  • A Century of Mathematics in America, Peter Duren Et Ai., (Eds.), Vol
    Garrett Birkhoff has had a lifelong connection with Harvard mathematics. He was an infant when his father, the famous mathematician G. D. Birkhoff, joined the Harvard faculty. He has had a long academic career at Harvard: A.B. in 1932, Society of Fellows in 1933-1936, and a faculty appointmentfrom 1936 until his retirement in 1981. His research has ranged widely through alge­ bra, lattice theory, hydrodynamics, differential equations, scientific computing, and history of mathematics. Among his many publications are books on lattice theory and hydrodynamics, and the pioneering textbook A Survey of Modern Algebra, written jointly with S. Mac Lane. He has served as president ofSIAM and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Mathematics at Harvard, 1836-1944 GARRETT BIRKHOFF O. OUTLINE As my contribution to the history of mathematics in America, I decided to write a connected account of mathematical activity at Harvard from 1836 (Harvard's bicentennial) to the present day. During that time, many mathe­ maticians at Harvard have tried to respond constructively to the challenges and opportunities confronting them in a rapidly changing world. This essay reviews what might be called the indigenous period, lasting through World War II, during which most members of the Harvard mathe­ matical faculty had also studied there. Indeed, as will be explained in §§ 1-3 below, mathematical activity at Harvard was dominated by Benjamin Peirce and his students in the first half of this period. Then, from 1890 until around 1920, while our country was becoming a great power economically, basic mathematical research of high quality, mostly in traditional areas of analysis and theoretical celestial mechanics, was carried on by several faculty members.

  • Department of Chemistry
    Department of Chemistry In the 2005–2006 academic year, the Department of Chemistry continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Currently there are 245 graduate students, 93 postdoctoral researchers, and 92 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2006, the Department faculty will comprise 32 full-time faculty members including 5 assistant, 4 associate, and 23 full professors, one an Institute Professor. In the fall, Professor Joseph P. Sadighi was promoted to associate professor without tenure, effective July 1, 2006; in the spring, Professor Timothy F. Jamison was promoted to associate professor with tenure, also effective July 1, 2006. In September 2005, Professor Arup K. Chakraborty took up a joint senior appointment as the Robert T. Haslam professor of chemical engineering, professor of chemistry, and professor of biological engineering. Professor Chakraborty obtained his PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He came to MIT from the University of California at Berkeley, where he served as the Warren and Katherine Schlinger distinguished professor and chair of chemical engineering, and professor of chemistry from 2001 to 2005. Highlights The Department of Chemistry had a wonderful year. On October 2, 2005, we learned that Professor Richard R. Schrock, Frederick G. Keyes professor of chemistry, had won the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the development of a chemical reaction now used daily in the chemical industry for the efficient and more environmentally friendly production of important pharmaceuticals, fuels, synthetic fibers, and many other products. Schrock Professor Richard R. Schrock speaking at a press shared the prize with Yves Chauvin of the conference at MIT on October 5, 2005.

  • Maty's Biography of Abraham De Moivre, Translated
    Statistical Science 2007, Vol. 22, No. 1, 109–136 DOI: 10.1214/088342306000000268 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2007 Maty’s Biography of Abraham De Moivre, Translated, Annotated and Augmented David R. Bellhouse and Christian Genest Abstract. November 27, 2004, marked the 250th anniversary of the death of Abraham De Moivre, best known in statistical circles for his famous large-sample approximation to the binomial distribution, whose generalization is now referred to as the Central Limit Theorem. De Moivre was one of the great pioneers of classical probability the- ory. He also made seminal contributions in analytic geometry, complex analysis and the theory of annuities. The first biography of De Moivre, on which almost all subsequent ones have since relied, was written in French by Matthew Maty. It was published in 1755 in the Journal britannique. The authors provide here, for the first time, a complete translation into English of Maty’s biography of De Moivre. New mate- rial, much of it taken from modern sources, is given in footnotes, along with numerous annotations designed to provide additional clarity to Maty’s biography for contemporary readers.
