    Extractions: history of mathematics in the United States of America (Topic) The United States of America is a democratic republic founded in 1776 from the 13 British colonies in the American continent. After years of fighting, the British military was unable to defeat the American insurgents. The fact that the new nation was separated from Europe and Asia by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and that communication was much slower in those days, meant that news of the latest scientific and mathematical advances reached America months or years after the fact. By necessity , the leading intellectuals of the insurgency era were Renaissance men who dabbled in various arts and sciences, a far cry from today's mathematician who specializes in one field of mathematics almost to the point of ignorance of all other fields. So, for example, Benjamin Franklin was well-versed in various astronomical computations, but he also studied

    Extractions: The Most Highly Cited Black Mathematicians There are few black mathematicians holding professorships at U.S. universities. And even fewer are regularly cited by their peers in articles published in academic journals. Longstanding beliefs in the academic world did concede that blacks were sentient creatures who were self-aware and capable of learning limited tasks. But academic orthodoxy in the United States held that Negroes were not capable of the abstract thinking and calculations that were necessary to do important work in mathematics. Thomas Jefferson, the author of a famous document that proclaimed that "all men are created equal" at one point wrote a friend, "I have not yet found one of them [Negroes] who could solve the geometrical problems of Euclid." More than a century later L.M. Terman, the creator of the Stanford-Binet IQ test, concluded that the low-scoring racial minorities "cannot master abstractions." Given these firm beliefs in the inherent incapacity of Negroes, it followed that there was little purpose in expending serious scholarly effort in preparing blacks for teaching or research in the most onerous and complex field of academic mathematics. In this setting, what happened to the behavior of black people was predictable under accepted economic theory. Standard theory forecasts shortages of a product when there is no demand for it. Black people with intellectual potential in the field of mathematics behaved rationally. They quite sensibly did not seek out Ph.D.s in mathematics. Those who did often found that their research and ideas were not respected or even considered by their white peers. Above all, no serious academic journal was willing to publish their work.

    Extractions: Alexandre Grothendieck is arguably the most important mathematician of the 20th century, but he has been willfully missing for the last fourteen years. Unverified accounts have him flitting about the Pyrenees or gardening in southern France, but the inheritors of his groundbreaking work in algebraic geometry can’t be sure that any of these explanations are true. “He is still alive, we believe,” says Susan Friedlander, a mathematics professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. If so, Grothendieck would be 78 years old; but the most current pictures available show a lean, middle-aged, bald man of monkish serenity. The reason for Grothendieck’s retreat is less mysterious. In 1988, after refusing to accept the highly prestigious and lucrative Crafoord prize from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Grothendieck released a letter to multiple newspapers and scientific journals condemning what he called the politicization of the scientific community. Prizes and awards were changing the spirit and goals of mathematics, sometimes resulting in blatant intellectual theft, he said.

    Extractions: 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.
