Por: E. Javier Elizondo. El doctorado en Princeton Es el momento de comentarles una anécdota que escuché de su propia voz. Al final de la conferencia en el congreso de Niza, cuando todavía se encontraba conversando con algunos de los asistentes a su charla, Bill Browder, su asesor de doctorado, empezó a bajar las escaleras del auditorio con pasos grandes y ruidosos, al tiempo que decía: "That´s bullshit, that´s bullshit! ". Santiago empezó a explicarle con calma lo que había expuesto en su conferencia. Bill Browder lo escuchó con atención, y al darse cuenta de la certeza de los argumentos, empezó a decir mientra se retiraba: " you son of a bitch, you son of a bitch ".

Edwin H. Spanier, Mathematics: Berkeley
Edwin H. Spanier, Mathematics: Berkeley
Professor Emeritus
Edwin H. Spanier died of cancer in Scottsdale, Arizona, on October 11, 1996. Born in Washington, D.C., on August 8, 1921, he was graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1941 and then spent three years as a mathematician in the U.S. Army Signal Corps. He received the doctorate in mathematics in 1947 from the University of Michigan under the direction of Norman Steenrod. After a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, he joined the faculty of the University of Chicago in 1948. He was a Guggenheim fellow in Paris in 1952-53, a member of the institute for Advanced Study in 1958-59, and a Miller Research Fellow at Berkeley in 1961-62. His visiting appointments include positions in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland; and at UCSD and UCLA. Spanier was appointed Professor of Mathematics at Berkeley in 1959, at the beginning of a period of rapid expansion of the mathematics department. An internationally recognized authority in the swiftly developing field of topology, he attracted first-class mathematicians as visitors and new faculty members. He played a major role in organizing new programs in geometry and topology, subjects in which Berkeley soon achieved preeminence. He served several times as vice chair and acting chair of the department, and directed 14 doctoral dissertations at Berkeley in addition to three at Chicago; in 1991 he became Professor Emeritus.

The Life and Times of One of the Century's Most Gifted Individuals
A Beautiful Mind
Sylvia Nasar
The author, best known as an economics correspondent for The New York Times, describes her biography of John Nash as a play in three acts: genius, madness, and reawakening. It is hard to say exactly when, during the 1950s, it became clear that Nash was a rare genius. He began the decade as a promising graduate student at Princeton and ended it in madness. In the interim, he did the work he will always be remembered for, in game theory, geometry, and analysis. His reawakening from madness is no easier to date than his descent into it but seems to have been well under way by 1990, according to those who saw him on a more or less daily basis in and around Princeton. He spent the intervening decades in varying degrees of mental illness, the depths of which Nasar strives mightily to plumb. The book devotes only a chapter to Nash's boyhood in Bluefield, West Virginia, and another to his undergraduate years at the Carnegie Institute of Technology-now Carnegie Mellon University-which he attended on a Westinghouse scholarship between June 1945 and June 1948.* Nash arrived well prepared, having completed numerous courses at Bluefield College while still in high school. His friends from those years remember him as a "brain," destined to become a "scientist," presumably of the white-coated Hollywood variety then making relentlessly pub-licized contributions to the war effort. He excelled in school but displayed no particular affinity for any one subject. Socially, he is remembered as awkward and immature.

The Second World War meant that Spanier spent three years doing army service before studying for his doctorate. This army service was in the U.S. Signal Corps. After his three years of army service, Spanier studied for his doctorate at the University of Michigan. Spanier's doctoral supervisor was Norman Steenrod and under his supervision Spanier wrote a thesis on algebraic topology for which he was awarded his doctorate in 1947. The following year Spanier spent as a research fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Then in 1948 he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Chicago. During the time he held a post at Chicago, Spanier spent the year 1952-53 in Paris supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the year 1958-59 as a member of the Institute for Advanced Study. Then in 1959 Spanier was appointed as professor of mathematics at Berkeley. At Berkeley, Spanier built up a strong group working in geometry and topology by several appointments of topologists to the faculty of Berkeley and also by attracting many top topologists to spend periods as visitors at Berkeley.

Take full advantage of the clear, encompassing exposition: Do the exercises. Many were Ph.D. dissertation-level problems in the 1960s; today, they're aptly described as "elementary"- because Milnor MADE them elementary. This book forms part of the toolkit you will need to fully explore the more modern work in dynamics, complexity, and applications (e.g., economics, physics). The clarity of the exposition also forms an ideal example of how to communicate mathematics powerfully and simply. Compact, readable text on the topology of manifolds This book is very short, which is quite an asset for a math book to have. It also requires little knowledge of math beyond advanced calculus and point-set topology. I found it extremely readable, and I greatly enjoyed it. I recommend it highly, and especially enjoyed the proof on page 8 of the fundamental theorem of algebra. How far we've come since Gauss' first proof... A good place to start This book is exceptionally well written and easy to read. Milnor proves a major result on almost every page. One learns a lot per unit time spent on this book. Despite being less than 80 pages, the book covers a significant amount of material in a clear concise manner.

60 years : 16 May 1997
David Epstein, with Christopher Zeeman, founded the University of Warwick Mathematics Department in 1964. Initially appointed as Reader, he was promoted to Professor in 1969 and has played a leading role in the successful development of this internationally famous department. Nothing could be a better tribute to David's many contributions to mathematics, and above all to his and Rona's warm and close relations with, and help to, many many members of the mathematics community over the years, than the overwhelming response to our invitation to his 60th birthday celebration conference in May 1997. The conference was attended by over 100 people from 16 countries, almost all of whom had close personal or research ties with David. We hope that this volume gives some impression of the range of his present interests and we are honoured to dedicate it to David.

B Y B OB N ELSON Samuel Eilenberg. He then worked with Henri Cartan to further develop these ideas and founded an area still very much in use today called homological algebra. His longest-running collaboration was with Saunders MacLane. Together they studied a variety of topics in algebraic topology and invented category theory, ubiquitous in modern mathematics. Eilenberg became interested in art collecting on a trip to Bombay in the mid-1950s and pursued Asian art partly to relieve his mind of the rigors of math, Polsky said. Eilenberg is survived by several cousins. A Columbia memorial service is being planned.

http://www.stanford.edu/~psuppes/autobio2.html
From Chicago I was sent to the South Pacific for two years of duty in 1944 and 1945. After a short period of adjustment, I found the isolation and serenity of the Solomon Islands quite attractive. I occupied myself with swimming, poker, Aristotle, and a couple of correspondence courses in mathematics and French. After a year of living on a small island, occupied only by military troops, I was transferred to Guam, which seemed relatively civilized but less conducive to intellectual work. I was discharged from the Army Air Force in 1946, and after some months of deciding what to do, changing my mind any number of times, and spending more than half a year working for my father in the oil fields near Artesia, New Mexico, I entered Columbia University as a graduate student in philosophy in January of 1947 and received a PhD in 1950. As an undergraduate I moved too often to be strongly influenced by any one teacher. I do remember certain impressive individuals, including Richard McKeon at Chicago, who lectured on Aristotle, Norman Steenrod, who taught my first course in calculus, and Professor Tanner at the University of Tulsa, from whom I learned elementary Greek. Considering my relatively extensive research efforts in psychology from about 1955 onward, it is somewhat surprising that I took no work in psychology either as an undergraduate or as a graduate student, but there was a feature of my education that made it easier for me to pick up what I needed to know without prior systematic training. As an undergraduate I wandered about in several different fields, and because of the easygoing policy of the Department of Philosophy in those days at Columbia I spent a good deal of time in nonphilosophical courses. I thus developed early the habits of absorbing a wide variety of information and feeling at home in the problem of learning a subject in which I had not had much prior training or guidance.
