Mathematical Interrelations. Fefferman has written nine major papers on his specialty, Fourier analysis, a branch of mathematics pioneered by Joseph Fourier in the early 19th century. Fourier sought to explain wave phenomena in heat; his theories were later applied to water, light, sound and electricity. Fourier's breakthrough was essential to the development of atomic physics; and all communications equipment-radar, radio, television and so on-is dependent on his formulations...
When the age of sentiment arrived in the late 18th century, emotions, it is true, were treated with more forbearance. The Utopian socialist thinker Charles Fourier designed a "phalanstery" (from the Greek "phalanx"), a community where self-expression was to be freely indulged; its 1,600 inhabitants-the ideal number-would work and make love as they pleased, at least until the millennium came, when the oceans would be transformed into the kind of lemonade Fourier enjoyed at Paris cafes. But the principal passion of most Utopias continued to be rule making. A mythical land called Lithconia, invented...
From the Vietnamese we will have to learn, I will conclude with the women's liberation program from the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam. Fourier once explained that the change in a historical epoch can always be determined by the progress of women towards freedom and that the emancipation of women is the natural measure of general emancipation. Comparing the position of women in America and in Vietnam shows how much we must learn from the Vietnamese...
