This WWW page contains links to contributions that appear in the Festschrift issue of the journal Acta Physica Slovaca dedicated to Professor Jan Pisut on the occasion of his 60th birthday. Where available, links are given also to e-prints…

Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was born, and spent the first 11 years of his life in St. Petersburg. The present lecture is devoted to his childhood and his family. Most of these documents were not available before and are now published for the…

The two of us have shared a fascination with James Victor Uspensky's 1937 textbook $Introduction \, to \, Mathematical \, Probability$ ever since our graduate student days: it contains many interesting results not found in other books on…

We give a short biographical sketch of Karl Weierstrass.

This is historical-mathematical and historical notes on Moscow mathematics 1914-1936. Nikolay Luzin was a central figure of that time. Pavel Alexandroff, Nina Bari, Alexandr Khinchin, Andrey Kolmogorov, Mikhail Lavrentiev, Lazar Lyusternik,…

Graph comparison is a certain type of condition on metric space encoded by a finite graph. We show that any nontrivial graph comparison implies one of Alexandrov's comparisons. The proof gives a complete description of graphs with trivial…

We discuss the legacy of Alan Turing and his impact on computability and analysis.

With this contribution we would like to remember Chandra M. R. Kintala who passed away in November 2009. We will give short overviews of his CV and his contributions to the field of theoretical and applied computer science and, given the…

A homage to the life and mathematics of John K. S. McKay. Obituary for the Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society.

Alan Baker, Fields Medallist, died on 4th February 2018 in Cambridge England after a severe stroke a few days earlier. In 1970 he was awarded the Fields Medal at the International Congress in Nice on the basis of his outstanding work on…

In the Euclidean setting, the well-known Alexandrov theorem states that convex functions are twice differentiable almost everywhere. In this note, we extend this theorem to rank-one convex functions. Our approach is novel in that it draws…

The purpose of this note is to provide a detailed proof of Nazarov's inequality stated in Lemma A.1 in Chernozhukov, Chetverikov, and Kato (2017, Annals of Probability).

This is a write-up of introductory remarks that I made at the UIC conference in honor of Lawrence Ein's 60th birthday. It presents an informal survey of some of Ein's work, interspersed with stories and reminiscences.

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.

I present some reminiscences, both personal and scientific, over a lifetime of admiration of, and friendship with, one of the Grandmasters of our subject.

Errico Presutti was a leading figure in mathematical physics and an important contributor to rigorous results in statistical mechanics. Due to his strong scientific personality and human qualities, there are many who remember Errico…

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…

In this survey paper we analyze the development of Fractional Calculus in Russia at the end of XIX century, in particular, the results by A.V.Letnikov, N.Ya.Sonine and P.A.Nekrasov. Some of the discussed results are either unknown or…

This is an English translation of the obituary notice by Beno Eckmann, appearing in Elemente der Mathematik 47.3 (1992) 118--122 (in German).

On 28th and 29th of January 2013 we held an international meeting in Zielona G\'ora (Poland) honouring the first anniversary of premature passing away^(1) of Professor Roman Juszkiewicz. We have celebrated an opening of a new seminar room…
