Gather Town

[edit]

Gather is a start-up company that launched in May 2020. It was used for a 200 people event in November 2020 and they were clearly still getting established. They have some substantial funding, and are making constant improvements.

Mathematical people

[edit]

Many mathematical people deserving of WPs do not yet have one. At the time of writing—24 Sep 2021—that includes Duane Cooper, Nancy Blachman, Steve Batterson (3 books), Paul Zorn, and hundreds of others, especially those from generally underrepresented groups.

Recreational Mathematics Magazine

[edit]

The Recreational Mathematics Magazine is published by　the Ludus Association　with the support of the　Interuniversity Centre for the History of Science and Technology. The journal is electronic and semiannual, and focuses on results that provide amusing, witty but nonetheless original and scientifically profound mathematical nuggets. The issues are published in the exact moments of the equinox. It's a magazine for mathematicians, and other mathematics lovers, who enjoy imaginative ideas, non-standard approaches, and surprising procedures. Occasionally, some papers that do not require any mathematical background will be published.

Examples of topics to be adressed include:　games and puzzles, problems, mathmagic, mathematics and arts, math and fun with algorithms,　reviews and news. Recreational mathematics　focuses on　insight, imagination and beauty. Historically, we know that some areas of mathematics are strongly linked to recreational mathematics - probability, graph theory, number theory, etc. Thus, recreational mathematics can also be very serious. Many professional mathematicians confessed that　their love for math was gained when reading the articles by Martin Gardner in Scientific American.

While there are conferences related to the subject as the amazing Gathering for Gardner, and high-quality magazines that accept recreational papers as the American Mathematical Monthly, the number of initiatives related to this important subject is not large. This context led us to launch this magazine. We will seek to provide a quality publication. We shall endeavor to be read with pleasure. In mathematics, the most important are the underlying ideas and nothing is as exciting as an amazing idea. So, we seek sophistication, imagination and awe.

SheHeroes

SheHeroes is a Web Series That Empowers Girls |

SheHeroes is mentioned on four existing WP pages, namely

undigested source material for SheHeroes

[edit]

SheHeroes is an emerging non-profit organization where your contribution goes towards the funding of our inspiring web series aimed at empowering young girls to dream big.

SheHeroes showcases heroic women’s achievements through first-person video interviews. SheHeroes’ videos profile women role models across diverse professions who are celebrated as powerful leaders for their successes, character and contributions. Each video comes with an age-appropriate discussion guide written by a child psychologist. The guides are used to enhance support school and enrichment program curricula with its innovative, relevant content.

This year, SheHeroes distributed materials to thousands of girls, families, and educators through events on both coasts, festivals and conferences. We now have a robust library of SheHeroes videos telling the stories of Captain Rebecca Murga, Army Captain and Filmmaker; Susie Wee, VP and CTO of Cisco’s DevNet; Dr. Verna Gibbs, Surgeon at the SF Veteran’s Medical Center; Michelle Lee of IDEO; and Carol Reiley Roboticist/CEO, and many more. Please help us feature more inspiring SheHeroes in 2020 by making SheHeroes part of your year end giving!

Women in mathematics and science resources

Arthur Hill Curtis

[edit]
someday this man may merit a WP [note by CM on 12-24-18]

Arthur Hill Curtis (1827?-1886) was born in Dublin, and was educated at TCD (BA 1849, MA 1853, LLD 1862). He was professor of natural philosophy at Queen's Galway (1857-1879), where he authored books on both analytic geometry and gryoscopes, and then served as assistant commissioner for National Education until his death. In 1882, Queen's Belfast gave him an honorary DSc.

Edward Townsend

[edit]

Edward Townsend (1831-1919) was educated at TCD (BA 1853, MA 1856). DSc?? He followed William Bindon Blood as professor of engineering at Queen's College Galway, staying almost half a century, and serving as registrar. He played a key role in the design of the Galway to Clifton railway.

He was the father of Irish mathematical physicist John Sealy Townsend

P-graph

[edit]

Every partition of n has its p-graph, that is, the graph whose vertices are each of the parts of the partition, any two of which are joined by an edge if and only if they have a common divisor greater than one.

William Fitch Cheney

[edit]

William Fitch Cheney, Jnr (1904-1974) was a mathematician and magician.

In 1927 he received the first PhD in Mathematics awarded by MIT.

He was a keen magician all his life,

Cheney was Editor of the Puzzle Section of the American Mathematical Monthly from 1930 to 1940.

He was most famous for his Five Card Trick which is 100% math. https://web.northeastern.edu/seigen/11Magic/FitchCheneyFiveCardCount/Fitch%20Cheney's%20Five%20Card%20Trick%20-%20Colm%20Mulcahy.pdf https://web.northeastern.edu/seigen/11Magic/FitchCheneyFiveCardCount/FitchCheneyFiveCardTrick.html https://www.google.com/search?rls=aso&client=gmail&q=fitch%20cheney%20card%20trick&authuser=0

Martin Gardner mentions this trick briefly in his 1956 book Mathematics Magic and Mystery, and also in the Scientific American "Mathematical Games" column collection The Unexpected Hanging and Other Mathematical Diversions, citing W. Wallace Lee's book Math Miracles (1950). There, it is featured as "Telephone Stud" and attributed to William Fitch Cheney, Jnr, Chairman, Department of Mathematics, University of Hartford, Hartford, CT.

The Atlas of Irish Mathematics

[edit]

The WEBSITE called Atlas has kinda been superseded by the blogs, BUT the website has something for every county in Ireland whereas the blogs (MUCH more detailed) only has 7 or 8 regions covered so far. covering all of Ireland in great detail in the Atlas blogs (6 a year) will take many years

Horace Hewitt Poole

[edit]

Horace Hewitt Poole was an Irish physicist known for the Poole–Frenkel effect.

There were two Poole brothers, Horace and Jackie (John Hewitt Jellett). They were both first class moderators in experimental science, both with large gold medals. I knew them both. They were both influenced by Joly and his work on radioactivity.

Jackie stayed in Trinity becoming Professor of Geophysics in 1934 and eventually elected to Fellowship in 1958. Horace worked for some years as Assistant in the Trinity Physics Department but moved to the RDS in 1921 as Principal Scientific Officer where he set up the radium laboratory which provided the radium in appropriate form for use in cancer therapy and other medical uses. He subsequently became Registrar of the RDS. They were each awarded Boyle Medals by the RDS, Horace in 1936 and Jackie in 1947.

Horace and Jackie were nephews of George Francis FitzGerald and were grandsons of the John Hewitt Jellett who was Provost from1981to 1988, previously the University Professor of Natural Philosophy, awarded the Royal Medal of the Royal Society in 1881, and President of the Royal Irish Academy. They were part of an extraordinary tapestry of related families which included, as well as the Pooles, Fitzgeralds and Jelletts as we have seen, also the Stokes, Pursers and O'Brien. And I think that the O'Briens draw in the Gwynns and the Simms: one could go on and on with this game!

Yakov Il'ich Frenkel and the Poole–Frenkel effect are discussed here.

Michael Purser

Michael Purser, who should be on your lists, has written a rather nice book on his extended family entitled: Jellett, O'Brien, Purser and Stokes, Seven Generations, Four Families. It is published by Prejmer Verlag and its ISBN is 0-9548462-0-6

Matthew O'Brien

[edit]

Matthew O'Brien (1814-1855) was born in Ennis, Clare, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) and Cambridge (BA 1838, 3rd wrangler, MA 1841). He taught at King's College, London, and at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. He is credited with anticipating by several decades many of the results of classic vector analysis, and he applied them to the mechanics of the earth's motion. Among the books he published were several textbooks on mathematics.
