The h-index is a mainstream bibliometric indicator, since it is widely used in academia, research management and research policy. While its advantages have been highlighted, such as its simple calculation, it has also received widespread…
Ralph Henstock (1923 - 2007), with (independently) Jaroslav Kurzweil, was the originator of the Riemann-complete or generalized Riemann integral. This material consists of four chapters of a book proposal to Cambridge University Press,…
We survey the main ideas in the early history of the subjects on which Riemann worked and that led to some of his most important discoveries. The subjects discussed include the theory of functions of a complex variable, elliptic and Abelian…
This is a pedagogic introduction to certain aspects of inverse spectral theory for Schr\"{o}dinger operators and Jacobi matrices that revolves around my joint work with Fritz Gesztesy whose $70^{th}$ birthday we are honoring.
Utilizing the Hirsch index h and some of its variants for an exploratory factor analysis we discuss whether one of the most important Hirsch-type indices, namely the g-index comprises information about not only the size of the productive…
This is an extended abstract of my talk at the Oberwolfach Workshop "Algebraic Groups" (April 22 - 28, 2007). It is based on a joint work with H.Derksen and J.Weyman (arXiv:0704.0649v2 [math.RA]).
In writing this biographical memoir of John Hammersley, we have tried to communicate something of the character of the person, and of the impact of his scientific achievements across lattice models (for example, percolation, self-avoiding…
Some highlights of the priority in the discovery of the gravitational field equations are given.
In summer 1923, a year after his lectures on the `New Foundation of Mathematics' and half a year before the republication of his two notes on the `Foundations of Physics,' Hilbert delivered a trilogy of lectures in Hamburg. In these…
Carl Gustav Hempel (1905-1997) formulated the dilemma that carries his name in an attempt to determine the boundaries of physics. Where does physics go over into metaphysics? The purpose of this contribution is to indicate how a recently…
This is a transcript of a lecture course on Infinite Permutation Groups given by Peter M. Neumann (1940-2020) in Oxford during the academic year 1988-1989. The field of Infinite Permutation Groups only emerged as an independent field of…
This is a retrospective of some of William Arveson's many contributions to operator theory and operator algebras.
Lev Davidovich Landau was arguably one of the greatest and most versatile physicists. His work spans a very wide range and has had a considerable impact on all areas of physics including condensed matter physics, plasma, high energy and…
Sadly, our esteemed colleague and friend Ning Cai passed away on 25th May, 2023. In his memory, Ingo Alth\"ofer, Holger Boche, Christian Deppe, Jens Stoye, Ulrich Tamm, Andreas Winter, and Raymond Yeung have organized the "Workshop on…
I present some memories of my Ph.D supervisor and, later, collaborator but always encouraging supporter Prof. G. Lazarides. Some of his contributions to our common and related scientific activities on the phenomenology of MSSM and inflation…
In the winter semester of 1890--1891 Adolf Hurwitz delivered a lecture course at the Albertina University in K\"onigsberg entitled -Theorie der algebraischen Gleichungen-. These lectures contain a particularly clear presentation of the…
Keller's article entitled ``Good-bye teacher...'' [J. Appl. Behav. Anal. \textbf{1}, 79-89 (1968)] was fundamental for the development and dissemination of Keller's Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), which was one of the central…
A brief review of Heisenberg's life and work: participating in the youth movement in the aftermath of World War I, creating quantum mechanics, conflict with "deutsche Physik", involvement in "Hitler's Uranium Project", last illusions.…
Joseph Polchinski (1954-2018), one of the the leading theoretical physicists of the past 50 years, was an exceptionally broad and deep thinker. He made fundamental contributions to quantum field theory, advancing the role of the…
This is a brief overview of researches of Dmitry Petrovich Zhelobenko (1934--2006). He is the best known for his book "Compact Lie groups and their representations" and for the classification of all irreducible representations of complex…
