Both Phineas and Annie were Jewish and had been born in Lithuania. Phineas had emigrated to Philadelphia in the United States in 1881 and there he had worked very hard, having jobs such as a nightwatchman during the night and as a teacher during the day, while he earned the necessary money to bring his sisters and Annie, his wife to be, to the United States. Phineas and Annie had four sons and four daughters; their son Louis being their third child. Louis became fascinated by mathematics while at grammar school. However he was essentially self-taught in the subject, buying second hand mathematics books from a bookstore in Philadelphia for five or ten cents when he was about 13 years old. These books presented many examples taken from the Cambridge Tripos examinations and Louis soon came to look on Cambridge University in England as the place of highest mathematical learning. It became his ambition to study mathematics at Cambridge. When we wrote that Louis was "essentially self-taught" in mathematics we certainly did not wish to imply that he did not receive a good schooling, just that this schooling did little to introduce him to anything beyond elementary mathematics. He entered primary school at the age of 6 where he studied until he entered grammar school at the age of 12. Then, at age 14, he entered the Central High School in Philadelphia but he was already at an advanced level in mathematics even before he began to study at this school which was, in fact, the oldest high school in the United States outside New England.

2. Quotation By Louis Mordell Louis Mordell (1888 1972). Neither you nor I nor anybody else knowswhat makes a mathematician tick. It is not a question of cleverness. http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Quotations2/128.html

Louis Mordell Neither you nor I nor anybody else knows what makes a mathematician tick. It is not a question of cleverness. I know many mathematicians who are far abler than I am, but they have not been so lucky. An illustration may be given by considering two miners. One may be an expert geologist, but he does not find the golden nuggets that the ignorant miner does. Quoted in H Eves Mathematical Circles Adieu (Boston 1977).

He studied solutions of y = x + k which had been studied by Fermat Thue showed that this equation had only finitely many solutions but Mordell only learned about Thue 's work later. Mordell lectured at Manchester College of Technology from 1920 to 1922. During this time he discovered the result for which he is best known, namely the finite basis theorem, which proved a conjecture of In 1922 he went to Manchester University where he remained until he succeeded Hardy at Cambridge in 1945. Together with Davenport , he initiated great advances in the geometry of numbers. Mordell was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1924, and received its Sylvester Medal in 1949:- ... for his distinguished researches in pure mathematics, especially for his discoveries in the theory of numbers. He was elected President of the London Mathematical Society in 1943, holding the post until 1945. He had already won the

7. Fermat's Last Theorem - There Are Bigger Problems British mathematician louis mordell made a conjecture that was named, naturally, "mordell's conjecture". Similarly to Hilbert's tenth problem, mordell's conjecture does not refer to http://fermat.workjoke.com/flt6.htm

Previous chapter: Is there a proof at all? Next chapter: There are failures too Table of contents There are bigger problems With all the fuss about FLT, we should keep in mind that it is dealing with only one Diophantine equation, of which many others exist. Finding general tools to solve Diophantine equations is, of course, much more important than the solution of one specific equation. Kummer, whom no one doubts his contribution to proving FLT, expressed himself radically about this subject, and said that FLT is "more a curiosity than a pinnacle of science". Even though activity to prove FLT directly was continued all along the twentieth century, a new direction emerged: stating new problems, much vaster than FLT, the solution of which will also solve FLT immediately, as a special case. This approach to solving mathematical problems was presented clearly by Hilbert, in a famous lecture he gave at the international conference of mathematics, which took place in Paris in 1900: "If we do not succeed in solving a mathematical problem, the reason frequently consists in our failure to recognize the more general standpoint from which the problem before us appears only as a single link in a chain of related problems. After finding this standpoint, not only is this problem frequently more accessible to our investigation, but at the same time we come into possession of a method which is applicable also to related problems. The introduction of complex paths of integration by Cauchy and of the notion of the IDEALS in number theory by Kummer may serve as examples. This way for finding general methods is certainly the most practicable and the most certain; for he who seeks for methods without having a definite problem in mind seeks for the most part in vain."

Louis Joel Mordell (1888-1972) This small section is essentially about the deep question: how close can squares and cubes get to each other You may view a photograph of Mordell in the Oxford 1969 corner of my web site, and a short account of a conversation I had with him at the time the photograph was taken. Here I mention only one famous result of Mordell - which is intimately related to Thue's theorem - and here mention that both Thue and Mordell relate to later profound work of Alan Baker. Some (fast-track!) background. Everyone knows the squares: 0, 1, 4, 9, 16, ... , and it is trivial to explain why the successive differences between them, namely 1, 3, 5, 7, ... , follow a predictable pattern: it's simply that The cubes are: 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, ... The differences: 1, 7, 19, 37, 61, 91, ... Their differences: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ... [and it's an easy exercise to explain why...] But now for something quite different . The mixed sequence of all squares and cubes (the ones in the larger font size are those that are both a square and a cube, and so are a sixth power) starts like this: Now look at the successive differences: 1, 3, 4, 1, 7, 9, 2, 9, 13, ... . As you see, the differences are most certainly not monotonic - as was the case with the squares and cubes separately - and jump about all over the place ('live' I can vary the 'bound' - I'll probably make it be 100000 (a
