What is it famous for? The Whitehead Institute is probably one of those places that's famous for being famous. But that's not to say it doesn't deserve its reputation. Despite its relatively small staff — only 15 scientists are on the faculty — the Whitehead has a publication record that puts it among the top research institutions in genetics and molecular biology. What's its focus? Work there ...

Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947) never wrote a comprehensive work in philosophy of education, but he occasionally delivered lectures concerned with educational policy. These incisive talks are collected in his book The Aims of Education and Other Essays. Whitehead and Dewey were contemporaries, and their ideas are in some notable respects similar. Like Dewey, Whitehead stresses the importance...

The (constrained) canonical reduction of four-dimensional self-dual Yang–Mills theory to two-dimensional Fitzhugh–Nagumo and the real Newell–Whitehead equations are considered. On the other hand, other methods and transformations are developed to obtain exact solutions for the original two-dimensional Fitzhugh–Nagumo and Newell– Whitehead equations. The corresponding gauge potential Al and the ...

The connections between Whitehead groups and uniformization properties were investigated by the third author in [9]. In particular it was essentially shown there that there is a non-free Whitehead (respectively, א1-coseparable) group of cardinality א1 if and only if there is a ladder system on a stationary subset of ω1 which satisfies 2-uniformization (respectively, ω-uniformization).

In this paper we discuss a genetic version (GWA) of Whitehead Algorithm, which is one of the basic algorithms in combinatorial group theory. It turns out that GWA is surprisingly fast and outperforms the standard Whitehead algorithm in free groups of rank > 5. Experimenting with GWA we collected an interesting numerical data that clarifies the time-complexity of Whitehead’s Problem in general. ...
