Extractions: W hen I looked into the 1992, November issue of Fizikai Szemle in which Wigner was celebrated on his 90 th birthday, I saw the list of his well over 300 publications in all branches of physics, in chemistry and in pure mathematics. My first reaction was to withdraw from this attempt of doing him justice in a single talk. On some reflection I thought of a way out. The early years Wigner's life coincided with the 20 th century. He was almost of the same "quantum age" as Heisenberg and Pauli, however, these two were in the center of the Copenhagen School and from 1925 on were among the main architects of quantum mechanics (QM). By contrast 1925 was the year when Wigner graduated as chemical engineer in Berlin. He must have felt way behind these pioneers, yet, he soon became one of the leaders of the new discipline. Moreover we shall see that his being rooted in chemistry sheds light on some of the subtler aspects of QM. Michael Polanyi was among Wigner's mentors in chemistry. Their joint work on molecular reaction chemistry is one of the standard papers in the field. After obtaining his engineering degree Wigner returned to Budapest to work in the tanning factory where his father was director. He felt frustrated, but Polanyi came to the rescue with an invitation to Berlin to an assistantship in x-ray crystallography. Wigner resumed attendance at the physics colloquium and felt great attraction to QM. The factory had been a dead-end, but the chemical training and his sensitization to mathematics in school were positive influences, since QM was basically a novel confluence of physics, mathematics and chemistry.

Extractions: Físico y premio Nobel estadounidense Nació el 17 de noviembre de 1902 en Budapest, Hungría. Cursó estudios en la facultad de la Universidad de Princeton en 1930 y fue nacionalizado estadounidense en el año 1937. Sus aportaciones se extendieron a casi todos los campos de esta ciencia, pero, en particular, al uso de conceptos de simetría para derivar importantísimos resultados en mecánica cuántica y en relatividad. Uno de los cinco científicos que informaron al presidente Franklin D. Roosevelt en 1939 de la posible utilización militar de la energía atómica. Wigner durante la II Guerra Mundial contribuyó al diseño de reactores de plutonio. En 1963 compartió el Premio Nobel de Física con su colega alemán Hans Daniel Jensen y la física estadounidense Maria Goeppert-Mayer por explicar la estructura del núcleo atómico y por sus aportaciones a la teoría de la mecánica cuántica en relación con la naturaleza de los protones y los neutrones.
The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Natural Sciences
Reading Materials The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences. by eugene wigner. The Unreasonable Effectiveness
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/MathDrama/reading/Wigner.html

Extractions: Reading Materials by Eugene Wigner Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beautya beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry. BERTRAND RUSSELL, Study of Mathematics THERE IS A story about two friends, who were classmates in high school, talking about their jobs. One of them became a statistician and was working on population trends. He showed a reprint to his former classmate. The reprint started, as usual, with the Gaussian distribution and the statistician explained to his former classmate the meaning of the symbols for the actual population, for the average population, and so on. His classmate was a bit incredulous and was not quite sure whether the statistician was pulling his leg. "How can you know that?" was his query. "And what is this symbol here?" "Oh," said the statistician, "this is pi." "What is that?" "The ratio of the circumference of the circle to its diameter." "Well, now you are pushing your joke too far," said the classmate, "surely the population has nothing to do with the circumference of the circle."

Extractions: The present discussion is not put forward with the usual pride of the scientist who feels that he can make an addition, however small, to a problem which has aroused his and his colleagues' interest. Rather, it is a speculation of a kind which all of us feel a great reluctance to undertake: much like the speculation on the ultimate fate of somebody who is very dear to us. It is a speculation on the future of science itself, whether it will share, at some very distant future, the fate of "Alles was entsteht ist wert dass es zu Grunde geht." (All that exists is worthy of passing away.) Naturally, in such a speculation one wishes to assume the best of conditions for one's subject and disregard the danger of an accident that may befall it, however real that danger may be. The most remarkable thing about Science is its youth. The earliest beginning of chemistry, as we now know it, certainly does not antedate Boyle's Sceptical Chemist, which appeared in 1661. More probably, one would place the birthyear of chemistry around the years of activity of Lavoisier, between 1770 and 1790, or count its years from Dalton's law in 1808. Physics is somewhat older; Newton's Principia, a rather finished work, became available in 1687. Archimedes discovered laws of physics around 250 B.C., but his discoveries hardly can be called the real beginning of physics. On the whole, one is probably safe in saying that Science is less than 300 years old. This number has to be compared with the age of Man, which is certainly greater than 100,000 years.
