  • A MATHEMATICIAN's SURVIVAL GUIDE 1. an Algebra Teacher I
    A MATHEMATICIAN’S SURVIVAL GUIDE PETER G. CASAZZA 1. An Algebra Teacher I could Understand Emmy award-winning journalist and bestselling author Cokie Roberts once said: As long as algebra is taught in school, there will be prayer in school. 1.1. An Object of Pride. Mathematician’s relationship with the general public most closely resembles “bipolar” disorder - at the same time they admire us and hate us. Almost everyone has had at least one bad experience with mathematics during some part of their education. Get into any taxi and tell the driver you are a mathematician and the response is predictable. First, there is silence while the driver relives his greatest nightmare - taking algebra. Next, you will hear the immortal words: “I was never any good at mathematics.” My response is: “I was never any good at being a taxi driver so I went into mathematics.” You can learn a lot from taxi drivers if you just don’t tell them you are a mathematician. Why get started on the wrong foot? The mathematician David Mumford put it: “I am accustomed, as a professional mathematician, to living in a sort of vacuum, surrounded by people who declare with an odd sort of pride that they are mathematically illiterate.” 1.2. A Balancing Act. The other most common response we get from the public is: “I can’t even balance my checkbook.” This reflects the fact that the public thinks that mathematics is basically just adding numbers. They have no idea what we really do. Because of the textbooks they studied, they think that all needed mathematics has already been discovered.

  • MY UNFORGETTABLE EARLY YEARS at the INSTITUTE Enstitüde Unutulmaz Erken Yıllarım
    MY UNFORGETTABLE EARLY YEARS AT THE INSTITUTE Enstitüde Unutulmaz Erken Yıllarım Dinakar Ramakrishnan `And what was it like,’ I asked him, `meeting Eliot?’ `When he looked at you,’ he said, `it was like standing on a quay, watching the prow of the Queen Mary come towards you, very slowly.’ – from `Stern’ by Seamus Heaney in memory of Ted Hughes, about the time he met T.S.Eliot It was a fortunate stroke of serendipity for me to have been at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, twice during the nineteen eighties, first as a Post-doctoral member in 1982-83, and later as a Sloan Fellow in the Fall of 1986. I had the privilege of getting to know Robert Langlands at that time, and, needless to say, he has had a larger than life influence on me. It wasn’t like two ships passing in the night, but more like a rowboat feeling the waves of an oncoming ship. Langlands and I did not have many conversations, but each time we did, he would make a Zen like remark which took me a long time, at times months (or even years), to comprehend. Once or twice it even looked like he was commenting not on the question I posed, but on a tangential one; however, after much reflection, it became apparent that what he had said had an interesting bearing on what I had been wondering about, and it always provided a new take, at least to me, on the matter. Most importantly, to a beginner in the field like I was then, he was generous to a fault, always willing, whenever asked, to explain the subtle aspects of his own work.

    Robert P. Langlands receives the Abel Prize The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2018 to Robert P.

Langlands has been awarded the Abel Prize project in modern mathematics has as wide a scope, has for his work dating back to January 1967. He was then produced so many deep results, and has so many people a 30-year-old associate professor at Princeton, working working on it. Its depth and breadth have grown and during the Christmas break. He wrote a 17-page letter the Langlands program is now frequently described as a to the great French mathematician André Weil, aged 60, grand unified theory of mathematics. outlining some of his new mathematical insights.

The Commodity and Energy Markets annual conference 2017 is the latest in a long standing series of meetings. Our first workshop was held in London in 2004, and after that we expanded the scope and held yearly conferences in different locations across Europe. Nowadays, the Commodity and Energy Markets conference is the benchmark meeting for academics who work in this area. This year’s event covers a wide range of topics in commodities and energy. We highlight three keynote talks. Prof Hendrik Bessembinder (Arizona State University) will talk on “Measuring returns to those who invest in energy through futures”, and Prof Sebastian Jaimungal (University of Toronto) will talk about “Stochastic Control in Commodity & Energy Markets: Model Uncertainty, Algorithmic Trading, and Future Directions”. Moreover, Tony Cocker, E.ON’s Chief Executive Officer, will share his views and insights into the role of mathematical modelling in the energy industry. In addition to the over 100 talks, a panel of academics and professional experts will discuss “The future of energy trading in the UK and Europe: a single energy market?” The roundtable is sponsored by the Italian Association of Energy Suppliers and Traders (AIGET) and European Energy Retailers (EER).

  • Andrew Wiles and Fermat's Last Theorem
    Andrew Wiles and Fermat's Last Theorem Ton Yeh A great figure in modern mathematics Sir Andrew Wiles is renowned throughout the world for having cracked the problem first posed by Fermat in 1637: the non-existence of positive integer solutions to an + bn = cn for n ≥ 3. Wiles' famous journey towards his proof { the surprising connection with elliptic curves, the apparent success, the discovery of an error, the despondency, and then the flash of inspiration which saved the day { is known to layman and professional mathematician alike. Therefore, the fact that Sir Andrew spent his undergraduate years at Merton College is a great honour for us. In this article we discuss simple number-theoretic ideas relating to Fermat's Last Theorem, which may be of interest to current or prospective students, or indeed to members of the public. Easier aspects of Fermat's Last Theorem It goes without saying that the non-expert will have a tough time getting to grips with Andrew Wiles' proof. What follows, therefore, is a sketch of much simpler and indeed more classical ideas related to Fermat's Last Theorem. As a regrettable consequence, things like algebraic topology, elliptic curves, modular functions and so on have to be omitted. As compensation, the student or keen amateur will gain accessible insight from this section; he will also appreciate the shortcomings of these classical approaches and be motivated to prepare himself for more advanced perspectives. Our aim is to determine what can be said about the solutions to an + bn = cn for positive integers a; b; c.

It is fundamental in our purpose, and our express desire, that in the appointments to the staff and faculty, as well as in the admission of workers and students, no account shall be taken, directly or indirectly, of race, religion, or sex. We feel strongly that the spirit characteristic of America at its noblest, above all the pursuit of higher learning, cannot admit of any conditions as to personnel other than those designed to pro- mote the objects for which this institution is established, and particularly with no regard whatever to accidents of race, creed, or sex. —Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld, in a letter, dated June 4, 1930, to the Institute’s Trustees. 2 I NSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY CONTENTS Institute Mission and History . 4 School of Historical Studies . 6 School of Mathematics . 24 School of Natural Sciences . 43 School of Social Science . 58 Program in Interdisciplinary Studies . 68 Artist-in-Residence Program . 70 Director’s Visitors . 71 Trustees and Officers of the Board and of the Corporation . 72 Administration . 76 Past Directors and Faculty . 79 Index . 80 3 I NSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY INSTITUTE FOR ADVANCED STUDY MISSION AND HISTORY The Institute for Advanced Study is one of the world’s leading centers for theoretical research and intellectual inquiry.
