The Unsolvable Math Problem Legend: A student arrives late to math class and finds two problems written on the chalkboard. Assuming they're homework problems, he jots them down in his notebook and works on the equations over the next few days before turning his solutions in to the instructor. Several weeks later, the professor turns up at the student's door with the student's work written up for publication. The two problems were not a homework assignment; they were problems previously thought to be unsolvable which the instructor had used as examples in his lecture that day. Variations: One version of this story involves a student who arrives late for an exam and finds three problems to solve written on the blackboard. He solves the first two quite easily but has to struggle until time has almost run out to solve the third. Later that evening the student receives a phone call from his instructor, who explains that the third problem was not part of the test but was an example of a problem that mathematicians had been trying to solve for years without success. Origins: This has to be one of the ultimate academic wish-fulfillment fantasies: a student not only proves himself the smartest one in his class, but also bests his professor and every other scholar in his field of study.

22. George B. Dantzig Prize george B. dantzig PRIZE. Theses funds are to be sent directly to SIAM, tobe contributed to the george B. dantzig Prize Fund in care of SIAM. http://www.caam.rice.edu/~mathprog/abmps/dantzig.html

GEORGE B. DANTZIG PRIZE Call for Nominations: 2000 Prize Guidelines The prize is awarded jointly by the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Amthematics (SIAM). The prize is awarded for original research, which by its originality, breadth and depth, is having a major impact on the field of mathematical programming. The contributions(s) for which the award is made must be publicly available and may beloong to any aspect of mathematical programming in its broadest sense. Strong preference will be given to candidates that have not reached their 50th birthday in the year of the award. The Prize Committee There will be an ad hoc Prize Committee appointed for each award jointly by the Chairman of MPS and the President of SIAM. The committee will consist of four members, one designated 'chairman' by the Chairman of MPS, and it will represent a diversified view of mathematical programming. Committee appointments should be made at least two years before the prize award date. The MPS has the responsibility to notify its Chairman and the President of SIAM to make the appointements. For continuity, committee members will normally serve on two successive prize committees with the committee chairman being a seond-term member. Thus two new members will be appointed and two members will be reappointed every three years. Committee members will be members of MPS and/or SIAM. At least two members of the committee will be MPS members and at least two will be members of SIAM. The membership of the committee should also reflect the international character of the societies.

PHIL My acquaintance with George Dantzig has been very long, at times a bit stormy, but generally - in the decomposition work, for example - we made a perfect pair. George is a genius. IRV A modest one at that. PHIL A modest one, but he has real originality. When he wades into a problem, he's unencumbered by the kind of baggage a lot of us have. He'll let the problem speak to him in its own language. I, on the other hand, have a wonderful mathematical education, and when I sit down to a problem, I say, "What is there in my known bag of tricks that I can apply to this?" George has the new ideas. In the collaborative work we did, I was the guy who could put the polish on it and put it in nice mathematical form. IRV Your interaction with George, around 1960, 1961, was the decomposition work. Twenty-five years later, he was my thesis advisor. I would describe the experience exactly the same way. I thought that this was an evolution, but you're describing how he's always been.

Tales of Statisticians George B Dantzig George Dantzig, son of Tobias Dantzig (author of Number: The Language of Science), is a statistician and the inventor, in 1947, of the revolutionary "simplex" method of linear programming - not a form of computer programming, but a method for resource logistics and deployment. This grew out of his work for the Army in WW2. Here is a story from Dantzig's student days. During my first year at Berkeley I arrived late one day to one of Neyman's classes. On the blackboard were two problems which I assumed had been assigned for homework. I copied them down. A few days later I apologized to Neyman for taking so long to do the homework the problems seemed to be a little harder to do than usual. I asked him if he still wanted the work. He told me to throw it on his desk. I did so reluctantly because his desk was covered with such a heap of papers that I feared my homework would be lost there forever. About six weeks later, one Sunday morning about eight o'clock, Anne and I were awakened by someone banging on our front door. It was Neyman. He rushed in with papers in hand, all excited: "I've just written an introduction to one of your papers. Read it so I can send it out right away for

27. Acquiring Statistics | Jerzy Neyman As george dantzig puts it, In his seventies and eighties he continued to runthe statistical laboratory at Berkeley. No one dared to contradict him. http://www.umass.edu/wsp/acquiring/tales/neyman.html

Tales of Statisticians Jerzy Neyman Jerzy (Polish for "George") Neyman was born in what presently became a part of Russia, and received his PhD in Warsaw. His early teaching was in the areas of mathematics and statistics. He did not invent, but was an early advocate of, random rather than representative testing, a position that is now generally accepted. He went to England in 1926 to work with the statistician Karl Pearson, whose work (and especially whose book The Grammar of Science) had been an early inspiration, but was disappointed to find him unacquainted with modern mathematics. Neyman pursued other interests in Paris (1927), attending the lectures of Lebesgue and Borel, but while still there his interest in statistics was renewed by an encounter with Karl Pearson's son, Egon Pearson, also then in Paris, who was trying to find a general principle from which Gosset's ("Student's") tests could be derived. Neyman returned to Warsaw in 1927, and with American funding attempted to set up a biometric laboratory, which came into existence as the Nencki Institute in 1928. He wrote several papers jointly with Egon Pearson, one of them relevant to the Gosset Problem, and the

32. Entrevista Con George B. Dantzig Translate this page george B. dantzig , el creador de la programación lineal, en una entrevistapublicada en The College Mathematical Journal, marzo de 1986. http://usuarios.lycos.es/royel/ENTREVISTA/

Investigación Operativa Entrevista con George B. Dantzig "Los que mandan generalmente mueven las manos y dicen 'He considerado todas las alternativas'. Pero eso es casi siempre basura. Lo más probable es que no pudiesen estudiar todas las combinaciones." George B. Dantzig , el creador de la programación lineal, en una entrevista publicada en The College Mathematical Journal , marzo de 1986. Se presenta a continuación, parte de esta entrevista: "Considere el problema de asignar 70 hombres a 70 empleos. Una 'actividad' consiste en asignar el iésimo hombre al j-ésimo empleo. Las restricciones son dos: en primer lugar hay 70 hombres, cada uno de los cuales debe asignarse a un puesto, y en segundo lugar, cada uno de los 70 puestos existentes debe estar ocupado. El nivel de una actividad puede ser 1, lo cual indica que está siendo usada, o 0, lo cual significa que no. En consecuencia hay 2 x 70 =140 restricciones y 70 x 70 = 4900 actividades con 4900 variables correspondientes de decisión uno-cero. Por desgracia también hay factorial de 70 permutaciones o formas de hacer las asignaciones. El problema consiste en comparar estas factorial de 70 formas y elegir la que sea la óptima o 'mejor' según algún criterio previamente establecido." "Cuando el problema de la plannificación fue formulado inicialmente para la Fuerza Aérea, no existía la noción exacta de una función objetivo, la idea de una meta claramente definida. Por supuesto, teníamos sólo un falso respeto hacia el concepto de objetivo. En el discurso de los militares escuché a menudo decir, 'nuestro objetivo es ganar la guerra'. En el mundo de los negocios se escucharía quizás 'nuestro objetivo es obtener ganancias'. Sin embargo, era imposible hallar alguna relación directa entre la meta establecida y las acciones emprendidas para tal fin."
