There is a general rule to the effect that any given family possesses at most one outstanding mathematician and that, in fact, most families possess none. Thus a search through the ancestors, descendents, and relatives of Isaac Newton fails to turn up any other great mathematician. There are exceptions to this general rule. For example we have, here in the United States, the two Lehmers (father and son) and the two Birkhoffs (father and son). One also recalls the two Cassinis (father and son) of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and perhaps one can build a case for the two Clairaut children of the eighteenth century. And of course there were Theon and Hypatia (father and daughter), who lived during the closing years of ancient Greek mathematics. But such cases are relatively rare. All the more striking, then, is the Bernoulli family of Switzerland, which in three successive generations produced no less than eight noted mathematicians.

The article considers the life and creative achievements of the great Soviet scientist academician Leonid Kantorovich, the only Nobel Prize winner in economics in our country. Basic spheres of his scientific interests are noted, the contribution to the world science is assessed. The problems connected with the implementation of optimization methods of planning in the Soviet economy are shown.

Hero Worship

There is always and everywhere present in the human mind the tendency to hero worship. Iconoclastic as we may conceive ourselves to be, theoretically regicidal as we may proclaim our intentions, radical as may the group of which we are members boast itself, we all admire real ability and we tend to bow down before it. This is the reason why we exalt, even unduly, those whose genius we admire, placing them upon pedestals and considering that human frailties are alien to their nature. To us they are heroes ever,— born great and never descending to the average human level.

Little is known of the life of the great mathematician Diophantus. We know that he lived in Alexandria, Egypt. His name was Greek, he wrote in Greek, and his heritage was mostly Greek, with perhaps some Persian influence. He may have been Egyptian.

Symmetry Constraints

We provide a generalization of the approach to geometric probability advanced by the great mathematician Gian Carlo Rota, in order to apply it to generalized probabilistic physical theories. In particular, we use this generalization to provide an improvement of the Jaynes’ MaxEnt method. The improvement consists in providing a framework for the introduction of symmetry constraints. This allows us to include group theory within MaxEnt. Some examples are provided.

History Of

The Islamic world in the 13th century is a very scientifically productive period, when great logicians and great works emerged in terms of logic. Undoubtedly, one of the leading figures of this century in the field of philosophy and logic is the great mathematician, logician and philosopher Nasīr al-Dīn al-Tūsī (d. 1274). Al-Tūsī, who has produced many valuable works, has written his work named Asâs al-Iqtibâs fi'l-Mantık. (The Basis of Acquisition). It has been modeled on the famous encyclopedic philosophical work of Ibn Sīnā-Avicenna (d. 1037), the first nine books of Kitâb al-Şifā (The Cure) on logic. The work has been among the masterpieces of the history of Islamic logic with its competent expression and original contributions, encompassing all matters up to its age. Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II The Conqueror (r. 1451-1481), who carried out important activities in the scientific and cultural field as well as his achievements in the political field, ordered this important work of logic written in Persian to be translated into Arabic from Shaykh al-Islam Mullā Ḫüsrev (d. 1480) in order to have a more common and useful functionality. In addition, Mullā Ḫüsrev, who was also a great jurist and logician, successfully completed this important task and presented his translation to the Sultan. Many copies of this translation have survived, the translator himself wrote two of which. In this article, the work named Esâsu’l İktibâs fi'l-Mantık and its translation in question have been examined and evaluated.

Mathematics is queen of the sciences and arithmetic is queen of mathematics. She often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but under all circumstances the first place is her due.” So wrote the great mathematician Gau s more than one hundred years ago. The queenly state is a high and noble estate with qualities such as those of beauty and charm, of authority and power, and of service to her people. This is the queen of t he sciences who begins to erve in the elementary school.
