Paul Erdős was a searcher, a searcher for mathematical truth. Paul’s place in the mathematical pantheon will be a matter of strong debate, for in that rarefied atmosphere he had a unique style. The late Ernst Straus said it best in a commemoration of Erdős’s seventieth birthday. In our century, in which mathematics is so strongly dominated by “theory constructors” he has remained the prince of ...

On October 18, 1996, hundreds of people, including many mathematicians, gathered at Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest to pay their last respects to Paul Erdős. If there was one theme suggested by the farewell orations, it was that the world of mathematics had lost a legend, one of its great representatives.

Classification in e - procurement Paul

Three coupled knowledge transfer partnerships used pattern recognition techniques to produce an e-procurement system which, the National Audit Office reports, could save the National Health Service £500 m per annum. An extension to the system, GreenInsight, allows the environmental impact of procurements to be assessed and savings made. Both systems require suitable products to be discovered an...

Cell scientist to watch - Celeste Nelson.

Celeste earned her first degrees in Biology and Chemical Engineering in 1998 at MIT. From there she moved to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to pursue her PhD in Biomedical Engineering in Christopher Chen's laboratory. Before starting her own group at Princeton University in 2007, Celeste worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Mina Bissell's group in the Life Sciences Division at La...
