In December 2000, the Czech Association for Mechanics and the Union
of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists again awarded the I. Babuska
Prize for the best work in scientific computing submitted by students and
young scientists.
The Prize winner for 2000 is Dr Gabriela Holubova from the Faculty of
Applied Sciences of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. The
work honored was her PhD thesis Systems of evolution partial differential equations: the existence and qualitative properties of solutions. Let us mention that she got a diploma of honor in the

Why Calculus?
Sir Isaac Newton, 1643-1727 Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, 1646-1716
Back to Helmer Aslaksen's home page.
Objectives of the Module
The goal of the course is to show why calculus has served as the principal quantitative language of science for more than three hundred years. How did Newton and Leibniz transform a bag of tricks into a powerful tool for both mathematics and science? Why is calculus so useful in geometry, physics, probability and economics? Why are mathematicians so concerned with rigor in calculus? Since calculus is about calculating, what is the relationship between calculus and computers? What is the relationship between calculus and new topics like chaos and nonlinearity? If you want to understand what calculus is really about, then this is the course for you.
Topics to be Covered
Ancient peoples, driven by natural curiosity and the demands of applications, confronted the problems of finding areas and volumes of various shapes. Their methods of solving these problems may be regarded as precursors to integration . Outstanding in this regard was the work of the Greeks, exemplified by Archimedes' solutions to numerous problems of quadrature, and the works of the Chinese mathematicians Liu Hui and Zu Chongzhi. Concepts resembling differentiation did not arise until much later.

FIRST IT ALI AN CHINESE COLLOQUIUM ON NEW CONTRIBUTIONS ON MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF DIFFUSION PROBLEMS
PROPOSED BY S ALVATORE R IONERO and P AOLO F ERGOLA (Naples,Italy), M A Z HIEN and X U Z HONGBEN (Xi'an,China)

The First italian-chinese colloquium is the main part of the morning sessions of the 4th International Meeting on Mathematics and Environment. It represents a natural enlargement of a long and fruitful scientific cooperation among neapolitan and chinese mathematicians, belonging to Federico II University of Naples and Xi'an Jiaotong University of Xi'an. It can be viewed as the official occasion to make stronger such a cooperation as well as to extend it to other italian and chinese universities, by including new and important research topics. The interest of this colloquium is also related to the high attention presently payed to the environmental problems both in Italy and in China, by scientist and government authorities. One of the main aims of this colloquium is to give an opportunity for the proposal of new italian-chinese research cooperation projects.

Computer Error by X
When one speaks today of "computer error," one is most often referring to a flaw in the electronic or mechanical functioning of a programmed machine. An extraordinary case of computer error occurred long before the advent of mechanical and electronic computers, however, as noted by Charles Babbage in an 1827 publication entitled On Errors Common to Many Tables of Logarithms Early astronomers spent long periods of time making calculations for tracking and predicting the orbits of comets, planets, and moons, and for determining the occurrence of eclipses. For example, in calculating the orbit of Halley's Comet, the French astronomer Joseph de Lalande (1732-1807) said:
    During six months, we calculated from morning till night, sometimes even at meals, the consequence of which was, that I contracted an illness which changed my constitution for the remainder of my life. The assistance rendered by Madame Lepaute was such, that without her, we never could have dared to undertake the enormous labour, in which it was necessary to calculate the distance of each of the two planets, Jupiter and Saturn, from the comet, and their attraction upon that body, separately for every successive degree, and for 150 years.
Charles Fort often ridiculed astronomers for this activity, because they would explain by mathematical calculations what they could not observe through their telescopes, in other words, because they were substituting theory for empirical fact. The profusion of false astronomical predictions and pronouncements that Fort so gleefully pointed out may be largely attributed to the "computer error" that Babbage noted.

UNIVERSITY OF JOENSUU
Department of Mathematics
Considering the geographical location of Joensuu, it is remarkable, and to the credit of those responsible, that such strong mathematical research is being performed here. The panel is impressed by what has been achieved by relatively modest means. One can only hope that the budget crunch with ensuing bigger teaching load and less time for research will not completely wipe out this growing plant. The University of Joensuu has slowly changed from a teacher training college to a modern university. However, the recruitment base for mathematicians is still small, and graduate students hard to find. Nevertheless the mathematics department has managed to produce quite a few PhDs albeit by taking some foreign students.
CLIFFORD ALGEBRAS AND POTENTIAL THEORY
Sirkka-Liisa Eriksson-Bique
Eriksson-Bique has earlier worked in (abstract) potential theory but has now taken up the study of quarternions and, more generally, n-dimensional Clifford algebras, and is making contributions to so-called hypercomplex analysis, i.e. the effort to extend the classical theory of holomorphic functions of one complex variable to spaces of higher (real) dimensions. In this she is cooperating with H. Leutwiler in Erlangen. The calculus of hypercomplex functions is complicated, due to the non-commutativity of the Clifford algebra, making even the treatment of powers nontrivial. New formulas and calculation tools are required, and in this vane Eriksson-Bique has derived e.g. formulas for binomial coefficients and derivatives of powers. Although it is not quite clear where these efforts will or could lead, it gives rise to intriguing problems requiring ingenuity and perseverance to solve.

Abstracts of Term Papers Duncan Chapman The Continuing Development of Ethical Medical Practice Based on Scientific Discoveries and Cultural Milieu: From Athens to Ann Arbor. Ethics and medical practice in ancient Greece were most heavily influenced by Hippocrates and Galen. To show how modern ethics and medicine relate to the practice in ancient Greece I decided to have them time travel to Ann Arbor. During the process they both acquire colds and check into a local hospital. From their encounter they reflect on how our health care system compares to their ethical codes and views of medicine. I felt this would be a unique way to show how the two major contributors to Greek medicine and ethics would view our practice of medicine, in the wake of corporate takeover and scientific advancements. In a sense current medical practices result from the struggle between scientific discoveries and their acceptance in contemporary society.

Top Mathematicians Worry About Future of China's Maths Studies (8/22/2002)
While optimists see the ongoing International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) in Beijing as a sign of China's nearing the top of the global mathematics class, several leading mathematicians have expressed concerns over the future of maths studies in the world's most populous nation. "Chinese mathematical studies still lag far behind world-class level," said Shing-Tung Yau, a Chinese-American with membership of both countries national science academies. A professor of mathematics at Harvard University, Yau is the only Chinese to win the prestigious Fields Medal Prize awarded to the world's top mathematicians. Chen Mufa, a Chinese professor of mathematics who will deliver an hour-long plenary lecture during the nine-day conference, echoed Yau's comments. He conceded that Chinese maths studies currently lagged behind a number of countries including the United States, Germany, France, Japan, Russia and Canada. After big names like Hua Luogeng, Shiing-shen Chern and Chen Jingrun, China had hardly contributed any outstanding master mathematicians to world maths circles in the past two decades, said Wu Wenjun, a prominent member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is also chairman of the current ICM. Some experts believe that in Chinese society today, with people becoming increasingly pragmatic, basic sciences are losing their popularity and could face a bleak future without extra support from the government.
