltic lands. In the Chronicles there is nothing about the mathematical knowledge of the ancient Latvians. All we can tell now about their using numbers and calculations is what we find from the oral tradition in ancient Latvian folk songs (dainas) and folk tales, and from archaeological sources. In 1914 Professor J. Zalktis counted which were the most used numbers in ancient Latvian folk songs. The most often used number was 3 (like it is also in many folk traditions), and following 3 in order of frequency 2, 9, 5, 6, 1, 100, 200, 3 times 9 and only then comes the Biblical number 7, which was expected to be used more often. In the Chronicles there was not mentioned that the first school in Riga was founded in 1211, although Chronicles were describing time period from 1186 till 1227. About counting in that time one can judge from amounts of money mentioned there. There is an evidence of geometry in ancient Latvian signs. Circle, square and regular triangle were well known geometric shapes. For example, being Northern nation and mostly peasants Latvians always had a very special relationship with Sun. There were used several geometric shapes for Sun. Simplest one was a circle. But usually the Sun sign was based on an octagon or a square divided in 9 parts. Among those ancient signs we can find also a sign of infinity two intertwining spirals.
