It is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) who found that there is no explicit formula for the roots of a general polynomial of degree five. The financial support of the Abel Prize is comparable with the Nobel Prize, i.e., about one million American dollars. Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) M. Křížek a kol.: Prvních deset Abelových cen za matematiku, JČMF, Praha, 2013 87 Already in 1899, another famous Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie proposed to establish an Abel Prize, when he learned that Alfred Nobel would not include a prize in mathematics among his five proposed Nobel Prizes.

  • 1 Getting a Knighthood
    Getting a knighthood (Bristol, June 1996) It's unreal, isn't it? I've always had a strong sense of the ridiculous, of the absurd, and this is working overtime now. Many of you must have been thinking, ‘Why Berry?’ Well, since I am the least knightly person I know, I have been asking the same question, and although I haven't come up with an answer I can offer a few thoughts. How does a scientist get this sort of national recognition? One way is to do something useful to the nation, that everyone agrees is important to the national well- being or even survival. Our home-grown example is of course Sir Charles Frank's war work. Or, one can sacrifice several years of one's life doing high-level scientific administration, not always received with gratitude by the scientific hoi polloi but important to the smooth running of the enterprise. Sir John Kingman is in this category. Another way – at least according to vulgar mythology – is to have the right family background. Well, my father drove a cab in London and my mother ruined her eyes as a dressmaker. Another way is to win the Nobel Prize or one of the other huge awards like the Wolf or King Faisal prizes, like Sir George Porter as he then was, or Sir Michael Atiyah. The principle here I suppose is, to those that have, more shall be given. I don't qualify on any of these grounds. The nearest I come is to have have won an fairly large number of smaller awards.

  • Pterossauros Nasciam Sem a Capacidade De Voar
    NOTAS 1 Pterossauros nasciam sem a capacidade de voar Os filhotes de pterossauros, répteis ala- dos já extintos, contemporâneos dos dinossauros, rompiam seus ovos prontos para andar, mas não para bater asas e ga- nhar os ares. Assim que nasciam, os ossos Ovos fossilizados da cintura estavam formados. Isso permi- do pterossauro Hamipterus tia que eles se apoiassem sobre as patas tianshanensis e traseiras e dessem os primeiros passos. reconstituição Porém, a estrutura óssea que dá suporte artística da espécie aos movimentos do músculo peitoral, essencial para sustentar o voo, ainda não estava totalmente constituída. Os recém- -nascidos também não tinham todos os dentes, limitação que provavelmente os impedia de se alimentar sozinhos. Para sobreviver até que os ossos de apoio das asas e os dentes estivessem completos, os filhotes tinham de permanecer um bom tempo sob o cuidado dos pais. Esse cenário, sobre o desenvolvimento embrio- nário e os primeiros movimentos, ainda tímidos, dos filhotes de pterossauros, é sugerido em um estudo feito por paleon- tólogos brasileiros e chineses (Science, 1º de dezembro). “O descompasso entre o desenvolvimento dos ossos da cintura e os da musculatura peitoral indica que os pterossauros não conseguiam voar ao nascer”, comenta o paleontólogo Ale- xander Kellner, do Museu Nacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), um dos autores do trabalho. Com o auxílio de imagens de tomografia com- putadorizada, o grupo analisou o interior de 16 ovos de pterossauros da espécie Hamipterus tianshanensis, que viveu há cerca de 120 milhões de anos na bacia de Turpan-Hami, no noroeste da China.

The LMS Council announced that Professor Bryan Birch, of the University of Oxford, had been awarded the triennial prize in recognition of his influential contributions to modern number theory. This area of mathematics is used in ensuring the security of Pin numbers and communications generally. In particular, Professor Birch worked with Professor Sir Peter Swinnerton-Dyer, of the University of Cambridge, to create a new area of arithmetic algebraic geometry. Together they formulated the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjectures. Despite the best efforts of some of the greatest mathematical minds these remarkable conjectures are still open after 40 years and are amongst seven classic unsolved mathematical problems identified by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Institute is offering $1 million prizes for their proofs. Professor John Toland, President of the LMS, said, “These remarkable conjectures are still open and a million dollar prize awaits anyone who comes up with a proof. For these conjectures, and for many other seminal contributions, we honour Professor Birch today.” Professor Toland quoted mathematician Georg Cantor, who, in 1867 said, “In mathematics, the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it.” The Council for the LMS announced the De Morgan Medal and other prize winners at the Society Meeting held at University College London on 22 June.
