This is an English (annotated) translation of the German paper by Max Planck (1916) "On the absolute entropy of monatomic bodies" (\"Uber die absolute Entropie einatomiger K\"orper).
A short essay on the life and mathematical heritage of Coble. A substantially edited version will be part of the series of biographical memoirs of past members of the National Academy of Sciences. Version 2: minor changes. Version 3. Typo…
This article is a collection of several memories for a special issue of SIGMA devoted to Dmitry Borisovich Fuchs.
Al-Biruni (973-1048) was one of the greatest scientists of all times. He was an astronomer, mathematician and philosopher, and studied physics and natural sciences. In this paper, we will discuss some of his experimental methods and some…
Recent links between Finsler Geometry and the geometry of spacetimes are briefly revisited, and prospective ideas and results are explained. Special attention is paid to geometric problems with a direct motivation in Relativity and other…
The paper dedicated to memory of Valery Anatolievich Senderov
The author recollects Sergio Fubini's impact on field theory (radial quantization, merons, conformal quantum mechanics) and on MIT.
The life and accomplishments of Grete Hermann are described. During the early twentieth century, she worked in physics, mathematics, philosophy and education. Her most notable accomplishments in physics were in the interpretation of quantum…
The mathematical achievements of Harry Kesten since the mid-1950s have revolutionized probability theory as a subject in its own right and in its associations with aspects of algebra, analysis, geometry, and statistical physics. Through his…
Discussion of ``The William Kruskal Legacy: 1919--2005'' by Stephen E. Fienberg, Stephen M. Stigler and Judith M. Tanur [arXiv:0710.5063]

This paper is a commentary on Rudolph Peierls's "In defence of measurement" Physics World 19-20, January 1991 to accompany the reprint of this paper for the special volume dedicated to the celebration of the centenary of the discovery of…
It is shown that the class of algebro-geometrical (finite-gap) solutions of the Ernst equation constructed several years ago in [D.Korotkin, Theor.Math.Phys., 77 (1989), p. 1018] contains the solutions recently constructed by R.Meinel and…
The secret network of the universe: How quantum geometry might complete Einstein's dream. - An informal introduction to quantum geometry (loop quantum gravity), spin networks, quantum black holes, and the work of Abhay Ashtekar, Carlo…
This is an introduction (in German) to projective geometry by the late Heinz Lueneburg. Projective spaces are treated as lattices with particular properties, and finite geometries receive special attention. The final chapters deal with…
The weighted numerical radius of a Hilbert space operator has been defined recently. This article explores other properties and uses this newly defined numerical radius to obtain several new interesting inequalities for the weighted…
Contribution to the Proceedings in honour of C.N. Yang, editor S-T Yau. To
Maurice Gross (1934-2001) was both a great linguist and a pioneer in natural language processing. This article is written in homage to his memory
We provide a faithful translation of Hans Richter's important 1949 paper "Verzerrungstensor, Verzerrungsdeviator und Spannungstensor bei endlichen Form\"anderungen" from its original German version into English, complemented by an…
