Erwin Bolthausen
Erwin Bolthausen (born 15 October 1945 in Rohr, Aargau) is a Swiss mathematician, specializing in probability theory, statistics, and stochastic models in mathematical physics. Education and career Bolthausen received his doctorate in mathematics under Beno Eckmann in 1973 from ETH Zurich. Bolthausen's thesis was entitled ''Einfache Isomorphietypen in lokalisierten Kategorien und einfache Homotopietypen von Polyeder'' (Simple isomorphic types in localized categories and simple homotopy types of polyhedra). In 1978 he completed his habilitation at the University of Konstanz and was then an associate professor of mathematics at the Goethe University Frankfurt for the academic year 1978–1979. From 1979 to 1990 he was a full professor at the Technical University of Berlin. Since 1990 he is a full professor at the University of Zurich, (with CV & links to many preprints) where he headed the ''Institut für Mathematik'' from 1998 to 2001. In the early years of his career Bolthausen di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Saint-Flour, Cantal
Saint-Flour (; Auvergnat: ''Sant Flor'') is a commune in the Cantal department in the Auvergne region in south-central France, around 100 km south of Clermont-Ferrand. Its inhabitants are called ''Sanflorains''. Geography The upper city (''ville haute'') of Saint-Flour is located on the abrupt volcanic dike Planèze, the lower city (''ville basse'' or "Faubourg") extends on the banks of the Ander. History There are numerous dolmens in the neighborhood and scattered traces of Bronze Age occupation. Roman occupation is signalled by two Roman villas of middling importance, one near the railroad station, the other a modest Augustan-age villa near the hamlet of Roueyre, part of Saint-Flour. The Roman name of this small ''vicus'' was ''Indiciacum'' or ''Indiciacus'', which evolved into ''Indiciat'' in the sub-Roman period, a reference to the landmark of Planèze. Middle Ages Early, perhaps as early as the fifth century, Florus of Lodève, credited in medieval tradition with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
University Of Konstanz Alumni
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university in ...

European Congress Of Mathematicians
The European Congress of Mathematics (ECM) is the second largest international conference of the mathematics community, after the International Congresses of Mathematicians (ICM). The ECM are held every four years and are timed precisely between the ICM. The ECM is held under the auspices of the European Mathematical Society (EMS), and was one of its earliest initiatives. It was founded by Max Karoubi and the first edition took place in Paris in 1992. Its objectives are "to present various new aspects of pure and applied mathematics to a wide audience, to be a forum for discussion of the relationship between mathematics and society in Europe, and to enhance cooperation among mathematicians from all European countries." Activities The Congresses generally last a week and consist of plenary lectures, parallel (invited) lectures and several mini-symposia devoted to a particular subject, where participants can contribute with posters and short talks. Many editions featured also s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
