CALENDAR This Calendar lists all of the meetings which have been approved by the Council up to the date this issue of the c}I/;Jiiai) was sent to press. The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the American Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in most departments of mathematics; forms can also be obtained by writing to the headquarters of the Society. Abstracts to be presented at the meeting in person must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline for the meeting.

    Nikolay Luzin, His Students, Adversaries, and Defenders (Notes

    Nikolay Luzin, his students, adversaries, and defenders (notes on the history of Moscow mathematics, 1914-1936) Yury Neretin This is historical-mathematical and historical notes on Moscow mathematics 1914-1936. Nikolay Luzin was a central figure of that time. Pavel Alexandroff, Nina Bari, Alexandr Khinchin, Andrey Kolmogorov, Mikhail Lavrentiev, Lazar Lyusternik, Dmitry Menshov, Petr Novikov, Lev Sсhnirelman, Mikhail Suslin, and Pavel Urysohn were his students. We discuss the time of the great intellectual influence of Luzin (1915-1924), the time of decay of his school (1922-1930), a moment of his administrative power (1934-1936), and his fall in July 1936. But the thing which served as a source of Luzin’s inner drama turned out to be a source of his subsequent fame... Lazar Lyusternik [351] Il est temps que je m’arr ete: voici que je dis, ce que j’ai d´eclar´e, et avec raison, ˆetre inutile `adire. Henri Lebesgue, Preface to Luzin’s book, Leˇcons sur les ensembles analytiques et leurs applications, [288] Прошло сто лет и что ж осталось От сильных, гордых сих мужей, Столь полных волею страстей? Их поколенье миновалось Alexandr Pushkin ’Poltava’ There is a common idea that a life of Nikolay Luzin can be a topic of a Shakespeare drama. I am agree with this sentence but I am extremely far from an intention to realize this idea. The present text is an impassive historical-mathematical and historical investigation of Moscow mathematics of that time. On the other hand, this is more a story of its initiation and turning moments than a history of achievements.

  • Turbulence in the Skies

    Turbulence in the Skies

    C.D. Howe Institute Commentary www.cdhowe.org No. 181, April 2003 ISSN 8001-824 Turbulence in the Skies: Options for Making Canadian Airline Travel More Attractive Fred Lazar In this issue... Should it matter to Canadian travelers and Canadians in general whether any Canadian airline survives to provide domestic service? The unequivocal answer is: You bet it matters! The Study in Brief This Commentary focuses on recommendations set out by the Canada Transportation Act Review Panel on permitting foreign entry into the domestic airline market and on the competitive landscape in passenger aviation services in Canada. The paper concentrates on the scope for new entry into the Canadian market, the likelihood that new entrants might, in fact, occur if the Canadian market is opened to foreign airlines and investors and the potential market impact if that did happen. If the federal government succeeds in negotiating a more liberal agreement with the United States, the Commentary argues that there would be limited entry at best — there are a very small number of markets in Canada that provide entry opportunities — and the entry might end up displacing Canadian companies in terms of the routes they operate and the number of frequencies they provide on existing routes. Even limited entry would weaken the financial performance of Westjet Airlines Ltd., though it might actually benefit Air Canada because it could use modified existing rights to maximize the benefits of its Toronto hub within a North American market. While I fully support the recommendations of the Review Panel, I believe that the competitive consequences for the domestic Canadian market of a bilateral agreement with the United States are likely to be minimal.

The NetLetter was created in 1995 by Vesta Stevenson (RIP) and Terry Baker and is published on the second and fourth weekend of each month. If you are interested in Canadian Aviation History, and vintage aviation photos, especially as it relates to Trans-Canada Air Lines, Air Canada, Canadian Airlines International and their constituent airlines, then we're sure you'll enjoy this newsletter.

Women in Aviation Vesna Vulovic, flight attendant who survived the highest ever fall (33,000 ft) from a plane and survived has died at age 66. Vesna was working as a flight attendant on a Yugoslav Airlines DC-9 aircraft when a suspected bomb brought the plane down from 33,000 ft (10,000m) in Czechoslovakia on 26 January 1972. All of the other 27 passengers and crew on board died. According to investigators, Vesna was trapped by a food cart in the plane’s tail when the bomb exploded. She plummeted back to earth in the tail in sub-zero temperatures, where she landed on a steep, snow-covered slope near a village, which is believed to have softened her fall. She was found by woodsman Bruno Honke, who heard her screaming in the dark as the rest of the plane came crashing to the ground.

    “olga-ladyz-73” — 2004/12/15 — 10:21 — page 621 — #1 LA GACETA DE LA RSME, Vol. 7.3 (2004), 621–628 621 Olga Ladyzhenskaya and Olga Oleinik: two great women mathematicians of the 20th Century Susan Friedlander and Barbara Keyfitz This short article celebrates the contributions of women to partial dif- ferential equations and their applications. Although many women have made important contributions to this field, we have seen the recent deaths of two of the brightest stars –Olga Ladyzhenskaya and Olga Oleinik– and in their memory we focus on their work and their lives. The two Olgas had much in common and were also very different. Both were born in the 1920s in the Soviet Union and grew up during very diffi- cult years and survived the awful death and destruction of the 2nd world war. Shortly after the war they were students together at Moscow State University where they were both advised by I.G. Petrovsky, whose influ- ence on Moscow mathematics at the time was unsurpassed. Both were much influenced by the famous seminar of I.M.Gelfand and both young women received challenging problems in PDE from Gelfand. In 1947 both Olga’s graduated from Moscow State University and then their paths di- verged. Olga Oleinik remained in Moscow and continued to be supervised by Petrovsky. Her whole career was based in Moscow and after receiv- ing her PhD in 1954 she became first a professor and ultimately the Head of the department of Differential Equations at Moscow State Uni- versity. Olga Ladyzhenskaya moved in 1947 to Leningrad and her career developed at the Steklov Institute there.

The two Olgas had much in common and were also very different. Both were born in the 1920s in the Soviet Union, grew up during very difficult years and survived the awful death and destruction of the second world war. Shortly after the war, they were students together at Moscow State Uni- versity where they were both advised by I. G. Petrovsky, whose influence on Moscow mathematics at the time was unsurpassed. Both were much in- fluenced by the famous seminar of I. M. Gelfand, and both young women received challenging problems in PDE from Gelfand. In 1947, both Olgas graduated from Moscow State University, and then their paths diverged. Olga Oleinik remained in Moscow and continued to be supervised by Petro- vsky. Her whole career was based in Moscow; after receiving her Ph.D. in 1954, she became first a professor and ultimately the head of the Depart- ment of Differential Equations at Moscow State University. Olga Ladyzhen- skaya moved in 1947 to Leningrad, and her career developed at the Steklov Institute there. Like Oleinik, her mathematical achievements were very in- fluential; as a result of her work, Ladyzhenskaya overcame discrimination to become the uncontested leader of the Leningrad school of PDE.
