Read This! The MAA Online book review column Briefly Noted December 2000 Problems in Mathematical Analysis I belongs to the great tradition of Eastern European problem books. Although covering only three topics, it boasts over 600 problems, which include all the traditional results usually studied in the first part of an analysis course. Such an impressive collection fills a gap in the materials available for the study of mathematics to students in the US. The book has complete solutions to all the problems, making it also useful for individual study. However, this is not a book for the "calculus-phobic." There are no exercises like "list the first five terms of the sequence," and very few of the problems would be suitable for a 50-minute midterm exam. Most of the problems assume that the reader is skillful in writing proofs, and they are meant to emphasize concepts. The statements are straightforward, without gradual questions designed to break the problems into easier parts or give hints as to which approach is better. n tends to plus or minus infinity, then (1+1/a

There is no Nobel prize in mathematics. Why not? That question has created numerous stories, myths, and anecdotes. The most popular is that Nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician, usually said to be Mittag-Leffler, and in revenge Nobel refused to endow one of his prizes in mathematics. Too bad for this story that Nobel was a life-long bachelor! The other common story is that Mittag-Leffler, the leading Swedish mathematician of Nobel's time, antagonized Nobel and so Nobel gave no prize in mathematics to prevent Mittag-Leffler from becoming a winner. This story is also suspect, however, because Nobel and Mittag-Leffler had almost no contact with each other. Most likely Nobel simply never gave any thought to including mathematics among his list of prize areas.

The way the author weaves history and math in a seamless manner is just awesome. Even the descriptions of the countries/cities where the mathematicians lived makes you want to grab a history textbook to know more. P.S: You might be surprised by certain politically incorrect phrases like "we modern men", etc ...That is because this book was originally published in 1961 Of Men and Numbers : The Story of the Great Mathematicians > Customer Review #2: "Of Men and Numbers by Jane Muir - A review This is an ENJOYABLE book. I am not a mathematician, but came across this book by chance while looking for some specific explanations. The book was so interesting and well written that I stopped my research and read it through. I would characterize it roughly as a chronological explanation of the lives of the worlds great mathematicians. It relates their lives and contributions to knowledge to those who lived before and after them. The author strikes a very nice balance between explanation of their environment and their contribution to knowledge (and its acceptance, rejection, or being ignored). Its all nicely woven together. The book gave me the feeling of getting just the right amount of detail and explanation with plenty of references for those who wish to study deeper on many subjects covered in the book. Try it. Youll like it. End of review

Katherine Adebola Okikiolu, Twenty-First Century Mathematician (Grades 6-12) May 10 Katherine (Kate) Adebola Okikiolu is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego. Among many mathematical interests, Okikiolu is investigating a famous question that was posed by mathematicians as far back as 1966: Can you hear the shape of a drum? In other words, do different-shaped drums produce different sounds? Okikiolu explains at her web site (see the "Ready-to-Go" Activities section below) that the mathematicians who contemplated this question were thinking about a specific set of drums, known as planar (two-dimensional) drums. You can make a simple planar drum by bending a wire into a loop of any shape (which in essence means you can have a limitless number of drum shapes) as long as you can place the loop flat on a table and pull a drum skin taut across the loop. This introduces the question: Can two differently shaped drums make the same sound? While, in itself, this is a fascinating area of research, Okikiolu is taking this research to another dimensionliterally. She is investigating drums of higher dimension which cannot be built in our three-dimensional world. These drums are useful in modeling physical variables such as velocity, energy, time, and magnetic fields.

One of the most appealing aspects of home based learning for us has been the increased opportunity (over regular schools) to "learn by doing". In my last article, Researching Mathematics, I explained my concern over how we were learning Maths in our home learning journey. Mathematics certainly wasn't the rich tapestry of experiences other subject areas offered. After much research and trying different ideas, we have come to a place where Maths is no longer something to roll one's eyes at. We are keeping in mind the fact that the universe works on mathematical principles and trying hard not to separate the wonder of Maths from life.

Although he was a mathematician, he is best known as the author of Alice's adventures in wonderland (1865) and Through the looking glass (1872), children's books that are among the most popular of all time. They are distinguished as satire and as examples of verbal wit. Dodgson wrote mathematical works under his own name but for his children's books he invented the pen name "Lewis Carroll" by translating his first two names "Charles Lutwidge" into Latin as "Carolus Lodovicus", then anglicising and reversing their order. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's father was the Reverend Charles Dodgson. Charles Dodgson senior was born in 1800 and studied at the University of Oxford where he gained a First Class degree in both mathematics and classics. He was appointed as a mathematics lecturer at Oxford where he held a Fellowship but, on marrying his cousin Frances Jane Lutwidge in 1827, he had to give up his Oxford Fellowship. He then became a curate at All Saints' Church in Daresbury and it was in that town that ten of Charles and Frances' eleven children were born. Charles Lutwidge was the eldest of his parents three boys, having two elder sisters Fanny, born in 1828, and Elizabeth, born in 1830. Charles was baptised on 11 July 1832 in his father's church and grew up in a strict Christian household. His early education, like that of his brothers and sisters, was provided by his parents. He read mostly religious books as a child and an indication of his rapid progress is that he had read

Branch of Science Mathematicians Branch of Science Physicists ... English Newton, Isaac (1642-1727) English physicist and mathematician who was born into a poor farming family. Luckily for humanity, Newton was not a good farmer, and was sent to Cambridge to study to become a preacher. At Cambridge, Newton studied mathematics, being especially strongly influenced by Euclid , although he was also influenced by Baconian and Cartesian philosophies. Newton was forced to leave Cambridge when it was closed because of the plague, and it was during this period that he made some of his most significant discoveries. With the reticence he was to show later in life, Newton did not, however, publish his results. Newton suffered a mental breakdown in 1675 and was still recovering through 1679. In response to a letter from Hooke , he suggested that a particle, if released, would spiral in to the center of the Earth Hooke wrote back, claiming that the path would not be a spiral, but an ellipse Newton, who hated being bested, then proceeded to work out the mathematics of orbits. Again, he did not publish his calculations. Newton then began devoting his efforts to theological speculation and put the calculations on elliptical motion aside, telling Halley he had lost them (Westfall 1993, p. 403).

MOMENTOUS MATHEMATICIANS By Amy Pearce INTRODUCTION TASK PROCESS ... EVALUATION INTRODUCTION Mathematicians have had a very important influence on our view of the world. In this project, you will be involved in helping to choose the most important mathematicians in history to be part of a mathematics exhibit at The Museum of Science and Industry. In doing so, you will learn about many of history's great math minds. You will also try to convince others by your "dazzling" presentation that a certain mathematician is one of the most important! TASK The Museum of Science and Industry is opening a new exhibit, featuring the most important mathematicians in history. The exhibit will be divided into specific time periods in history. Please assume that you are part of a group of mathematics historians that is interested in a specific period of history. As a group, you feel very strongly that a particular mathematician merits representation in this exhibit. In order to further your cause, you will need to write a letter of nomination to the committee involved in choosing the individuals to be part of the exhibit. We will assume that your letter earns you the opportunity to make a presentation to the selection committee. Using PowerPoint, you will design a convincing presentation to "sell" you mathematician to the committee. You will of course have to back up your argument with good research. Here are the specifics of your group's task: You will be part of a group of three. Each of you will have a specific role as a leader in one part of this project. The three roles will be Head Historian, Secretary, and Presentation chairman. All of you will need to help the chairperson in each phase of the project. You may decide among yourselves who will do what.
