Rejoinder of ``Cross-Covariance Functions for Multivariate Geostatistics'' by Genton and Kleiber [arXiv:1507.08017].

Based on M. Grossman in \cite{Grossman83} and Grossman an Katz \cite{GrossmanKatz}, in this paper we discuss about the applications of bigeometric calculus in different branches of mathematics and economics.

This is a slightly edited translation of a paper in Dutch which appeared in Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde (5) 25 (2024), No.2, 87-90 on the occasion of I.G. Macdonald's death in 2023, and aimed at a very broad mathematical audience. First we…

We review Euler's work on spherical geometry. After an introduction concerning the general place that trigonometric formulae occupy in geometry, we start by the two memoirs of Euler on spherical trigonometry, in which he establishes the…

I summarize, at its 41st--and what would have been Bruno's 94th--birthday, the history of the discoveries of Supergravity and some of its structure and later developments.

Leo Breiman was a highly creative, influential researcher with a down-to-earth personal style and an insistence on working on important real world problems and producing useful solutions. This paper is a short review of Breiman's extensive…

In this paper, we introduce the hypergeometric Euler number as an analogue of the hypergeometric Bernoulli number and the hypergeometric Cauchy number. We study several expressions and sums of products of hypergeometric Euler numbers. We…

This is a survey paper on several aspects of differential geometry for the last 30 years, especially in those areas related to non-linear analysis. It grew from a talk I gave on the occasion of seventieth anniversary of Chinese Mathematical…

This article provides information on the life and work of the number theorist Arnold Scholz. It is an English translation with modifications of an introduction to the correspondence of Hasse, Scholz and Taussky published in 2016.

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.

This is the introduction I wrote for the multi-authored book "From Riemann to differential geometry and relativity", edited by L. Ji, A. Papadopoulos and S. Yamada (Berlin, Springer verlag, 2017). The book consists of twenty chapters,…

This article discusses the life and work of Professor Ola Bratteli (1946--2015). Family, fellow students, his advisor, colleagues and coworkers review aspects of his life and his outstanding mathematical accomplishments.

I describe the impact of some of the mathematical results of Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat on gravitational physics, as well as the evolution of my interactions with her over the years.

In a recent letter [PRL 95, 140601 (2005)], P. Grassberger addresses the very interesting issue of the applicability of q-statistics to the renowned Feigenbaum attractor. However several points are not in line with our current knowledge,…

Vladimir Andreevich Uspensky [1930-2018] was one of the Soviet pioneers of the theory of computation and mathematical logic in general (and my teacher and thesis advisor). This paper is the survey of his mathematical works and their…

The World Year of Physics (2005) is an international celebration to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Einstein's "Annus Mirabilis". The United Nations has officially declared 2005 the International Year of Physics. However, the…

This obituary is devoted to M. I. Polikarpov (28.12.1952 - 18.07.2013), our teacher, our colleague, our friend. We recollect some facts of his biography and stages of his scientific career, and make a brief review of some of his most known…

I first met Louis Nirenberg in person in 1972 when I became a Courant Instructor. He was already a celebrated mathematician and a suave sophisticated New Yorker, even though he was born in Hamilton, Canada and grew up in Montreal. In this…
