22. Scientific Distinction< Peter D. Lax and cathleen S. morawetz have served terms as President of the AmericanMathematical Society; Marsha J. Berger, Robert V. Kohn and and Michael L http://www.cims.nyu.edu/information/brochure/scientific.html

Scientific Distinction The career of a scientist encompasses research, teaching, and service to the community at large. The distinctions received by Institute faculty are correspondingly diverse. Prizes from professional societies, foundations, and government organizations provide one form of recognition. The Institute's faculty members have received many such awards, including three National Medals of Science, two MacArthur Foundation Fellowships, two Wolf Prizes, one Veblen Prize, two Packard Foundation Fellowships, and fourteen NSF Presidential Young Investigator, PECASE, or CAREER awards, as well as many Sloan Research Fellowships, Guggenheim Foundation Fellowships, and NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships. Election to elite scientific societies serves as another type of recognition. The Institute's faculty includes fourteen members of the National Academy of Sciences, twelve Fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and four Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Several members of the faculty have been active in the governance of scientific organizations or have served on committees that guide national science policy. Peter D. Lax and Cathleen S. Morawetz have served terms as President of the American Mathematical Society; Marsha J. Berger, Robert V. Kohn and and Michael L. Overton have served terms on SIAM's Board of Trustees or Council; Joel H. Spencer has served on the AMS Executive Committee; Peter D. Lax was a a member of the National Science Board for six years; and several faculty members have served on or chaired committees of the National Research Council.

23. Citation For Cathleen Synge Morawetz During the decade before the 1960s cathleen morawetz produced extremely ambitiousand important results on transonic flow (flow near to the speed of sound http://www.lms.ac.uk/activities/prizes_com/citations01/morawetz.html

Citation for Cathleen Synge Morawetz In later work, Professor Morawetz turned her attention to scattering of waves by obstacles. She showed that disturbances would radiate to infinity, with energy near to the obstacle decaying like a negative power of time. In three dimensions she and others showed that the energy decays exponentially in time. In this work she has made use of ingeniously derived energy identities. These novel identities have become central in modern theories of hyperbolic systems, and in systems of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type. Cathleen Morawetz was Director of the Courant Institute of the Mathematical Sciences, New York University, from 1984 to 1988. She was President of the American Mathematical Society from 1995 to 1997, and its Gibbs Lecturer in 1981. She is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences; in 1998 she was awarded the United States National Medal of Science, which was presented by the President of the United States, and was the first woman mathematician to be so honoured.

Mathematics in Science and Society Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with the American Mathematical Society presenting two talks by Professor Cathleen Morawetz President of the American Mathematical Society and Professor Emeritus, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University See the poster! THE USEFULNESS OF ENERGY INTEGRALS Most people are familiar with the concept of constant energy from either planets in motion or a falling stone. This idea can be extended most usefully to equations which govern propagation. We shall show how those ideas have proved useful in the study of many problems such as how sound energy spreads in space or how airplanes develop shocks. Tuesday, September 17, 1996 at 4:30 pm, Room 314, Altgeld Hall Refreshments at 3:15 pm in Room 321, Altgeld Hall TRANSONIC FLOWS Colloquium: Time dependent gas dynamics is governed by hyperbolic equations, and shocks are inevitable. In two cases the equations simplify to a single equation, but of mixed type, i.e., it could be elliptic or hyperbolic. Properties and paradoxes of these flows will be described. Thursday, September 19, 1996 at 4:00 pm, Room 314, Altgeld Hall.

SIAM News Quick Search: Morawetz Receives National Science Medal Cathleen Morawetz In a 1990 interview, Cathleen Morawetz, now a professor emerita of mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, commented on the environment in which she began to do mathematics: "Until the women's movement of the late sixties it really was considered very bad form for a woman to be overtly ambitious, very bad form. . . . And I think of course that underneath I was always very ambitious." ( citation information A decade before it would become culturally acceptable, Morawetz's ambition led her to produce results on transonic flowresults that, in the words of her Courant colleague Robert Kohn, "greatly influenced theoretical and practical thinking about airfoil design." In the subsequent years of a remarkable, multifaceted career, Morawetz has made further deep mathematical contributionsanalysis of the scattering of waves from obstacles, a scattering theory for nonlinear wave equations, and extended work on fundamental questions in transonic flow being a few highlights. At the same time, she has been a distinguished leader in the mathematical sciences community, both at Courant and nationally. As president of the American Mathematical Society (1995-97), Morawetz was "extraordinarily effective, taking a broad and inclusive view of mathematics," according to her SIAM counterpart Margaret Wright. "Her visible and unselfish dedication," Wright says, "gives her unquestioned credibility as a spokesperson for the mathematical sciences." Joseph Keller, a colleague of some 50 years, points out that "the set of directors of the Courant Institute has been a very impressive group of mathematicians; Cathleen [Courant's director from 1984 to 1988] was an appropriate member of that group."

32. A Celebration For Donald J. Lewis boss at NSF and accordingly one of the few speakers allowed on the carefully guardedagenda by the organizers of the event, cathleen morawetz and Margaret http://www.siam.org/siamnews/09-99/lewis.htm

SIAM News Quick Search: Former SIAM and AMS presidents Margaret Wright and Cathleen Morawetz set out to organize an event that would leave Lewis with a sense that his tireless efforts were indeed appreciated by the community. All photographs this page by Marty LaVor. Jim Crowley and Gil Strang with Lewis, who was formally commended by SIAM for "Service to the Mathematical Sciences," specifically "his inspiring and energetic leadership" of DMS, "his creative and thoughtful strategies for advancing mathematical sciences research, and his dedicated and tireless service on behalf of the mathematical sciences community." Role reversal: Judy Sunley first encountered Lewis as a student in his freshman calculus course at Michigan, 35 years ago this fall. "He wrote so fast on the board," she recalled, "that I had to trade off with a friend, taking notes and taking in what he was writing on the board . . . The median score on the first exam was about 30. . . ." However, she continued, he was a mentor "back when we didn't talk about mentors. . . . He cared about students." Much more recently, when frustrated by the bureaucratic aspects of his job at NSF, Lewis found himself turning to his former student (herself a former DMS director and, as of August, interim NSF assistant director for the Education and Human Resources Directorate).

For Age: 4 years and up LeapPad by LeapFrog At Amazon on 4-15-2003. More Info This talking book comes with an interactive ''magic pen'' that works like a hand-held computer mouse pointer. Children can opt to turn the paper pages and listen to the story read with different voices for each character. Or they can interrupt the read-aloud session to play with the magic pen (permanently attached with a wire). They can point the pen tip to any word on a page and hear it pronounced, or touch a picture and hear a sound effect (such as ''Strike one!'' for the baseball bat). Very similar to the popular Living Books computer games, this 10-by-11-inch book is more portable than a home computer. Stories in this set include Lil's Loose Tooth, Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever, and Winnie the Pooh in A Sweet Good Morning. The set also includes a paper piano keyboard and map and human anatomy games. Gail Hudson Batteries: 4 AAbatteries required.
