It is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) who found that there is no explicit formula for the roots of a general polynomial of degree five. The financial support of the Abel Prize is comparable with the Nobel Prize, i.e., about one million American dollars. Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) M. Křížek a kol.: Prvních deset Abelových cen za matematiku, JČMF, Praha, 2013 87 Already in 1899, another famous Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie proposed to establish an Abel Prize, when he learned that Alfred Nobel would not include a prize in mathematics among his five proposed Nobel Prizes.

  • The Beauty, Power and Future of Mathematics I Am Thrilled and at The
    The Beauty, Power and Future of Mathematics I am thrilled and at the same time humble to be honored by the Doctor Honoris Causa of the University Politehnica of Bucharest. Romania is a country with a very excellent tradition of mathematics at the very best. When I was in high school in Hong Kong, I read with care an elementary book by Popa with lucid explanation and colorful illustrations of basic mathematical concepts. During my undergraduate studies at Sir George Williams University in Montreal, a professor introduced me to Barbu’s works on nonlinear differential and integral equations. I should also mention that he introduced me to the book on linear partial differential operators by Hörmander. When I was a graduate student at the University of Toronto working under the supervision of Professor Atkinson, I learned Fredholm operators from him and the works of Foias and Voiculescu from the operator theory group. I was also influenced by the school of harmonic analysts led by E. M. Stein at Princeton. When I was a visiting professor at the University of California at Irvine, I learned from Martin Schechter of the works of Foias on nonlinear partial differential equations. This education path of mine points clearly to the influence of Romanian mathematics on me, the importance of knowing in depth different but related fields and my life‐long works on pseudo‐differential operators and related topics in mathematics and quantum physics. I chose to specialize in mathematics when I was in grade 10 at Kowloon Technical School in Hong Kong dated back to 1967, not least inspired by an inspiring teacher.

  • 500 Years of Mathematics
    30TH APRIL 2019 500 Years of Mathematics PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER BUDD OBE Introduction In the 500th year since the birth of Thomas Gresham in 1519 it is an interesting exercise to ask if I was around then (OK I’m not quite that old) what would I say had happened mathematically in the last 500 years. The answer is not a lot. In Europe almost nothing new had been discovered since the Greeks. The great advances in Arabic mathematics had largely stopped at least 500 years before, and in China before then. Only in India had much been going on, including significant advances in algebra and trigonometry. However, almost none of these discoveries were known to Thomas Gresham’s contemporaries in the West. In contrast the last 500 years have seen an explosion in mathematical discovery, with the pace of discovery increasing in the 21st Century. The start of this rapid acceleration started in Thomas Gresham’s lifetime and has continued almost uninterrupted till the present day. In particular we can see the time of Thomas Gresham as being the birth both of modern algebra and also calculus, both of which dominate modern mathematics. It is thus very fitting that I can give a talk about 500 years of mathematics, as I think we can say with some justification that we are celebrating the 500th anniversary not only of the birth of Thomas Gresham but also of the birth of modern mathematics. In this talk I will try to survey what in my opinion are the really great mathematical achievements of the last 500 years.

    Mystery of the Third trip or time pressure Levanevskogo The author-composer: Kostarev Evgeny . 2007/2008 Part 1. Start "Flying high above, and the farthest the fastest! " Battle cry of the Soviet government. Shortcut In autumn 1934 the Hero of the Soviet Union, the polar marine pilot Sigismund Alexandrovich Levanevskogo enticed by the idea Flight. He was the first in the Soviet Union, who suggested the idea of non-stop flight across the North Pole. The starting point of the route was Moscow; fit to accomplish the same in the U.S. The Soviet government in this project was received with great interest and supported the idea of non-stop transpolar flight. Of course! From Moscow to San Francisco can be reached in three ways - through the pole across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. In this case, the distance will be 9,605 km, 14,000 km and 18,000 respectively. Sigismund Levanevsky Zygmunt A. Levanevsky - a very controversial figure in the history of Soviet aviation. He was born in 1902 in St. Petersburg. Levanevskogo father, a Polish worker, died when he was only 8 years old. In 1916, after graduating from three classes of the district school, Sigismund gave up teaching and went to work in a factory the company "Spring" in order to feed his family. Revolution scattered Levanevskogo the world - Sigismund in 1919, joined the Red Army, and his family moved from Petrograd. During the Civil War Levanevsky managed to get a fighter requisition, party members, eliminate gangs in Dagestan, and assistant warden 4th aeronautic squad in Petrograd.
