Julia Wolf
Julia Wolf is a British mathematician specialising in arithmetic combinatorics who was the 2016 winner of the Anne Bennett Prize of the London Mathematical Society. She is currently a professor in the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the University of Cambridge. Education and career Wolf writes that her childhood ambition was to become a carpenter, and that she became attracted to science only after subscribing to ''Scientific American'' as a teenager. She read mathematics at Clare College, Cambridge, earning a bachelor's degree there in 2004 and completing the Mathematical Tripos in 2003. She remained at Cambridge for graduate study, and completed her PhD there in 2008. Her dissertation, ''Arithmetic Structure in Sets of Integers'', was supervised by Timothy Gowers. She was also mentored in her doctoral studies by Ben Green, whom she met when he was a postdoctoral researcher at Cambridge from 2001 to 2005. Since earning her doctorate she has been ...

Arithmetic Combinatorics
In mathematics, arithmetic combinatorics is a field in the intersection of number theory, combinatorics, ergodic theory and harmonic analysis. Scope Arithmetic combinatorics is about combinatorial estimates associated with arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). Additive combinatorics is the special case when only the operations of addition and subtraction are involved. Ben Green explains arithmetic combinatorics in his review of "Additive Combinatorics" by Tao and Vu. Important results Szemerédi's theorem Szemerédi's theorem is a result in arithmetic combinatorics concerning arithmetic progressions in subsets of the integers. In 1936, Erdős and Turán conjectured. that every set of integers ''A'' with positive natural density contains a ''k'' term arithmetic progression for every ''k''. This conjecture, which became Szemerédi's theorem, generalizes the statement of van der Waerden's theorem. Green–Tao theorem and extensions The Gre ...

Academics Of The University Of Bristol
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulation, dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Alumni Of Clare College, Cambridge
Alumni (singular: alumnus (masculine) or alumna (feminine)) are former students of a school, college, or university who have either attended or graduated in some fashion from the institution. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women. The word is Latin and means "one who is being (or has been) nourished". The term is not synonymous with "graduate"; one can be an alumnus without graduating ( Burt Reynolds, alumnus but not graduate of Florida State, is an example). The term is sometimes used to refer to a former employee or member of an organization, contributor, or inmate. Etymology The Latin noun ''alumnus'' means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from PIE ''*h₂el-'' (grow, nourish), and it is a variant of the Latin verb ''alere'' "to nourish".Merriam-Webster: alumnus .. Separate, but from the ...

Women Mathematicians
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Througho ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hard-core Predicate
In cryptography, a hard-core predicate of a one-way function ''f'' is a predicate ''b'' (i.e., a function whose output is a single bit) which is easy to compute (as a function of ''x'') but is hard to compute given ''f(x)''. In formal terms, there is no probabilistic polynomial-time (PPT) algorithm that computes ''b(x)'' from ''f(x)'' with probability significantly greater than one half over random choice of ''x''. Goldwasser, S. and Bellare, M.br>"Lecture Notes on Cryptography". Summer course on cryptography, MIT, 1996-2001 In other words, if ''x'' is drawn uniformly at random, then given ''f(x)'', any PPT adversary can only distinguish the hard-core bit ''b(x)'' and a uniformly random bit with negligible advantage over the length of ''x''. A hard-core function can be defined similarly. That is, if ''x'' is chosen uniformly at random, then given ''f(x)'', any PPT algorithm can only distinguish the hard-core function value ''h(x)'' and uniformly random bits of length '', h(x), ' ...
