The Mathematical Intelligencer flunks the Olympics
The Mathematical Intelligencer recently published a note by Y. Sergeyev that challenges both mathematics and intelligence. We examine Sergeyev's claims concerning his purported Infinity computer. We compare his grossone system with the classical Levi-Civita fields and with the hyperreal framework of A. Robin-son, and analyze the related algorithmic issues inevitably arising in any genuine compu...
متن کاملA Mathematical Theory of Evidence turns 40
This year, 2016, is the 40th anniversary of the publication of A Mathematical Theory of Evidence. Thierry Denoeux, the editor of International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, has asked me to use the occasion to reflect on how I came to write the book and how I experienced its subsequent reception. I am honored and pleased by this invitation. The occasion has reminded me how many individuals h...
متن کاملReview of the Siam Hundred Digit Challenge Prepared for the Mathematical Intelligencer
Lists, challenges and competitions have a long and primarily lustrous history in mathematics. Consider the Hilbert and the Millennium problems. This is the story of a recent highly successful challenge. The book under review also makes it clear that with the continued advance of computing power and accessibility, the view that “real mathematicians don’t compute” has little traction, especially ...
متن کاملReflections on the Lemniscate of Bernoulli: The Forty-Eight Faces of a Mathematical Gem
Thirteen simple closed geodesics are found in the lemniscate. Among these are nine “mirrors”—geodesics of reflection symmetry—which generate the full octahedral group and determine a triangulation of the lemniscate as a disdyakis dodecahedron. New visualizations of the lemniscate are presented.
متن کاملCrumbs turns the corner
rumbs (Crb) helps flies distinguish apical from basal in their epithelia. Now two new studies show that it is required for cell expansion independently of its specification of apical polarity. During cell expansion, the apical domain of photoreceptors elongates perpendicular to the apical–basal axis so that the domain can extend from the top to the bottom of the fly eye. The process may be cons...
