Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Sir William Rowan Hamilton (4 août 1805 - 2 septembre 1865) est un mathématicien, physicien et astronome irlandais. Il est connu pour sa découverte des quaternions, mais il contribua aussi au développement de l'optique, de la dynamique et de l'algèbre. Ses recherches se révélèrent importantes pour le développement de la mécanique quantique. Les travaux mathématiques de Hamilton incluent l'étude de l'optique géométrique, l'adaptation des méthodes dynamiques aux systèmes optiques, l'application des quaternions et des vecteurs aux problèmes de mécanique et géométriques, les possibilités de résolution des équations polynomiales, notamment l'équation générale du cinquième degré, les opérateurs linéaires, dont il prouve un résultat concernant ces opérateurs dans l'espace des quaternions et qui est un cas spécial du théorème de Cayley-Hamilton. Hamilton est né à Dublin, son père est Archibald Hamilton. Une des branches de la famille écossaise auquel il appartient s'était installée dans le nord de l'Irlande au temps de Jacques I d'Écosse, ce qui a parfois donné l'impression que Hamilton était écossais. Hamilton est éduqué par James Hamilton, un prêtre anglican qui était son oncle. Enfant prodige ; son génie se révéla tout d'abord dans sa capacité à apprendre les langues...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Arthur Cayley (16 August 1821 26 January 1895) was a British mathematician. He helped found the modern British school of pure mathematics. As a child, Cayley enjoyed solving complex math problems for amusement. He entered Trinity College, Cambridge, where he excelled in Greek, French, German, and Italian, as well as mathematics. He worked as a lawyer for 14 years. He proved the Cayley-Hamilton theoremthat every square matrix is a root of its own characteristic polynomial.

Extrait : John von Neumann (né Neumann János, 1903-1957), mathématicien et physicien américain d'origine hongroise, a apporté d'importantes contributions tant en mécanique quantique, qu'en analyse fonctionnelle, en théorie des ensembles, en informatique, en sciences économiques ainsi que dans beaucoup d'autres domaines des mathématiques et de la physique. Il a de plus participé aux programmes militaires américains. Benjamin d'une fratrie de trois, il s'appelle tout d'abord Neumann János Lajos (les Hongrois placent les noms de famille en tête) à Budapest en Autriche-Hongrie. Il est le fils de Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), un avocat-banquier, et de Kann Margit (Marguerite Kann). Il ne prête guère attention à ses origines juives, sinon pour son répertoire de blagues. János est un enfant prodige : à six ans, il converse avec son père en grec ancien et peut mentalement faire la division d'un nombre à huit chiffres. Une anecdote rapporte qu'à huit ans, il a déjà lu les quarante-quatre volumes de l'histoire universelle de la bibliothèque familiale et qu'il les a entièrement mémorisés : doté d'une mémoire eidétique, il sera capable de citer de mémoire des pages entières de livres lus des années auparavant.

Excerpt: A person's ErdsBacon number is a concept which reflects the small world phenomenon in academia and entertainment. It is the sum of one's Erds numberwhich measures the "collaborative distance" in authoring mathematical papers between that person and Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdsand one's Bacon numberwhich represents the number of links, through roles in films, by which the individual is separated from American actor Kevin Bacon. The lower the number, the closer a person is to Erds and Bacon. The idea of ErdsBacon numbers has been written about by Simon Singh in the British media and Benjamin Rosenbaum, among others, in the blogosphere. However, the idea had appeared in print before, notably in 1998, when it was mentioned in response to Daniel Kleitman appearing in Good Will Hunting. Roles as self, as a cameo appearance, or as an extra are often included for the Bacon component. The Erds criterion technically refers to collaboration on mathematical papers, but it is often relaxed to include general research articles for the ErdsBacon number. In general, to have a d...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2625993 ... Read more

Product Description
This is the most comprehensive survey of the mathematical life of the legendary Paul Erdös, one of the most versatile and prolific mathematicians of our time. For the first time, all the main areas of Erdös' research are covered in a single project. Because of overwhelming response from the mathematical community, the project now occupies over 900 pages, arranged into two volumes. These volumes contain both high level research articles as well as "key" articles which survey some of the cornerstones of Erdös' work, each written by a leading world specialist in the field. A special chapter "Early Days", rare photographs, and art related to Erdös complement this striking collection. A unique contribution is the bibliography on Erdös' publications: the most comprehensive ever published. ... Read more

Product Description
A man with no home and no job, Paul Erdős was the most prolific mathematician who ever lived. Born in Hungary in 1913, Erdős wrote and co-authored over 1,500 papers and pioneered several fields in theoretical mathematics. At the age of 83 he still spent most of his time on the road, going from math meeting to math meeting, continually working on problems. He died on September 20, 1996 while attending such a meeting in Warsaw, Poland. The film opens at Cambridge University's 1991 honorary doctorate ceremony, where Erdős received an award he says he would gladly trade for a "nice new proof." For Erdős, the meaning of life is "to prove and conjecture." To pursue this life of wandering and pure scholarship, Erdős relied on a network of other renowned mathematicians-all of whom regarded him as an international treasure. As the film progresses it becomes clear that mathematicians around the world had more than a professional stake in caring for Erdős. In different ways, each of the many prominent mathematicians in the film expresses dedication to and love for Erdős. ... Read more
