This issue of Statistical Science draws its inspiration from the work of James M. Robins. Jon Wellner, the Editor at the time, asked the two of us to edit a special issue that would highlight the research topics studied by Robins and the…
Abstract basins appear naturally in different areas of several complex variables. In this survey we want to describe three different topics in which they play an important role, leading to interesting open problems.
In recent years, the paradigms of data-driven science have become essential components of physical sciences, particularly in geophysical disciplines such as climatology. The field of hydrology is one of these disciplines where machine…
After reviewing the basics, topics in this talk include an attempted survey of theoretical contributions to this workshop, some extra specific comments on quark models, and a summary.
The article presents the main milestones of the science and technology biography of Ivan Edward Sutherland. The influence of the family and the school on the development of its research competencies is shown, and little-known biographical…
We give a brief account of some of the most spectacular results established by James Maynard for which he has been awarded the Fields Medal.
In today' s era of scientific and technological advancements, the importance of talent resources is increasingly highlighted. This article will attempt to summarize the academic trajectories and successes of numerous scientists from both…
Before the recent publication of the correspondence between Gauss and Encke, nothing was known about the role that John Taylor, a cotton merchant from Liverpool, had played in the life of Gotthold Eisenstein. In this article, we will bring…
Brief recollections of two giants of physics, their origins, similarities and differences.
The current article unveils and analyzes important shades of meaning for the widely discussed term talent management. It not only grounds the outlined perspectives in incremental formulation and elaboration of this construct, but also is…
One of the variants for systematizing the activities of the historian of mathematics is proposed, as well as a scheme for organizing research and search work in the preparation of scientific articles and reports on the history of science.
This paper is an exposition and review of the research related to the Riemann Hypothesis starting from the work of Riemann and ending with a description of the work of G. Spencer-Brown, culminating in his Denjoy proof of the RH.
This short note is an "elementary'' introduction to the conjectural theory of motives.
This article gives a sketch of teachers and colleagues who have had strong influence on my becoming a particle physicist.
This paper is devoted to Poincar\'e's work in probability. Though the subject does not represent a large part of the mathematician's achievements, it provides significant insight into the evolution of Poincar\'e's thought on several…
A sketch of some of the fundamental notions related to the nature of knowledge is offered, with special focus on the role of mathematics and my own opinions. No single idea exposed here is entirely original; indeed, this topic has been…
The very humble origins of the Cyberspace, and all the related developments that smoothly conspired and converged towards this concept, making its emergence possible, as the personal computer, TEX and LATEX, the Fax, the internet, the…
A qualitative (and selective) discussion of current activities and problems in the field is given.
We discuss the legacy of Alan Turing and his impact on computability and analysis.
In celebration of Professor Ron Doney's 80th birthday, we provide a summary of his academic career and contributions to probability theory, as one of the UK's leading probabilists for over 50 years. A version of this note also serves as an…
