Eva M. Silverstein '92 does research in quantum mechanical systems with Arthur M. Jaffe, professor of mathematics and theoretical science. Jaffe say he was pleasantly surprised how much he learned from working with Silverstein.
The danger from prescription-drug ads is that they can mislead patients into believing they know better than their physician which medicine is best. Says Dr. Israeli Jaffe, a professor at Columbia University: "There's no question that certain physicians are being influenced to issue prescriptions that they would not...
The investor's gift takes the form of 24 yearly payments of nearly $200,000. Jaffe said the department has already received its first installment of the gift and is using it to support about 10 visiting Soviet mathematical students and scholars.
Because the terms of the gift bar the department from immediately founding a professorship with Clay's money, it will probably be spent "to deal with our highest priorities...on a year-to-year basis," Jaffe said.
Jaffe said the money could be used to help make "extraordinary new appointments[s]" of top mathematicians to the department's small faculty, but refused to say whom he had in mind. "That would help our competition," Jaffe said.
