He worried about the weather, whether it was too nice. He worried about star power, the allure of Usher and Mary J. Blige. Would folks forsake the sunshine, he wondered, to hear a lecture about the Rubik’s cube in the subterranean depths of the Smithsonian’s Ripley Center? Could even a giant square-wheeled tricycle compete with Gwen Stefani and the other big-name artists performing in the free Earth Day concert across the Mall? Would anyone, in other words, come to the National Math Festival? Washington worried for naught. People came to the National Math Festival in droves. Official estimates put attendance upward of 10,000. Visitors young and old thronged the Smithsonian’s Enid A. Haupt Garden, the Ripley Center next door, the National Museums of Natural and American History across the lawn- turned-construction-site. They enjoyed mathematical balloon twisting, an exhibition of math-inspired art, lectures about Archimedes and Minecraft and fair lane assignment in BMX bicycle racing. Organized by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and the Institute for Advanced Study in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution, the National Math Festival made good on its promise to “enliven the National Mall with dozens of interactive math experiences.” Ivars Peterson indicates a population distribution created by MAA at the National Math Festival the hands of people touching (and staining) a sharp corner at For its contribution to the festival, MAA coaxed its the National Gallery of Art’s East Building. onetime Director of Publications Ivars Peterson out of semi-retirement to lead a Math on the National Mall the two-foot smudge, tapered at both ends, represents tour.

Congratulations to Raman Parimala, Emory University, who will present the AWM Noether Lecture at JMM 2013, entitled “A Hasse Principle for Quadratic Forms over Function Fields.” She is honored for her groundbreaking research in theory of quadratic forms, hermitian forms, linear algebraic groups, and Galois cohomology. The Noether Lecture is the oldest of the three named AWM Lectures. (The Falconer Lecture is presented at MathFest, and the Sonia Kovalevsky at the SIAM Annual Meeting.) The first Noether Lecture was given by F. Jessie MacWilliams in 1980 in recognition of her fundamental contributions to the theory of error correcting codes.

  • Alfred Tarski and a Watershed Meeting in Logic: Cornell, 1957 Solomon Feferman1
    Alfred Tarski and a watershed meeting in logic: Cornell, 1957 Solomon Feferman1 For Jan Wolenski, on the occasion of his 60th birthday2 In the summer of 1957 at Cornell University the first of a cavalcade of large-scale meetings partially or completely devoted to logic took place--the five-week long Summer Institute for Symbolic Logic. That meeting turned out to be a watershed event in the development of logic: it was unique in bringing together for such an extended period researchers at every level in all parts of the subject, and the synergetic connections established there would thenceforth change the face of mathematical logic both qualitatively and quantitatively. Prior to the Cornell meeting there had been nothing remotely like it for logicians. Previously, with the growing importance in the twentieth century of their subject both in mathematics and philosophy, it had been natural for many of the broadly representative meetings of mathematicians and of philosophers to include lectures by logicians or even have special sections devoted to logic. Only with the establishment of the Association for Symbolic Logic in 1936 did logicians begin to meet regularly by themselves, but until the 1950s these occasions were usually relatively short in duration, never more than a day or two. Alfred Tarski was one of the principal organizers of the Cornell institute and of some of the major meetings to follow on its heels. Before the outbreak of World War II, outside of Poland Tarski had primarily been involved in several Unity of Science Congresses, including the first, in Paris in 1935, and the fifth, at Harvard in September, 1939.
