In July 1935, Bell signed a contract with Simon and Schuster, for a book to be titled The Lives of Mathematicians. [1] He delivered the manuscript at the beginning of November 1935 as promised, but was unhappy when the publishers made him cut about a third of it (125,000 words), and, in order to tie in with their book Men of Art (by Thomas Craven), gave it the title Men of Mathematics which he ...
Eric Temple Bell (7 February 1883 – 21 December 1960) was a Scottish-born mathematician, educator and science fiction writer who lived in the United States for most of his life. [1] He published non-fiction using his given name and fiction as John Taine .

The permutations that avoid the generalized patterns 12-3, 32-1, 3-21, 1-32, 3-12, 21-3, and 23-1 are also counted by the Bell numbers. [4] The permutations in which every 321 pattern (without restriction on consecutive values) can be extended to a 3241 pattern are also counted by the Bell numbers. [ 5 ]
God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History is a 2005 anthology, edited by Stephen Hawking, of "excerpts from thirty-one of the most important works in the history of mathematics." [1] Each chapter of the work focuses on a different mathematician and begins with a biographical overview. Within each chapter ...
James Gregory FRS (November 1638 – October 1675) was a Scottish mathematician and astronomer.His surname is sometimes spelt as Gregorie, the original Scottish spelling.He described an early practical design for the reflecting telescope – the Gregorian telescope – and made advances in trigonometry, discovering infinite series representations for several trigonometric functions.
This type of mesh is a square grid of uniformly placed wires, welded at all intersections, and meeting the requirements of ASTM A185 and A497 or other standards. [1] The sizes are specified by combining the spacing, in inches or mm, and the wire cross section area in hundredths of square inches or mm2.
Then G an, the complex points of G considered as a Lie group, has a compact subgroup K that is Zariski-dense. [1] For the case of the special linear group, this result was proved for its special unitary subgroup by Issai Schur (1924, presaged by earlier work). [2] The special linear group is a complex semisimple Lie group.
