    Extractions: ATHGYM NOTES Solving problems is a practical art, like swimming, or skiing, or playing the piano: you can learn it only by imitation and practice. . . . if you wish to learn swimming you have to go in the water, and if you wish to become a problem solver you have to solve problems.- Mathematical Discovery George Polya was born (1887) and educated in Hungary. He obtained a PhD in mathematics from Budapest and taught in Switzerland and at Brown, Smith and Stanford Universities in the United States. He was the recipient of numerous honours and awards in mathematics, and taught and lectured in virtually every country of the world. It might be an idea to read this book if you are keen to improve your problem solving skills. It should be in your school library, if not ask your maths teacher. Anyway, here is a summary taken from G. Polya, "How to Solve It", 2nd ed., Princeton University Press, 1957, ISBN 0-691-08097-6. UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM First.

Of the three winners, Xin Zhou and Peter Sarnak will each give a presentation. Steepest Descent Method for Riemann-Hilbert Problems in Pure and Applied Mathematics Zeros of Zeta Functions and Symmetry The high zeros of a function like the Riemann zeta functions or the low zeros of families of such functions apparently obey distribution laws associated with eigenvalues of matrices in large classical groups. The speaker will give a brief review of what is known about this phenomenon and its cause. Xin Zhou, Duke University

    Extractions: The Goals of Mathematical Education by George Polya (circa 1969) (credits) At a time when university mathematicians are making important decisions about the school mathematics curriculum, perhaps it is appropriate to hear from Professor George Polya. Polya (1887-1985) was a distinguished mathematician and professor at Stanford University who made important contributions to probability theory, number theory, the theory of functions, and the calculus of variations. He was the author of the classic works How to Solve It Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning , and Mathematical Discovery , which encouraged students to become thoughtful and independent problem solvers. He was an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy, the London Mathematical Society, and the Swiss Mathematical Society, and a member of the (American) National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the California Mathematics Council, as well as a corresponding member of the Academie des Sciences in Paris. The essay that follows is a slightly edited, unpublished transcript of a videotape lecture that Professor Polya presented to my inservice and preservice mathematics education students in the late 1960s.

    Correspondence with george polya The two letters by polya (18871985) were written when he was 94. Andrew Odlyzko to george polya, December 8, 1981

    Extractions: The Hilbert-Polya Conjecture says that the Riemann Hypothesis is true because non-trivial zeros of the zeta function correspond (in a certain canonical way) to the eigenvalues of some positive operator. This conjecture is often regarded as the most promising way to prove the Riemann Hypothesis. Very little is known about its origins. Mathematical folk wisdom has usually attributed its formulation to Hilbert and Polya, independently, some time in the 1910s. However, there appears to be no published mention of it before Hugh Montgomery's 1973 paper on the pair correlation of zeros of the zeta function. Enclosed here are copies of some letters that attempted to trace the history of the Hilbert-Polya Conjecture. The first letter from Polya appears to present the only documented evidence about the origins of the conjecture. Correspondence with George Polya: The two letters by Polya (1887-1985) were written when he was 94. According to N. G. de Bruijn, at that stage in his life, Polya usually dictated letters to his wife, and only signed them himself. The fact that he wrote both letters out in his own handwriting suggests he was very interested in the subject. The account of the formulation of the conjecture in the first letter is consistent with what Polya had told Dennis Hejhal in a personal conversation. Andrew Odlyzko to George Polya, December 8, 1981

    Extractions: George Polya , an American mathematician of Hungarian origin, was born in Budapest Hungary , on December 13 , and died in Palo Alto USA on September 7 He worked on a great variety of mathematical topics, including series number theory combinatorics , and probability In his later days, he spent considerable effort on trying to characterize the general methods that we use to solve problems, and to describe how problem-solving should be taught and learned. He wrote three book on the subject: How to Solve It Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning Volume I: Induction and Analogy in Mathematics , and Mathematics of Plausible Reasoning Volume II: Patterns of Plausible Reasoning In How to Solve It , Polya provides general heuristics for solving problems of all kinds, not simply mathematical ones. The book includes advice for teaching students mathematics and a mini-encyclopedia of heuristic terms. It was translated into several languages and has sold over a million copies. Russian physicist Zhores I. Alfyorov
