Abstract: We explain how to apply techniques from integrable systems to construct -soliton homoclinic wave maps from the periodic Minkowski space S x R to a compact Lie group, and more generally to a compact symmetric space. We give a correspondence between solutions of the -1 flow equation associated to a compact Lie group G and wave maps into G -soliton breather solutions for the -1 flow equation and show that the corresponding wave maps are periodic and homoclinic. The compact symmetric space G/K can be embedded as a totally geodesic submanifold of G via the Cartan embedding. We prescribe the constraint condition for the -1 flow equation associated to G which insures that the corresponding wave map into G actually lies in G/K . For example, when G/K = SU(2)/SO(2) = S2 , the constrained -1-flow equation associated to SU(2) has the sine-Gordon equation (SGE) as a subequation and classical breather solutions of the SGE are 2- soliton breathers. Thus our result generalizes the result of Shatah and Strauss that a classical breather solution of the SGE gives rise to a periodic homoclinic wave map to

Chances are, if the artist is a 12-year old child, the drawing will be neither complimentary nor accurate. And this phenomenon is not new. On January 3, 2001, the BBC News Online Service reported on a study conducted by Plymouth University (U.K.) that documented the poor image of mathematicians among children. One child went so far as to specify that "mathematicians have no friends, except other mathematicians, they're not married or seeing anyone, usually fat, very unstylish . . . no social life whatsoever. . . ." It isn't only mathematicians who have a bad reputation among school kids: Other scientists and their disciplines come in for their share of negative stereotypes. On January 12, 2003, The New York Times reported that computer science is very unpopular among girls: "Tech-minded teachers worry that programming is to this generation what math was to their mothers-a boys' club preventing girls from getting a foothold in the technological world." Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon University even have a name for this problem: the "Dave-to-Girl" ratio. As reported in the Times (May 22, 2003), innovative outreach and recruiting programs at CMU improved female enrollment to a remarkable high of 40% in the fall of 2000; today, however, the percentage of female undergraduate computer science students at CMU is slipping, with women making up approximately 32% of the class that will enter in the fall of 2003.

The book runs the gamut with such things as X-File numbers, Mozart numbers, Katydid sequences, and on and on. There's something for everyone's interest." - Theoni Pappas, author of The Joy of Mathematics "Clifford Pickover has written another marvelous book. Through conversations between whimsical Dr. Googol and his pupil Monica, you can test your wits on an incredible variety of unusual mathematical puzzles and games. Along the way there are fascinating historical facts and math gossip to enjoy. You can't help absorbing a great deal of important math as you pick your way through Pickover's delightful pick of fresh, little-known gems of recreational mathematics."

Tento úøad, který mìl v jedné dobì až 1500 pracovníkù po celém svìtì, registroval v minulosti týdnì kolem 30 rùzných hlášení o výskytu UFO. V poslední dobì ale poèet hlášení klesl na minimum a také na pravidelné mìsíèní konference docházelo tak málo úèastníkù, že je bylo nutno pozastavit.

    Extractions: Women: the key to healthy math Last year we started collecting data for the setting up of a skills bank and a mentor ring. The response from members was satisfactory and in our next general meeting we should discuss how to organise and make best use of this data. While we are working to increase the number of women mathematicians, most European universities are worried because the number of students choosing to specialise in mathematics is decreasing. The major reason may be that students are being attracted more to a number of mathematically related courses, computer science and engineering in particular. Is mathematics threatened by the fast developing technology? I would say that since we cannot halt the passage of time we have to make technology work for us and put us in a more advantageous position. Even if there are conservatives among us who think that mathematics as it was taught was more rigorous and interesting than with the `interference' of technology, it is unwise to oppose change. What we have to strive for, is to use new inventions to do the repetitive work that tend to dull our minds and concentrate more on the essential areas that require originality. A trend that has started in some universities and that may pose a threat to mathematics academics is for the teaching of mathematics to be taken over by engineers and computer scientists rather than by Mathematicians in courses of applied mathematics. The danger is not only a direct one in that we will not be asked to do this servicing but also an indirect one in the sense that non-mathematicians tend to look at the subject as perfunctory, a tool for a purpose and fail to impart to students the trills that mathematical theory has in store for those who care to discover them.

    Extractions: Office of the Vice President for Research Uhlenbeck Today, Uhlenbeck, holder of the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents Chair in Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, is widely acclaimed as a talented and creative mathematician as well as someone who takes very seriously her obligation to mentor young women mathematicians. Through her research, Uhlenbeck has made significant contributions to our understanding of the fundamental properties of matter. In her professional life, she has demonstrated a perseverance that enabled her to succeed in science in spite of the discouraging roadblocks she encountered. After receiving her Ph.D. in 1968, she followed her bio-physicist husband to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then Berkeley, where she worked as a non-tenure track lecturer because the schools interested in her husband were not interested in her. In 1971, Uhlenbeck was offered an assistant professorship at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This time her husband moved with her. However, the marriage ended a few years later, at which time Uhlenbeck joined the faculty at the University of Illinois-Chicago. In 1995, Uhlenbeck received the Common Wealth Award for Science and Technology from Sigma Xi, the national research honorary society, and, in 1984, was named Alumna of the Year by the U-M.

    Extractions: Rob Kirby Last modified: Thu Apr 9 14:39:25 PDT Note (9 April, 98): The following article has been written over several years, and some of the data is now a few years old. It was originally submitted to the Notices of the AMS, which declined to accept it unless I removed the anecdote concerning Jenny Harrison; since anecdotes are an important part of the subject, and are usually unwritten and hard to verify, I did not wish to discard this one. The Newsletter of the AWM did not have the space, (but suggested a short letter referring to this article), so electronic publication in this form seemed to be the best alternative. I encourage replies, and will append them if the authors permit. SEXISM IN MATHEMATICS? by Rob Kirby "The persistence of rampant sexism seems almost unique to mathematics among scientific disciplines today.", [Paul Selvin, Science, 255, 1992, 13 March, page 1383]. This is the most extreme charge of sexism that I have run across. But lesser charges are common; for example, they are sprinkled through the pages of the Notices in September, 1991, and sometimes appear in issues of the Newsletter of the Association for Women in Mathematics. Often, it seems to me, an assumption of sexism in math stands behind calls for various forms of affirmative action. It is the purpose of this essay to discuss the charge of sexism within the math community at the elite, research oriented institutions. The charge of sexism rests on the quality of evidence (or lack thereof) for sexism. I wrote in this Newsletter (vol 25, no 6, page 22) that "there is, in print, nothing remotely close to evidence or argument that women are discriminated against in the math community". Out of context, this statement looks a bit extreme, and it is not surprising that it generated opposition; in particular Mary Beth Ruskai wrote: "I'm not sure what standard Kirby is applying here mathematical proof? guilt beyond reasonable doubt? preponderance of evidence? a videotape of a meeting in which someone says, "we won't hire any women"?" (AWM Newsletter, vol 26, no 2).
