Harish-Chandra FRS was an Indian American mathematician and physicist who did fundamental work in representation theory, especially harmonic analysis on semisimple Lie groups.
Robert Adrain was an Irish mathematician, whose career was spent in the USA. He was considered one of the most brilliant mathematical minds of the time in America, during a period when few academics conducted original research. He is chiefly remembered for his formulation of the method of least squares.
Eliakim Hastings Moore, usually cited as E. H. Moore or E. Hastings Moore, was an American mathematician.
Leonard Eugene Dickson was an American mathematician. He was one of the first American researchers in abstract algebra, in particular the theory of finite fields and classical groups, and is also remembered for a three-volume history of number theory, History of the Theory of Numbers.
The Department of Mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the leading mathematics departments in the USA and the world. In the 2010 US News ranking of US graduate programs, the Department was ranked number one, while the second place was a 4-way tie among Harvard, Princeton, Stanford and UC Berkeley.
The Analyst, or, Mathematical Museum was an early American mathematics journal. Founded by Robert Adrain in 1808, it published one volume of four issues that year before discontinuing publication. Despite its extremely short life, it published papers by several notable mathematicians in the nascent American mathematical community, including Nathaniel Bowditch and Ferdinand Hassler; most importantly, Adrain himself published an independent formulation of the method of least squares.
The Messenger of Mathematics is a defunct British mathematics journal. The founding editor-in-chief was William Allen Whitworth with Charles Taylor and volumes 1–58 were published between 1872 and 1929. James Whitbread Lee Glaisher was the editor-in-chief after Whitworth. In the nineteenth century, foreign contributions represented 4.7% of all pages of mathematics in the journal.
The Mathematical Diary was an early American mathematical journal and mathematics magazine, published between 1825 and 1833.
John Colin Stillwell is an Australian mathematician on the faculties of the University of San Francisco and Monash University.
Arthur Byron Coble was an American mathematician. He did research on finite geometries and the group theory related to them, Cremona transformations associated with the Galois theory of equations, and the relations between hyperelliptic theta functions, irrational binary invariants, the Weddle surface and the Kummer surface. He was President of the American Mathematical Society from 1933 to 1934.
Gordon Thomas Whyburn was an American mathematician who worked on topology.
Thomas Craig was a professor at Johns Hopkins University and a proponent of the methods of differential geometry.
Mellen Woodman Haskell was an American mathematician, specializing in geometry, group theory, and applications of group theory to geometry.
Victor Joseph Katz is an American mathematician, historian of mathematics, and teacher known for using the history of mathematics in teaching mathematics.
Fabian Franklin (1853–1939) was an American engineer, mathematician and journalist, husband of Christine Ladd-Franklin.
Charles Albert Noble (1867–1962) was an American mathematician, professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
Karen Hunger Parshall is an American historian of mathematics.
David E. Rowe is an American mathematician and historian. He studied mathematics and the history of science at the University of Oklahoma, and took a second doctorate in history at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He served as book review editor, managing editor, and editor of the journal Historia Mathematica. In 1992, Rowe was appointed Professor of History of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz where he presently teaches. His research has mainly focused on mathematics in Germany, but in recent years he has been concerned with Einstein's general theory of relativity and the broader cultural and political impact of Einstein's ideas. As part of this effort, he and Robert Schulmann have co-edited a source book entitled Einstein on Politics: His Private Thoughts and Public Stands on Nationalism, Zionism, War, Peace, and the Bomb, published by Princeton University Press in 2007.
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs.
