美国总统奥巴马在白宫发表电视讲话悼念曼德拉时说: “自己对曼德拉的逝世感到悲痛, 指曼德拉一生追求理想, 并付诸行动, 追求建立正义自由的社会. 他的离世是一大损失, 世界失去一位典范. 奥巴马赞扬曼德拉是时代人物, 无人能及. 现在, 让我们暂时停下来, 感谢曼德拉曾经存在过. 他是一个用自己双手书写历史的伟人, 他将整个精神世界拉向了正义的一边. ” 奥巴马还说, 他和无数人一样, 曼德拉的一生给了他积极的启发. 他现在不再属于我们, 他属于这个时代. 历史永远会记住他.” “Obama: “Nelson Mandela lived for that ideal, and he made it real. He achieved more than could be expected of any man. Today, he has gone home. And we have lost one of the most influential, courageous, and profoundly good human beings that any of us will share time with on this Earth. a man who took history in his hands, and bent the arc of the moral universe toward justice. He no longer belongs to us — he belongs to the ages.”
“The Washington Post(华盛顿邮报)”发表社论作出的评价是: “罗斯福, 斯大林, 丘吉尔, 希特勒……这些是决定 20世纪上半叶的名字; 甘地, 马丁路德·金, 曼德拉, 则是对战后世界有着重大影响的人物.”
自1989 年开始, Ostrowski 基金会每两年发一次奖, 奖金 \(100,000\) Swiss francs(瑞士法郎), 奖励 for recent outstanding achievements in pure mathematics and in the foundations of numerical mathematics. 该奖 1997 年的获得者是 Andrew J. Wiles; 2001 年由 Henryk Iwaniec, Peter Sarnak, Richard L. Taylor 三人分享荣誉; 2005年的奖励授予 Ben Green 和 Terence Tao.
Ostrowski 基金的目的是为了促进数学科学. The Foundation A. M. Ostrowski for an international prize in higher mathematics was created by Alexander Markovich Ostrowski (1893-1986) who from 1928 to 1958 was professor of mathematics at the University of Basel.
一个月前, Springer 推出了 Ronald L. Graham, Jaroslav Nešetřil, Steve Butler 的两卷本大作 “The Mathematics of Paul Erdős” 的第二版.
早在 2002 年, Springer 曾出版过 Gabor Halasz , Laszlo Lovasz, Miklos Simonovits, Vera T. Sós 的 “Paul Erdős and His Mathematics“, 也是两卷.不过后来合并为一本 1400 页的书.
“N Is a Number: A Portrait of Paul Erdős” 是一部 57 分钟的电影. The Story of Paul Erdős–a Wandering Mathematician Obsessed with Unsolved Problems.
影片的导演是 George Paul Csicsery, 1988-1991 制作, capturing Erdős in various countries along with some of his numerous collaborators. It covers his unusual career, his personal life, and many of his recurring jokes and anecdotes, including that of Erdős numbers.
这电影获得两个奖项: the Gold Apple Award (National Educational Film & Video Festival), and the Gold Plaque Award.
Peter Scholze 是德国(Germany)数学家, 主要的工作领域是算术代数几何(arithmetic Algebraic geometry).
Peter Scholze 非常年轻, 他 1987 年 12 月 11 日出生在德国萨克森州(Free State of Saxony)的首府城市德累斯顿(Dresden). Peter Scholze 入读的是座落在 Berlin-Friedrichshain 的一所侧重于数学与自然科学的语言学校 Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium.
