Multifaceted Mathematicians

Murderers , Mathematicians ∗

This article outlines the history of our visualization of the interior of the human body. It throws some light on the emotional context and the underlying idea of man. In order of appearance on the historical stage, the leading characters are: painters, murderers (more precisely: executed persons including thieves driven merely by need, women with illegitimate children, etc.), and mathematician...

Mathematicians of Gaussian Elimination

G aussian elimination is universally known as “the” method for solving simultaneous linear equations. As Leonhard Euler remarked, it is the most natural way of proceeding (“der natürlichste Weg” [Euler, 1771, part 2, sec. 1, chap. 4, art. 45]). Because Gaussian elimination solves linear problems directly, it is an important technique in computational science and engineering, through which it ma...

Mathematicians and the Market

Introduction Young mathematicians have been facing dismal job prospects throughout the nineties. The fall unemployment rate for new Ph.D.s in the U.S., as measured by the AMS-IMS-MAA Annual Survey (Second Report), rose from 2.5% in 1990 to a peak of 13.2% in 1994.1 Unemployment rates have fallen moderately since to the current level of 9.5% in 1996. This is not the first time that labor market ...
