Sharing this year's three-way Nobel Prize for chemistry are German Chemist Manfred Eigen, 40; Ronald G.W. Norrish, 70, professor emeritus of physical chemistry at Cambridge University; and Norrish's onetime student George Porter, 48, now a professor of chemistry. Eigen, Norrish and Porter were honored for their studies of rapid chemical reactions, which date from the late 1940s and early 1950s. Their Nobel-winning research revealed the subtle changes that take place during chemical reactions that last only one-billionth of a second. All three came to their award-winning conclusions by subjecting samples of various...
...three prominent scientists: John Rock '15, Clinical Professor of Gynecology, Emeritus and a pioneer in birth control (LL.D.); John H. Van Vleck, former dean of the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics and a forerunner in discoveries in quantum theory, who received a Doctor of Science; and chemist Manfred Eigen, division director at Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry at Goettingen, Germany, a pioneer in perfecting techniques to measure chemical reactions to a minute fraction of a second, who also received a Doctor of Science...
...tiny steps really lead anywhere? A clue comes from comparing the first simple frames of a typical program with later ones. Here is frame No. 3 of Mathematician Lewis D. Eigen's Sets, Relations, and Functions, recently published for junior high schools by New York's nonprofit Center for Programed Instruction...
...means that (7) is a - of (1,3,5,7,9). Algebra Speedup. Theintervening 85 frames obviously carried the student a long way. Eigen and Teacher P. Kenneth Komoski did some pioneer math programing at Manhattan's Collegiate School, one of the oldest U.S. boys' schools, and in one case 74 students completed in two weeks a highly abstract algebra course that used to take more than two months. A programed course in logic at Hamilton College cut class time by one-third. At Columbia University, one student wrote a perfect.final exam after doing one term...
