Extractions: Cole Prize This entry contributed by Margherita Barile The American Mathematical Society awards two prizes named in honor of Prof. Frank Nelson Cole, a senior member of the AMS who made a bequest to the society in 1928 upon his retirement. This bequest was subsequently augmented by Frank's son Charles. The Cole Prizes are awarded at regular intervals for outstanding contributions in algebra and number theory Among prominent mathematicians to have received the award were Walter Feit and John G. Thompson (1965, in recognition for the Feit-Thompson theorem in group theory ), Michel Raynaud and David Harbater (1995, for their solution of Abhyankar's conjecture ), and Andrew J. Wiles (1997, for his proof of Fermat's last theorem ). A complete list of winners is given in the table below.

Marion D. Cohen, Review Of Conversations With A Mathematician
american Mathematical Monthly, AugustSeptember 2003, pp. 650-652. Conversationswith a Mathematician Math, Art, Science and the Limits of Reason.
http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/CDMTCS/chaitin/amm.html

Extractions: Math, Art, Science and the Limits of Reason This book is a collection of nontechnical lectures by, and interviews of, the mathematician Gregory J. Chaitin. His style in both these settings is extremely clear and personable. What also emerges clearly is the joy he finds in his work, along with positive attitudes towards findings that have been interpreted by some as negative, even disturbing. His attitude is encapsulated in these sentences from the last page of the book: "What if the degree of intelligence needed to begin to understand the universe surpasses our own by as much as our intelligence surpasses that of an ant... ? Well, we have to try to do it anyway." What first drew me to this book was the clause from its catalog description: "Chaitin discovered mathematical facts that are true for no reason, that are true by accident." It brought me back to my own high-school years, when I asked, "If a thing is true, is that because it could not possibly not be true?" and "If it is possible for there to be an odd perfect number

Extractions: and non-technical lectures and interviews G. J. Chaitin is at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in New York. He has shown that God plays dice not only in quantum mechanics, but even in the foundations of mathematics, where Chaitin discovered mathematical facts that are true for no reason, that are true by accident. This book collects his most wide-ranging and non-technical lectures and interviews, and it will be of interest to anyone concerned with the philosophy of mathematics, with the similarities and differences between physics and mathematics, or with the creative process and mathematics as an art. ``Chaitin has put a scratch on the rock of eternity.''

http://intranet.woodvillehs.sa.edu.au/pages/resources/maths/History/MShstry.htm

Extractions: It appears that the idea for a mathematical society in the United States came from a visit T S Fiske made to England where he visited Cambridge. He arrived with letters of introduction to Cayley Glaisher Forsyth and Darwin . Fiske writes:- Scientifically I benefited most from my contacts with Forsyth and from my reading with Dr H W Richmond , who consented to give me private lessons. However, from Dr Glaisher , who made me an intimate friend, who spent many an evening with me in heart to heard talks, who took me to meetings of the London Mathematical Society and the Royal Astronomical Society, and entertained me with gossip about scores of contemporary and earlier mathematicians, I gained more in a general way than from anyone else. Back in New York Fiske organised a meeting on 24 November 1888 to discuss creating the New York Mathematical Society. He invited to the meeting his fellow students Jacoby and Stabler, his professor from Columbia University J H Van Amringe , Professor Rees and a graduate student Maclay.

Extractions: UC Irvine home Home PaHome Page RESEARCH PERSONNEL GRADUATE PROGRAM COLLOQUIA ... IN PRINT The Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences (IMBS) in the School of Social Sciences is a specialized research center where the objective is to facilitate interaction and common research goals among scientists whose purpose is to formulate precisely and test theories of human behavior; this is to be interpreted in a wide sense as manifested by the membership which spans the following areas: anthropology, cognitive science, economics, engineering, logic and the philosophy of science, mathematics, political science, and sociology. Additional faculty come from management science and psychobiology. To describe our focus, consider the fruitful symbiotic relationship that has existed for millennia between mathematics and the physical sciences. A goal of the IMBS is to generate a similar relationship between mathematics and the behavioral and social sciences. With high-power social scientists (several are members of the National Academy) providing insights about the field and working with the mathematicians who are involved, new mathematical approaches to analyze these issues are being developed and new kinds of mathematical questions are being raised.
