An Investigation of the Generic Features of Research Articles Published in the Bulletin of Iranian Mathematical Society

In light of the understanding that the analysis of the generic features of different academic genres can enhance the ability of non-native members of academic discourse communities to understand, and where appropriate, to produce them, the present study aimed at investigating the dominant generic structure of research articles in mathematics. To start with a relatively narrow focus, a corpus of...

BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY

The year 1948 saw the publication of Andre Weil’s monograph Sur les Courves Algebriques et les Variétés qui s’en Deduisent and of Claude Shannon’s work on The mathematical theory of communication. The first gave the details of Weil’s celebrated proof of the Riemann Hypothesis for algebraic curves over finite fields, while the second lay down the foundations for information theory, including the...

BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY

The author writes in the preface: “Discrete Convex Analysis is aimed at establishing a novel theoretical framework for solvable discrete optimization problems by means of a combination of the ideas in continuous optimization and combinatorial optimization.” Thus the reader may conclude that the book presents a new theory (the name “discrete convex analysis” was, apparently, coined by the author...

This is an outline of my Gibbs Lecture to the American Mathematical Society in January 1994; it is essentially a sign-posted guide to a still-developing literature.
