...batch of twelve papers went over the dam with an extra loud splash. Among them: the Berliner Tageblatt, once Germany's greatest liberal voice under exiled Editor Theodor Wolff; Kreuz-Zeitung, which Bismarck founded in 1848; the late Chancellor Dollfuss' Neue Freie Presse; the 236-year-old Wiener Zeitung...
Warned that Austrian veal was becoming scarce and that the famed Wiener Schnitzel cutlet would soon be a thing of the past, Nazi Commissioner Josef Burckel replied: "If higher interests demand the disappearance of the Wiener Schnitzel then what I say is-let the Wiener Schnitzel go to the devil...
When chubby little Norbert Wiener was 14, he graduated from Tufts College. Reporters hailed him, and parents of ordinary children predicted that he would be a flash in the pan. When Norbert was 18, he emerged from Harvard with a Ph.D. and an academic halo which grew brighter as he studied at Göttingen, Cambridge, Columbia. Today Norbert Wiener, at the age of 43, is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ranks as one of the topflight mathematicians in the U. S. A familiar figure on the Tech campus, with...
Professor Wiener belongs to the school of mathematicians who insist that the most abstract of studies be grounded in reality. His chief practical interest is the study of aeronautics, and last week at the semicentennial meeting of the American Mathematical Society he said: "It is a falsification of the history of mathematics to represent pure mathematics as a self-contained science drawing inspiration from itself alone and morally taking in its own washing." He then plunged eagerly into a discussion of his favorite field, harmonic analysis...
...series of simple, understandable oscillations. Thus mathematicians hope to predict how the shape of an airplane wing will affect the motion of the wind. Next practical step would be designing of a wing for more speed, safety, lift. Application of the "ergodic" theorem has proved very useful, said Dr. Wiener, rushing into a mass of detail so abstruse that not all his colleagues could understand him. Many unsolved problems on turbulent motion still remain, but Wiener's enthusiasm for harmonic analysis was so intense last week that California Tech's famed Eric Temple Bell was moved...
