    THE BOOK WAS DRENCHED 00 S< OU_1 60514 > CD CO THE CARUS MATHEMATICAL MONOGRAPHS Published by THE MATHEMATICAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA Publication Committee GILBERT AMES BLISS DAVID RAYMOND CURTISS AUBREY JOHN KEMPNER HERBERT ELLSWORTH SLAUGHT CARUS MATHEMATICAL MONOGRAPHS are an expression of THEthe desire of Mrs. Mary Hegeler Carus, and of her son, Dr. Edward H. Carus, to contribute to the dissemination of mathe- matical knowledge by making accessible at nominal cost a series of expository presenta- tions of the best thoughts and keenest re- searches in pure and applied mathematics. The publication of these monographs was made possible by a notable gift to the Mathematical Association of America by Mrs. Carus as sole trustee of the Edward C. Hegeler Trust Fund. The expositions of mathematical subjects which the monographs will contain are to be set forth in a manner comprehensible not only to teach- ers and students specializing in mathematics, but also to scientific workers in other fields, and especially to the wide circle of thoughtful people who, having a moderate acquaintance with elementary mathematics, wish to extend their knowledge without prolonged and critical study of the mathematical journals and trea- tises. The scope of this series includes also historical and biographical monographs.

We are interested to know whether this phenomenon, and its close cousin repeated discovery, give rise to meaningful questions regarding causes, trends, categories, etc.

How this was complished is shown with three examples of careers of famous mathematicians. 1 Introduction This symposium is dedicated to the development of mathematics in the Austro- Hungarian monarchy in the time from 1850 to 1914. At the beginning of this period, in the middle of the 19th century the level of teaching and researching mathematics was very low – with a few exceptions – due to the influence of the jesuits in former centuries, and due to the reclusive period in the first half of the 19th century. But even in this time many efforts were taken to establish a higher education.

Softcover. 17 x 24 cm. 78.00 Euro The origins of dynamical systems trace back to flows and differential equations, and this is a modern text and reference on dynamical systems in which continuous-time dynamics is primary. It addresses needs unmet by modern books on dynamical systems, which largely focus on discrete time. Students have lacked a useful introduction to flows, and researchers have difficulty finding references to cite for core results in the theory of flows. Even when these are known substantial diligence and consulta- tion with experts is often needed to find them. This book presents the theory of flows from the topological, smooth, and measurable points of view. The first part introduces the general topological and ergodic theory of flows, and the second part presents the core theory of hyperbolic flows as well as a range of recent developments.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1992 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. SOLOMON LEFSCHETZ September 3, 1884-October 5, 1972 BY PHILLIP GRIFFITHS, DONALD SPENCER, AND GEORGE WHITEHEAD1 OLOMON LEFSCHETZ was a towering figure in the math- Sematical world owing not only to his original contribu- tions but also to his personal influence. He contributed to at least three mathematical fields, and his work reflects throughout deep geometrical intuition and insight. As man and mathematician, his approach to problems, both in life and in mathematics, was often breathtakingly original and creative. PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL HISTORY Solomon Lefschetz was born in Moscow on September 3, 1884. He was a son of Alexander Lefschetz, an importer, and his wife, Vera, Turkish citizens. Soon after his birth, his parents left Russia and took him to Paris, where he grew up with five brothers and one sister and received all of his schooling. French was his native language, but he learned Russian and other languages with remarkable fa- cility. From 1902 to 1905, he studied at the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, graduating in 1905 with the de- gree of mechanical engineer, the third youngest in a class of 220. His reasons for entering that institution were com- plicated, for as he said, he had been "mathematics mad" since he had his first contact with geometry at thirteen.

  • Algebraic Properties of Groups
    Summer Research Summary Saman Gharib∗ properties came from Artin’s genius approach to organize group ele- ments into some special intuitive form, known as Artin’s combing. Now During my discussions with Prof.Rolfsen we studied mostly on algebraic the general property is if you remove bunch of hyperplane in R2n and properties of groups1. We encountered many interesting groups. To compute the first homotopy group of this space, it can be shown that it name a few, Artin and Coxeter groups, Thompson group, group of ori- decomposes into semi-direct product of bunch of free groups . entation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line or [0,1], group of germs of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of real line fixing one fact.

Introduction If p is a prime and A is an abelian group, then A is said to have exponent pn at the prime p if pn annihilates the p torsion of A and it is the least such power. A topological space X has exponent pn if if this is the least power which annihilates the p torsion in all the homotopy groups of X. The proof of the exact result for the homotopy exponent of an odd primary Moore space is one which always made me feel uneasy. You know you are on dangerous ground when you have trouble recalling why some of things you have written are true. It was with some trepidation that I dealt with Brayton Gray's questions about this work. Some serious mistakes were found. But they were not fatal, except for the 3-primary case. Modulo the 3-primary case, the proof has survived this test and it has even improved under Brayton's insightful questioning.
