Rejoinder: Fisher Lecture: Dimension Reduction in Regression [arXiv:0708.3774]

These are reminiscences of my interactions with Julian Schwinger from 1968 through 1981 and beyond.

The following conversation is based in part on a transcript of a 2009 interview funded by Pfizer Global Research-Connecticut, the American Statistical Association and the Department of Statistics at the University of Connecticut-Storrs as…

The present document is an excerpt of an essay that I wrote as part of my application material to graduate school in Computer Science (with a focus on Artificial Intelligence), in 1986. I was not invited by any of the schools that received…

This survey article on Hilbert's first and second problems is adapted from a one-hour colloquium lecture given at the University of Auckland in May, 2000, just three months before the 100th anniversary of Hilbert's lecture. It includes an…

This is a summary of my lecture at Igor Frenkel's 70th birthday conference. I give a brief review of my almost forty years of scientific interactions with Igor. I focus here on three topics of joint interests: 2-cocycles, coadjoint orbits…

Twitter is often referred to as a backchannel for conferences. While the main conference takes place in a physical setting, attendees and virtual attendees socialize, introduce new ideas or broadcast information by microblogging on Twitter.…

R. A. Fisher was one of the greatest scientists of the last century. He made many ground-breaking contributions, so many indeed that it seems almost impossible to list all of them. His revolutionary contributions to the design of…

This invited memoire describes my fortunate life, which has been enriched by meeting many wonderful people. The story starts at home and university, and continues with accounts of St Andrews and trips to the USA, together with musings on…

Childhood and graduate school at Ann Arbor Michigan prepared Bill for an interesting and rewarding career in physics. Along the way came Carol and many joint discoveries with our many colleagues to whom we both owe this good life. This…

This is an expanded and revised text for a fifteen minute talk given at the University of Queensland Physics Camp, September 2000. The focus is on the goals and motivations for studying quantum information theory, rather than on technical…

This is a reply, given at the conference ``Mach's Principle" in T\"ubingen in July 1993, to the paper by Pfister (1993). Unfortunately the Pfister paper itself was not sent to gr-qc.

My personal recollections are presented regarding my interactions with Steven Weinberg and the impact he had in my career from when I was his graduate student until the present.

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…

Steven Weinberg productive scientific life teaches us many things, one of the most important of which is the power of his example. This essay contains personal reminiscences and a speculation about gravitational wave propagation based on…

This article is based on a talk given at a one-day meeting in NUI, Maynooth on the Fourth of April, 2008, held to honour David Walsh and Richard Watson. It surveys joint work with the author.

This is an extended version of a talk given at the conference "Algebra and Topology in Interaction" on the occasion of the 70th Anniversary of D.B. Fuchs at UC Davis in September 2009. It is a brief survey of an area originated around 1995…
