Extractions: by Karen Shenfeld In his book Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times, American mathematician Morris Kline notes that no branch of mathematics, or even a major result, has arisen from the work of one man; at best, some decisive step may be credited to a single individual. The cumulative nature of the development of mathematics is especially evident in the history of non-Euclidean geometry. A complete account, such as Robert Bonola's Non-Euclidean Geometry, would have to consider the accomplishments of Gerolamo Saccheri (1667-1733), Georg S. Klugel (1739-1812), Heinrich Lambert (1728-1777), Ferdinand Karl Schweikart (1780-1859), and Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). By the age of 15, Gauss had apparently grasped the idea that there could be invented a logically consistent geometry that was different from Euclid's. He began work on the creation of such a geometry around 1813, and there is evidence that he was successful. But because he never published any fully developed mathematical exposition of his work, historians of mathematics do not credit him as the discoverer of non-Euclidean geometry. That honour is usually reserved for two mathematicians who independently achieved results about the same time: Janos Bolyai and N.I. Lobacevskii. There is some indication that Bolyai, a Hungarian, had realized his ideas on non-Euclidean geometry by 1825. In a letter to his father, the mathematician Wolfgang Farkas Bolyai, dated November 23, 1823, he wrote, "I have made such wonderful discoveries that I myself am lost in astonishment." He did not, however, publish his results - encapsulated in a 26-page paper entitled "The Science of Absolute Space" - until 1832. The first mathematician to publish a definitive work on non-Euclidean geometry was Nikolai Ivanovich Lobacevskii. His paper, "On the Foundations of Geometry," appeared in the Journal of the University of Kazan in 1829. He continued to develop and propagate his ideas in a series of papers, culminating in the "Pangeometrie" (1855), which he dictated as a blind old man who still retained his energy and strength of mind. He was, without doubt, Russia's first great mathematician.

Extractions: The Famous Ukrainians List is a list of over three hundred people with links discussing their contributions. The people listed were either born in what are today's boundaries of Ukraine, or were/are of Ukrainian ancestry. The emphasis is on people who would be known OUTSIDE Ukraine within their particular area of specialization. There is no claim that all the people listed are "ethnically" Ukrainian but they all have some Ukrainian connection. This list is maintained by Dr. Myron Hlynka , Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Windsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada. hlynka@uwindsor.ca If you are interested in the Mathematics and Statistics program at the University of Windsor, click HERE. The concept for The Famous Ukrainians Web Page came from the Montreal ukemonde (www.ukemonde.com) former list of Montreal famous Ukrainians, from the nomination form of Dr. Roman Yereniuk for the World's hundred most important Ukrainians, as suggested in the Ukrainian Voice newspaper in December, 1999, and from an article in the Spring, 2000 issue of FORUM: A Ukrainian Review , (Number 101), written by Andrew Gregorovich. That article, titled "Hall of Fame of Ukraine," is highly recommended. There is some order in our list. It includes sports, art, science, literature, history, music, politics, movies and TV, religion. The highly regarded multi volumed English language

Luzin There was a mathematics student at the university, pavel Florensky, who experienceda crisis The next students included PS urysohn, AN Kolmogorov, NK Bari, LA http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Luzin.html
Extractions: Nikolai Nikolaevich Luzin was born in Irkutsk, and his birthplace was not, as is incorrectly stated in a number of sources, Tomsk. Nikolai's father was a businessman, half Russian and half Buryat. Nikolai was the only son of his parents and the family moved to Tomsk when he was about eleven years old so that he could attend the Gymnasium there. One might expect that Nikolai would have shown a special talent for mathematics at the Gymnasium, but this was far from the case ([15] and [16]):- This was because the system of instruction ... was based on mechanical memory: it was required to learn the theorems by heart and to reproduce their proofs exactly. For Luzin this was torture. His progress in mathematics at the Gymnasium became worse and worse, so that his father was obliged to engage a tutor ... Fortunately the tutor was a talented young man who quickly discovered that, despite Luzin's poor performance in mathematics, he could solve hard problems but often using a novel method that the tutor had never seen before. Soon the tutor had shown Luzin that mathematics was not a subject where one had to learn long lists of facts, but a topic where creativity and imagination played a major role.

Extractions: ABSTRACT. Let A and B be modules, which are faithfully flat over their endomorphism ring. The categories of A-solvable and B-solvable modules coincide if and only if A and B are similar. While similar modules have Morita equivalent endomorphism rings, the failure of the converse raises the question which module-theoretic properties are shared by modules with equivalent endomorphism rings. This paper addresses this question by investigating equivalences between full subcategories of the categories of A- and B-solvable modules, respectively. In particular, every equivalence between the category of A-solvable and the category of B-solvable modules is induced by a Morita equivalence between E(A) and E(B) if A and B are faithfully flat as modules over their endomorphism ring. Several examples show that these results may fail without the faithfulness condition.

Extractions: Contrary to his testimony in the Paula Jones sexual-harassment case, President Bill Clinton acknowledges to prosecutors from the office of Independent Counsel Ken Starr that he had had an extramarital affair with ex-White House intern Monica Lewinsky. In four hours of closed-door testimony, conducted in the Map Room of the White House, Clinton speaks live via closed-circuit television to a grand jury in a nearby federal courthouse. He is the first sitting president to ever testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct. That evening, President Clinton gives a four-minute televised address to the nation in which he admits he had an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky. In the brief speech, which is filled of legalisms, the word "sex" is absent and the word "regret" is only used in reference to his admission that he misled the public and his family. In April of 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon. That summer, she first confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her sexual relationship with the president. In 1997, with that relationship ended, Tripp began to secretly record conversations with Lewinsky in which she gave details about the affair. In December, Lewinsky was subpoenaed by lawyers for Paula Jones, who was suing the president on sexual harassment charges.
