  • Real Proofs of Complex Theorems (And Vice Versa)
    REAL PROOFS OF COMPLEX THEOREMS (AND VICE VERSA) LAWRENCE ZALCMAN Introduction. It has become fashionable recently to argue that real and complex variables should be taught together as a unified curriculum in analysis. Now this is hardly a novel idea, as a quick perusal of Whittaker and Watson's Course of Modern Analysis or either Littlewood's or Titchmarsh's Theory of Functions (not to mention any number of cours d'analyse of the nineteenth or twentieth century) will indicate. And, while some persuasive arguments can be advanced in favor of this approach, it is by no means obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or, for that matter, that a unified treatment offers any substantial benefit to the student. What is obvious is that the two subjects do interact, and interact substantially, often in a surprising fashion. These points of tangency present an instructor the opportunity to pose (and answer) natural and important questions on basic material by applying real analysis to complex function theory, and vice versa. This article is devoted to several such applications. My own experience in teaching suggests that the subject matter discussed below is particularly well-suited for presentation in a year-long first graduate course in complex analysis. While most of this material is (perhaps by definition) well known to the experts, it is not, unfortunately, a part of the common culture of professional mathematicians. In fact, several of the examples arose in response to questions from friends and colleagues. The mathematics involved is too pretty to be the private preserve of specialists.

  • Robert De Montessus De Ballore's 1902 Theorem on Algebraic
    Robert de Montessus de Ballore’s 1902 theorem on algebraic continued fractions : genesis and circulation Hervé Le Ferrand ∗ October 31, 2018 Abstract Robert de Montessus de Ballore proved in 1902 his famous theorem on the convergence of Padé approximants of meromorphic functions. In this paper, we will first describe the genesis of the theorem, then investigate its circulation. A number of letters addressed to Robert de Montessus by different mathematicians will be quoted to help determining the scientific context and the steps that led to the result. In particular, excerpts of the correspondence with Henri Padé in the years 1901-1902 played a leading role. The large number of authors who mentioned the theorem soon after its derivation, for instance Nörlund and Perron among others, indicates a fast circulation due to factors that will be thoroughly explained. Key words Robert de Montessus, circulation of a theorem, algebraic continued fractions, Padé’s approximants. MSC : 01A55 ; 01A60 1 Introduction This paper aims to study the genesis and circulation of the theorem on convergence of algebraic continued fractions proven by the French mathematician Robert de Montessus de Ballore (1870-1937) in 1902. The main issue is the following : which factors played a role in the elaboration then the use of this new result ? Inspired by the study of Sturm’s theorem by Hourya Sinaceur [52], the scientific context of Robert de Montessus’ research will be described. Additionally, the correlation with the other topics on which he worked will be highlighted,

  • European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960
    INTERSECTING CULTURES European Influences in the Fine Arts: Melbourne 1940-1960 Sheridan Palmer Bull Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree ofDoctor ofPhilosophy December 2004 School of Art History, Cinema, Classics and Archaeology and The Australian Centre The University ofMelbourne Produced on acid-free paper. Abstract The development of modern European scholarship and art, more marked.in Austria and Germany, had produced by the early part of the twentieth century challenging innovations in art and the principles of art historical scholarship. Art history, in its quest to explicate the connections between art and mind, time and place, became a discipline that combined or connected various fields of enquiry to other historical moments. Hitler's accession to power in 1933 resulted in a major diaspora of Europeans, mostly German Jews, and one of the most critical dispersions of intellectuals ever recorded. Their relocation to many western countries, including Australia, resulted in major intellectual and cultural developments within those societies. By investigating selected case studies, this research illuminates the important contributions made by these individuals to the academic and cultural studies in Melbourne. Dr Ursula Hoff, a German art scholar, exiled from Hamburg, arrived in Melbourne via London in December 1939. After a brief period as a secretary at the Women's College at the University of Melbourne, she became the first qualified art historian to work within an Australian state gallery as well as one of the foundation lecturers at the School of Fine Arts at the University of Melbourne. While her legacy at the National Gallery of Victoria rests mostly on an internationally recognised Department of Prints and Drawings, her concern and dedication extended to the Gallery as a whole.

  • Pringsheim: Maiolica
    Seven pieces of maiolica from the former Pringsheim Collection, inv. nos. A 3582, A 3602, A 3619, A 3638, A 3648, A 3649, A 3653 >ORIGINAL DUTCH VERSION In 2008 the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation received a letter written on behalf of the heirs of the German collector Prof. Alfred Pringsheim (1850-1941), the owner of a celebrated collection of Italian maiolica, from which seven pieces were acquired by the collector J.N. Bastert that are now in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The heirs asked the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation, which was the owner of the objects, to return them. The museum responded by proposing that the question be jointly submitted for a binding recommendation to the Advisory Committee on the Assessment for Items of Cultural Value and the Second World War (the Restitutions Committee). The museum is currently awaiting the heirs’ reply, but in the meantime has launched its own investigation of the history of the collection, which is being carried out by the art historian Judith Niessen. Alfred Pringsheim was a well-known and highly respected professor of mathematics at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich. His father left him a large fortune made in the coal and railway industries, which enabled Pringsheim to become a major benefactor. He and his wife Hedwig Dohm, a prominent feminist who was the daughter of a journalist, entertained many guests from the cultural elite of Bavaria and Munich in the ‘palace’ they had built in Narcissstrasse. Thomas Mann, one of their regular visitors, married Katia, the Pringsheim’s daughter, who bore him five children.

  • Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross's Wagnerism: Art and Politics in The
    Bibliographic Essay for Alex Ross’s Wagnerism: Art and Politics in the Shadow of Music The notes in the printed text of Wagnerism give sources for material quoted in the book and cite the important primary and secondary literature on which I drew. From those notes, I have assembled an alphabetized bibliography of works cited. However, my reading and research went well beyond the literature catalogued in the notes, and in the following essay I hope to give as complete an accounting of my research as I can manage. Perhaps the document will be of use to scholars doing further work on the phenomenon of Wagnerism. As I indicate in my introduction and acknowledgments, I am tremendously grateful to those who have gone before me; a not inconsiderable number of them volunteered personal assistance as I worked. Wagner has been the subject of thousands of books—although the often-quoted claim that more has been written about him than anyone except Christ or Napoleon is one of many indestructible Wagner myths. (Barry Millington, long established one of the leading Wagner commentators in English, disposes of it briskly in an essay on “Myths and Legends” in his Wagner Compendium, published by Schirmer in 1992.) Nonetheless, the literature is vast, and since Wagner himself is not the central focus of my book I won’t attempt any sort of broad survey here. I will, however, indicate the major works that guided me in assembling the piecemeal portrait of Wagner that emerges in my book. The most extensive biography, though by no means the most trustworthy, is the six- volume, thirty-one-hundred-page life by the Wagner idolater Carl Friedrich Glasenapp (Breitkopf und Härtel, 1894–1911).

  • Constantin Carathéodory, a Greek-German Professor Of
    Online-Publication as personal statement, June 1, 2017 Constantin Carath´eodory, a Greek-German Professor of Mathematics at the University of Munich in the Years 1924–1945 — A Personal Statement Hans Josef Pesch Abstract The present paper reflects the life of the Greek-German mathemati- cian Constantin Carath´eodory as a professor of mathematics at the University of Munich from the year of his call in 1924 over the terrible era of the National Socialist dictatorship until the end of World War II. Although Carath´eodory’s biography seems to be widely known, at least among mathematicians, little seems to be known of his life during the pandemonium of darkness that stran- gled millions in the German name. Two more or less recent publications seem to provide points of attack for casting a cloud, resp. actually do cast a cloud over Carath´eodory. The present paper discusses these criticisms in terms of the history of the backdoor acquisition of power by the Nazis and the backdrop of day-to-day life outside and inside the university system at that time. The available historical sources, in particular those of the mentioned publications, disburden Carath´eodory in the opinion of the author and lead to the conclusion that he must have had a hostile attitude toward the NS regime despite his decision to accept the call from the University of Munich in 1924, at a time, when nationalistic and xenophobic assaults began to occur more and more, and despite his decision to reject possibilities to emigrate to the US or Greece before 1933.

  • Complex Numbers and Colors
    Complex Numbers and Colors This year’s calendar, “Complex Beauties,” delights both the visual senses and the intellect. These colorful representations of complex functions are fascinating aesthetically as well as mathematically. The researchers’ biographical sketches and the explanations of the mathematical functions with which their work is connected provides insight into various fields of mathematics. Our goal is to inspire you to search the literature or to experiment with phase portraits on your own. To understand the representations of these functions, it is helpful to know something about com- plex numbers. The construction of the phase portraits is based on the interpretation of complex numbers z as points in the Gaussian plane. The horizontal coordinate x of the point representing z is called the real part of z (Re z) and the vertical coordinate y of the point representing z is called the imaginary part of z (Im z); we write z = x + iy. Alternatively, the point representing z can also be given by its distance from the origin ( z , the modulus of z) and an angle ( arg z, the argument of z). | | The phase portrait of a complex function f (appearing in the picture on the left) arises when all points z of the domain of f are colored according to the argument (or phase) of the value w = f (z). More precisely, in the first step the color wheel is used to assign colors to the complex w-plane in such a way that points on rays emanating from the origin are assigned the same color (as in the picture on the right).
