    The Quest for Pi David H. Bailey, Jonathan M. Borwein, Peter B. Borwein and Simon Plouffe June 25, 1996 Ref: Mathematical Intelligencer, vol. 19, no. 1 (Jan. 1997), pg. 50–57 Abstract This article gives a brief history of the analysis and computation of the mathematical constant π =3.14159 ..., including a number of the formulas that have been used to compute π through the ages. Recent developments in this area are then discussed in some detail, including the recent computation of π to over six billion decimal digits using high-order convergent algorithms, and a newly discovered scheme that permits arbitrary individual hexadecimal digits of π to be computed.

In many ways this history parallels the advancement of science and technology in general, and of mathematics and computer technology in particular. An overview of this history is presented here in sections one and two.

  • Arxiv:2107.06030V2 [Math.HO] 18 Jul 2021 Jonathan Michael Borwein
    Jonathan Michael Borwein 1951 { 2016: Life and Legacy Richard P. Brent∗ Abstract Jonathan M. Borwein (1951{2016) was a prolific mathematician whose career spanned several countries (UK, Canada, USA, Australia) and whose many interests included analysis, optimisation, number theory, special functions, experimental mathematics, mathematical finance, mathematical education, and visualisation. We describe his life and legacy, and give an annotated bibliography of some of his most significant books and papers. 1 Life and Family Jonathan (Jon) Michael Borwein was born in St Andrews, Scotland, on 20 May 1951. He was the first of three children of David Borwein (1924{2021) and Bessie Borwein (n´eeFlax). It was an itinerant academic family. Both Jon's father David and his younger brother Peter Borwein (1953{2020) are well-known mathematicians and occasional co-authors of Jon. His mother Bessie is a former professor of anatomy. The Borweins have an Ashkenazy Jewish background. Jon's father was born in Lithuania, moved in 1930 with arXiv:2107.06030v4 [math.HO] 15 Sep 2021 his family to South Africa (where he met his future wife Bessie), and moved with Bessie to the UK in 1948. There he obtained a PhD (London) and then a Lectureship in St Andrews, Scotland, where Jon was born and went to school at Madras College. The family, including Jon and his two siblings, moved to Ontario, Canada, in 1963. In 1971 Jon graduated with a BA (Hons ∗Mathematical Sciences Institute, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT. Email: <[email protected]>. 1 Math) from the University of Western Ontario. It was in Ontario that Jon met his future wife and lifelong partner Judith (n´eeRoots).

  • 1914 Martin Gardner
    ΠME Journal, Vol. 13, No. 10, pp 577–609, 2014. 577 THE PI MU EPSILON 100TH ANNIVERSARY PROBLEMS: PART II STEVEN J. MILLER∗, JAMES M. ANDREWS†, AND AVERY T. CARR‡ As 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of Pi Mu Epsilon, we thought it would be fun to celebrate with 100 problems related to important mathematics milestones of the past century. The problems and notes below are meant to provide a brief tour through some of the most exciting and influential moments in recent mathematics. No list can be complete, and of course there are far too many items to celebrate. This list must painfully miss many people’s favorites. As the goal is to introduce students to some of the history of mathematics, ac- cessibility counted far more than importance in breaking ties, and thus the list below is populated with many problems that are more recreational. Many others are well known and extensively studied in the literature; however, as our goal is to introduce people to what can be done in and with mathematics, we’ve decided to include many of these as exercises since attacking them is a great way to learn. We have tried to include some background text before each problem framing it, and references for further reading. This has led to a very long document, so for space issues we split it into four parts (based on the congruence of the year modulo 4). That said: Enjoy! 1914 Martin Gardner Few twentieth-century mathematical authors have written on such diverse sub- jects as Martin Gardner (1914–2010), whose books, numbering over seventy, cover not only numerous fields of mathematics but also literature, philosophy, pseudoscience, religion, and magic.

  • Jonathan Borwein, Pi and the AGM
    Jonathan Borwein, Pi and the AGM Richard P. Brent Australian National University, Canberra and CARMA, University of Newcastle 26 Sept 2017 In fond memory of Jon Borwein 1951–2016 210eπ days was not enough Copyright c 2017, R. P. Brent Richard Brent Jon Borwein, π and the AGM Abstract We consider some of Jon Borwein’s contributions to the high-precision computation of π and the elementary functions, with particular reference to the fascinating book Pi and the AGM (Wiley, 1987) by Jon and his brother Peter Borwein. Here “AGM” is the arithmetic-geometric mean, first studied by Euler, Gauss and Legendre. Because the AGM has second-order convergence, it can be combined with fast multiplication algorithms to give fast algorithms for the n-bit computation of π, and more generally the elementary functions. These algorithms run in “almost linear” time O(M(n) log n), where M(n) is the time for n-bit multiplication. The talk will survey some of the results and algorithms, from the time of Archimedes to the present day, that were of interest to Jon. In several cases they were discovered or improved by him. Jon Borwein, π and the AGM Abstract A message from Peter Borwein Peter Borwein writes: “I would’ve loved to attend. But unfortunately I have multiple sclerosis. It makes it impossible to travel. If you could pass on my regards and best wishes to everyone I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you” Jon Borwein, π and the AGM A message from Peter Why π? Why was Jon interested in π? Perhaps because it is transcendental but appears in many mathematical formulas.

  • Representations of Finite Groups
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 15/2006 Representations of Finite Groups Organised by Alexander S. Kleshchev (Eugene) Markus Linckelmann (Aberdeen) Gunter Malle (Kaiserslautern) Jeremy Rickard (Bristol) March 26th – April 1st, 2006 Abstract. The workshop ”Representations of finite groups” was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Aberdeen), G. Malle (Kaiser- slautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 20-06 20Cxx. Introduction by the Organisers The meeting was organized by A. Kleshchev (Eugene), M. Linckelmann (Ab- erdeen), G. Malle (Kaiserslautern) and J. Rickard (Bristol). This meeting was attended by over 50 participants with broad geographic representation. It covered a wide variety of aspects of the representation theory of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras. This workshop was sponsored by a project of the Eu- ropean Union which allowed us to invite in addition to established researchers also a couple of young people working on a PhD in representation theory. In eleven longer lectures of 40 minutes each and twentytwo shorter contributions of 30 min- utes each, recent progress in representation theory was presented and interesting new research directions were proposed. Besides the lectures, there was plenty of time for informal discussion between the participants, either continuing ongoing research cooperation or starting new projects. The topics of the talks came roughly from two major areas: on the one hand side, the investigation of representation theoretic properties of general finite groups and related objects, on the other hand the determination and detailed analysis of representations of special classes of finite groups and related objects like Hecke algebras.

Thanks are due to the search committee for its thought and energy. These were definitely required because we had some fabulous candidates. Thanks also to Murray State University, Professor McCarthy’s home institution, for its coopera- tion as we worked out the details of her employment with AWM. The AWM Executive Committee has voted to give honorary lifetime mem- IN THIS ISSUE berships to our founding presidents, Mary Gray and Alice T. Schafer. In my role as president, I am continually discovering just how extraordinary AWM is 7 McCarthy Named as an organization. Looking back at its early history, I find it hard to imagine AWM Executive Director how AWM could have come into existence without the vision, work, and persist- ence of these two women. 10 AWM Essay Contest Among newly elected members of the National Academy of Sciences in the physical and mathematical sciences are: 12 AWM Teacher Partnerships 16 MIT woMen In maTH Emily Ann Carter Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Program in 19 Girls’ Angle Applied and Computational Mathematics, Princeton University Lisa Randal Professor of theoretical physics, Department of Physics, Harvard University Elizabeth Thompson Department of Statistics, University of Washington, Seattle A W M The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has also announced its new members.
