His undergraduate students have included Mark Zuckerberg (whose website "Six Degrees to Harry Lewis" was a precursor to Facebook – six degrees being a reference to the small world hypothesis), [Note 5] Microsoft founder Bill Gates (who solved an open theoretical problem Lewis had described in class), [Note 1] and nine future Harvard professors.
HMMT is a semiannual (biannual) high school mathematics competition that started in 1998. [1] [2] The Autumn (November) tournament is held annually at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the Spring (February) tournament is held annually at MIT, also in Cambridge.
1944 – Howard Aiken '37 (PhD) developed the Mark I series of computers, the first large-scale automatic digital computer in the U.S. Around the same time, a new generation of technically trained students began to share their knowledge well beyond Harvard's campus. Alumnus and donor Allen E. Puckett SB '39, SM '41 created an endowed ...
Undergraduate applications to Harvard University dipped to four-year lows for the class of 2028, according to new figures that offer early clues into how the Ivy League school’s reputation has ...
As of 2019, Harvard's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences had 4,521 students, with the vast majority (4,392 students) pursuing PhDs. [1] 46% of GSAS students are women, 30% of students are international, and 12% are underrepresented minorities. 20% of GSAS students pursue degrees in humanities, 26% in social sciences, and the remaining 54% in ...
The conjecture is that there is a simple way to tell whether such equations have a finite or infinite number of rational solutions. More specifically, the Millennium Prize version of the conjecture is that, if the elliptic curve E has rank r, then the L-function L(E, s) associated with it vanishes to order r at s = 1.
Many students work in groups to solve them and help get a better understanding of the material, [6] [7] but most professors require each student to hand in their own individual problem set. Some professors explicitly encourage collaboration, [ 5 ] [ 6 ] some allow it, and some explicitly disallow it [ 3 ] or consider it cheating.
The Harvard Graduate School of Education (HGSE) is the education school of Harvard University, a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
