All sessions will be held at the m_e_e!ingug_eadquarters, the Sher1J,ton-Gibson Hotel, with the exception of those on Wednesday afternoon which will con­ vene at the University of Cincinnati. For the convenience of those attending the meetings, free bus service will be provided from the Hotel to the campus and return on Wednesday afternoon. The final time -table for this service will be available at the registration desk. An announcement of the Association Meeting also appears on pages 23- 24 of this issue of the NOTICES. The thirty-first Josiah Willard Gibbs Lecture will be delivered by Professor H. J. Muller of the Zoology Department, Indiana Uni­ versity, at 8:00P.M. on Tuesday in the Roof Garden of the Sheraton­ Gibson. The title of the lecture is Evolution by mutation. The Presidential Address will be delivered by Professor R. L. Wilder on Wednesday at 2:00 P.M. in Wilson Auditorium which is located on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Professor Wilder's lecture is entitled On a cer~ig_c:_l_<IJ>!l s>L!_C>J?Ql_Qg}cal proper­ ties. By invitation of the Committee to Select Hour Speakers for Annual and Summer Meetings, there will be two addresses. Professor Nelson Dunford will speak on A survey of_thetheory_ _Qf __ ~ectral oper­ ators at 2:00 P.M. on Tuesday in the Ballroom of the Sheraton­ Gibson. Dr. C. D. Papakyriakopoulos' address is entitled Some Qrob­ lems on 3-dimensional manifolds and is scheduled for 2:00P.M. on Thursday in the Ballroom. Sessions for contributed papers will be held in parlors adjacent to the Florentine Mezzanine Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Parlor 7 on the same floor will be available as a lounge from 9:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. each of these days except that it must be vacated between 11:30 A.M. and 2:00P.M. on Thursday for a special luncheon. If the demand warrants it, there will be special sessions for late papers publicized by a subsidiary program obtainable at the registration desk. If an author's paper is not found in these NOTICES, he should assume it failed to meet the deadline. 3 The annual business meeting and election of officers will be held on Wednesday at 3;15 P.M. in Wilson Auditorium at the Univer­ sity of Cincinnati. The Council of the Society will meet in Parlor H of the Sheraton­ Gibson at 3;15 P.M. on Tuesday. There will be a meeting of the Policy Committee on Friday at 5;00 P.M. in Parlor I. The Employment Register will be located in Parlor I and will function during business hours on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but close at 3:00 P.M. on Friday. ENTERTAINMENT AND RECREATION A tea for the attending mathematicians and their guests will be given by the University of Cincinnati on Wednesday at 4:00 P.M. in the F acuity Dining Room of the Union Building on the campus. There will be a banquet in the Roof Garden of the Sheraton­ Gibson starting at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday for members of the Society. This event is made possible by the generosity of the following compa­ nies: Avco Corporation, Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company, Cin­ cinnati Milling Machine Company, General Electric Company, Inter­ national Business Machine Corporation, Procter and Gamble Company Union Central Life Insurance Company, and Western and Southern Life Insurance Company. Tickets for the banquet may be obtained at the time of registration--there will be a $1 service charge. A bar will be located in the Roof Garden and those attending the banquet may purchase drinks. On Friday afternoon at 2:15, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra will give its regular concert with Thor Johnson conducting. The dis­ tinguished violinist Isaac Stern will be the soloist. Tickets may be purchased ahead of time at Wurlitzer's, Fourth Street, Cincinnati. The $3.25 tickets in the orchestra will be available to members of the Society at $2.50. The Cincinnati Art Museum and the Taft Museum have extended invitations to view their collections. The Art Museum offers an almost complete review of the world's great civilizations through comprehensive collections of sculpture, paintings, prints, decorative arts and the arts of the Near and Far East. REGISTRATION AND ACCOMMODATIONS Registration headquarters will be located in the Ballroom Foyer of the Sheraton-Gibson. The office will be open on Monday evening from 6:00 to 9:00, and all other days from 9:00 A.M. to 5;00 P.M. , except Friday 9:00A.M. to 3;00 P.M.

In this paper, we flesh out the historiographical tensions arising from these confrontations: longue-duree´ history and revolution; abstract mathematics and the use of mathematical techniques in various other domains. After reviewing the historiography of dynamical systems theory from Poincar´e to the 1960s, we highlight the pioneering work of a few individuals (Steve Smale, Edward Lorenz, David Ruelle). We then go on to discuss the nature of the chaos phenomenon, which, we argue, was a conceptual reconfiguration as

  • Darwin Skeptics a Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who Are Skeptical of Darwinism
    7/23/2016 Darwin Skeptics A Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who are Skeptical of Darwinism Compiled by Jerry Bergman PhD. It is commonly claimed that no scientist rejects macroevolution or Darwinism (by which is meant evolutionary naturalism, or the view that variation caused by mutations plus natural selection accounts for all life forms). For example, Dr. Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics at University College of London, wrote that “no scientist denies the central truth of The Origin, the idea of descent with modification... plants, animals and everything else descended from a common ancestor” (Jones, 2000, pp. xvii, xxiii). Other writers avoid the words “all” or “no scientist” and claim instead that “almost no scientist” rejects Darwinism as defined above. In an article refuting “wiccan creationism,” the author claimed that evolutionary theory has been confirmed to such a high degree and has such great explanatory power that it is the central organizing principle of the biological sciences today. Modern biology is basically unthinkable outside of the context of evolution and that is why it is accepted without reservations by pretty much every working scientists [sic] in the life sciences. It also isn’t really questioned in the other natural sciences, either, like physics or chemistry. The author then makes the following absolutist statement: Evolution is taken as a fact—and while there might be disagreements about some of the details of how evolution proceeds, there are no disagreements about the idea that it does occur and that it is the explanation for the diversity of life on our planet.

The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the Ameri· can Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to whi·ch no numbers have yet been assigned. Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and second announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to tout of the Notices which contains the program of the meet· ing. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society in Providence. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline given below for the meeting.
