France has a long tradition in the publication of mathematics. The very first “mathematics only” journal in the world, the Annales de Gergonne was published from 1810 to 1831 and several of the foremost current mathematical journals are published in France today. This paper will develop the original work of the “MathDoc” team to make accessible these and other journals, and more generally to pr...

Tests are described comparing the sensitivity of the Erickson dipole feeds with the new strut-straddling Modified J-Pole (MJP) feeds using the new VLA Lowband receivers in the 54-86 MHz window. These tests show that the sensitivity of the MJP feeds for the “B” mounting position is comparable to the Erickson dipoles. For the “C” mounting position the MJP sensitivity is a factor of two worse than...

T he veracity of scientific research has become a topic of public discussion recently [1]. This article examines why mathematicians correct errors at a slower pace than many other researchers (see Figure 1). Some sociological aspects of mathematics research may make mathematicians averse to publishing corrections, while mathematics journals have comparatively weak procedures to assure the corre...
