  • Implications for Understanding the Role of Affect in Mathematical Thinking
    Mathematicians and music: Implications for understanding the role of affect in mathematical thinking Rena E. Gelb Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Rena E. Gelb All Rights Reserved Abstract Mathematicians and music: Implications for understanding the role of affect in mathematical thinking Rena E. Gelb The study examines the role of music in the lives and work of 20th century mathematicians within the framework of understanding the contribution of affect to mathematical thinking. The current study focuses on understanding affect and mathematical identity in the contexts of the personal, familial, communal and artistic domains, with a particular focus on musical communities. The study draws on published and archival documents and uses a multiple case study approach in analyzing six mathematicians. The study applies the constant comparative method to identify common themes across cases. The study finds that the ways the subjects are involved in music is personal, familial, communal and social, connecting them to communities of other mathematicians. The results further show that the subjects connect their involvement in music with their mathematical practices through 1) characterizing the mathematician as an artist and mathematics as an art, in particular the art of music; 2) prioritizing aesthetic criteria in their practices of mathematics; and 3) comparing themselves and other mathematicians to musicians. The results show that there is a close connection between subjects’ mathematical and musical identities. I identify eight affective elements that mathematicians display in their work in mathematics, and propose an organization of these affective elements around a view of mathematics as an art, with a particular focus on the art of music.

  • Fundamental Theorems in Mathematics
    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 243 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were writ- ten down. Since [556] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context" we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The num- ber of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable" theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For literature on general mathematics, see [193, 189, 29, 235, 254, 619, 412, 138], for history [217, 625, 376, 73, 46, 208, 379, 365, 690, 113, 618, 79, 259, 341], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [12, 529, 201, 182, 17, 672, 673, 44, 204, 190, 245, 446, 616, 303, 201, 2, 127, 146, 128, 502, 261, 172]. For comprehensive overviews in large parts of math- ematics, [74, 165, 166, 51, 593] or predictions on developments [47]. For reflections about mathematics in general [145, 455, 45, 306, 439, 99, 561]. Encyclopedic source examples are [188, 705, 670, 102, 192, 152, 221, 191, 111, 635].

  • IWOTA 2010 Book of Abstracts
    IWOTA 2010 July 12–16 Technische Universit¨atBerlin Book of Abstracts Some boundary value problems for operator-differential equations of mixed type and their applications to inverse problems N.L. Abasheeva First we consider the questions on existence and uniqueness of a so- lution to the boundary value problem B(t)ut = L(t)u + f(t), t ∈ (0,T ), T < ∞, u(T ) − u(0) = u0. Here B(t) are self-adjoint operators and L(t) are uniformly dissipative operators acting in a complex Hilbert space E with the inner product (·, ·) and the norm k · k. The operator B(t) can be noninvertible and has arbitrary arrangement of the spectrum. Then we apply obtained results to the following linear inverse problem: to find a function u(t) and an element ϕ satisfying the equation B(t)ut = Lu + f(t) + B(0)ϕ and the boundary conditions u(0) = u0, u(T ) = u1. Trace formula in perturbation theory V. Adamyan In this talk we discuss some old and recent results on the trace formula of perturbation theory in Hilbert and Krein spaces and the contribution of Heinz Langer to the elaboration of this issue. 3 Quasiconformal mappings associated with Gahov’s equation in inverse boundary value problems A. Akhmetova The question on the quantity of roots of so called Gahov’s equation is of importance for the theory of inverse boundary value problems, because it determines the quantity of decisions of that problems. As known, it coincides with the number N of extreme points of conformal radius. R ≡ R(D, z) = |f 0(ζ)|(1 − |ζ|2), (1) where z = f(ζ), ζ ∈ E = {ζ : |ζ| < 1},D = f(E).

In 1661 the Polish King Jan Kazimierz granted the title of University to the Collegium. The building of the former Jesuit convictus was given to the Lviv university in 1851. In 1920, the Lviv University moved to the former building of the Galician Parliament. In times of Banach, mathematicians worked in this building. Many brilliant mathematicians worked at the Lviv University during its long history. The most famous is of course Stefan Banach. But the phenomenon of Banach and Lwów mathematical school could not appear without intensive preliminary work of mathematicians of Austrian time. Stefan Banach (1892 – 1945) A key role in development of Lviv mathematics in Austrian time belongs to Józef Puzyna, professor of mathematics, brilliant lector and organizer of science, Rector of the Lviv university in 1905.

Short stories Our emigration from the USSR I write this in 2020. We came to Israel in 1973. Many years have passed since then, and I forgot almost everything about it. But some events that were part of this story were so dramatic and difficult that I still remember them vividly. On the emotional level it all began with the Six-Day War in 1967. We became proud of Israel and ourselves. But it was not possible even to think about leaving for Israel from Chernogolovka, a restricted (“closed”) academic town where we lived at that time. Various events had an emotional impact on us. But the strongest impetus was external. My cousin, an Israeli-born Uri Shafrir, suddenly came to see us as part of a very large group of academics from the US.

    SOME FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS IN MATHEMATICS OLIVER KNILL Abstract. An expository hitchhikers guide to some theorems in mathematics. Criteria for the current list of 200 theorems are whether the result can be formulated elegantly, whether it is beautiful or useful and whether it could serve as a guide [6] without leading to panic. The order is not a ranking but ordered along a time-line when things were written down. Since [431] stated “a mathematical theorem only becomes beautiful if presented as a crown jewel within a context” we try sometimes to give some context. Of course, any such list of theorems is a matter of personal preferences, taste and limitations. The number of theorems is arbitrary, the initial obvious goal was 42 but that number got eventually surpassed as it is hard to stop, once started. As a compensation, there are 42 “tweetable” theorems with included proofs. More comments on the choice of the theorems is included in an epilogue. For litera- ture on general mathematics, see [158, 154, 26, 190, 204, 478, 330, 114], for history [179, 484, 304, 62, 43, 170, 306, 296, 535, 95, 477, 68, 208, 275], for popular, beautiful or elegant things [10, 406, 163, 149, 15, 518, 519, 41, 166, 155, 198, 352, 475, 240, 163, 2, 104, 121, 105, 389]. For comprehensive overviews in large parts of mathematics, [63, 138, 139, 47, 458] or predictions on developments [44]. For reflections about mathematics in general [120, 358, 42, 242, 350, 87, 435]. Encyclopedic source examples are [153, 547, 516, 88, 157, 127, 182, 156, 93, 489].
