To understand its origin, we solve the spectral problem for arXiv:hep-th/0212169v1 15 Dec 2002 the model within quasiclassical approach. In this approach, the integrals of motion satisfy the Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization conditions imposed on the orbits of classical motion. In the rep- resentation of the separated coordinates, the latter wrap around a Riemann surface defined by the spectral curve of the model. A novel feature of the obtained quantization conditions is that they involve both the α and β periods of the action differential on the Riemann surface, thus allowing us to find their− solutions− by exploring the full modular group of the spectral curve. We demonstrate that the quasiclassical energy spectrum is in a good agreement with the exact results. ∗ Permanent address: Department of Theoretical Physics, Sankt-Petersburg State University, 199034 St.- Petersburg, Russia †Unite Mixte de Recherche du CNRS (UMR 8627) Contents 1.

Remarkable Russian Women in Pictures, Prose and Poetry N Marcelline Hutton Many Russian women of the late 19th and early 20th centuries tried to find happy marriages, authentic religious life, liberal education, and ful- filling work as artists, doctors, teachers, and political activists. Some very remarkable ones found these things in varying degrees, while oth- ers sought unsuccessfully but no less desperately to transcend the genera- tions-old restrictions imposed by church, state, village, class, and gender. Like a Slavic “Downton Abbey,” this book tells the stories, not just of their outward lives, but of their hearts and minds, their voices and dreams, their amazing accomplishments against overwhelming odds, and their roles as feminists and avant-gardists in shaping modern Russia and, in- deed, the twentieth century in the West.

  • Solutions to Nonlinear Evolutionary Parabolic Equations of the Diffusion Wave Type
    S S symmetry Article Solutions to Nonlinear Evolutionary Parabolic Equations of the Diffusion Wave Type Alexander Kazakov Matrosov Institute for System Dynamics and Control Theory of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 664033 Irkutsk, Russia; [email protected] Abstract: The article deals with nonlinear second-order evolutionary partial differential equations (PDEs) of the parabolic type with a reasonably general form. We consider the case of PDE degenera- tion when the unknown function vanishes. Similar equations in various forms arise in continuum mechanics to describe some diffusion and filtration processes as well as to model heat propagation in the case when the properties of the process depend significantly on the unknown function (concen- tration, temperature, etc.). One of the exciting and meaningful classes of solutions to these equations is diffusion (heat) waves, which describe the propagation of perturbations over a stationary (zero) background with a finite velocity. It is known that such effects are atypical for parabolic equations; they arise as a consequence of the degeneration mentioned above. We prove the existence theorem of piecewise analytical solutions of the considered type and construct exact solutions (ansatz). Their search reduces to the integration of Cauchy problems for second-order ODEs with a singularity in the term multiplying the highest derivative. In some special cases, the construction is brought to explicit formulas that allow us to study the properties of solutions. The case of the generalized porous medium equation turns out to be especially interesting as the constructed solution has the form of a soliton moving at a constant velocity. Keywords: nonlinear parabolic equation; porous medium equation; diffusion wave; existence Citation: Kazakov, A.

We address: 1) what are the ways in which arts and STEM can interact fruitfully; 2) which of these have been explored using well-devised studies and what do these tell us about efficacy; 3) where are the gaps (and therefore the opportunities) that can readily be addressed by new studies; and 4) what kinds of methods can be used to generate reliable data? Part 1 summarizes studies demonstrating that ACD are valuable to STEMM professionals, providing a taxonomy of twelve fundamental ways that STEMM professionals employ ACD ranging from shared mental “tools”, creative processes, and aesthetic considerations, to the discovery of novel problems and phenomena, analogies, materials, principles, methods and even mental recreation.

  • Mathematical Monuments in Finland
    Bridges 2021 Conference Proceedings Mathematical Monuments in Finland Osmo Pekonen1, Kristóf Fenyvesi2, and Johan Stén3 1University of Jyväskylä, Finland; [email protected] 2University of Jyväskylä, Finland; [email protected] 3University of Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] Abstract With “mathematical monuments” we mean either monuments for famous mathematicians and their achievements or works of art representing mathematical objects in public places. We present a panoply of such monuments in Finland for the purposes of the mathematical tourist visiting our country. As we are interested in symbolic representations of science, we take a broad view of the notion of “monument” and take into account also some minor artefacts, such as portraits, medals and stamps, and other semiotic signs, such as street names and commemorative plates, illustrating some highlights of the history of mathematics in Finland. Introduction Some great centres of science in the world have so many monuments for past scientists and their deeds that it has been worthwhile to publish specialized guides for visitors who wish to spot them. The Hungarian couple of science historians István and Magdolna Hargittai have recently published such guidebooks about their home city Budapest [1] but also about New York [2], Moscow [3], and London [4]. Unsurprisingly, there is a similar guidebook about Paris [5]. The German couple of mathematicians Martin and Iris Grötschel have produced an analogous book focusing on mathematical sights in Berlin [6]. The Mathematical Intelligencer has a column entitled “The Mathematical Tourist” devoted to spotting of mathematical monuments. Finland holds an honourable place in the history of mathematics as a country.

THE PHYSICIST - PHILOSOPHERS The Legacy of James Clerk Maxwell and Herrmann von Helmholtz Peter Skiff Bard College, 2016 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work was begun 25 years into a 50 year career at Bard College. This position gave me access to an extraordinary range of exceptional faculty, distinguished visiting scholars, and brilliant student researchers, all of whom inspired and informed im investigating academic fields I pursued: mathematical physics and the history and philosophy of science. In addition the editors of the American Library Association’s Choice magazine provided literally hundreds of books for review for college libraries. It is from this trove of ideas and information I have been assembling this book. I am particularly grateful to particular advice and information from Hannah Arendt, Heinrich Bluecher, Irma Brandeis, and A.

  • Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives
    Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach Report No. 2/2017 DOI: 10.4171/OWR/2017/2 Mini-Workshop: Women in Mathematics: Historical and Modern Perspectives Organised by Tinne Hoff Kjeldsen, Copenhagen Nicola Oswald, Wuppertal Renate Tobies, Jena 8 January – 14 January 2017 Abstract. The aim of the workshop is to build a bridge between research on the situation of women in mathematics at the beginning of coeducative studies and the current circumstances in academia. The issue of women in mathematics has been a recent political and social hot topic in the mathe- matical community. As thematic foci we place a double comparison: besides shedding light on differences and similarities in several European countries, we complete this investigation by comparing the developments of women studies from the beginnings. This shall lead to new results on tradition and suggest improvements on the present situation. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010): 01A55, 01A60, 01A70, 01A80. Introduction by the Organisers The aim of the workshop was to build a bridge between research on the situation of women in mathematics at the beginning of coeducative studies and the current circumstances in academia.
