His date of birth was given as 3 August on his birth certificate and this was the day on which, throughout his life, he celebrated his birthday. However, this was the date according to the Julian calendar that was used in czarist Russia at the time of his birth, since Poland at that time was part of the Russian Empire. He claimed that his actual date of birth was 16 August. In 1915 Europe was in the midst of World War I and Kac's family was evacuated further east into Russia. Mark Kac's father was an academic with a degree in philosophy from the University of Leipzig and a degree from Moscow in history and philology. During this time he made money tutoring in the family's one-room apartment. One of the topics he tutored was geometry and Mark, although only five years old, became fascinated by what his father was teaching and he persuaded his father to teach him some geometry. Describing this introduction to mathematics in [4], [5] he said:- ... at that time my father despaired because at the same time I was exceedingly bad learning multiplication tables. That one could know how to prove theorems of elementary geometry without knowing how much seven times nine was seemed more than slightly strange.

Mark Kac Steinhaus, with his predilection for metaphors, used to quote a Polish proverb, 'Forturny kolem sie tocza' [Luck runs in circles], to explain why , so intimately connected with circles, keeps cropping up in probability theory and statistics, the two disciplines which deal with randomness and luck.

Mark Kac pioneered the mathematical theory of stochastic processes. His formulation of Brownian motion became famous as the "Faynman-Kac Formula". Mark was renowned for simple questions with profound answers such as, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" whose answers require deep mathematics and have significant physical applications. Mark generously gave his time, advice, and energy to CNLS even though privately he complained that nonlinear studies is not a proper definition of a scientific endeavor, any more than non-elephant zoology is. The Kac Memorial Lectures provide us a yearly opportunity to celebrate his encouragement, wisdom and charm. HOME PAGE

Kutler reply to this message post a message on a new topic Back to math-history-list Subject: Mark Kac Author: s-kutler@sjca.edu Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 23:08:00 -0500 Friends: I was a companion of Mark Kac while he was a lecturer on our campus for a week in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had lunch with him every day. On the last day, he asked me to telephone him in New York when I visited there. He told me the telephone number this way: The number was 1905. I said that was easy: The year when Einstein published three great papers. Then he said But you'll never remember the prefix. What is it? 360. I said that I might remember it since it is the number of degrees around a whole circle. No, I always use radians. Best wishes from Annapolis, Sam Kutler The Math Forum

Stanislaw M. Ulam Papers (36 linear feet) Ms. Coll. 54 American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract A gifted mathematician, Polish-born Stanislaw Ulam made contributions to set theory, topology, mathematical logic, and number theory, but is most widely remembered for his work in fostering the technical development of thermonuclear weapons. He was associated with Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories for most of the years between 1943 and 1965, and thereafter with the University of Colorado. These papers include personal and professional correspondence, manuscripts of both published and unpublished works, and memorabilia.

Miscellaneous reprints, manuscripts, and journals, 1938-1986 Return to MOLE: APS Manuscripts On-Line Return to APS Library Return to APS home Background note Stanislaw Ulam Stanislaw Ulam was gifted mathematician who, during the course of his career, made significant contributions to set theory, topology, ergodic theory, probability, cellular automata theory, the study of nonlinear processes, the function of real variables, mathematical logic, and number theory. Perhaps his greatest achievement was the development of the Monte Carlo method for solving complex mathematical problems by electronic random sampling, but he made equally noteworthy contributions in hydrodynamics (three-dimensional fluid flow), the development of nuclear propulsion for space flight (Project Orion), and in fields as disparate as physics, biology, and astronomy. Yet despite the breadth of his scholarship, Ulam is most often remembered for the central role he played in the early development of the American hydrogen bomb.
