Applied Mathematics 206, "Tensor Analysis and Applications," will be one of two new course in its field. Carl E. Pearson, assistant professor of Applied Mechanics, will give Applied Physics 285, "Advanced Thermodynamies," and Bruce Chalmers, Gordon McKay Professor of Metallurgy, will teach Engineering Sciences 190, "Engineering Materials...
...turn came one day in class when a graduate student named Wayne Overman began asking the professor some knotty questions about tensor density, an esoteric aspect of upper-story mathematics. To Overman's surprise, Yates seemed completely unaware of an outstanding German authority on the subject, and more surprising still, he had precious little knowledge of technical German terms. So Student Overman took it upon himself to look Yates up in American Men of Science. Sure enough, Yates was there, Ohio degrees and all-but he was listed as a research director of the Pure Oil Co., a Chicago...
