The special issue contains a monograph by M. Popel, in which the methodical foundations of the formation of professional competences of mathematics teachers in institutions of higher education of Ukraine are considered; the place of cloud…
An interview in 2001 with Murray Gell-mann covering his early ideas on parity violation, strangeness, charm, the eightfold way, QCD, electroweak theory and string theory.
The paper is devoted to technology of math. education in Russia in special mathematical schools ("listkovaya systema"). This system has positive sides and most classes in Russian mathematical schools or circles almost always uses it.…
This article is a slightly expanded version of the talk I delivered at the Special Plenary Session of the 46-th Annual Meeting of the Israel Physical Society (Technion, Haifa, May 11, 2000) dedicated to Misha Marinov. In the first part I…
This paper wants to show how practical geometry, created to give a concrete help to people involved in trade, in land-surveying and even in astronomy, underwent a transformation that underlined its didactical value and turned it first into…
We propose to follow the itinerary of Claude Chevalley during the last twenty years of his life, through the words of Jacques Roubaud, Denis Guedj and Alexander Grothendieck. Our perspective is that of their testimonies filled with…
We provide an historical overview of how advances in technology influenced high school and university mathematical competitions in the United States and at the International Mathematical Olympiad. While students are not allowed the usage of…
A personal and informal account of what a pure mathematician might expect when using tools from deep learning in their research.
This work wishes to support various mathematical issues concerning the iterative methods with the help of new programming languages. We consider a way to show how problems in math have an answer by using different academic resources and…
This article summarizes some of the most important scientific contributions of Murray Gell-Mann (1929-2019). (Invited article for Current Science, Indian Academy of Sciences.)
This is a former PhD student's take on his teacher's scientific philosophy. I describe a set of 'principles' that I believe are conducive to good applied mathematics, and that I have learnt myself from observing Hans van Duijn in action.
Through the use of a system-building approach, an approach that includes finding common ground for the various philosophical paradigms within statistics, Erich L. Lehmann is responsible for much of the synthesis of classical statistical…
Remarks on mathematical proof and the practice of mathematics.
This is the second of a series of papers surveying some small part of the remarkable work of our friend and colleague Nigel Kalton. We have written it as part of a tribute to his memory. It does not contain new results. One of the many…
This study examines the potential of using math-themed postage stamps in mathematics lessons as a tool to engage students and integrate the subject with history, art, and culture. Since the first mathematical stamps appeared in the early…
This note is an attempt to give an answer for the following old I.M. Gelfand's question: why some important problems of integral geometry (e.g., the Radon transform and others) are related to harmonic analysis on groups, but for other quite…
In this note I describe reliability standards for writing and reviewing mathematical papers; these standards are (in my opinion) vital for the progress of mathematics. I give examples of applying the described or other reliability…
This is a non-standard paper, containing some problems, mainly in model theory, which I have, in various degrees, been interested in. Sometimes with a discussion on what I have to say; sometimes, of what makes them interesting to me,…
Celebrating fifty years of collaboration and friendship with Chris Isham.
Those of us who teach Mathematics for Liberal Arts (MLA) courses often underestimate the mathematical abilities of the students enrolled in our courses. Despite the fact that many of these students suffer from math anxiety and will admit to…
