43. Remembering Dirk Jan Struik, 1894-2000
    On the life and career of dirk Jan struik, mathematician and historian of mathematics, who died on October 21, 2000.  
    http://www.maa.org/news/struik.html
    
    Extractions: Dirk Jan Struik, Professor Emeritus of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, died peacefully on Saturday, 21 October 2000 at his home in Belmont, Massachusetts. He had just turned 106, on September 30. In celebration for what was to be his last birthday, friends from around the world presented him with many multicolor posters containing expressions of admiration and gratitude for the depth and rigor of his academic scholarship and the boldness of his political stances, moving tributes attesting to how he enriched their lives, and words of hope for the worldwide struggle for justice and peace that he championed. Struik's life spanned many eras. He was born in 1894 in Rotterdam, Holland, where he studied from grammar through high school. In a recent interview, he speculated that from his father, who was a schoolteacher, he inherited a love of mathematics and history (Powell and Frankenstein, 1999, p. 421). In 1912, Struik entered Leiden University to study mathematics and physics. In contrast to his high school notions, he attributed his understanding of the spirit of mathematics and science to the theoretical physicist Paul Ehrenfest at Leiden: "All the science I had learned before was static. Ehrenfest showed me how science is a living and growing field" (Powell and Frankenstein, 1999, p. 442).

    Extractions: Search: Lycos Angelfire TV, Movie News Share This Page Report Abuse Edit your Site ... Next Newton vs. Leibniz; The Calculus Controversy Like most discoveries, calculus was the culmination of centuries of work rather than an instant epiphany. Mathematicians all over the world contributed to its development, but the two most recognized discoverers of calculus are Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Although the credit is currently given to both men, there was a time when the debate over which of them truly deserved the recognition was both heated and widespread. As the renowned author of Principia (1687) as well as a host of equally esteemed published works, it appears that Newton not only went much further in exploring the applications of calculus than Leibniz did, but he also ventured down a different road. Leibniz and Newton had very different views of calculus in that Newton’s was based on limits and concrete reality, while Leibniz focused more on the infinite and the abstract (Struik, 1948). However, regardless of the divergent paths these two scholars chose to venture down, the question of who took the first step remained the primary issue of debate. Unaware that Newton was reported to have discovered similar methods, Leibniz discovered “his” calculus in Paris between 1673 and 1676 (Ball, 1908). By 1676, Leibniz realized that he was onto something “big”; he just didn’t realize that Newton was on to the same big discovery because Newton was remaining somewhat tight lipped about his breakthroughs. In fact, it was actually the delayed publication of Newton’s findings that caused the entire controversy. Leibniz published the first account of differential calculus in 1684 and then published the explanation of integral calculus in 1686 (Boyer, 1968).

    Extractions: How many people have lives that can claim contact with three centuries, one of which begins a new millennium? Thus will have been the life of Dirk Struik when 1999 yields to year 2000. Even fewer will have this experience after a century that encompassed work, personal joys, and professional success that earned world-wide plaudits. To usher in the new millennium has been a Struik ambition for some time. And as a self-proclaimed optimist, he looks to the coming century to move human society toward a better social and economic arrangement throughout the world - in a word, toward socialism. Who is this audacious man who, at 104 years, can smile over a pleasant turn in the conversation as he expresses his dismay at a world distraught with multiple wars on four of our five continents, and an environment heading for catastrophe even as solutions become more and more widely known. A Boston celebrity, though of Dutch origin and early training, Struik is professor emeritus of mathematics at MIT; the author of numerous books on mathematics, its history and theories; a popular lecturer and an outspoken ally of progressive causes, with a lifetime commitment to Marxist analysis. His book, Yankee Science in the Making (Dover Press), is still in print and available in book stores.

When Uys's satirical plays started irritating South African politicians in the 70's, most were banned, so he launched his ‘one-man total onslaught' in 1981 against the narrow-minded Pretoria regime, most of whom, he says, are now ‘either dead, in retirement, in disgrace, insane, incontinent, forgotten, or recycled as avid supporters of the black majority rule'. A Part Hate A Part Love is the biography of Evita Bezuidenhout, Pieter-Dirk Uys's most visible creation, known and accepted as the “most famous white woman in South Africa ”. The book Evita's Funigalore is based on his 1994 12-part television series in which Evita Bezuidenhout interviewed the new democratic leaders, including Nelson Mandela. His most recent novel

    Extractions: EDITORIAL PERSPECTIVES - SUMMER 2001 Science fiction can be a vehicle for critical social theory: by playing fast and loose with science one must not look too carefully into the scientific foundations of the stories, to avoid a collapse of the suspension of disbelief on which the entire effect rests a spot light can be thrown onto social reality, after the fashion of David Ricardo's "imagining strong cases" or Marx's "individuals as pure em bodiments of class interest." But let the story speak for itself. We are in the 23rd century. The starship Voyager, stranded in a sector of the galaxy tens of thousands of light years from Earth, enters the orbit of a strange planet, only to find itself stuck in a "tachyon field," unable to escape. The crew then discovers that the presence of Voyager in the planet's upper atmosphere is causing continual seismic activity on the surface; and that the planet is inhabited by intelligent life, at an early neolithic stage of technological and social evolution. But the planet's most remarkable feature please hang onto your suspension of disbelief for the duration is this: time passes much more rapidly there than in the rest of the galaxy, including on Voyager itself: a second of general time corresponds to almost a day on the planet (2). One member of the crew with an anthropological bent, First Officer Chakotay, is delighted at the prospect of studying civilizations as they rise and fall, watching history unfold before his eyes. His colleagues, however, are more preoccupied with the problem of extricating the ship from whatever is holding it captive in the planet's orbit. Efforts to power the ship out of the trap, however, increase the earthquakes on the surface, endangering the people there. True to Starfleet's "Prime Directive" no interference, especially of a harmful kind, in the affairs of alien peoples the Voyager crew stops trying to blast directly out of the trap in which they are held and looks for other solutions.
