    Extractions: Physicist, coined the word "laser": acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Even before high school, thinking of Marconi, Bell, and Edison, Gould intended to be an inventor. During WWII, Gould worked with the Manhattan Project on the separation of uranium isotopes. By the 50's, he was a graduate student at Columbia University. On 9 Nov 1957, during a Saturday night without sleep, he had the inventor's inspiration and began to write down the principles of what he called a laser in his notebook Although Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow, also successfully developed the laser, eventually Gould gained his long-denied patent rights. Nils Bohlin Swedish engineer who invented the three-point lap and shoulder seatbelt which is considered one of the most important innovations in automobile safety . Bohlin left the aircraft industry, where he worked on jet ejector seats, including restraints, and joined AB Volvo in 1958 as safety engineer, where he invented and patented this device. In Aug 1959, Volvo was the first car manufacturer to introduce the three-point seat belt in their cars. They made this design freely available to other car manufacturers to save more lives. Bohlin holds several patents related to automotive and aviation design. Since retiring form Volvo in 1985, he continues to give lectures and present papers relating to automotive restraint issues.

    Extractions: December 1998 Sir James Lighthill, 1924-1998 Geoffrey Howson The death occured in July of James Lighthill who was President of ICMI from 1971 to 1975. Lighthill was one of the leading applied mathematicians of the century and a phenomenally gifted person. After taking a two-year B.A. at Cambridge during World War II, Lighthill went to work at a government scientific laboratory. Shortly after the war ended he moved to Manchester University where, in his early twenties and without a research degree, he was immediately appointed as a Senior Lecturer. In 1950, at the age of 26, he became Professor! In his 30s he left university work to be Director of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough and after a succesful period there returned to academic life in the 1960s. He later held Newton's old chair at Cambridge before becoming Provost (Rector) of University College, London. Lighthill's contributions to mathematics education were mainly made in the 1960s and 1970s. He was on several important committees in England and in addition to being President of ICMI at the time of the second International Congress on Mathematics Education (Exeter, England, 1972) he was also Chairman of its Organising Commit-tee. Several seminars were supported by ICMI during his term of office, the most important probably being that, held jointly with UNESCO, at Nairobi, Kenya (1974) on "Mathematics and Language". Lighthill also gave the opening plenary talk at ICME 3 (Karlsruhe, Germany).

    Extractions: INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS on MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION Mathematics is perhaps unique in occupying a central position in the education system in all countries. Its language is universal, transcending national and geographical boundaries. And yet it is probably the worst taught of all subjects, invoking a sort of reverence from those who can't do mathematics towards those who can. An awe dating back many centuries to when mathematics, thelogy and superstition were intimately linked; when, to do an arithemetical operation required great skill and knowledge. Thus it is most appropiate to have an international congress to discuss the difficulties and problems surrounding the teaching of mathematics; to compare and exchange different solutions; and to take account of the increasing applications of mathematics to many other disciplines. The first congress was held in Lyons in 1969, attracting over 600 participants. The 2nd International Congress on Mathematical Education was held in Exeter from the 29th of August to the 2nd of September 1972. There were over 1400 full members and 300 associate members; in fact, because of limited facilities, a number of people were turned away.

    Extractions: Died: 17 July 1998 in Sark, Channel Islands Sir James Lighthill was known as Michael Lighthill when he was a young man. He was educated at Winchester College and, at the age of 15 he won a scholarship to Trinity College Cambridge. However, he chose to wait until he was 17 years old before entering Trinity College which he did in 1941. He graduated with a BA in 1943, after taking a course shortened because of World War II. While at Cambridge, Lighthill met Nancy Dumaresq who was studying mathematics at Newnham College. Lighthill tried to get a job in the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough after he graduated, since Nancy already had a job there. However, he was offered a job in the Aerodynamics Division of the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington. Lighthill married Nancy in 1945, the year he finished his job at the National Physical Laboratory. Lighthill was elected a fellow of Trinity College in 1945 and he held this fellowship until 1949. In 1946 he was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at Manchester University and there he set up a very strong fluid dynamics group which soon dominated research in fluids. In 1950 Lighthill was promoted to Beyer Professor of Applied Mathematics at Manchester University.

    Extractions: ISBN 0-19-853674-7 Accurate measurements in clinical and industrial testing are often not possible. Each measurement contains what can be regarded as uncontrollable component error, leading inevitably to some right and wrong conclusions. This book describes methods that can be used to minimise the occurrence of wrong conclusions. The book presents simple statistical decision rules used initially to control the quality of industrial processes. These rules are used to describe concepts and the practical consequences of the use of statistical quality control. The book then proceeds to illustrate improvements in the properties of decision rules that can be achieved with appropriate choices of control rule parameters, test statistics and methods of control. These methods selectively utilise information contained in the test data that indicate when a change in quality level has occurred. Retail price £60.00. Copies for Institute members cost £48.00

    http://www.ima.umn.edu/biology/wkshp_abstracts/blake1.html
    
    Extractions: Cilia have many functions in the animal kingdom, some of these being cleansing, feeding, excretion, locomotion and reproduction. They occur in all phyla of the animal kingdom with the possible exception of the class Nematoda . This lecture will discuss the development of fluid mechanical models and theories that help with our understanding and interpretation of locomotion of protozoa, mucous transport in the lung, filter feeding in bivalve molluscs and gamete transport. The theoretical development requires obtaining the fundamental singularities and image systems pertinent to the system under study, the physical interpretation of them and their constructive use to model the flow fields generated by fields of cilia. Examples will also be given where basic phenomena are isolated and studied in greater detail, such as the motion of a slender body close to, and penetrating, the interface between two viscous fluids.
