Extractions: by Karen Shenfeld Alexander Vladimirovich Arhangel'skii walked briskly up a tree-lined avenue toward the tiered "Stalinist Gothic" towers of Moscow State University. "Topology," he said, slightly out of breath, "is the study of absolute nearness ... the absolute, infinite nearness of `a point' to `a set.' Consider, if you will, the present moment as a topologist would: it is, simply put, `a point' in time, which is infinitely near to `the set of all points' in the past, and infinitely near, without the slightest gap, to `the set of all points' in the future. A topologist can represent, with mathematical rigour, the essence of the present moment. He has only to recall the topological structure of `the real line.' " It seemed ironic that, even as he was speaking of the infinite nearness of points in time, the eminent Russian mathematician should be running 15 minutes late for the seminar he teaches at six o'clock on Monday evenings. An hour earlier, he had been standing at the door of his apartment, changing out of his slippers and into his oxfords, when the telephone had rung. An old friend was on the line, and Alexander Vladimirovich had sat down on a rickety wooden chair in the entrance hall for a chat. He might have cut the conversation short had he known that he would have to wait longer than usual for the Lomonosovskii-Prospekt bus.

Extractions: History and General Information This seminar was the first regular meeting of developing Moscow topological school. It was organized in 1924 by Pavel S. Alexandroff and Pavel S. Urysohn. Starting from its first sessions, the most famous specialists in Topology and related fields participated in its work. Alexandroff supervised this seminar for a period of almost 60 years, until his death in 1982. In the period 1982-1983 the seminar was supervised by Yuri M. Smirnov. Since 1983 the seminar is supervised by Vitaly V. Fedorchuk , Head of Department of General Topology and Geometry of Moscow University. Nowadays this seminar, being the principal research seminar of Department of General Topology and Geometry, has actually grown from all-Moscow to all-Union scope, since it is frequently attended by scientists from different institutions of the Soviet Union (now Russia and CIS). Topologists from the World visiting Moscow do also take part in the seminar sessions and deliver lectures. The following Moscow topologists (beside the associates of the Department ) are active participants of the seminar: Alexander G. Yel'kin

Extractions: Transcript Number 42 (PMC42) (with ALBERT TUCKER) This is an interview on 12 July 1984 with Robert Walker of Pittsburgh. The interviewers are Albert Tucker and William Aspray, interviewing by telephone from Princeton. Tucker: Let's start with how it was that you came to Princeton. Walker: I was at what was then Carnegie-Tech; it's now Carnegie-Mellon. I was in engineering, but they had a special mathematics program. The head of that was a very smart, I mean intelligent, but not much trained mathematically, old German named Otto Geckeler, Otto T. Geckeler. He was known to the students as "Zero T". He was an irrascible German, but Lefschetz reminded me somewhat of him. Tucker: Oh yes. Walker: I got along with him very well indeed. I had no idea that there was such a thing as a professional mathematician when I went there. My idea of a mathematician was somebody who taught in high school. But he told me about the possibilities and encouraged me to go on to graduate work. And since I had been very much interested in geometry there, he strongly suggested Princeton. So my family put up enough money to carry me through the first year, even though I had no fellowship or anything. That was the way it worked. I had a little trouble getting into Princeton, as a matter of fact. I think that in those days old Dean West was kind of fussy about your background. He much preferred people with a more humanistic background, not these hardheaded engineers. I finally did make it in, and after that there was no great trouble.

Extractions: Tree climbing - family tree climbing- can be a rewarding experience. There, waiting for you- in an old churchyard, in parish records, in Grandfather's oral history or in that bunch of letters you found up in the attic- is a genetic inheritance that goes back, generation upon generation, into the mists of time Each one of us is the sum of many parts. And how can we truly know ourselves if we know not from whence we came? I have long been fascinated by these unseen influences, these gifts from the past. And I am fortunate; a lot of digging into family history was done before I was born. Musty documents in cardboard boxes dot my childhood landscape, along with fading photographs and the occasionally embroidered remembrance by aged aunts. Exploring the past is an occupation I highly recommend; climbing the family tree can offer an enthralling view when you reach the upper branches. Here are a few of the more interesting folk whose genes I have inherited and who have, without ever knowing it, helped shape my life. It's a way, perhaps, of saluting them from a great distance, creating a memorial for them that would have been beyond their wildest imaginings. And if you think you're a part, however distant, of my extended family, I'd be delighted to hear from you and pass on all the information I have.

Aleksandrov_Aleksandr Aleksandr Danilovic Aleksandrov. Born 4 Aug 1912 in Volyn, Ryazan, RussiaDied 27 July 1999. Click the picture above to see a larger version http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Aleksandrov_Aleksandr.ht
Extractions: Aleksandr Danilovic Aleksandrov 's father was the headmaster of a secondary school in St Petersburg and his mother was a teacher at the same school. In fact, although he was born in the village of Volyn, he lived in St Petersburg from a very young age. Of course this is not strictly true, since when Aleksandrov was two years old St Petersburg changed its name to Petrograd. Aleksandrov attended school in Petrograd but while he was at school the name of the city in which he lived changed yet again and so by the time he left school in 1928 it was a Leningrad school from which he graduated. When Aleksandrov left school he did not intend to study mathematics but rather his interests were in physics. Therefore when he entered Leningrad University in 1929 he set out on a theoretical physics course in the Faculty of Physics. In 1930, while still only 18 years of age, he began original work on optics in the Optics Institute. However Aleksandrov was taught mathematics in the Faculty of Physics by B N Delone Delone 's interests in the geometry of numbers and the structure of crystals soon began to attract Aleksandrov at least as much as his work in physics which was supervised by V A Fok.
Extractions: Find the art you want by selecting the exact specifications from the choices shown below. PLEASE NOTE: A search of over 140,000 prints using detailed criteria can take as long as three minutes or more. The actual time your search will take will depend on how many prints we find that match your criteria. For example, selecting "Oriental" decor as the only criteria takes more than 3 minutes to find over 800 matching prints. Finding "Oriental" decor and "Floral/Plants" subject finds 200+ prints in less than a minute. Adding a primary color drops the search time to mere seconds. Therefore, limiting the search by selecting all the criteria you really want will make the search much faster.
