CONTENTS FOREWORD 3 BIBLIOGRAPHY 9 DIRECTORY OF INSTITUTE MEMBERS, 1930-1954 205 MEMBERS WITH APPOINTMENTS OF LONG TERM 265 TRUSTEES 269 buH FOREWORD FOREWORD Publication of this bibliography marks the 25th Anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Advanced Study. The certificate of incorporation of the Institute was signed on the 20th day of May, 1930. The first academic appointments, naming Albert Einstein and Oswald Veblen as Professors at the Institute, were approved two and one- half years later, in initiation of academic work. The Institute for Advanced Study is devoted to the encouragement, support and patronage of learning—of science, in the old, broad, undifferentiated sense of the word. The Institute partakes of the character both of a university and of a research institute j but it also differs in significant ways from both. It is unlike a university, for instance, in its small size—its academic membership at any one time numbers only a little over a hundred. It is unlike a university in that it has no formal curriculum, no scheduled courses of instruction, no commitment that all branches of learning be rep- resented in its faculty and members. It is unlike a research institute in that its purposes are broader, that it supports many separate fields of study, that, with one exception, it maintains no laboratories; and above all in that it welcomes temporary members, whose intellectual development and growth are one of its principal purposes.

His unexpected death came as a tremendous shock to all who knew him. There had not been any danger signals. It was hard to realize that a person of such strong vitality was gone, that such a great mind had been extinguished by a physical failure of the body. Artin was born in Vienna on March 3,1898. He grew up in Reichen- berg, now Tschechoslovakia, then still part of the Austrian empire. His childhood seems to have been lonely. Among the happiest periods was a school year which he spent in France. What he liked best to remember was his enveloping interest in chemistry during his high school days. In his own view, his inclination towards mathematics did not show before his sixteenth year, while earlier no trace of mathe­ matical aptitude had been apparent.1 I have often wondered what kind of experience it must have been for a high school teacher to have a student such as Artin in his class. During the first world war, he was drafted into the Austrian Army. After the war, he studied at the University of Leipzig from which he received his Ph.D. in 1921. He became "Privatdozent" at the Univer­ sity of Hamburg in 1923.

  • Emil Artin in America
    MATHEMATICAL PERSPECTIVES BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 50, Number 2, April 2013, Pages 321–330 S 0273-0979(2012)01398-8 Article electronically published on December 18, 2012 CREATING A LIFE: EMIL ARTIN IN AMERICA DELLA DUMBAUGH AND JOACHIM SCHWERMER 1. Introduction In January 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party assumed control of Germany. On 7 April of that year the Nazis created the notion of “non-Aryan descent”.1 “It was only a question of time”, Richard Brauer would later describe it, “until [Emil] Artin, with his feeling for individual freedom, his sense of justice, his abhorrence of physical violence would leave Germany” [5, p. 28]. By the time Hitler issued the edict on 26 January 1937, which removed any employee married to a Jew from their position as of 1 July 1937,2 Artin had already begun to make plans to leave Germany. Artin had married his former student, Natalie Jasny, in 1929, and, since she had at least one Jewish grandparent, the Nazis classified her as Jewish. On 1 October 1937, Artin and his family arrived in America [19, p. 80]. The surprising combination of a Roman Catholic university and a celebrated American mathematician known for his gnarly personality played a critical role in Artin’s emigration to America. Solomon Lefschetz had just served as AMS president from 1935–1936 when Artin came to his attention: “A few days ago I returned from a meeting of the American Mathematical Society where as President, I was particularly well placed to know what was going on”, Lefschetz wrote to the president of Notre Dame on 12 January 1937, exactly two weeks prior to the announcement of the Hitler edict that would influence Artin directly.

  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

  • Vector Spaces
    19 Vector Spaces Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate. J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality. David Hilbert (1862–1943) Definition and Examples Abstract algebra has three basic components: groups, rings, and fields. Thus far we have covered groups and rings in some detail, and we have touched on the notion of a field. To explore fields more deeply, we need some rudiments of vector space theory that are covered in a linear alge- bra course. In this chapter, we provide a concise review of this material. Definition Vector Space A set V is said to be a vector space over a field F if V is an Abelian group under addition (denoted by 1) and, if for each a [ F and v [ V, there is an element av in V such that the following conditions hold for all a, b in F and all u, v in V. 1. a(v 1 u) 5 av 1 au 2. (a 1 b)v 5 av 1 bv 3. a(bv) 5 (ab)v 4. 1v 5 v The members of a vector space are called vectors. The members of the field are called scalars. The operation that combines a scalar a and a vector v to form the vector av is called scalar multiplication. In gen- eral, we will denote vectors by letters from the end of the alphabet, such as u, v, w, and scalars by letters from the beginning of the alpha- bet, such as a, b, c.
