Pythagoras februari 1997
Dirk Jan Struik
Met wiskunde kun je oud worden!
Het stukje over Simon Stevin in dit nummer van Pythagoras is geschreven door professor Dirk Struik. Dirk Struik is 102 jaar oud en woont in Amerika, maar is afkomstig uit Nederland. Hij is een bekende wiskundige die veel afweet van de geschiedenis van zijn vak. Zijn in 1948 verschenen boek `A Concise History of Mathematics' is inmiddels in tenminste 18 talen, waaronder het Nederlands, vertaald en er zijn ettelijke herdrukken verschenen. Struik, geboren in Rotterdam op 30 september 1894, zou gemakkelijk in het `Guinness Book of Records' kunnen staan, want ondanks het feit dat hij inmiddels 102 jaar oud is werkt hij gewoon door. Hij heeft het zelfs erg druk. Hij reist veel (in oktober jl. was hij nog even in Nederland) en hij schrijft artikelen. Dirk Struik is in allerlei opzichten een bijzonder man. Hij heeft belangrijke bijdragen aan de wetenschap geleverd en vele grote geleerden uit de 20ste eeuw, waaronder Albert Einstein, persoonlijk gekend. Hij is een wandelende encyclopedie, die vrijwel alles wat in de 20ste eeuw is gebeurd bewust heeft meegemaakt: vanaf de Boerenoorlog via de eerste wereldoorlog, de Russische revolutie, de tweede wereldoorlog tot het uiteenvallen van de Sovjet Unie. Voor zijn vertrek naar Amerika was hij politiek zeer actief in de Nederlandse arbeidersbeweging. Tijdens zijn studietijd in Leiden heeft hij zich serieus afgevraagd wat hij later moest worden: professioneel politicus voor de socialistische partij of een wiskundige met politieke interesses. Het werd het laatste: in het najaar van 1926 vertrok Struik uit Nederland omdat hij benoemd was tot hoogleraar aan het MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), een van de top-universiteiten in de Verenigde Staten. Zijn linkse sympathieen hebben hem in Amerika na de tweede wereldoorlog nog grote problemen bezorgd. Ten tijde van de heksenjacht op vermeende communisten onder McCarthy heeft hij enkele jaren geen college mogen geven.

Comité Galego do Ano Mundial das Matemáticas 2000 O persoeiro do ano Dirk Jan Struik
Dirk Jan Struik, profesor emérito en matemáticas no Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), morreu o 21 de outubro na súa casa de Belmont. Tiña 106 anos.
Nacido en Rotterdam no 1894, fillo dun profesor de matemáticas en bacharelato, o Profesor Struik xogou un importante papel nas revolucións científica e política do século XX.
Foi ós Estados Unidos en 1926 para tomar posesión dun posto de profesor no Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chegou coa súa esposa, Saly R. Ramler, unha matemática checoslovaca. Ela morreu en 1993 á idade de 99 anos.
Na súa época de bacharelato en Holanda, Struik foi socialista. Admirador das ideas marxistas, viu con bos ollos a chegada do comunismo na revolución rusa do 1917 e foi testemuña da súa caída, máis de setenta anos despois. Seguiu sendo marxista, pero non comunista, ata o remate de súa vida.
Preguntado por un xornalista holandes, algo antes do seu centésimo aniversario, se o paroxismo sanguento do comunismo lle tiña causado algunha dúbida sobre o seu marxismo, respondeu "Non, por suposto que non, porque o marxismo é un modo de vida. É o mesmo que cos cristiáns. Podes ser un bo cristián a pesar de que houbo cristiáns que cometeron crimes horribles en nome da cristiandade"
As súa crenzas costáronlle serios problemas durante o fervor anticomunista de despois da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este período foi descrito por Struik como "mitade reminiscente da Alemaña Nazi e mitade de Alicia no País das Marabillas". Foi denunciado como traidor en 1951, polo informante do FBI Herbert Philbrick, diante do Comite de Actividades Antiamericanas. Meses máis tarde foi acusado de violar a "Lei anti-anarquía" de Massachusetts.

Dirk Stuik:
A life that touches three centuries
By Nell Kathryn
How many people have lives that can claim contact with three centuries, one of which begins a new millennium? Thus will have been the life of Dirk Struik when 1999 yields to year 2000. Even fewer will have this experience after a century that encompassed work, personal joys, and professional success that earned world-wide plaudits. To usher in the new millennium has been a Struik ambition for some time. And as a self-proclaimed optimist, he looks to the coming century to move human society toward a better social and economic arrangement throughout the world - in a word, toward socialism. Who is this audacious man who, at 104 years, can smile over a pleasant turn in the conversation as he expresses his dismay at a world distraught with multiple wars on four of our five continents, and an environment heading for catastrophe even as solutions become more and more widely known. A Boston celebrity, though of Dutch origin and early training, Struik is professor emeritus of mathematics at MIT; the author of numerous books on mathematics, its history and theories; a popular lecturer and an outspoken ally of progressive causes, with a lifetime commitment to Marxist analysis. His book, Yankee Science in the Making (Dover Press), is still in print and available in book stores.

    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

    Brief van Anton Struik aan zijn broer Dirk, 8 februari 1925
    De Nederlander Anton Struik trok in 1922 samen met vele anderen naar de industriële kolonie Koezbas in Siberië, waar onder leiding van ir. S.J. Rutgers en met medewerking van Lenin een buitenlandse nederzetting was gevestigd. Beste Dirk Hendrikowitch, ... Ik ontving van je - ik denk alles wat je me stuurde, inclusief de drie Centro citta d’Italia, verpakt in een Unità, de kaart van de kamerheer van de Sua Santità, de kaart met Ruth en Milgram’s handtekening en voorts tal van prenten mitsgaders didactische artikelen. Al is het met een sisser afgelopen: het geval was ernstig. De Russen, met hun mechanische discipline, achten contributie betalen een van de eerste kenmerken er van. En vooral hier, waar het merendeel der leden—als halve analfabeten of lui die geen Russisch kennen—niet op andere wijze in staat zijn iets voor de partij te doen. De Trotzky-affaire heeft hier, hoewel laat en zwak, ook wat stof opgeworpen. Bij de Russen was het min of meer een komedie. Een slechte speech, gevolgd door een resolutie—natuurlijk een lange— dat Trotzky mis was. Bij de Amerikanen, die in ieder geval iets meer politiek ontwikkeld zijn, ging het niet zo gemakkelijk: twee avonden waren voor de discussie nodig. Merkwaardig veel waren tegen sterke verwerping van Trotzky's optreden, o.a. in sterke mate Baars.

Description: Synopsis: In this thoughtful survey, a noted historian and writer on mathematics explores the 'flowering' of science in new England from Colonial times to the Civil War. Brimming with carefully researched facts, Professor Struik's study traces the development and growth of steam navigation, the beginnings of mass production, advances in medical knowledge, the establishment of scientific schools and other advances that helped lay the foundations of American science. In simple, nontechnical language the author describes the great contributions made by Benjamin Franklin and Eli Whitney, engineers George Washington Whistler and Cyrus Field, naturalists Gray, Agassiz and Dana; medical accomplishments of Holmes, Morton and Jarvis, beginnings of Darwinism, much more.
