A Geometer ’ s View of Space - Time
Mathematicians have always struggled with the difficulty of describing to nonmathematicians what they do. This difficulty is said to account for all sorts of ills, such as meager federal funding for mathematics research, low student interest in mathematics, and lack of appreciation for mathematics as a force in human culture. The easiest way to deal with the difficulty is to describe applicatio...
متن کاملAdolf Gru$ nbaum on religious delusions
Gru$ nbaum claims it is possible that all belief in God is a delusion, meaning a false belief which is engendered by irrational psychological motives. I dispute this on the grounds that in many cases belief in God is engendered by purely cultural factors, and this is incompatible with its being engendered by psychological ones. Gru$ nbaum also claims that saying a culturally engendered belief c...
متن کاملAdolf Hitler had post-encephalitic Parkinsonism.
Adolf Hitler had Parkinson symptoms in 1934, at age 45 years. He may have had transient symptoms in 1923, at age 34 years. Young-onset parkinsonism, during the 1920s, favored a diagnosis of post-encephalitic rather than idiopathic parkinsonism. Hitler had oculogyric crises, phenomena only associated with post-encephalitic parkinsonism. In addition, he had dystonic facial spasms, palilalia and a...
متن کاملHurwitz’ Theorem
In this article we describe several results based on the paper [Hur98] and which we will refer to as Hurwitz’ theorem. There are several related results: the classification of real normed division algebras, the classification of complex composition algebras and the classification of real composition algebras. The classification of real division algebras is an open problem. Our interest is in co...
متن کاملHurwitz spaces
1.1 The classical Hurwitz space and the moduli of curves The classical Hurwitz space first appeared in the work of Clebsch [5] and Hurwitz [17] as an auxiliary object to study the moduli space of curves. Let X be a smooth projective curve of genus g over C. A rational function f : X → P of degree n is called simple if there are at least n − 1 points on X over every point of P. Such a cover has ...
