    Extractions: Here are some suggestions for the subject/readings of the long report due near the end of the semester in the course "Mathematics in Fiction" Ideally, the long report should be chosen to relate to the student's interests and/or major. For example, a student of history could choose to report either on mathematical fiction written before 1900 (see below) or on mathematical fiction which takes place in some historical setting; a student majoring in a science could report on some science fiction; a women's studies major could focus on the images of women in these stories or on the views of mathematics presented by female authors, etc. There are certainly many interesting topics to consider and possible combinations of works that are not included in the list of suggestions below.

    Extractions: Banach-Tarski Paradox : In 1924, two Polish mathematicians, Stefan Banach and Alfred Tarski, proved a rather peculiar result: you could decompose a sphere (or any polyhedral figure) into a finite number of pieces, then from those pieces, reconstruct a similar sphere of larger volume. Since this would imply that all volumes are the same, this upset a number of people. Cantor, Georg : German mathematician who first examined the notion of infinities and showed that not all infinities are equal: some are more equal then others. Cardano, Giralamo : Italian mathematician, best known for his Ars Magna , a compendium of algebra published in 1545 (right on the heels of Vesalius De Fabrica Corporis Humanis and Copernicus' De Revolutionibus : the 1540s were a banner decade for scientific advance.) Cardano is best known for having published in Ars Magna Niccolo Tartaglia's rule for solving cubic equations , much to Tartaglia's annoyance. (Cardano gave Tartaglia full credit, though not very loudly...in those days, practitioners of mathematics got their fame by being able to solve problems no one else could, and if every Tomas, Riccardo, and Enrico could solve a cubic, Niccolo's reputation would be worthless). Tartaglia spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Cardano. Cubic Equations Galois and Abel were able to show that solutions to the fifth or higher degree equations were impossible. Solving the cubic was fraught with

    Extractions: Mathematical Sciences The mathematical sciences have been included in the structure of the Romanian Academy from the very beginning (August 1867) as a part of the Section of Natural Sciences, which, in 1879, would become the Scientific Section. The Club of the Academy Members The list of illustrious mathematicians of the Romanian Academy begins with Spiru Haret, who, through his French doctoral thesis, brought important contributions to the field of celestial mechanics. This thesis stirred much interest during that epoch, and was even included in the celebrated treatise of the great French mathematician Henri Poincaré. More recently the name of Spiru Haret was assigned to one aspect of the lunar topography on the dark side of the Moon. As Minister of Public Instruction, he reformed the Romanian education system at every level, having been inspired by the French system, thus permitting our country to step into the modern era. Also, he foresaw the application of mathematics to sociology, drawing up the theory of social mechanics. David Emmanuel also played a major role in the same generation of forerunners. He inaugurated the research of algebraic geometry in Romania and distinguished himself through courses on the theory of functions.

55. Gef's Ambigram Gallery
    It means Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle (in french), an international groupof writers and mathematicians who explore all kinds of literary constraints.  
    http://www2.iap.fr/users/esposito/ambigallery.html
    
    Extractions: An ambigram is a word or a group of words which can be read in at least two different ways. The most usual are symmetric under a rotation of 180 degrees (i.e., they look the same upside down) or under a vertical axis reflection (i.e., they look the same in a mirror). The term "ambigram" was coined by Douglas Hofstadter and some of his friends; see pp. 274-277 of his excellent book Metamagical Themas (Basic Books, 1985). The most remarkable artist in this field is Scott Kim, in my opinion. His book Inversions (Byte Books, 1981) is notably marvelous, and his Web site displays many of his calligraphic creations. Several other impressive ambigram sites are also quoted at the bottom of the present page You will find below various ambigrams of names that I drew in 2001. [I constructed many more in the 90's, either of conceptual terms or of names, but I never scanned them nor redrew them on a computer.] Most of the following names are those of authors who like to play with words and literary constraints, and who always love the symmetry of palindromes. This is the reason why I wished to "invert" their names. The word "OuLiPo" is often quoted below. It means

    Extractions: Sir Michael Atiyah and Isadore Singer have been awarded the Abel Prize for their outstanding work in mathematics. The UK and US researchers developed what is now referred to as the Atiyah-Singer theorem about 40 years ago. It concerns the use of differential equations and has allowed physicists to develop new theories about the cosmos. The honour, from the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, was set up to mark a field of scientific endeavour that is overlooked by the Nobel Prizes. In its citation for the £480,000 prize, the academy said their theorem "is one of the great landmarks of 20th Century mathematics, influencing profoundly many of the most important later developments in topology, differential geometry and quantum field theory". In the spotlight Sir Michael, 75, works out of Edinburgh University, and Singer, 79, is attached to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The rules of nature can be expressed by differential equations, which are mathematical formulae based on rates of change.
