https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime%20in%20San%20Diego | The city government of San Diego tracks crime in San Diego and has published crime statistics since 1950. In San Diego, the crime rate is relatively low compared to the rest of the United States. Several news sources ranked San Diego within the top twenty safest cities in the United States since 2010. In 2017, the crime rate in San Diego was the lowest it had ever been since 1959. Despite the city's low crime rate, San Diego is a major port in the international illegal drug trade, especially when it comes to methamphetamine and fentanyl, produced and trafficked largely by the Sinaloa Cartel. In the 1980s, the city was called the meth capital of the United States, and in the 2020s, the city and the larger region became a national epicenter of fentanyl trafficking. The city has also faced scandals from public officials over the decades, with several mayors being forced to resign.
Overview
In 2006, Police Chief William Lansdowne said that San Diego became the sixth-safest city among those in the country with at least 500,000 people in 2004. In 2005, the violent crime rate reached a 25-year low at 4.5 crimes per 1,000 population. Since 2010, news organizations have included San Diego among the twenty safest cities in the United States: 9th in 2010 by Forbes, 20th in 2012 by Business Insider, and 12th in 2019 by U.S. News & World Report. In 2017, the Federal Bureau of Investigation named San Diego the safest big city in the U.S. due to its homicide rate in 2016. The violent crime rate of the city in 2017 was 3.7 per 1,000 people, the lowest among the ten most populous cities in the country.

Crime by category
Criminal organizations
As of 2014, there are 4,100 gang members in 91 gangs in the city of San Diego, according to police lieutenant Keith Lucas. In 2013, the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) published a county-wide gang arrestees report on the preceding year and found that the average initiation age of gang members was 13.5 years and 61 percent of arrestees reported that they had family members who were also gang members. In the report, the law enforcement agencies in the county informed SANDAG that gangs commit about a quarter of all crimes in the county.
Drug trafficking
In the 1980s, San Diego held the dubious distinction of being the meth capital of the United States. In the 1960s, the Hells Angels motorcycle club was the chief distributor of meth in the state, and production across the southern border in Mexico was mostly unimpeded by law enforcement, allowing for the drug to be widely available in San Diego.
In 2000, the National Drug Intelligence Center published a threat assessment on drugs in the Southern District of Ca |

Planning to become a teacher herself, she studied mathematics at the Thái Nguyên College of Education from 1986 to 1990, earning a bachelor's degree, and on graduating became a lecturer in mathematics at the same institution. She continued her education at the Hanoi University of Education, earning a master's degree in 1995 and then at the Institute of Mathematics, Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology, earning her Ph.D. in 2001, under the joint supervision of Prof. Nguyen Tu Cuong and Marcel Morales of Joseph Fourier University.
She moved from the College of Education to the College of Science in 2002, and was promoted to associate professor in 2005, becoming the youngest mathematician in Vietnam with that rank. She has also been associated with the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Italy as a junior associate member from 2002 to 2007 and as a regular associate member from 2009 to 2014. In 2009 she became vice rector.
Nhàn was promoted to mathematics professor in 2015, becoming the second female mathematics professor in Vietnam (The first Vietnamese female mathematics professor in Vietnam is professor Hoàng Xuân Sính)
Awards and honors
In 2011, she was one of two winners of the Kovalevskaya Prize, an annual award to promote women in the sciences in Vietnam. The award is named after Russian mathematician Sofia Kovalevskaya and was established in 1985 by mathematician Neal Koblitz and his wife Ann Hibner Koblitz, based on the profits from Ann Koblitz' biography of Kovalevskaya.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideon%20Rosen | Gideon Rosen (born 1962) is an American philosopher. He is a Stuart Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, where he specializes in metaphysics, philosophy of mathematics, and ethics.
Education and career
Rosen graduated from Columbia University in 1984 and obtained his Ph.D. at Princeton in 1992, under the supervision of Paul Benacerraf. He taught at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor for several years before joining the Princeton faculty in 1993. He has served as chair of Princeton's Council of the Humanities and director of the Behrman Undergraduate Society of Fellows.
Philosophical work
In 1990 Rosen introduced modal fictionalism, a popular position on the ontological status of possible worlds. He is the co-author of A Subject with No Object (Oxford University Press, 1997), a contribution to the philosophy of mathematics written with Princeton colleague John P. Burgess. His recent work in metaphysics is about the concept of ground.
In moral philosophy, Rosen argues for a new variety of skepticism about moral responsibility, separate from the traditional dilemma posed by the compatibilism (incompatibilism) problem. According to Rosen, there is an epistemic problem for positive judgments of responsibility: such judgments are never justified because they are necessarily under-evidenced in a certain way, due to the nature of normativity and normative ignorance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation%20of%20axes | In mathematics, a translation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x'y'-Cartesian coordinate system in which the x' axis is parallel to the x axis and k units away, and the y' axis is parallel to the y axis and h units away. This means that the origin O' of the new coordinate system has coordinates (h, k) in the original system. The positive x' and y' directions are taken to be the same as the positive x and y directions. A point P has coordinates (x, y) with respect to the original system and coordinates (x', y') with respect to the new system, where
or equivalently
In the new coordinate system, the point P will appear to have been translated in the opposite direction. For example, if the xy-system is translated a distance h to the right and a distance k upward, then P will appear to have been translated a distance h to the left and a distance k downward in the x'y'-system . A translation of axes in more than two dimensions is defined similarly. A translation of axes is a rigid transformation, but not a linear map. (See Affine transformation.)
Motivation
Coordinate systems are essential for studying the equations of curves using the methods of analytic geometry. To use the method of coordinate geometry, the axes are placed at a convenient position with respect to the curve under consideration. For example, to study the equations of ellipses and hyperbolas, the foci are usually located on one of the axes and are situated symmetrically with respect to the origin. If the curve (hyperbola, parabola, ellipse, etc.) is not situated conveniently with respect to the axes, the coordinate system should be changed to place the curve at a convenient and familiar location and orientation. The process of making this change is called a transformation of coordinates.
The solutions to many problems can be simplified by translating the coordinate axes to obtain new axes parallel to the original ones.
Translation of conic sections
Through a change of coordinates, the equation of a conic section can be put into a standard form, which is usually easier to work with. For the most general equation of the second degree, which takes the form
it is always possible to perform a rotation of axes in such a way that in the new system the equation takes the form
that is, eliminating the xy term. Next, a translation of axes can reduce an equation of the form () to an equation of the same form but with new variables (x', y') as coordinates, and with D and E both equal to zero (with certain exceptions—for example, parabolas). The principal tool in this process is "completing the square." In the examples that follow, it is assumed that a rotation of axes has already been performed.
Example 1
Given the equation
by using a translation of axes, determine whether the locus of the equation is a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola. Determine foci (or focus), vertices (or vertex), and eccentricity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toda%E2%80%93Smith%20complex | In mathematics, Toda–Smith complexes are spectra characterized by having a particularly simple BP-homology, and are useful objects in stable homotopy theory.
Toda–Smith complexes provide examples of periodic self maps. These self maps were originally exploited in order to construct infinite families of elements in the homotopy groups of spheres. Their existence pointed the way towards the nilpotence and periodicity theorems.
Mathematical context
The story begins with the degree map on (as a circle in the complex plane):
The degree map is well defined for in general, where .
If we apply the infinite suspension functor to this map, and we take the cofiber of the resulting map:
We find that has the remarkable property of coming from a Moore space (i.e., a designer (co)homology space: , and is trivial for all ).
It is also of note that the periodic maps, , , and , come from degree maps between the Toda–Smith complexes, , , and respectively.
Formal definition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi%20Yuguang | Shi Yuguang (; born 1969, Yinxian, Zhejiang) is a Chinese mathematician at Peking University. His areas of research are geometric analysis and differential geometry.
He was awarded the ICTP Ramanujan Prize in 2010, for "outstanding contributions to the geometry of complete (noncompact) Riemannian manifolds, specifically the positivity of quasi-local mass and rigidity of asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds."
He earned his Ph.D. from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1996 under the supervision of Ding Weiyue.
Technical contributions
Shi is well-known for his foundational work with Luen-Fai Tam on compact and smooth Riemannian manifolds-with-boundary whose scalar curvature is nonnegative and whose boundary is mean-convex. In particular, if the manifold has a spin structure, and if each connected component of the boundary can be isometrically embedded as a strictly convex hypersurface in Euclidean space, then the average value of the mean curvature of each boundary component is less than or equal to the average value of the mean curvature of the corresponding hypersurface in Euclidean space.
This is particularly simple in three dimensions, where every manifold has a spin structure and a result of Louis Nirenberg shows that any positively-curved Riemannian metric on the two-dimensional sphere can be isometrically embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space in a geometrically unique way. Hence Shi and Tam's result gives a striking sense in which, given a compact and smooth three-dimensional Riemannian manifold-with-boundary of nonnegative scalar curvature, whose boundary components have positive intrinsic curvature and positive mean curvature, the extrinsic geometry of the boundary components are controlled by their intrinsic geometry. More precisely, the extrinsic geometry is controlled by the extrinsic geometry of the isometric embedding uniquely determined by the intrinsic geometry.
Shi and Tam's proof adopts a method, due to Robert Bartnik, of using parabolic partial differential equations to construct noncompact Riemannian manifolds-with-boundary of nonnegative scalar curvature and prescribed boundary behavior. By combining Bartnik's construction with the given compact manifold-with-boundary, one obtains a complete Riemannian manifold which is non-differentiable along a closed and smooth hypersurface. By using Bartnik's method to relate the geometry near infinity to the geometry of the hypersurface, and by proving a positive energy theorem in which certain singularities are allowed, Shi and Tam's result follows.
From the perspective of research literature in general relativity, Shi and Tam's result is notable in proving, in certain contexts, the nonnegativity of the Brown-York quasilocal energy of J. David Brown and James W. York. The ideas of Shi−Tam and Brown−York have been further developed by Mu-Tao Wang and Shing-Tung Yau, among others.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAGIC%20criteria | The MAGIC criteria are a set of guidelines put forth by Robert Abelson in his book Statistics as Principled Argument. In this book he posits that the goal of statistical analysis should be to make compelling claims about the world and he presents the MAGIC criteria as a way to do that.
What are the MAGIC criteria?
MAGIC is a backronym for:
Magnitude – How big is the effect? Large effects are more compelling than small ones.
Articulation – How specific is it? Precise statements are more compelling than imprecise ones.
Generality – How generally does it apply? More general effects are more compelling than less general ones. Claims that would interest a more general audience are more compelling.
Interestingness – interesting effects are those that "have the potential, through empirical analysis, to change what people believe about an important issue". More interesting effects are more compelling than less interesting ones. In addition, more surprising effects are more compelling than ones that merely confirm what is already known.
Credibility – Credible claims are more compelling than incredible ones. The researcher must show that the claims made are credible. Results that contradict previously established ones are less credible.
Reviews and applications of the MAGIC criteria
Song Qian noted that the MAGIC criteria could be of use to ecologists. Claudia Stanny discussed them in a course on psychology. Anne Boomsma noted that they are useful when presenting results of complex statistical methods such as structural equation modelling.

The club has amassed various records since their founding. Regionally, domestically and continentally, the club has set several records in winning various official and unofficial competitions. Established in Athens in 1924 by Greek refugees from Constantinople in the wake of the Greco-Turkish War, A.E.K. are one of the most successful clubs in Greek football, winning 34 national titles (including 13 Championships, 16 Cups, 1 League Cup and 3 Super Cups). The team has appeared several times in European (UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League) competitions. AEK are a member of the European Club Association.
The club was relegated from the Greek Super League after the 2012–13 season for the first time in its history. In an effort to discharge the immense debt created by years of mismanagement, its directors chose for the team to compete in the third tier Football League 2 for the 2013–14 season, thus turning the club into an amateur club. After 2 seasons on the lower tiers the club completed its comeback to the first division.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas%20Robertson%20%28Australian%20politician%29 | Thomas Robertson (1830 – 1 October 1891) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born at Windsor in Berkshire to Thomas Robertson, who taught mathematics at Eton College, and Isabella Stevenson. He migrated to New South Wales, becoming a squatter in the Clarence River area. He subsequently qualified as a solicitor and in 1863 settled at Deniliquin, where he was a long time alderman of the Municipality of Deniliquin and twice elected Mayor of Deniliquin. On 26 February 1857 he married Jane Susannah Cunningham, with whom he had twelve children. In 1873 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Hume, but he was defeated in 1874. Robertson died at Hay in 1891 (aged 61).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not%20Knot | Not Knot is a 16-minute film on the mathematics of knot theory and low-dimensional topology, centered on and titled after the concept of a knot complement. It was produced in 1991 by mathematicians at the Geometry Center at the University of Minnesota, directed by Charlie Gunn and Delle Maxwell, and distributed on videotape with a 48-page paperback booklet of supplementary material by A K Peters.
Topics
The video is structured into three parts.
It begins by introducing knots, links, and their classification, using the trefoil knot, figure-eight knot, and Borromean rings as examples. It then describes the construction of two-dimensional surfaces such as cones and cylinders by gluing together the edges of flat sheets of paper, the internal geometry of the resulting manifolds or orbifolds, and the behavior of light rays within them. Finally, it uses a three-dimensional version of the same construction method to focus in more depth on the link complement of the Borromean rings and on the hyperbolic geometry of this complementary space, which has a high degree of symmetry and is closely related to classical uniform polyhedra. The view of this space, constructed as the limit of a process of pushing the rings out "to infinity", is immersive, rendered and lit accurately, "like flying through hyperbolic space".
The supplementary material includes a complete script of the video, with black-and-white reproductions of many of its frames, accompanied by explanations at two levels, one set aimed at high school students and another at more advanced mathematics students at the late undergraduate or early graduate level.
Audience and reception
Reviewer James M. Kister writes that making these topics understandable to non-mathematicians in this format, as this video attempts, is "virtually impossible", and in this case "only partially successful". Kister writes of pre-high-school students entranced by the visual images in the video but with no understanding of their meaning, and of academics in non-mathematical disciplines who were equally bewildered. He suggests that the true audience for this video is the mathematics students for whom the more detailed supplementary material was intended.
On the other hand, while agreeing that the material is fully understandable only with significant mathematical background, L. P. Neuwirth writes that "value may surely be found for elementary school students". Knot theorist Mark Kidwell suggests that, even if the details are not understood, the video could be helpful in dispelling the popular misconception that knot theory is not mathematics. And in a review published over ten years after the initial release of this video, Charles Ashbacher writes that the visual effects in this video "are still capable of stunning you", that the mathematics they depict can be clearly followed, and that it should be viewed by "all mathematics students".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachette%20Jackson | Trachette Levon Jackson (born July 24, 1972) is an American mathematician who is a professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan and is known for work in mathematical oncology. She uses many different approaches, including continuous and discrete mathematical models, numerical simulations, and experiments to study tumor growth and treatment. Specifically, her lab is interested in "molecular pathways associated with intratumoral angiogenesis," "cell-tissue interactions associated with tumor-induced angiogenesis," and "tumor heterogeneity and cancer stem cells."
Education and career
Jackson's parents were in the military and traveled frequently through her childhood; as a teenager, she lived in Mesa, Arizona. There, in a summer calculus course, her talent for mathematics brought her to the attention of Arizona State University mathematics professor Joaquín Bustoz, Jr. She went on to undergraduate studies at ASU, originally intending to study engineering, but she was steered to mathematics by Bustoz. From there, her interest in pure math developed into an interest in mathematical biology when she attended a talk by her future PhD advisor, James D. Murray, on the mathematics of pattern formation and "how the leopard got its spots." She graduated in 1994, and she earned her MS and PhD at the University of Washington in 1996 and 1998.
After postdoctoral research at the University of Minnesota, Environmental Protection Agency, and Duke University, she joined the University of Michigan faculty in 2000, and she was promoted to full professor in 2008.
Awards and recognition
She was awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship in 2003, becoming the second African-American woman after Kathleen Adebola Okikiolu to become a Sloan Fellow in mathematics. She won a James S. McDonnell 21st Century Scientist Grant in 2005, and won the Blackwell-Tapia Prize in 2010. In 2017, she was selected as a fellow of the Association for Women in Mathematics in the inaugural class. Jackson's work also earned her recognition by Mathematically Gifted & Black as a Black History Month 2017 Honoree. She was named a SIAM Fellow in the 2021 class of fellows, "for innovative contributions to mathematical modeling in cancer biology and for the advancement of underrepresented minorities in science". In 2021, she was awarded the University Diversity and Social Transformation Professorship at the University of Michigan, in recognition of her "extraordinary commitment to increasing opportunities for girls, women, and underrepresented minority students in STEM, through her teaching and leadership."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva%20Kallin | Eva Marianne Kallin Pohlmann is a professor emerita of mathematics at Brown University. Her research concerns function algebras, polynomial convexity, and Tarski's axioms for Euclidean geometry.
Kallin attended the University of California, Berkeley as an undergraduate, and graduated with an A.B. in mathematics in 1953 and an M.S. in 1956. In 1956–1957, working as a student of Alfred Tarski, Kallin helped simplify Tarski's axioms for the first-order theory of Euclidean geometry, by showing that several of the axioms originally presented by Tarski did not need to be stated as axioms, but could instead be proved as theorems from the other axioms.
Kallin earned her Ph.D. in 1963 from Berkeley under the supervision of John L. Kelley. Her thesis, only 14 pages long, concerned function algebras, and a summary of its results was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One of its results, that not every topological algebra is localizable, has become a "well-known counterexample".
In the study of complex vector spaces, a set S is said to be polynomially convex if, for every point x outside of S, there exists a polynomial whose complex absolute value at x is greater than at any point of S. This condition generalizes the ordinary notion of a convex set, which can be separated from any point outside the set by a linear function. However, polynomially convex sets do not behave as nicely as convex sets. Kallin studied conditions under which unions of convex balls are polynomially convex, and found an example of three disjoint cubical cylinders whose union is not polynomially convex. As part of her work on polynomial convexity, she proved a result now known as Kallin's lemma, giving conditions under which the union of two polynomially convex sets remains itself polynomially convex.

She holds the Henry and Manya Noskwith Chair of Mathematics at the Einstein Institute of Mathematics at the Hebrew University.
Career
Ziegler received her Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Hebrew University under the supervision of Hillel Furstenberg. Her thesis title was “Non conventional ergodic averages”. She spent five years in the US as a postdoc at the Ohio State University, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, and the University of Michigan. She was a faculty member at the Technion during the years 2007–2013, and joined the Hebrew University in the Fall of 2013 as a full professor.
Ziegler serves as an editor of several journals. Among others she is an editor of the Journal of the European Mathematical Society (JEMS), an associate editor of the Annals of Mathematics, and the Editor in Chief of the Israel Journal of Mathematics.
Research
Ziegler’s research lies in the interface of ergodic theory with several mathematical fields including combinatorics, number theory, algebraic geometry and theoretical computer science. One of her major contributions, in joint work with Ben Green and Terence Tao (and combined with earlier work of theirs), is the resolution of the generalized Hardy–Littlewood conjecture for affine linear systems of finite complexity.
Other important contributions include the generalization of the Green-Tao theorem to polynomial patterns, and the proof of the inverse conjecture for the Gowers norms in finite field geometry.
Recognition
Ziegler won the Erdős Prize of the Israel Mathematical Union in 2011, and the Bruno memorial award in 2015. She was the European Mathematical Society lecturer of the year in 2013, and an invited speaker at the 2014 International Congress of Mathematicians. She was named MSRI Simons Professor for 2016-2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universality%20probability | Universality probability is an abstruse probability measure in computational complexity theory that concerns universal Turing machines.
Background
A Turing machine is a basic model of computation. Some Turing machines might be specific to doing particular calculations. For example, a Turing machine might take input which comprises two numbers and then produce output which is the product of their multiplication. Another Turing machine might take input which is a list of numbers and then give output which is those numbers sorted in order.
A Turing machine which has the ability to simulate any other Turing machine is called universal - in other words, a Turing machine (TM) is said to be a universal Turing machine (or UTM) if, given any other TM, there is a some input (or "header") such that the first TM given that input "header" will forever after behave like the second TM.
An interesting mathematical and philosophical question then arises. If a universal Turing machine is given random input (for suitable definition of random), how probable is it that it remains universal forever?
Definition
Given a prefix-free Turing machine, the universality probability of it is the probability that it remains universal even when every input of it (as a binary string) is prefixed by a random binary string. More formally, it is the probability measure of reals (infinite binary sequences) which have the property that every initial segment of them preserves the universality of the given Turing machine. This notion was introduced by the computer scientist Chris Wallace and was first explicitly discussed in print in an article by Dowe (and a subsequent article). However, relevant discussions also appear in an earlier article by Wallace and Dowe.
Universality probabilities of prefix-free UTMs are non-zero
Although the universality probability of a UTM (UTM) was originally suspected to be zero, relatively simple proofs exist that the supremum of the set of universality probabilities is equal to 1, such as a proof based on random walks and a proof in Barmpalias and Dowe (2012).
Once one has one prefix-free UTM with a non-zero universality probability, it immediately follows that all prefix-free UTMs have non-zero universality probability.
Further, because the supremum of the set of universality probabilities is 1 and because the set
is dense in the interval [0, 1],
suitable constructions of UTMs
(e.g., if U is a UTM, define a
UTM U2 by U2(0s) halts for all strings s,
U2(1s) = U(s) for all s) gives that the set of universality probabilities is
dense in the open interval (0, 1).
Characterization and randomness of universality probability
Universality probability was thoroughly studied and characterized by Barmpalias and Dowe in 2012.
Seen as real numbers, these probabilities were completely characterized in terms of notions in computability theory
and algorithmic information theory.
It was shown that when the underlying machine is universal, these numbers ar |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo%20Bulls%20football%20records | This article concerns the Buffalo Bulls football records. These records include game statistics from when the Bulls first joined the Mid-American Conference in 1999. Games that went overtime are included, along with records of games between the Buffalo Bulls and teams belonging to the Bowl Championship Series.
Year-by-year results
All-time MAC records
Statistics correct as of the end of the 2017–18 college football season
This table includes all MAC games from 1999, the year the Bulls joined the Mid-American Conference.
Overtime
Statistics correct as of the end of the 2017–18 college football season
Following the 1995 season, the NCAA changed the rules to allow for overtime on games tied at the end of four quarters. Until that time, the Bulls had tied 28 times. Since then, Buffalo has participated in twelve overtimes game and have won eight of those games.
Buffalo vs. the BCS
Statistics correct as of the end of the 2013–14 college football season
Since joining the MAC in 1999, the Bulls have played 34 regular season games and 1 postseason game against teams that are a member of one of the six conferences of the Bowl Championship Series, and have gone 2–33 all time against them (2–32 in the regular season, and 0–1 in the postseason). The Bulls have gone 0–2 against the ACC, 0–5 against the Big Ten, 0–4 against the Big 12, 2–21 against the Big East (0–1 in postseason play), and 0–3 against the SEC. The Bulls have yet to play against a team from the Pac-12 Conference. This table includes only games with teams that were members of one of the six BCS conferences at the time the game indicated was played. The conferences indicated are also reflective of the conference the team was a member of at the time the game was played.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaqu%C3%ADn%20Bustoz%20Jr. | Joaquín Bustoz Jr. (1939–2003) was an American mathematician who worked as a professor of mathematics at Arizona State University. His mathematical research concerned functional analysis, including orthogonal polynomials and special functions, but he was primarily known as a mentor to underrepresented minorities in mathematics.
Bustoz was born in Tempe, Arizona; his parents worked on the local farms and also for the Tempe Elementary School District, which eventually named the Joaquin and Ramona Bustoz Elementary School after them. He graduated from Arizona State University in 1962 with a degree in mathematics, and after two years in California working for Univac returned to ASU, where he completed a doctorate in 1967 under the supervision of Walter Tandy Scott. After teaching at the University of Cincinnati from 1969 to 1976, during which he also spent a year at the National University of Colombia as a Fulbright Scholar, he returned to ASU again as an associate professor in 1976, and was promoted to full professor in 1978. He chaired the ASU mathematics department from 1982 to 1985.
In 1985, Bustoz founded the Summer Math–Science Honors program for high school students, which continues at ASU as the Joaquin Bustoz Math–Science Honors Program. Bustoz also worked on mathematics education on the Navajo Nation and the Pima reservations. For his efforts, president Bill Clinton honored him in 1996 with the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring.
He was killed by a car accident on August 13, 2003. As well as the Math–Science Honors program, the Joaquin Bustoz Jr. Professorship at ASU, held by Carlos Castillo-Chavez, is named after Bustoz.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colectica | Colectica is a suite of programs for use in documenting official statistics and specifying statistical surveys using open standards that enable researchers, archivists, and programmers to perform:
questionnaire design
automatic programming for computer-assisted telephone interviewing systems
data entry, retrieval, and management
statistical analysis
microdata documentation and management
applications development
data warehousing
metadata standards creation such as Data Documentation Initiative
Colectica is currently in use by a variety of university survey research groups, longitudinal studies, National Statistics Offices, data archives, and commercial survey research organizations.
History
Colectica was originally funded in part by the NIH National Institute on Aging to explore automatic documentation of computer assisted surveys. This grant saw the creation of metadata extraction and flowchart creation tools for CASES, Blaise, and CSPro survey instrument source code. The grant also partially funded the creation of a questionnaire specification content area in the Data Documentation Initiative's DDI Lifecycle metadata standard. The functionality of these tools, originally named SurveyViz, is now bundled with the Colectica Designer and based on the DDI standard.
The NIH funds many long-running longitudinal studies that have collected vast amounts of data, which due to their design require detailed documentation and organization. In 2011, the NIH National Institute on Aging provided further funding to add longitudinal data management functionality to Colectica to enable documenting the complex study designs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selberg%27s%20identity | In number theory, Selberg's identity is an approximate identity involving logarithms of primes named after Atle Selberg. The identity, discovered jointly by Selberg and Paul Erdős, was used in the first elementary proof for the prime number theorem.
Statement
There are several different but equivalent forms of Selberg's identity. One form is
where the sums are over primes p and q.
Explanation
The strange-looking expression on the left side of Selberg's identity is (up to smaller terms) the sum
where the numbers
are the coefficients of the Dirichlet series
This function has a pole of order 2 at s = 1 with coefficient 2, which gives the dominant term 2x log(x) in the asymptotic expansion of
Another variation of the identity
Selberg's identity sometimes also refers to the following divisor sum identity involving the von Mangoldt function and the Möbius function when :
This variant of Selberg's identity is proved using the concept of taking derivatives of arithmetic functions defined by in Section 2.18 of Apostol's book (see also this link).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical%20compactification | In algebraic geometry, a tropical compactification is a compactification (projective completion) of a subvariety of an algebraic torus, introduced by Jenia Tevelev. Given an algebraic torus and a connected closed subvariety of that torus, a compactification of the subvariety is defined as a closure of it in a toric variety of the original torus. The concept of a tropical compactification arises when trying to make compactifications as "nice" as possible. For a torus , a toric variety , the compactification is tropical when the map
is faithfully flat and is proper.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planar%20hexacoordinate%20carbon | Planar hexacoordinate carbon in chemistry describes a molecular geometry featuring a planar arrangement of carbon with six surrounding atoms. No actual chemical compounds having this particular hexacoordinate configuration have been reported but quantum mechanical methods have demonstrated that these molecules are a possibility. Examples of molecules investigated with computational methods are the B6C dianion, the CN3Be3+ ion, the CO3Li3+ ion and the CN3Mg3+ ion. A simulated Be2C monolayer is reported to consist of quasi-planar hexacoordinate carbon atoms.
On the other hand, experimental research has confirmed that the pentagonal-pyramidal hexamethylbenzene ion, C6(CH3)62+, contains a hexacoordinate carbon atom. Furthermore, a heptacoordinate carbon atom has been predicted to be involved in a stable hexagonal-pyramidal configuration of tropylium trication, (C7H7)3+.

Biography
Schytt was born at Solna in Stockholm, Sweden.
He studied physics and mathematics at Stockholm University and was awarded Master of Philosophy in 1946, Licentiate in 1947 and Ph. D in 1958.
He became a lector in geography at Stockholm University in 1943, glaciologist with the Swedish Antarctic Committee in 1948, research associate at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois in 1953 and assistant teacher in geography at Stockholm University in 1955. He became associated with the Swedish Research Council (Naturvetenskapliga forskningsrådet) in 1963, an assistant professor in 1969 and was a professor from 1970. In 1974 he was elected into the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
He participated in the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition polar expedition to the Antarctic 1949–52.
He also participated in important expeditions to Canada in 1954, to Greenland in 1954, to Spitsbergen in 1956, 1957, 1958 and Deception Island in 1977. Schytt is mainly associated with the Ymer-80 expedition carried out by the icebreaker Ymer during the summer of 1980.
Schytt initiated the glacier mass balance studies at Storglaciären in the Tarfala Valley. Started in 1945/46, it is the longest continuous study of this type in the world. He was promoting the Tarfala research station since its start. He died at the research station during a winter visit in March 1985.
Awards and Recognitions
For his outstanding work on the Ymer-80 Expedition, Valter Schytt was awarded the Vega Medal, the highest award of the Swedish Society for Anthropology and Geography, in 1981. Also in 1981, Valter was awarded the Patron's Medal from the Royal Geographical Society.
Schytt Glacier in Antarctica was named in honour of Stig Valter Schytt.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biclique-free%20graph | In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a -biclique-free graph is a graph that has no -vertex complete bipartite graph as a subgraph. A family of graphs is biclique-free if there exists a number such that the graphs in the family are all -biclique-free. The biclique-free graph families form one of the most general types of sparse graph family. They arise in incidence problems in discrete geometry, and have also been used in parameterized complexity.
Properties
Sparsity
According to the Kővári–Sós–Turán theorem, every -vertex -biclique-free graph has edges, significantly fewer than a dense graph would have. Conversely, if a graph family is defined by forbidden subgraphs or closed under the operation of taking subgraphs, and does not include dense graphs of arbitrarily large size, it must be -biclique-free for some , for otherwise it would include large dense complete bipartite graphs.
As a lower bound, conjectured that every maximal -biclique-free bipartite graph (one to which no more edges can be added without creating a -biclique) has at least edges, where and are the numbers of vertices on each side of its bipartition.
Relation to other types of sparse graph family
A graph with degeneracy is necessarily -biclique-free. Additionally, any nowhere dense family of graphs is biclique-free. More generally, if there exists an -vertex graph that is not a 1-shallow minor of any graph in the family, then the family must be -biclique-free, because all -vertex graphs are 1-shallow minors of .
In this way, the biclique-free graph families unify two of the most general classes of sparse graphs.
Applications
Discrete geometry
In discrete geometry, many types of incidence graph are necessarily biclique-free. As a simple example, the graph of incidences between a finite set of points and lines in the Euclidean plane necessarily has no subgraph.
Parameterized complexity
Biclique-free graphs have been used in parameterized complexity to develop algorithms that are efficient for sparse graphs with suitably small input parameter values. In particular, finding a dominating set of size , on -biclique-free graphs, is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by , even though there is strong evidence that this is not possible using alone as a parameter. Similar results are true for many variations of the dominating set problem. It is also possible to test whether one dominating set of size at most can be converted to another one by a chain of vertex insertions and deletions, preserving the dominating property, with the same parameterization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svetlozar%20Rachev | Svetlozar (Zari) Todorov Rachev is a professor at Texas Tech University who works in the field of mathematical finance, probability theory, and statistics. He is known for his work in probability metrics, derivative pricing, financial risk modeling, and econometrics. In the practice of risk management, he is the originator of the methodology behind the flagship product of FinAnalytica.
Life and work
Rachev earned a MSc degree from the Faculty of Mathematics at Sofia University in 1974, a PhD degree from Lomonosov Moscow State University under the supervision of Vladimir Zolotarev in 1979, and a Dr Sci degree from Steklov Mathematical Institute in 1986 under the supervision of Leonid Kantorovich, a Nobel Prize winner in economic sciences, Andrey Kolmogorov and Yuri Prokhorov. Currently, he is Professor of Financial Mathematics at Texas Tech University.
In mathematical finance, Rachev is known for his work on application of non-Gaussian models for risk assessment, option pricing, and the applications of such models in portfolio theory. He is also known for the introduction of a new risk-return ratio, the "Rachev Ratio", designed to measure the reward potential relative to tail risk in a non-Gaussian setting.
In probability theory, his books on probability metrics and mass-transportation problems are widely cited.
FinAnalytica
Rachev's academic work on non-Gaussian models in mathematical finance was inspired by the difficulties of common classical Gaussian-based models to capture empirical properties of financial data. Rachev and his daughter, Borjana Racheva-Iotova, established Bravo Group in 1999, a company with the goal to develop software based on Rachev's research on fat-tailed models. The company was later acquired by FinAnalytica. The company has won the Waters Rankings "Best Market Risk Solution Provider" award in 2010, 2012, and 2015, and also the "Most Innovative Specialist Vendor" Risk Award in 2014.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy%20Lie%20algebra | In mathematics, in particular abstract algebra and topology, a homotopy Lie algebra (or -algebra) is a generalisation of the concept of a differential graded Lie algebra. To be a little more specific, the Jacobi identity only holds up to homotopy. Therefore, a differential graded Lie algebra can be seen as a homotopy Lie algebra where the Jacobi identity holds on the nose. These homotopy algebras are useful in classifying deformation problems over characteristic 0 in deformation theory because deformation functors are classified by quasi-isomorphism classes of -algebras. This was later extended to all characteristics by Jonathan Pridham.
Homotopy Lie algebras have applications within mathematics and mathematical physics; they are linked, for instance, to the Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism much like differential graded Lie algebras are.
Definition
There exists several different definitions of a homotopy Lie algebra, some particularly suited to certain situations more than others. The most traditional definition is via symmetric multi-linear maps, but there also exists a more succinct geometric definition using the language of formal geometry. Here the blanket assumption that the underlying field is of characteristic zero is made.
Geometric definition
A homotopy Lie algebra on a graded vector space is a continuous derivation, , of order that squares to zero on the formal manifold . Here is the completed symmetric algebra, is the suspension of a graded vector space, and denotes the linear dual. Typically one describes as the homotopy Lie algebra and with the differential as its representing commutative differential graded algebra.
Using this definition of a homotopy Lie algebra, one defines a morphism of homotopy Lie algebras, , as a morphism of their representing commutative differential graded algebras that commutes with the vector field, i.e., . Homotopy Lie algebras and their morphisms define a category.
Definition via multi-linear maps
The more traditional definition of a homotopy Lie algebra is through an infinite collection of symmetric multi-linear maps that is sometimes referred to as the definition via higher brackets. It should be stated that the two definitions are equivalent.
A homotopy Lie algebra on a graded vector space is a collection of symmetric multi-linear maps of degree , sometimes called the -ary bracket, for each . Moreover, the maps satisfy the generalised Jacobi identity:
for each n. Here the inner sum runs over -unshuffles and is the signature of the permutation. The above formula have meaningful interpretations for low values of ; for instance, when it is saying that squares to zero (i.e., it is a differential on ), when it is saying that is a derivation of , and when it is saying that satisfies the Jacobi identity up to an exact term of (i.e., it holds up to homotopy). Notice that when the higher brackets for vanish, the definition of a differential graded Lie algebra on is recovered.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yujiro%20Kawamata | Yujiro Kawamata (born 1952) is a Japanese mathematician working
in algebraic geometry.
Career
Kawamata completed the master's course at the University of Tokyo in 1977. He was an Assistant at the University of Mannheim from 1977 to 1979 and a Miller Fellow at the University of California, Berkeley from 1981 to 1983. Kawamata is now a professor at the University of Tokyo. He won the Mathematical Society of Japan Autumn award (1988) and the Japan Academy of Sciences award (1990) for his work in algebraic geometry.
Research
Kawamata was involved in the development of the minimal model program in the 1980s. The program aims to show that every algebraic variety is birational to one of an especially simple type: either a minimal model or a Fano fiber space. The Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem, strengthening the Kodaira vanishing theorem, is a method. Building on that, Kawamata proved the basepoint-free theorem. The cone theorem and contraction theorem, central results in the theory, are the result of a joint effort by Kawamata, Kollár, Mori, Reid, and Shokurov.
After Mori proved the existence of minimal models in dimension 3 in 1988, Kawamata and Miyaoka clarified the structure of minimal models by proving the abundance conjecture in dimension 3. Kawamata used analytic methods in Hodge theory to prove the Iitaka conjecture over a base of dimension 1.
More recently, a series of papers by Kawamata related the derived category of coherent sheaves on an algebraic variety to geometric properties in the spirit of minimal model theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Asino | L'Asino (The Donkey) was an Italian magazine of political satire founded in Rome in 1892, by Guido Podrecca (1865–1923) and Gabriele Galantara (1867–1937), a former mathematics student, designer and cartoonist, both with a socialist background. The two took the pseudonyms "Goliardo" (Podrecca) and "Ratalanga" (Galantara), and with these nicknames signed the outputs of the weekly. The magazine's title was from a saying of Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi that said that "the donkey is like the people: useful, patient and stubborn" (in Italian: "come il popolo è l'asino: utile, paziente e bastonato), which became the subtitle and the motto of the editors.
Early years
In 1892, Podrecca and Galantara accepted a proposal of the Socialist publisher Luigi Mongini and founded a political satire weekly, L'Asino. The first issue appeared on 27 November 1892. Directed by Podrecca, the periodical gave voice to the demands of the socialist movement and also published informative and ideological articles. It was an immediate success and already by the beginning of 1893, when it began to be printed in colour, it was circulating around 22,000 copies, which rose to 60,000 in 1904 and 100,000 in 1907.
LʹAsino was inspired by the great tradition of European political satire from France (La Caricature, Le Charivari, Le Rire and in particular L'Assiette au Beurre to which Galatanra contributed his cartoons) and especially from Germany, with the socialist fortnightly Der Wahre Jacob, to which Podrecca and Galantara drew direct inspiration: double colour covers, texts enriched with drawings and engravings, satire articles alternating with rigorous social criticism.
The magazine immediately focused its attention on the collapse of the Banca Romana in 1893 and Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti. The success of the magazine led its two founders to embark on a daily publication in January 1895, but the experiment was unsuccessful and from August of the same year it reverted to a weekly publication. In 1897, Podrecca and Galantara were arrested for subversive propaganda and L'Asino had to suspend publication for a short period.
Anticlericalism
After 1901, the magazine began to criticize the Catholic Church and became the leading anticlerical journal, as a reaction to the anti-liberal campaign by the Vatican against a divorce bill introduced in 1902 and the attempts to set up Catholic trade unions in opposition to the socialist ones. L'Asino launched a virulent offensive against the clergy in terms of customs, morals and religious sentiment, "portraying the image of the lustful, jealous, greedy, corrupt and corrupting priest [...]. With an incessant hammering of cartoons, caricatures, satires, denunciations, easy and often superficial popular articles, Galantara and Podrecca succeeded in widely spreading this image in vast sectors of the popular masses".
As a result, the magazine was banned from Vatican City. The magazine circulated widely among Italian immigrants in the Uni |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filters%20in%20topology | Filters in topology, a subfield of mathematics, can be used to study topological spaces and define all basic topological notions such as convergence, continuity, compactness, and more. Filters, which are special families of subsets of some given set, also provide a common framework for defining various types of limits of functions such as limits from the left/right, to infinity, to a point or a set, and many others. Special types of filters called have many useful technical properties and they may often be used in place of arbitrary filters.
Filters have generalizations called (also known as ) and , all of which appear naturally and repeatedly throughout topology. Examples include neighborhood filters/bases/subbases and uniformities. Every filter is a prefilter and both are filter subbases. Every prefilter and filter subbase is contained in a unique smallest filter, which they are said to . This establishes a relationship between filters and prefilters that may often be exploited to allow one to use whichever of these two notions is more technically convenient. There is a certain preorder on families of sets, denoted by that helps to determine exactly when and how one notion (filter, prefilter, etc.) can or cannot be used in place of another. This preorder's importance is amplified by the fact that it also defines the notion of filter convergence, where by definition, a filter (or prefilter) to a point if and only if where is that point's neighborhood filter. Consequently, subordination also plays an important role in many concepts that are related to convergence, such as cluster points and limits of functions. In addition, the relation which denotes and is expressed by saying that also establishes a relationship in which is to as a subsequence is to a sequence (that is, the relation which is called , is for filters the analog of "is a subsequence of").
Filters were introduced by Henri Cartan in 1937 and subsequently used by Bourbaki in their book as an alternative to the similar notion of a net developed in 1922 by E. H. Moore and H. L. Smith.
Filters can also be used to characterize the notions of sequence and net convergence. But unlike sequence and net convergence, filter convergence is defined in terms of subsets of the topological space and so it provides a notion of convergence that is completely intrinsic to the topological space; indeed, the category of topological spaces can be equivalently defined entirely in terms of filters. Every net induces a canonical filter and dually, every filter induces a canonical net, where this induced net (resp. induced filter) converges to a point if and only if the same is true of the original filter (resp. net). This characterization also holds for many other definitions such as cluster points. These relationships make it possible to switch between filters and nets, and they often also allow one to choose whichever of these two notions (filter or net) is more convenient for the pro |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip%20graph | In mathematics, a flip graph is a graph whose vertices are combinatorial or geometric objects, and whose edges link two of these objects when they can be obtained from one another by an elementary operation called a flip. Flip graphs are special cases of geometric graphs.
Among noticeable flip graphs, one finds the 1-skeleton of polytopes such as associahedra or cyclohedra.
Examples
A prototypical flip graph is that of a convex -gon . The vertices of this graph are the triangulations of , and two triangulations are adjacent in it whenever they differ by a single interior edge. In this case, the flip operation consists in exchanging the diagonals of a convex quadrilateral. These diagonals are the interior edges by which two triangulations adjacent in the flip graph differ. The resulting flip graph is both the Hasse diagram of the Tamari lattice and the 1-skeleton of the -dimensional associahedron.
This basic construction can be generalized in a number of ways.
Finite sets of points in Euclidean space
Let be a triangulation of a finite set of points . Under some conditions, one may transform into another triangulation of by a flip. This operation consists in modifying the way triangulates a circuit (a minimally affinely dependent subset of ). More precisely, if some triangulation of a circuit is a subset of , and if all the cells (faces of maximal dimension) of have the same link in , then one can perform a flip within by replacing by , where
and is, by Radon's partition theorem, the unique other triangulation of . The conditions just stated, under which a flip is possible, make sure that this operation results in a triangulation of . The corresponding flip graph, whose vertices are the triangulations of and whose edges correspond to flips between them, is a natural generalization of the flip graph of a convex polygon, as the two flip graphs coincide when is the set of the vertices of a convex -gon.
Topological surfaces
Another kind of flip graphs is obtained by considering the triangulations of a topological surface: consider such a surface , place a finite number of points on it, and connect them by arcs in such a way that any two arcs never cross. When this set of arcs is maximal, it decomposes into triangles. If in addition there are no multiple arcs (distinct arcs with the same pair of vertices), nor loops, this set of arcs defines a triangulation of .
In this setting, two triangulations of that can be obtained from one another by a continuous transformation are identical.
Two triangulations are related by a flip when they differ by exactly one of the arcs they are composed of. Note that, these two triangulations necessarily have the same number of vertices. As in the Euclidean case, the flip graph of is the graph whose vertices are the triangulations of with vertices and whose edges correspond to flips between them. This definition can be straightforwardly extended to bordered topological surfaces.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy%20Greenwood | Priscilla E. (Cindy) Greenwood (born 1937) is a Canadian mathematician who is a professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of British Columbia. She is known for her research in probability theory.
Education and career
Greenwood graduated from Duke University with a B.A. in 1959. She began her graduate studies in operations research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she became exposed to probability theory through a course on stochastic processes offered in 1960 by Henry McKean. Soon afterwards, she switched to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she completed her Ph.D. in 1963 under the supervision of Joshua Chover. She taught for two years at North Carolina College before moving to the University of British Columbia in 1966. She has also been associated with Arizona State University, as a visiting professor from 2000 to 2003 and since 2004 as a research professor.
Research
Greenwood's research in the 1970s concerned Brownian motion, Lévy processes, and Wiener–Hopf factorization. During this method she developed the theory of the martintote, a process similar to a martingale used to study asymptotic properties of processes.
In the 1980s Greenwood began working with Ed Perkins on nonstandard analysis, which they used to study local time and excursions. In this timeframe she also began working on set-indexed processes, a topic that would lead her to the theory of random fields, and on semimartingales. She traveled to Russia, and wrote a monograph on chi-squared tests with Mikhail Nikulin.
In 1990 she and Igor Evstigneev wrote a second monograph, on random fields. Her research in this period also concerned metric entropy and asymptotic efficiency. She began her work in biostatistics, involving studies of different mammalian populations, and led a major study on statistical estimation near critical points of a parameter.
Beginning in 2000, at Arizona State, she studied pink noise and stochastic resonance, which she applied to epidemic models in biostatistics as well as to the firing patterns of neurons.
Awards and honours
Greenwood was elected as a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in 1985. She won the Krieger–Nelson Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 2002.
