We give an overview of several of the mathematical works of Gilles Lachaud and provide a historical context. This is interspersed with some personal anecdotes highlighting many facets of his personality.
This is a short overview of the influence of mathematicians and their ideas on the creative contribution of Mikhailo Lomonosov on the occasion of the tercentenary of his birth.
A partly autobiographical survey of the development of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics in the 1960's and 1970's.
We survey the development of Clifford's geometric algebra and some of its engineering applications during the last 15 years. Several recently developed applications and their merits are discussed in some detail. We thus hope to clearly…
This is an intrusion in the life and the mathematics of Norbert A'Campo, intended to be a tribute to him and an acknowledgement of his impact on those who know him and his work. The final version of this paper appears in the book ``Essays…
This is a report on the work of Robert Langlands, following his award of the Abel Prize in 2018. It includes his contributions to the general areas of Representation Theory, Automorphic Forms, Number Theory and Arithmetic Geometry. We have…
Geometric algebra was initiated by W.K. Clifford over 130 years ago. It unifies all branches of physics, and has found rich applications in robotics, signal processing, ray tracing, virtual reality, computer vision, vector field processing,…
This is a brief introduction to the theory of Enriques surfaces over arbitrary algebraically closed fields. Some new results about automorphism groups of Enriques surfaces are also included.
David Mumford made groundbreaking contributions in many fields, including the pure mathematics of algebraic geometry and the applied mathematics of machine learning and artificial intelligence. His work in both fields influenced my career…
In this survey I should like to introduce some concepts of algebraic geometry and try to demonstrate the fruitful interaction between algebraic geometry and computer algebra and, more generally, between mathematics and computer science. One…
This article is a transcription of a video of a 1972 lecture by Jean Dieudonn\'e, enhanced with composite still images from the video. The lecture covers the same material as an earlier paper and lecture notes by Dieudonn\'e, but the live…
Metrically homogeneous graphs are connected graphs which, when endowed with the path metric, are homogeneous as metric spaces. Here we consider a class of countable metrically homogeneous graphs. The algebra of an age is a concept…
Considered one of the founding fathers of integral geometry, Luis Santal\'o has contributed to various areas of mathematics. His work has applications in number theory, in the theory of differential equations, in stochastic geometry, in…
In celebration of the distinguished achievements of Professor Tsuyoshi Ando in matrix analysis and operator theory, we conducted an interview with him via email. This paper presents Professor Ando's responses to several questions we gave…
This talk is dedicated to Alberto Sirlin in celebration of his seventieth birthday. I wish to convey my deep appreciation of his many important contributions to particle physics over 40 years and look forward to many more years of…
This editorial summarizes selected key contributions of Prof. Stephen Grossberg and describes the papers in this 80th birthday special issue in his honor. His productivity, creativity, and vision would each be enough to mark a scientist of…
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…
In November 2014 Alexander Grothendieck passed away at the age of 86. There is no doubt that he was one of the greatest and most innovative mathematicians of the 20th century. After a bitter childhood, his meteoric ascent started in the…
This paper, which is dedicated to Alan Turing on the 50th anniversary of his death, gives an overview and discusses the philosophical implications of incompleteness, uncomputability and randomness.
We give a unified geometric approach to some theorems about primitive elements and palindromes in free groups of rank 2. The geometric treatment gives new proofs of the theorems. Dedicated to Bill Harvey on his 65th birthday.
