Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • The Annotated Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
    The Annotated Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Hollis Robbins A Choose to Read Ohio Toolkit About the Book Declared worthless and dehumanizing by the novelist and critic James Baldwin in 1955, Uncle Tom's Cabin has lacked literary credibility for over fifty years. In this refutation of Baldwin, co-editors Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Hollis Robbins affirm the literary transcendence of Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 masterpiece. As Gates and Robbins underscore, there has never been a single work of fiction that has had a greater effect on American history than Uncle Tom's Cabin . Along with a variety of historical images and an expanded introductory essay, Gates and Robbins have richly edited the original text with hundreds of annotations which illuminate life in the South during nineteenth-century slavery, the abolitionist movement and the influential role played by devout Christians. They also offer details on the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the Underground Railroad, Stowe's literary motives, her writing methods, and the novel's wide-ranging impact on the American public. About the Author and Editors Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known for her first book, Uncle Tom's Cabin ( 1852). Begun as a serial for the Washington anti-slavery weekly, the National Era , it focused public interest on the issue of slavery, and was deeply controversial. In writing the book, Stowe drew on personal experience. She was familiar with slavery, the antislavery movement, and the Underground Railroad. Kentucky, across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, Ohio, where Stowe had lived, was a slave state.

  • Apollonian Circle Packings: Dynamics and Number Theory
    APOLLONIAN CIRCLE PACKINGS: DYNAMICS AND NUMBER THEORY HEE OH Abstract. We give an overview of various counting problems for Apol- lonian circle packings, which turn out to be related to problems in dy- namics and number theory for thin groups. This survey article is an expanded version of my lecture notes prepared for the 13th Takagi lec- tures given at RIMS, Kyoto in the fall of 2013. Contents 1. Counting problems for Apollonian circle packings 1 2. Hidden symmetries and Orbital counting problem 7 3. Counting, Mixing, and the Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure 9 4. Integral Apollonian circle packings 15 5. Expanders and Sieve 19 References 25 1. Counting problems for Apollonian circle packings An Apollonian circle packing is one of the most of beautiful circle packings whose construction can be described in a very simple manner based on an old theorem of Apollonius of Perga: Theorem 1.1 (Apollonius of Perga, 262-190 BC). Given 3 mutually tangent circles in the plane, there exist exactly two circles tangent to all three. Figure 1. Pictorial proof of the Apollonius theorem 1 2 HEE OH Figure 2. Possible configurations of four mutually tangent circles Proof. We give a modern proof, using the linear fractional transformations ^ of PSL2(C) on the extended complex plane C = C [ f1g, known as M¨obius transformations: a b az + b (z) = ; c d cz + d where a; b; c; d 2 C with ad − bc = 1 and z 2 C [ f1g. As is well known, a M¨obiustransformation maps circles in C^ to circles in C^, preserving angles between them.

  • SPATIAL STATISTICS of APOLLONIAN GASKETS 1. Introduction Apollonian Gaskets, Named After the Ancient Greek Mathematician, Apollo
    SPATIAL STATISTICS OF APOLLONIAN GASKETS WEIRU CHEN, MO JIAO, CALVIN KESSLER, AMITA MALIK, AND XIN ZHANG Abstract. Apollonian gaskets are formed by repeatedly filling the interstices between four mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. We experimentally study the nearest neighbor spacing, pair correlation, and electrostatic energy of centers of circles from Apol- lonian gaskets. Even though the centers of these circles are not uniformly distributed in any `ambient' space, after proper normalization, all these statistics seem to exhibit some interesting limiting behaviors. 1. introduction Apollonian gaskets, named after the ancient Greek mathematician, Apollonius of Perga (200 BC), are fractal sets obtained by starting from three mutually tangent circles and iter- atively inscribing new circles in the curvilinear triangular gaps. Over the last decade, there has been a resurgent interest in the study of Apollonian gaskets. Due to its rich mathematical structure, this topic has attracted attention of experts from various fields including number theory, homogeneous dynamics, group theory, and as a consequent, significant results have been obtained. Figure 1. Construction of an Apollonian gasket For example, it has been known since Soddy [23] that there exist Apollonian gaskets with all circles having integer curvatures (reciprocal of radii). This is due to the fact that the curvatures from any four mutually tangent circles satisfy a quadratic equation (see Figure 2). Inspired by [12], [10], and [7], Bourgain and Kontorovich used the circle method to prove a fascinating result that for any primitive integral (integer curvatures with gcd 1) Apollonian gasket, almost every integer in certain congruence classes modulo 24 is a curvature of some circle in the gasket.
