  • Where, Oh Waring? the Classic Problem and Its Extensions
    Where, Oh Waring? The Classic Problem and its Extensions Brian D. Beasley Presbyterian College, Clinton, SC Brian Beasley (B.S., Emory University; M.S., University of North Carolina; Ph.D., University of South Carolina) has taught at Pres- byterian College since 1988. He became a member of the Mathe- matical Association of America in 1989 and joined ACMS in 2007. Outside the classroom, Brian enjoys family time with his wife and two sons. He is an enthusiastic Scrabble player, a not-so-avid jog- ger, and a very shaky unicyclist. In the 2009-2010 academic year, one of our mathematics majors, Olivia Hightower, became interested in the history of Edward Waring and his famous conjecture about expressing positive integers as the sum of kth powers. Olivia's investigation eventually led to her honors project on Waring's Problem, in which she focused on the history of the conjecture, the eventual proof that all positive integers may be written as the sum of at most nine cubes, and the work of Hardy and Wright in establishing lower bounds in the case of sufficiently large integers. Her research renewed her professor's own interest in Waring, leading to the following article. This paper will sketch brief outlines of Waring's life and the history behind the eventual solution to his problem. In addition, it will present some of the related questions currently being studied, such as expressing sufficiently large integers as sums of powers, sums of powers of primes, and sums of unlike powers. We begin with a short summary of the biography of Edward Waring.

Tiivistelmä — Referat — Abstract Waring’s problem is one of the two classical problems in additive number theory, the other being Goldbach’s conjecture. The aims of this thesis are to provide an elementary, purely arithmetic solution of the Waring problem, to survey its vast history and to outline a few variations to it. Additive number theory studies the patterns and properties, which arise when integers or sets of integers are added. The theory saw a new surge after 1770, just before Lagrange’s celebrated proof of the four-square theorem, when a British mathematician, Lucasian professor Edward Waring made the profound statement nowadays dubbed as Waring’s problem: for all integers n greater than one, there exists a finite integer s such that every positive integer is the sum of s nth powers of non- negative integers. Ever since, the problem has been taken up by many mathematicians and state of the art techniques have been developed — to the point that Waring’s problem, in a general sense, can be considered almost completely solved. The first section of the thesis works as an introduction to the problem. We give a profile of Edward Waring, state the problem both in its original form and using present-day language, and take a broad look over the history of the problem.

  • A Forgotten Paper on the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra
    5. Smithies 13/9/00 11:25 AM Page 333 Notes Rec. R. Soc. Lond. 54 (3), 333–341 (2000) © 2000 The Royal Society A FORGOTTEN PAPER ON THE FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA by FRANK SMITHIES 167 Huntingdon Road, Cambridge CB3 0DH, UK SUMMARY In 1798, there appeared in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society a paper by James Wood, purporting to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra, to the effect that every non-constant polynomial with real coefficients has at least one real or complex zero. Since the first generally accepted proof of this result was given by Gauss in 1799, Wood’s paper deserves careful examination. After giving a brief outline of Wood’s career, I describe the argument of his paper. His proof turns out to be incomplete as it stands, but it contains an original idea, which was to be used later, in the same context, by von Staudt, Gordan and others, without knowledge of Wood’s work. After putting Wood’s work in context, I conclude by showing how his idea can be used to prove the complex form of the fundamental theorem of algebra, stating that every non-constant polynomial with complex coefficients has at least one zero in the complex field. INTRODUCTION Professor Peter Goddard, Master of St John’s College, Cambridge, has drawn attention to a paper by James Wood, one of his predecessors, entitled ‘On the roots of equations’, which appeared in Philosophical Transactions volume 88. It was communicated by Nevil Maskelyne, F.R.S., the Astronomer Royal, and was read on 17 May 1798.1 The paper purports to prove what is usually called the fundamental theorem of algebra, stating it in the form ‘Every equation has as many roots of the form a±√(±b2) as it has dimensions’; in more modern language, the author is saying that a non- constant polynomial of degree n≥1, with real coefficients, has n real or complex zeros (some of which may be repeated).

  • The Two Substantial Mathematical Essays in the Final Volume Are One by Masani on the Work of Wiener and One by Wermer on Function Algebras
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector HM 18 REVIEWS 85 The two substantial mathematical essays in the final volume are one by Masani on the work of Wiener and one by Wermer on function algebras. Masani claims to survey about “70 percent of Wiener’s mathematical work and 25 percent of his work in the empirical realms” [3, p. 3281. The mathematics treated is remarkable in its range and imagination, particularly for the ideas that arose in his concern with problems of physics and of engineering. For one example of how far he was ahead of his time, we find on p. 312 a 1926 quote from Wiener, followed by a comment by L. Schwartz, showing that Wiener recognized the need in differential equations for the theory that ultimately became the theory of distributions. Wermer sketches a fascinating story of interplay between abstract functional analysis and classical function theory. Finally, there is a treatment of the history of (the history of) mathematics in America-parentheses seem appropriate here, where the associative law may not apply-by Merzbach, one of the assistant editors. Along with sketches of the lives and works of the pioneers, she traces the subject through periods of growth and decay. Fortunately, she sees an upswing in command now, of which these volumes bear witness. She ends with a caution to workers in the history of mathematics “to beware of both its popularity and its methodological champions” [3, p. 6641.
