An account of the careers of the five women who completed a doctorate in mathematics in France before 1960 and became internationally known scientists, followed by a more general description of the place of women on the mathematical scene…
This paper offers a glimpse of the major contributions made by Arabs to mathematics in middle ages history period. Its purpose is to stimulate interest in an object based on mutual respect and understanding. We give a short list of the most…
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…
This is a short historical note concerning the evolution of Wetzel's problem and Erdos' solution.
In this paper I will present a short scientific biography of Guido Altarelli, briefly describing some of his most important seminal works. I will analyze in great details the paper of the $q^2$ evolution of the effective quark distribution:…
We analyze the developments in mathematical rigor from the viewpoint of a Burgessian critique of nominalistic reconstructions. We apply such a critique to the reconstruction of infinitesimal analysis accomplished through the efforts of…
We describe the development of the mathematics of Helmut R. Salzmann (3. 11. 1930 -- 8. 3. 2022) and the main difficulties he was facing, documenting his lifelong productivity and his far reaching influence. We include a comprehensive…
The aim of this book is to give a rigorous introduction for the graduate students to Analysis on Wiener space, a subject which has grown up very quickly these recent years under the new impulse of the Stochastic Calculus of Variations of…
The article describes the biography and manifold contributions to research in mathematics of Mikhail Aleksandrovich Shubin.
The problem of advancing coordinatization of mathematics is considered. The need to develop a theory for measuring value and complexity of mathematical implications and proofs is discussed including motivations, benefits and implementation…
I review and discuss the contributions of Aron Bernstein to the field of chiral dynamics.
We review the most important statistical ideas of the past half century, which we categorize as: counterfactual causal inference, bootstrapping and simulation-based inference, overparameterized models and regularization, Bayesian multilevel…
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…
Steven Weinberg was a giant of late 20th Century physics on whose shoulders we stand while groping for the science of the 21st Century. This article provides a too-brief summary of a selection of his many achievements -- eight decades of…
The history of the development of the concept of complex numbers from the 16th to 19th centuries. The origin and refinement of the geometric and physical meaning of complex numbers, the emergence of vectoral analysis.
The following notes are intended to make a small digression on the topics mentioned in the title of the same, since these were not addressed in the past tribute by the Institute of Physics of the UdeA. We believe more than platitude try to…
We carry out a thorough bibliometric analysis of recent publications in mathematics based on the database Web of Science. The individual relations between various features and the citations are provided, and the importance of the features…
This is an overview of the life and works of Pavel Florensky, an important and singular figure of the period rightly described as the \emph{Silver Age of Russian mathematics}, with a substantial overlap with the \emph{Silver Age of Russian…
I describe some deep-seated problems in higher mathematical education, and give some ideas for their solution -- I advocate a move away from the traditional introduction of mathematics through calculus, and towards computation and discrete…
This is an essay that considering the knowledge structure and language of a different nature, attempts to build on an explanation of the object of study and characteristics of the mathematical science. We end up with a learning cycle of…
