Alyson Eckmann
Alyson "Aly" Rae Eckmann (born November 8, 1990) is an American journalist, singer, television and radio host.

Initially, Eckmann would stay for about ten months, although after finding work as a babysitter she stayed for two more years. After this, Eckmann went on vacation to the Canary Islands where she found the recording of the television program ''Un príncipe para Corina'', with which according to her: "I happened to stumble upon Corina's program, and without really knowing how, I ended up on TV." A casting director actually proposed the idea of participating in Cuatro's dating show. At first she was reluctant to it but finally accepted.

Beno Eckmann
Beno Eckmann (31 March 1917 – 25 November 2008) was a Swiss mathematician who made contributions to algebraic topology, homological algebra, group theory, and differential geometry. Life Born in Bern, Eckmann received his master's degree from Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH) in 1939. Later he studied there under Heinz Hopf, obtaining his Ph.D. in 1941. Eckmann was the 2008 recipient of the Albert Einstein Medal. Legacy Calabi–Eckmann manifolds, Eckmann–Hilton duality, the Eckmann–Hilton argument, and the Eckmann–Shapiro lemma are named after Eckmann. Family Eckmann's son is mathematical physicist Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. The ''Journal of Mathematical Physics'' defines the field as "the application of mathematics to problems in physics and the developmen ... Jean-Pierre Eckmann.

Chris M
''Empire Sandy'' is a tall ship providing chartered tours for the public from Toronto, Canada. She was built as an Englishman/ Larch Deep Sea-class tugboat for war service by the British government in 1943.Mitchell and Sawyer (1990) p. 304 After the end of World War II she was renamed ''Ashford'' and then ''Chris M'' before reverting to the original name of ''Empire Sandy'' and being converted to a schooner. Tugboat history ''Empire Sandy'' was one of 1,464 Empire ships built or acquired for war service by the British government. Built in England in 1943 as a deep sea tugboat, she was tasked with Royal Navy work and salvaging merchant ships damaged in the Battle of the Atlantic and other naval engagements during the Second World War. She served in the North Atlantic Ocean from Iceland to Sierra Leone, the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal during the Second World War. ''Empire Sandy''s Second World War 'Official Log-Books' documented all her wartime voy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean-Pierre Eckmann
Jean-Pierre Eckmann (born 27 January 1944) is a Swiss mathematical physicist in the department of theoretical physics at the University of Geneva and a pioneer of chaos theory and social network analysis.. Eckmann is the son of mathematician Beno Eckmann. He completed his PhD in 1970 under the supervision of Marcel Guenin at the University of Geneva. He has been a member of the Academia Europaea since 2001. In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society. He is also a member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities. With Pierre Collet and Oscar Lanford, Eckmann was the first to find a rigorous mathematical argument for the universality of period-doubling bifurcations in dynamical systems, with scaling ratio given by the Feigenbaum constants. In a highly cited 1985 review paper with David Ruelle, he bridged the contributions of mathematicians and physicists to dynamical systems theory and ergodic theory, put the varied work on dimension-like notions i ...

Max Eckmann
Max Th. Eckmann (November 9, 1851 – June 22, 1931) was an American politician from New York.

Otto Eckmann
Otto Eckmann (19 November 1865 – 11 June 1902) was a German painter and graphic artist. He was a prominent member of the "floral" branch of Jugendstil. He created the Eckmann typeface, which was based on Japanese calligraphy and medieval font design. Biography Otto Eckmann was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1865. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Hamburg and Nuremberg and at the academy in Munich. In 1894, Eckmann gave up painting (and auctioned off his works) in order to concentrate on applied design. He began producing graphic work for the magazines Pan in 1895 and Jugend which had roughly 20,000 readers every week in 1896. He also designed book covers for the publishers Cotta, Diederichs, Scherl and Seemann, as well as the logo for the publishing house S. Fischer Verlag. Eckmann used woodblock print for his work on Jugend magazine similar to japanese woodblock prints and later-adapted French styles. Eckmann's work differed from others in the art nouveau movement ...

Eckmann–Hilton Argument
In mathematics, the Eckmann–Hilton argument (or Eckmann–Hilton principle or Eckmann–Hilton theorem) is an argument about two unital magma structures on a Set (mathematics), set where one is a homomorphism for the other. Given this, the structures can be shown to coincide, and the resulting magma (algebra) , magma demonstrated to be commutative monoid. This can then be used to prove the commutativity of the higher homotopy groups. The principle is named after Beno Eckmann and Peter Hilton, who used it in a 1962 paper. The Eckmann–Hilton result Let X be a set equipped with two Binary operation, binary operations, which we will write \circ and \otimes, and suppose: # \circ and \otimes are both unital algebra, unital, meaning that there are elements 1_\circ and 1_\otimes of X such that 1_\circ \circ a= a =a \circ 1_\circ and 1_\otimes \otimes a= a =a \otimes 1_\otimes, for all a\in X. # (a \otimes b) \circ (c \otimes d) = (a \circ c) \otimes (b \circ d) for all a,b,c,d \in ...
