Bell has written a fascinating book. The amount of biographical details and of mathematics that he has compressed into a volume of 600 pages is extraordinary...he carries the reader along; he whets the appetite. About the Author Book Description Here is the classic, much-read introduction to the craft and history of mathematics by E.T. Bell, a leading figure in mathematics in America for half a century. Men of Mathematics accessibly explains the major mathematics, from the geometry of the Greeks through Newton's calculus and on to the laws of probability, symbolic logic, and the fourth dimension. In addition, the book goes beyond pure mathematics to present a series of engrossing biographies of the great mathematicians an extraordinary number of whom lived bizarre or unusual lives. Finally, Men of Mathematics is also a history of ideas, tracing the majestic development of mathematical thought from ancient times to the twentieth century. This enduring work's clear, often humorous way of dealing with complex ideas makes it an ideal book for the non-mathematician. Buy this Book from Amazon.com

Search MAA Online MAA Home Ivars Peterson's MathLand September 2, 1996 Beyond the Ellipse There's a simple trick one can use to draw an ellipse. Tie the ends of a length of string to two pins (or thumbtacks) stuck in a sheet of paper on a drawing board. Then, keeping the string taut with the point of a pencil, allow the pencil to trace a path around the pins. The resulting curve is an ellipse, with the two pins, or fixed points, representing its foci. Drawing an ellipse. This drawing method takes advantage of the geometric fact that the sum of the distances from the foci of an ellipse is the same for all points on the curve. Thus, If A and B are the foci of an ellipse, the total distance (AP + PB) from the foci to any point P on the curve is constant. One can also ask what curve results when the total distance from three given points is kept the same. For example, suppose that the pins are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle. In this case, it's not possible to draw the figure using a pencil and string because the pins would end up getting in the way of the string. However, one can explore this possibility using a computer. That's precisely what Bilge Demirkoz, a 16-year-old high school student in Istanbul,Turkey, did to investigate what happens for not only three but also four fixed points. She presented a guided tour of her findings in this neglected corner of mathematics one evening at the Seattle Mathcamp (see last week's MathLand article

The Math Major CSU Fresno Mathematics Department Vol 3. No. 6 (November 11, 1998) Editor: Dr. Larry Cusick Math Department Colloquium Series Colloquia are usually on Thursdays. This week we have a talk on Friday. There will be another colloquium on the following thursday. Colloquium: Friday, November 13, 3:10 in McLane Hall 162. Speaker: Dr. Jennifer Taback, from the UC Berkeley Mathematics Department Title: "Hyperbolic Tessellations and Escher's Art" Description: Everyone is familiar with the regular Euclidean tessellations of the plane by equilateral triangles, squares and hexagons. What kind of geometry would we have to impose on the plane to make regular octagons tessellate, say 8 to a vertex? I will talk (interactively) about this type of geometry, called hyperbolic geometry, and contrast some basic properties of hyperbolic geometry with those of Euclidean geometry. We have all seen examples of hyperbolic geometry in some of Escher's tessellations. Together we will examine these drawings, and look for their hyperbolic symmetries.

74. Carl Friedrich Gauss the young Gauss was correct. . eric temple bell, Men Of Mathematics , Simon Schuster, Inc., New York, 1937. When Gauss was ten years http://www.sonoma.edu/Math/faculty/falbo/gauss.html

CARL FRIEDRICH GAUSS (1777-1855) Excerpt from MATH ODYSSEY 2000 Perhaps one of the reasons that Carl Friedrich Gauss was able to create so much mathematics in his lifetime was that he got a very early start. Just consider the following two events: when he was 3 years old he corrected his father's arithmetic, and in school, when he was in the third grade, he developed a formula for finding the sum of any arithmetic progression. Gauss was born in Brunswick, Germany as the only son of poor peasants living in miserable conditions. He exhibited such early genius that his family and neighbors called him the "wonder child". When he was two years old, he gradually got his parents to tell him how to pronounce all the letters of the alphabet. Then, by sounding out combinations of letters, he learned (on his own) to read aloud. He also picked up the meanings of the number symbols and learned to do arithmetical calculations. The story as told by Eric T. Bell: "One Saturday Gerhardt Gauss was making out the weekly payroll for the laborers under his charge, unaware that his young son was following the proceedings with critical attention. Coming to the end of his long computations, Gerhardt was startled to hear the little boy pipe up, 'Father, the reckoning is wrong, it should be ..." A check of the account showed that the figure named by the young Gauss was correct." Eric Temple Bell, Men Of Mathematics , Simon Schuster, Inc., New York, 1937
