Mathematician Report Index Below is a list of mathematicians. You may choose from this list or report on a mathematician not listed here. In either case, you must discuss with me the mathematician you have chosen prior to starting your report. No two students may write a report on the same mathematician. I would advise you to go to the library before choosing your topic as there might not be much information on the mathematician you have chosen. Also, you should determine the topic early in the term so that you can "lock-in" your report topic!! The report must include: 1. The name of the mathematician. 2. The years the mathematician was alive. 3. A biography. 4. The mathematician's major contribution(s) to mathematics and an explanation of the importance. 5. A historical perspective during the time the mathematician was alive. Some suggestions on the historical perspective might be: (a) Any wars etc. (b) Scientific breakthroughs of the time (c) Major discoveries of the time (d) How did this mathematician change history etc.

Funktionaalianalyysin seminaari Seminar in Functional Analysis Historia ja tausta Funktionaalianalyysin seminaarin perusti Klaus Vala noin 1970. Seminaari on toiminut ilman taukoa tästä ajankohdasta, ja se on näin yksi laitoksen vanhimmista nykyisin toimivista tutkimusseminaareista. Funktionaalianalyysin seminaari on olemassaolonsa aikana kouluttanut merkittävän joukon suomalaisia matemaatikoita. Seminaarista ovat olleet virallisesti vastuussa, eri aikoina ja kombinaatioina, (ainakin) Klaus Vala, Heikki Apiola, Kari Astala, Lassi Päivärinta, Jari Taskinen ja Hans-Olav Tylli History and background The Seminar in Functional Analysis was founded by Klaus Vala about 1970. The seminar has operated continuously since that date, which makes it one of the oldest current research seminars of the department. The Seminar in Functional Analysis has educated a sizable number of Finnish mathematicians. The following mathematicians have, during different times and in various combinations, been officially responsible for the running of the seminar: Klaus Vala, Heikki Apiola, Kari Astala, Lassi Päivärinta, Jari Taskinen

AudioVideo Thursday, 16 March, 2000, 17:53 GMT Mir actor remains grounded Two cosmonauts will film footage on Mir next month A project to send a Russian actor onto the Mir space station to film part of a movie has collapsed because of lack of funds. The joint Russo-British production team behind The Final Journey was hoping to send Vladimir Steklov, 52, up to the space station as part of a mission pencilled in for next month. British producer John Daly and Russian director Yuri Kara had said Gary Oldman and Sean Penn were to star in the film, alongside Russian stars Mikhail Ulyanov and Leonid Korolev. They claimed to have made an initial payment to the Russian Air and Space Agency to secure Steklov's passage onto Mir alongside cosmonauts Sergei Zaletin and Alexander Kaleri. Vladimir Steklov: Will be staying on earth But officials said they had not even been paid for Steklov's training, let alone the bill for the flight. "Vladimir Steklov will not go to Mir as earlier planned because of the failure to meet the terms of the contract," the agency's spokesman Konstantin Kreidenko said.

The Russo-British production team of The Final Journey want to put Steklov, 52, on board the ageing Mir space station - which has been dogged by breakdowns and repeatedly patched up. Hollywood stars Gary Oldman and Sean Penn will star in the film on Earth, alongside Steklov and fellow Russian actors Mikhail Ulyanov and Leonid Korolev. Steklov said he began training two years ago, and he expects he will join cosmonauts Sergey Zaletin and Alexander Kaleri for the 45-day mission. Steklov has been training for two years The Russian Space Agency has not yet given the final go-ahead for the actor to join the mission, due to blast-off on 31 March. But the agency's Alexander Gorbunov expressed his optimism for The Final Journey.

78. RUSSIA / SPACE A Russian movie director is hoping to film an epic story on MIR with the workingtitle Final Voyage. The movie s star actor, vladimir steklov, says the story http://www.fas.org/news/russia/2000/000120-mir1.htm

DATE=1/20/2000 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=RUSSIA / SPACE (L-ONLY) NUMBER=2-258257 BYLINE=EVE CONANT DATELINE=MOSCOW CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Russian space officials have announced that the aging space station MIR will continue operating through August and several flights are already planned. The 14-year old station has been empty and partially shut down for months. The head of Russia's space agency says private funding has been found to keep MIR in orbit and says two cosmonauts are due to fly on MIR's next mission tentatively set for March 30th. V-O-A Moscow correspondent Eve Conant spoke with space officials and with a Russian movie actor who is in training to become the third member of MIR's next crew. TEXT: A few months ago it seemed MIR's fate had been decided - the pride and joy of Russia's destitute space agency would be abandoned and programmed to crash into the Pacific Ocean. But space officials say private funding has given their beloved station a second chance. /// OPT /// One source of funding is Walt Anderson, a U-S venture capitalist who has donated millions to the station, hoping to transform it into a business park and vacation resort. He has already donated seven million dollars and promises there is more to come. /// END OPT /// Space officials say the new mission will use hardware originally destined for the Alpha international space station - the project the United States wants Russia to focus its energy and finances on instead of MIR. Space agency spokesman Sergey Gorbunov hands out little calendars to guests with a picture of the MIR titled, "Will we still fly?" He says the tens of thousands of specialists who have worked on MIR find it difficult to part with their creation. /// ACT GORBUNOV IN RUSSIAN IN FULL AND FADE UNDER /// "Everyone wants this station to fly," he says. "It is like a badge of honor for Russia. Unfortunately it's a very expensive one." The MIR has yet another function. It is a much desired set for movies about space. A Russian movie director is hoping to film an epic story on MIR with the working title "Final Voyage." The movie's star actor, Vladimir Steklov, says the story line - which more and more seems to be mirroring the MIR's real life, is about a Russian cosmonaut who is sent up to space, but then refuses to come back down. /// ACT STEKLOV IN RUSSIAN IN FULL AND FADE UNDER /// "I don't want to spoil the plot," he says. "But I play a cosmonaut who refuses to leave the MIR and instead makes an address to humanity from space." He says, "My lines are: `We need to stop and realize who we are, where we come from, why we exist and what we are doing to our common home- the earth.'" /// OPT /// The actor, a short , muscular man in his forties with chestnut hair, explains this as he puts on makeup backstage at Moscow's Estrada Theatre. This night he is not dressed as a cosmonaut. Instead, he will play a Frenchman whose costume consists of a yellow pastel sweater, loafers and brand new jeans - a Westerner whose feet are firmly planted on the stage. ///END OPT/// Mr. Steklov has not yet received the final approval to fly but has been undergoing cosmonaut training outside Moscow at Star City. He says he is in good shape and flexes his muscles, several times, to prove it. Mr. Steklov, who usually stars in Russian action-dramas, says acting in zero-gravity will be just another actor's challenge. /// SECOND ACT STEKLOV IN RUSSIAN IN FULL AND FADE UNDER /// He says, "I've done it all - I've drowned, I've been on fire." But he admits some of the cosmonaut training he has undergone has been tough. ///THIRD ACT STEKLOV IN RUSSIAN IN FULL AND FADE UNDER/// He says, "In one experiment they sit you in a chair and then it starts spinning around. After about ten minutes of spinning it feels like your brain is falling out of your head." The plan is for the two actual cosmonauts - Sergey Zaletin and Alexander Kareli - to film the scenes with the director calling the shots from Mission Control. Officials from Russia's space agency say they are awaiting word on financing, but that Mr. Steklov has started intensified training for the 45-day mission. Space agency spokesman Gorbunov says despite the actor's confidence, he is skeptical Mr. Steklov can get prepared in time. ///SECOND ACT GORBUNOV IN RUSSIAN IN FULL AND FADE UNDER/// "He needs to be training morning to night," he says. "You need to know what to touch and what is prohibited. Life is different in space - you wash yourself differently, you shave differently. You just try drinking a glass of water upside down with a giant water bubble coming out of the glass." For now, MIR is orbiting in space unmanned, its movements controlled by a ground crew. Spokesman Gorbunov and others who have spent their careers with the MIR say they are glad the space station is getting another chance - if only for a few more months.
