This article is a tribute to one of the most prominent Polish mathematicians Jozef Marcinkiewicz who perished 80 years ago in the Katyn' massacre. His personality and main mathematical achievements are described.
In this study, we continue to present profiles of some distinguished graduates in mathematics of the Jagiellonian University from the years 1918-1939. We discuss their professional paths and scholarly achievements, instances of scientific…
Inequalities play important roles not only in mathematics, but also in other fields, such as economics and engineering. Even though many results are published on Hermite-Hadamard (H-H) type inequalities, new researcher to this fields often…
Many aspects of Schubert calculus are easily modeled on a computer. This enables large-scale experimentation to investigate subtle and ill-understood phenomena in the Schubert calculus. A well-known web of conjectures and results in the…
This survey article on Hilbert's first and second problems is adapted from a one-hour colloquium lecture given at the University of Auckland in May, 2000, just three months before the 100th anniversary of Hilbert's lecture. It includes an…
The theoretical physicist and mathematician Aristophanes Dimakis passed away on July 8, 2021, at the age of 68, in Athens, Greece. We briefly review his life, career and scientific achievements.
A great astronomer, George Herbig, passed away in Honolulu on October 12, 2013, at the age of 93. His life and career were long and productive, and consistently dedicated to the careful, thorough research that earned him his reputation.…
This paper is a criticism on "A Mathematician's Apology" by G. H. Hardy.
Santosh Kumar was an active researcher on the topic of exact results in random matrix theory and their various applications, particularly to quantum chaos and information theory. Barely entering his mid-career, he died unexpectedly on the…
The author recalls general tendencies of the "mathematization" of the sciences and derives challenges and tentative obstructions for a successful merger of mathematics and physics on fancied steps towards "Quantum Gravity". This is an…
This is an English translation of Nikolai Chebotaryov's paper "Die Probleme der modernen Galoisschen Theorie" from 1932. An excerpt from this paper was given as a lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Z\"urich in 1932.…
One of the variants for systematizing the activities of the historian of mathematics is proposed, as well as a scheme for organizing research and search work in the preparation of scientific articles and reports on the history of science.
G\"unter Hellwig was the author of influential textbooks on PDEs and differential operators of mathematical physics, an enthusiastic and inspiring teacher to generations of engineers, organiser of PDE conferences at Oberwolfach and a…
The Ising model is one of the standard models in statistical physics. Since 1969 more than 12000 publications appeared using this model. In 1996 Ernst Ising celebrated his 96th birthday. Some biographical notes and milestones of the…
Recently, in [18] the authors gave some results on the structure, capability and the Schur multiplier of generalized Heisenberg Lie superalgebra. In this work we try to extend these concepts to the case of generalized Heisenberg Lie…
This article reflects on the life and mathematical contributions of Pierre Cartier, a distinguished figure in 20th- and 21st-century mathematics. As a key member of the Bourbaki collective, Cartier played a pivotal role in the formalization…
This essay offers a brief biography of Paul Erd\H{o}s and summarizes his approach to mathematics. This is further elucidated by a discussion of Erd\H{o}s' simple proof of Bertrand's Postulate.
Classical applications of Galois theory concern algebraic numbers and algebraic functions. Still, the night before his duel, Galois wrote that his last mathematical thoughts had been directed toward applying his "theory of ambiguity to…
We briefly describe each of the four topics: Schubert Calculus, Schubert Cell, Schubert Cycle, and Schubert Polynomials.
In this brief note, there is a short recollection of my scientific interactions with the great Russian mathematician Sergey Konstantinovich Godunov.
