   Extractions: Internationally recognized mathematician and beloved professor, Gian-Carlo Rota died last weekend, apparently in his sleep. He was 66 years old. Rota was found Monday afternoon after he failed to arrive in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon, where he was to give a three-part lecture series at Temple University earlier this week. The cause of death was ruled as artherosclerotic cardiac disease by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner. Rota held appointments at MIT as professor both of applied mathematics and philosophy, the only MIT professor in history to do so. He taught several courses in both fields. As a mathematician, Rota helped lay the foundations for modern combinatorics and develop the field into a respected discipline within mathematics. Rota was also a philosopher working in the 20th century continental tradition of phenomenology. His most recent book Indiscrete Thoughts, published by Birkhauser has been nominated by the 1999 Edwin Goodwin Ballard Book Prize in phenomenology presented by the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. A great teacher At MIT, however, Rota is probably best known as a great teacher.

   Extractions: Gian-Carlo Rota 's father, Giovanni Rota, was a civil engineer and architect who specialised in anti-earthquake structures. Giovanni Rota was a prominent anti-fascist and his name appears on a death list constructed by Mussolini. Gian-Carlo was born into a talented family in Vigevano, many members of his family had achieved fame in their areas of expertise, for example one of Gian-Carlo's uncles, Flaiano, wrote scripts for Federico Fellini's films, including La Dolce Vita. Gian-Carlo was educated in Italy up to the age of thirteen in 1945. This was near the end of World War II and, due to Giovanni Rota's anti-fascist views, the family was forced to leave Vigevano to escape Mussolini's death squads. Giovanni Rota took his family to northern Italy where they hide for a time before crossing the border into Switzerland. The family eventually escaped to Ecuador where Gian-Carlo completed his secondary school education. The positive side to this remarkable escape story was that Rota was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and French. Rota entered the United States in 1950 at the age of eighteen to undertake his university studies. He entered Princeton University in 1950 and received a BA summa cum laude in 1953. After graduating, Rota entered Yale University where he studied for his Master's Degree in Mathematics which was awarded in 1954. He then undertook doctoral studies, supervised by Jacob T Schwartz, and he was awarded a PhD from Yale in 1956 for his thesis

He attended the Colegio Americano de Quito in Ecuador , and earned degrees at Princeton University and Yale University . For most of his career he was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , where he was the only person ever to be appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics and Philosophy He began his career as a functional analyst , but changed directions and became the world's foremost combinatorialist

In this same year that he was awarded his doctorate, Rota married and received a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to undertake research at the Courant Institute at New York University. After spending a year in New York, Rota was appointed as Benjamin Peirce Instructor at Harvard University. He held this post until 1959 when he joined the faculty at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. With the exception of the years from 1965 to 1967 when he was at the Rockefeller University, Rota remained at MIT for the rest of his career. Rota was given the title Professor of Applied Mathematics at MIT but in 1972 his title was changed to Professor of Applied Mathematics and Philosophy. He is the only professor at MIT ever to have such a title. However, he had many other roles outside MIT. Rota had a long association with the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory where he enjoyed being with his friend Ulam and collaborating with him. He served as a consultant to the Laboratory from in 1966 and, in 1971, he was made a Senior Fellow of the Laboratory. Rota was also a consultant with the Rand Corporation from 1966 to 1971 and with the Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1969 to 1973.

   http://mitpress.mit.edu/bookstore/authors/rota.html
   
   Extractions: hardcover, $36.50 Indiscrete Thoughts gives a rare glimpse into a world that has seldom been described, that of science and technology as seen through the eyes of a mathematician. The era covered by this book, 1950 to 1990, was surely one of the golden ages of science as well as the American university. Cherished myths are debunked along the way as Gian-Carlo Rota takes pleasure in portraying, warts and all, some of the great scientific personalities of the periodStanislav Ulam (who, together with Edward Teller, signed the patent application for the hydrogen bomb), Solomon Lefschetz (Chairman in the 50's of the Princeton Mathematics Department) William Feller (one of the founders of computer science), and many others. Rota is not afraid of controversy. Some readers may even consider these essays indiscreet . After the publication of the essay "The Pernicious Influence of Mathematics upon Philosophy" (reprinted six times in five languages) the author was blacklisted in analytical philosophy circles. Indiscrete Thoughts should become an instant classic, and the subject of debate for decades to come.

    Extractions: Hello, This is Anupam Kumar Singh. I was born and brought up in a small village. It is situated on the bank of a small river Jargo which just few km. ahead ( north ) meets the holy river Ganga. My father is a farmer, and the land belonging to us is quite fertile as it comes in the belt of river Ganga. On the south side about 5 km ahead the great Vindhayachal mounatin range starts. I did my schooling from St. Thomas Primary and Junior High School in the nearest town Chunar (which is about two km. away from my village). Since that area was very backward and poor, so there was no further scope for studies after matriculation. I came to Allahabad and did my +2 from Jumna Christian College and my undergraduation from Ewing Christian College (A College of Allahabad University). After that I got enrolled in J.K. institute for M.Sc. (computer science) programme. But I did not find it as interesting as Mathematics. So I left it and joined M.Sc. (mathematics) in Indian Institute Of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. Being interested in Mathematics I joined Ph. D. programme in Mehta Research Institute (now renamed as Harish-Chandra Research Institute ) here.

    Extractions: Contact Information CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Gian-Carlo Rota, an internationally respected mathematician and philosopher and a dedicated and beloved teacher, died of heart failure in his home earlier this week. He was 66. Dr. Rota apparently died in his sleep. He was found in bed in his night clothes on the afternoon of Monday, April 19, after failing to arrive in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon for a series of three lectures he was to give this week at Temple University. The cause of death was atherosclotic cardiovascular disease, according to the Middlesex County Medical Examiner. Dr. Rota was the only MIT faculty member ever to hold the title of Professor of Applied Mathematics and Philosophy. As a mathematician, he is credited with having transformed his specialty area, combinatorics which he described as "putting different colored marbles in different colored boxes, seeing how many ways you can divide them" from an insignificant field to one of the most important areas of mathematics today. "Gian-Carlo Rota almost single-handedly lifted the subject of combinatorics from a barely respectable obscurity to one of the most active areas of mathematics today," said Richard Stanley, a mathematics professor at MIT who is also a former student of Dr. Rota's. Stanley was one of the organizers of Rotafest, a four-day mathematical conference held at MIT in 1996 honoring Dr. Rota's 64th birthday.

    Extractions: Norbert Wiener Professor of Mathematics In recognition of Gian-Carlo Rota's long service and contributions to the M.I.T. department of mathematics, there will be a one day conference devoted to Rota's memory. This event will take place on October 9th, 1999, and will be part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Moore Instructorship M.I.T. has established a memorial fund for the purpose of honoring Gian-Carlo Rota's legacy. Assuming that the funds raised are sufficient, we plan to use the money to underwrite the construction of a ``Rota Reading Room'' in the M.I.T. library. This room would house a selection of the many books which Rota contributed to M.I.T. over the years as well as some of the other interesting and rare volumes in the M.I.T. archives. It is our intention to create an attractive space which will be a resource for everyone.
