Georg Simon Ohm John Forbes Nash Jr. Karl Gustav Jacob Jacobi Mary Ellen Rudin ... Pythagoras of Samos Georg Simon Ohm By: Amy Dixon Georg Simon Ohm was born to Johann Wolfgang Ohm and Maria Elizabeth Beck in 1787 in Erlangen. His father, Johann Wolfgang, was a self-taught man in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and philosophy brought this knowledge to his children. Georg Simon learned more science from his father than he did at Erlangen Gymnasium. Ohm entered the University of Erlangen but lost funding for it by his father after three semesters because Georg was too interested in student life. He then became a mathematics teacher in a school in Gottstadt bei Nydau. Ohm wished to go with Karl Christian von Lagsdrof to the University of Heidlelberg to continue his mathematics education, but Lagsdrof suggested that Ohm teach himself. Ohm studied Euler, Laplace, Lacroix, Lagrange, Legendre, Laplace, Biot, and Poisson and taught himself much mathematics. He eventually received a doctorate from Erlangen and started working towards his lifetime goal of gaining a high position in a university. Ohm taught math and physics at a poor school in Bamberg where he wrote an elementary book on teaching geometry. In 1817, He became a physics and math teacher at the Jesuit Gymnasium of Cologne where he had access to a laboratory and began experiments after the discovery of electromagnetism by Oersted. Ohm began to seriously experiment and publish after he realized it would be what it would take to reach his life goal. His first paper was written in 1825, which describes the decrease in electromagnetic force produced by an increased wire length. He also wrote two papers that expanded Fourier’s study of heat conduction that gave a mathematical description of conduction in circuits.

Cox demonstrated advanced ability in mathematics and physics at an early age. The close-knit Cox family fostered his interest in math – his father was a principal and from an early age, Cox was encouraged to develop his talents and get an education. Elbert Cox earned his A.B. at Indiana University in 1917 and, after serving in France during World War 1, he returned to pursue a career as a high school math teacher. In 1921, he applied for admission to Cornell University, which at the time was one of only seven American Universities with a mathematics Ph.D program. Dudley Weldon Woodard Dudley Woodward William Waldron Shieffelin Claytor William Claytor He was the third African American to receive a Ph.D. in mathematics and, after publishing his dissertation, the predominately African American West Virginia State College was the only school that offered him a faculty position. He went on to make presentations at the meetings of the American Mathematical Society, but was never allowed to stay in the same hotel where the presentations took place. Claytor continued to lead in his field of topology, the area of mathematics concerned with spatial properties, until he retired. Throughout his career, discrimination remained an obstacle.

On a visit to the Alhambra some years ago, I toted along a copy of Symmetry in Science and Art Symmetry Comes of Age even includes a useful flowchart for classifying the symmetry groups of patterns—but I suspect that the authors and editors would not entirely approve of this use of their work. The tourist who stalks the halls of the Alhambra trying to complete a checklist of the 17 two-dimensional symmetry groups is not their ideal student of "the role of pattern in culture." When one is looking at an artifact such as a tiled floor or a woven fabric or a beadwork ornament, identifying crystallographic groups is at best the beginning of understanding the object. The classification might tell you something about the meaning of the work in the context of Western mathematics, but it is unlikely to reveal much about the object's meaning within the culture that created it.
