Some Words of Gian-Carlo Rota I have yet to find a person who can state the entire theory (of Stone's) from memory. (1973) It sees that publishing an idea in a Festschrift is the quickest way to have it forgotten. (1973) Analysis wil play second fiddle to algebra. The algebraic structure sooner or later comes to dominate, whether or not it is recognized when a subject is born. (1998) As long as a branch of secience offers an abundance of problems, so long is it alive. - David Hilbert, 1900.

A Professor Who Loved Coke - In memory of Gian-Carlo Rota By Jackie Shen (followed by a story from Norton Starr) Facing the word processor of my new notebook, I can feel that my mind is clear and clean, like the sky above the window of my apartment. It is a typical Los Angeles summer night. You can hear the on-going concert of the bugs' world. I guess they are happy living in grass, especially here. LA is their heaven... It is the perfect time to write. Gian-Carlo, my dear mentor and friend. I am ready to pay my long-term emotional debt. I wish my poor English will not distort my mind, and heart... Gian-Carlo loved Coke. No one ever sees why. Once I secretly made my assumption: Gian-Carlo loved Coke so much just because "Cola" well approximated "Carlo." The mathematical community loves to start from assumptions. So does Gian-Carlo. I suppose he was trying to prove my hypothesis, since he was always fond of doing proof, as a mathematician for nearly four decades. Gian-Carlo was the General-of-ODE(ordinary differential equations) at MIT. He seemed to love teaching ODE (very much!). The lecture room was typically full of more than 200 students, and he taught two sessions, usually one right after the other. (During weekends, this room is where you can hear hundreds of people screaming for movies and popcorns.) Once I told myself that if I were the CEO of the Coca-Cola company, I would take no hesitation to reward Gian-Carlo for his persistent advertising role.

He was a wonderful person so civilized, friendly, and encouraging. And he was an outstanding mathematician, who began as an analyst and went on to transform the subject of combinatorics. If you ever read his articles and book reviews, or heard him lecture, you would never forget him.

58. Gian-Carlo Rota / Lesson 1 1 Lecturing. The following four requirements of a good lecture donot seem to be altogether obvious, judging from the mathematics http://www.birkhauser.ch/books/math/rotaspee/lesson1.htm

1 Lecturing The following four requirements of a good lecture do not seem to be altogether obvious, judging from the mathematics lectures I have been listening to for the past forty-six years. a. Every lecture should make only one main point b. Never run overtime Running overtime is the one unforgivable error a lecturer can make. After fifty minutes (one microcentury as von Neumann used to say) everybody's attention will turn elsewhere even if we are trying to prove the Riemann hypothesis. One minute overtime can destroy the best of lectures. c. Relate to your audience As you enter the lecture hall, try to spot someone in the audience with whose work you have some familiarity. Quickly rearrange your presentation so as to manage to mention some of that person's work. In this way, you will guarantee that at least one person will follow with rapt attention, and you will make a friend to boot. Everyone in the audience has come to listen to your lecture with the secret hope of hearing their work mentioned. d. Give them something to take home

At M.I.T. he had a dual position in applied mathematics and philosophy. His philosophic interests centered on the existential thoughts of . . . Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. In his Indiscrete Thoughts . . . his purpose was to debunk "the myth of monolithic personalilty" in his profession, although not all of his subjects were pleased with their portraits.
