Embedding Projective Spaces by M. Mahowald and R. James Milgram

1. Haefliger reduced the question of embedding manifolds in the Euclidian space R to a homotopy problem in [ö]. Since then it has been of some interest to find examples of ^-manifolds which embed in R~ for a given k. In particular great effort has been spent studying embeddings of the various projective spaces. However, the k that were thus obtained were in no cases larger than 5 or 6 (see for ...

James R. Anderson Lecture: "Why Things Are Where They Are"

Have you ever wondered why things are where they are? Most people probably don’t think about this question much. Through life’s experiences we learned that certain things can be expected to be where they are relative to other things. Schools are near residential neighborhoods. Doctor’s offices are near hospitals. Unless something calls attention to it, you probably don’t think about why somethi...

Contributions of Prof . James R . Melcher to engineering education

This paper reviews the teaching and research career of the late Professor James R. Melcher. It describes his approach to the teaching of electric and magnetic fields bolstered by the lecture demonstrations he had developed. He is considered the founder of the modern day field of electrohydrodynamics. His undergraduate courses, reinforced by educational films which are briefly described, gave st...
