...fourth of the fellows are male, only six of 50 are pursuing “irrelevant” “gendered” topics, and a fair share of them are studying such “fruitless” unscientific things as “The p-adic and mod p Local Langlands Correspondence,” “Microelectronic circuitry,” “string relations,” base DNA lesions, “Hadron colliders,” and “the physics of granular materials.” What feminist nonsense...
...sociology, and medical science to art history study. At Radcliffe, fellows work on topics such as the “Development of Techniques to Identify the Signatures of Little Higgs Models at the Large Hadron Collider with the ATLAS Detector” (physics) to “The p-adic and mod p Local Langlands Correspondence” (mathematics) to “Speech Perception in Noise: Models and Applications” (electrical engineering) to “International Human Rights Law in Uzbekistan” to “Militant Democrats: Political Repression in Western Europe?...
...probably wouldn’t find Professor of Mathematics Barry C. Mazur’s paper on the computation of p-adic heights and log convergence at, say, the Barker Center. But if he were to get his way, Mazur wouldn’t mind if English concentrators could at least understand the first few pages. The Gade University Prof explains that if you ask mathematicians to “talk about a 10-D space and visualize it,” it wouldn’t be a problem. But in “Imagining Numbers...
Bernstein in speaking from his cramped Science Center office, where he is now safely ensconced as the newest full professor in the Math Department. He is doing general research, as well as teaching a graduate course on p-adic fields. He arrived at Harvard this semester, following a stint as a visiting professor at the University of Maryland and his emigration from the Soviet Union in the summer...
...revising truth-function theory. Yet this is no less conceivable than the other point: that if we come up against an irreconcilable logical contradiction, we might consider replacing the dyadic notion of truth, by which a proposition takes only the values "true" or "false," with a triadic or n-adic notion. W. V. Quine mentions this possibility in the introduction to his Methods of Logic: Newman, as a writer with his finger on the mathematical pulse of science ought to transmit to non-scientists what he can about notions like these...
