https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20Flahive | Mary Elizabeth Flahive (born 1948) is a professor of mathematics at Oregon State University. Her research interests are in number theory;
she is the author of two books on difference equations and Diophantine approximation, and is also interested in the geometry of numbers and algebraic coding theory.
Education
Flahive graduated from St. Joseph's College in New York in 1969.
She completed her Ph.D. at the Ohio State University in 1976. Her dissertation, On The Minima Of Indefinite Binary Quadratic Forms, was supervised by Alan C. Woods, and cites the mentorship of another Ohio State mathematician, Jill Yaqub. She published it under the name Mary Flahive Gbur, and some of her journal papers from this period use the name Mary E. Gbur.
Books
Flahive is the author of the book The Markoff and Lagrange Spectra, on topics related to Diophantine approximation (with Thomas W. Cusick, Mathematical Surveys and Monographs 30, American Mathematical Society, 1989). She is also the author of an undergraduate textbook on difference equations, Difference Equations: From Rabbits to Chaos (with Paul Cull and Robby Robson, Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics, Springer, 2005).
Activism
Flahive has also been active in the promotion of women in mathematics. She served a five-year term on the Joint Committee On Women In the Mathematical Sciences from 1996 to 2000. With Marie A. Vitulli, she wrote an influential study on patterns of job offers to women with new U.S. Ph.D.s in 1997, and updated the study in 2010. The major differences that both studies found were that, at academic institutions whose highest degree in mathematics is a bachelor's degree, women were initially employed at a substantially higher rate than men, and in business and industry men were initially employed at a considerably higher rate than women. Their study found small differences in hiring at doctorate-granting institutions between men and women, indicating that other points in the career are more critical in explaining the gender gap between men and women in mathematics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated%20median%20regression | In robust statistics, repeated median regression, also known as the repeated median estimator, is a robust linear regression algorithm.
The estimator has a breakdown point of 50%. Although it is equivariant under scaling, or under linear transformations of either its explanatory variable or its response variable, it is not under affine transformations that combine both variables. It can be calculated in time by brute force, in time using more sophisticated techniques, or in randomized expected time. It may also be calculated using an on-line algorithm with update time.
Method
The repeated median method estimates the slope of the regression line for a set of points as
where is defined as .
The estimated Y-axis intercept is defined as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian%20K.%20Bradley | Lillian Katie Bradley (October 15, 1921 – February 11, 1995) was an American mathematician and mathematics educator who in 1960 became the first African-American woman to earn a doctorate in any subject at the University of Texas at Austin. She accomplished this ten years after African-Americans were first admitted to the school, and despite the dominance of the mathematics department at Austin by R. L. Moore, known for his segregationist views and for his snubs of African-American students.
Bradley was born in Tyler, Texas. She earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1938 from Texas College, and a master's degree in mathematics education in 1946 from the University of Michigan. She became a teacher at a segregated black high school in Hawkins, Texas, at Paul Quinn College, and at Texas College, before becoming an assistant professor of mathematics at Prairie View A&M College. There, in 1957–1958, she was awarded a National Science Faculty Fellowship, one of only 100 awarded in the inaugural year of the program.
She completed her doctorate at the University of Texas in July 1960. Her dissertation, in mathematics education, was An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Collegiate General Mathematics Course. In 1962 she moved from Prairie View to Texas Southern University, as an associate professor.
Bradley died in February 1995 at the age of 76.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphism%20group | In mathematics, the automorphism group of an object X is the group consisting of automorphisms of X under composition of morphisms. For example, if X is a finite-dimensional vector space, then the automorphism group of X is the group of invertible linear transformations from X to itself (the general linear group of X). If instead X is a group, then its automorphism group is the group consisting of all group automorphisms of X.
Especially in geometric contexts, an automorphism group is also called a symmetry group. A subgroup of an automorphism group is sometimes called a transformation group.
Automorphism groups are studied in a general way in the field of category theory.
Examples
If X is a set with no additional structure, then any bijection from X to itself is an automorphism, and hence the automorphism group of X in this case is precisely the symmetric group of X. If the set X has additional structure, then it may be the case that not all bijections on the set preserve this structure, in which case the automorphism group will be a subgroup of the symmetric group on X. Some examples of this include the following:
The automorphism group of a field extension is the group consisting of field automorphisms of L that fix K. If the field extension is Galois, the automorphism group is called the Galois group of the field extension.
The automorphism group of the projective n-space over a field k is the projective linear group
The automorphism group of a finite cyclic group of order n is isomorphic to , the multiplicative group of integers modulo n, with the isomorphism given by . In particular, is an abelian group.
The automorphism group of a finite-dimensional real Lie algebra has the structure of a (real) Lie group (in fact, it is even a linear algebraic group: see below). If G is a Lie group with Lie algebra , then the automorphism group of G has a structure of a Lie group induced from that on the automorphism group of .
If G is a group acting on a set X, the action amounts to a group homomorphism from G to the automorphism group of X and conversely. Indeed, each left G-action on a set X determines , and, conversely, each homomorphism defines an action by . This extends to the case when the set X has more structure than just a set. For example, if X is a vector space, then a group action of G on X is a group representation of the group G, representing G as a group of linear transformations (automorphisms) of X; these representations are the main object of study in the field of representation theory.
Here are some other facts about automorphism groups:
Let be two finite sets of the same cardinality and the set of all bijections . Then , which is a symmetric group (see above), acts on from the left freely and transitively; that is to say, is a torsor for (cf. #In category theory).
Let P be a finitely generated projective module over a ring R. Then there is an embedding , unique up to inner automorphisms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin%20in%20the%20Game%20%28book%29 | Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life (acronymed: SITG) is a 2018 nonfiction book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a former options trader with a background in the mathematics of probability and statistics.
Taleb's thesis is that skin in the game—i.e., having a shared risk when taking a major decision—is necessary for fairness, commercial efficiency, and risk management, as well as being necessary to understand the world. The book is part of Taleb's multi-volume philosophical essay on uncertainty, titled the Incerto, which also includes Fooled by Randomness (2001), The Black Swan (2007–2010), The Bed of Procrustes (2010–2016), and Antifragile (2012). The book is dedicated to "two men of courage": Ron Paul, "a Roman among Greeks"; and Ralph Nader, "Greco-Phoenician saint".
Asymmetry and missing incentives
If an actor pockets some rewards from a policy they enact or support without accepting any of the risks, economists consider it to be a problem of "missing incentives". In contrast, to Taleb, the problem is more fundamentally one of asymmetry: one actor gets the rewards, the other is stuck with the risks.
Taleb argues that "For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do... Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations."
The centrality of negative incentives
Actors – per Taleb – must bear a cost when they fail the public. A fund manager that gets a percentage on wins, but no penalty for losing, is incentivized to gamble with his clients' funds. Bearing no downside for one's actions means that one has no "skin in the game", which is the source of many evils.
An evolutionary process is an additional argument for SITG. Those who err and have SITG will not survive; hence, evolutionary processes will eliminate (physically or figuratively by going bankrupt etc) those tending to do stupid things. Without SITG, this process cannot work.
Examples
Robert Rubin, a highly-paid director and senior advisor at Citigroup, paid no financial penalty when Citigroup had to be rescued by U.S. taxpayers due to overreach. Taleb calls this sort of a trade, with upside gain but no or limited downside risk, a "Bob Rubin trade".
Many war hawks do not themselves bear any risks of dying in a war they advocate.
Intellectual Yet Idiot
Intellectual Yet Idiot (IYI) is a term coined by Taleb in his essay by the same name that refers to the semi-intelligent well-pedigreed "who are telling us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think... and 5) who to vote for". They represent a very small minority of people but have an overwhelming impact on the vast majority because they affect government policy. IYI are often policy makers, academics, journalists, and media pundits.
Taleb points out that being educated and "intellectual" does not always mean that someone is not an idiot for most purposes. " |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unscented%20optimal%20control | In mathematics, unscented optimal control combines the notion of the unscented transform with deterministic optimal control to address a class of uncertain optimal control problems. It is a specific application of Riemmann-Stieltjes optimal control theory, a concept introduced by Ross and his coworkers.
Mathematical description
Suppose that the initial state of a dynamical system,
is an uncertain quantity. Let be the sigma points. Then sigma-copies of the dynamical system are given by,
Applying standard deterministic optimal control principles to this ensemble generates an unscented optimal control. Unscented optimal control is a special case of tychastic optimal control theory. According to Aubin and Ross, tychastic processes differ from stochastic processes in that a tychastic process is conditionally deterministic.
Applications
Unscented optimal control theory has been applied to UAV guidance, spacecraft attitude control, air-traffic control and low-thrust trajectory optimization

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uta%20Merzbach | Uta Caecilia Merzbach (February 9, 1933 – June 27, 2017) was a German-American historian of mathematics who became the first curator of mathematical instruments at the Smithsonian Institution.
Early life
Merzbach was born in Berlin, where her mother was a philologist and her father was an economist who worked for the Reich Association of Jews in Germany during World War II. The Nazi government closed the association in June 1943; they arrested the family, along with other leading members of the association, and sent them to the Theresienstadt concentration camp on August 4, 1943. The Merzbachs survived the war and the camp, and after living for a year in a refugee camp in Deggendorf they moved to Georgetown, Texas in 1946, where her father found a faculty position at Southwestern University.
Education
After high school in Brownwood, Texas, Merzbach entered Southwestern, but transferred after two years to the University of Texas at Austin, where she graduated in 1952 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. In 1954, she earned a master's degree there, also in mathematics. Merzbach became a school teacher, but soon returned to graduate study at Harvard University.
She completed her Ph.D. at Harvard in 1965. Her dissertation, Quantity of Structure: Development of Modern Algebraic Concepts from Leibniz to Dedekind, combined mathematics and the history of science; it was jointly supervised by mathematician Garrett Birkhoff and historian of science I. Bernard Cohen.
Career
Merzbach joined the Smithsonian as an associate curator in 1964 (later curator), and served there until 1988 in the National Museum of American History. As well as collecting mathematical objects at the Smithsonian, she also collected interviews with many of the pioneers of computing. In 1991, she co-authored the second edition of A History of Mathematics, originally published in 1968 by Carl Benjamin Boyer.
After her retirement she returned to Georgetown, Texas, where she died in 2017.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria%20Hasse | Maria-Viktoria Hasse (May 30, 1921 – January 10, 2014) was a German mathematician who became the first female professor in the faculty of mathematics and science at TU Dresden. She wrote books on set theory and category theory, and is known as one of the namesakes of the Gallai–Hasse–Roy–Vitaver theorem in graph coloring.
Education and career
Hasse was born in Warnemünde. She went to the Gymnasium in Rostock, and after a term in the Reich Labour Service from 1939 to 1940, studied mathematics, physics, and philosophy at the University of Rostock and University of Tübingen from 1940 to 1943, earning a diploma in 1943 from Rostock. She continued at Rostock as an assistant and lecturer, earning a doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in 1949 and a habilitation in 1954. Her doctoral dissertation, Über eine singuläre Intergralgleichung 1. Art mit logarithmischer Unstetigkeit [On a singular integral equation of the 1st kind with logarithmic discontinuity], was supervised by Hans Schubert; her habilitation thesis was Über eine Hillsche Differentialgleichung [On Hill's differential equation]. She worked as a professor of algebra at TU Dresden from 1954 until her 1981 retirement.
Contributions
With Lothar Michler, Hasse wrote Theorie der Kategorien [Category Theory] (Deutscher Verlag, 1966). She also wrote Grundbegriffe der Mengenlehre und Logik [Basic Concepts of Set Theory and Logic] (Harri Deutsch, 1968).
In the theory of graph coloring, the Gallai–Hasse–Roy–Vitaver theorem provides a duality between colorings of the vertices of a graph and orientations of its edges. It states that the minimum number of colors needed in a coloring equals the number of vertices in a longest path, in an orientation chosen to minimize the length of this path. It was stated in 1958 in a graph theory textbook by Claude Berge, and independently published by Hasse, Tibor Gallai, B. Roy, and L. Vitaver. Hasse's publication of this result was the second chronologically, in 1965.

Kenschaft was born in 1940 to political activist and history teacher Bertha Francis Clark and organic chemist John Randolph Clark. The family lived in Nutley.
The eldest of four children, Kenschaft took on a nurturing in the household. Her brother, Bruce, was born with cognitive disabilities. This led to her mother and family becoming advocates for special education and state income taxes to better support school systems.
Kenschaft graduated from Swarthmore College in 1961, earning a bachelor's degree with honors in mathematics and with minors in English, philosophy, and education. She earned a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1963, and then returned to the University of Pennsylvania for doctoral studies, completing a Ph.D. in 1973, while in the same period raising a child and founding a nursery school in Concord, Massachusetts. Her dissertation, in functional analysis, was Homogeneous -Algebras over , and was supervised by Edward Effros.
After working in adjunct positions at St. Elizabeth's College and Bloomfield College, she joined the Montclair State faculty in 1973, and was promoted to full professor in 1988. She retired in 2005 and died in 2022.
Service to the profession
Kenschaft became the founding president of the New Jersey Association for Women in Mathematics in 1981 and of the New Jersey Faculty Forum in 1988. She chaired the Committee on Participation of Women of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) from 1987 to 1993, the Committee on Mathematics and the Environment of the MAA from 2000 to 2004, and the Equity and Diversity Integration Task Force of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in 2003. She served as director of several projects to improve mathematics education in public schools, including PRIMES (Project for Resourceful Instruction of Mathematics in the Elementary School). Kenschaft hosted a live weekly radio talk show called "Math Medley" from 1998 - 2004.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuglede%27s%20conjecture | Fuglede's conjecture is an open problem in mathematics proposed by Bent Fuglede in 1974. It states that every domain of (i.e. subset of with positive finite Lebesgue measure) is a spectral set if and only if it tiles by translation.
Spectral sets and translational tiles
Spectral sets in
A set with positive finite Lebesgue measure is said to be a spectral set if there exists a such that is an orthogonal basis of . The set is then said to be a spectrum of and is called a spectral pair.
Translational tiles of
A set is said to tile by translation (i.e. is a translational tile) if there exist a discrete set such that and the Lebesgue measure of is zero for all in .
Partial results
Fuglede proved in 1974 that the conjecture holds if is a fundamental domain of a lattice.
In 2003, Alex Iosevich, Nets Katz and Terence Tao proved that the conjecture holds if is a convex planar domain.
In 2004, Terence Tao showed that the conjecture is false on for . It was later shown by Bálint Farkas, Mihail N. Kolounzakis, Máté Matolcsi and Péter Móra that the conjecture is also false for and . However, the conjecture remains unknown for .
In 2015, Alex Iosevich, Azita Mayeli and Jonathan Pakianathan showed that the conjecture holds in , where is the cyclic group of order p.
In 2017, Rachel Greenfeld and Nir Lev proved the conjecture for convex polytopes in .
In 2019, Nir Lev and Máté Matolcsi settled the conjecture for convex domains affirmatively in all dimensions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abundance%20conjecture | In algebraic geometry, the abundance conjecture is a conjecture in
birational geometry, more precisely in the minimal model program,
stating that for every projective variety with Kawamata log terminal singularities over a field if the canonical bundle is nef, then is semi-ample.
Important cases of the abundance conjecture have been proven by Caucher Birkar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie%20A.%20Vitulli | Marie A. Vitulli is an American mathematician and professor emerita at the University of Oregon.
Mathematics
Vitulli's research is in commutative algebra and applications to algebraic geometry. More specific topics in her research include deformations of monomial curves, seminormal rings, the weak normality of commutative rings and algebraic varieties, weak subintegrality, and the theory of valuations for commutative rings. Along with her colleague David K. Harrison, she developed a unified valuation theory for rings with zero divisors that generalized both Krull and Archimedean valuations.
She was an undergraduate at the University of Rochester and
obtained her PhD in 1976 at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Dock-Sang Rim. Her dissertation was Weierstrass Points and Monomial Curves. The title of her 2014 Falconer lecture was "From Algebraic to Weak Subintegral Extensions in Algebra and Geometry."
Activism
Vitulli and political scientist Gordon Lafer led an effort to unionize faculty at the University of Oregon beginning in the spring of 2007. This effort eventually led to the formation of the United Academics at the University of Oregon.
Vitulli heads the Women in Math Project at the University of Oregon.
With Mary Flahive, Vitulli has also studied patterns in hiring among women mathematicians. Vitulli has also written about the difficulties involved with documenting the lives of female mathematicians on Wikipedia.
Vitulli participated in the panel discussion held as the first official activity of Spectra at the 2015 Joint Mathematics Meetings. She endowed the MSRI Marie A. Vitulli Graduate Fellowship to "support one advanced graduate student in mathematics, per academic year, to attend an MSRI program with their advisor."
Recognition
Vitulli was recognized as an AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer in 2014. Vitulli received a Service Award from the Association for Women in Mathematics in 2017.
She is part of the 2019 class of fellows of the Association for Women in Mathematics.
She was elected as a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society in the 2020 Class, for "contributions to commutative algebra, and for service to the mathematical community particularly in support of women in mathematics".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostitution%20statistics%20by%20country | In 2012 it was estimated that there were between 40 and 42 million prostitutes in the world. The list of countries below provides an estimate for the number of people working as prostitutes in each country. China, India, and the United States are the countries with the most prostitutes.
Methodology
There are a number of difficulties involved in collecting meaningful prostitution statistics. For example, the greater visibility of some forms of prostitution, such as street prostitution, makes statistics on these forms easier to collect. However, in some countries street prostitution forms a much smaller part of the sex industry than indoor prostitution. Similarly sex workers with health, addiction and other support needs are more likely to be known to the authorities and hence easier for researchers to contact, but may not be representative of prostitution as a whole. National Ugly Mugs, a support organisation for sex workers in the United Kingdom, has identified several factors making it difficult to collect statistics for the sex industry, including low response rates, the small scale of research compared to the size of the sex industry, and the diversity of the industry. As a result published statistics are often conflicting and contested.
In countries where prostitution is illegal, the use of arrest data to create general prostitution statistics can be misleading. The majority of prostitutes are never arrested, and those who are, can often be charged with other offences instead. Class bias may be introduced into the statistics as a result of police officers being more likely to arrest street prostitutes than high-class call girls. In comparing one area with another there may be differences in the definition of a crime, the police enforcement rate, and the possibility of the inflation of arrest figures or the under-reporting of crime.
Due to the unregulated and often illegal nature of the work, only estimates are available for the number of prostitutes in a country. The numbers for a country can vary considerably dependent on the source. Some countries' numbers may suffer from poor methodology. In other cases, results may be influenced by whether the organisation producing the numbers is for or against the nature of the work. Where available, figures are taken from Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS 2016 "Sex Workers: Size Estimates."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GKM%20variety | In algebraic geometry, a GKM variety is a complex algebraic variety equipped with a torus action that meets certain conditions. The concept was introduced by Mark Goresky, Robert Kottwitz, and Robert MacPherson in 1998. The torus action of a GKM variety must be skeletal: both the set of fixed points of the action, and the number of one-dimensional orbits of the action, must be finite. In addition, the action must be equivariantly formal, a condition that can be phrased in terms of the torus' rational cohomology.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai%20Georgievich%20Makarov | Nikolai Georgievich Makarov (; born January 1955) is a Russian mathematician. He is known for his work in complex analysis and its applications to dynamical systems, probability theory and mathematical physics. He is currently the Richard Merkin Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at Caltech, where he has been teaching since 1991.
Career
Makarov belongs to the Leningrad school of geometric function theory. He graduated from the Leningrad State University with a bachelor's degree in 1982. He received his Ph.D. (Candidate of Science) from the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in 1986 under Nikolai Nikolski with thesis Metric properties of harmonic measure (title translated from Russian).. He was an academic at the Steklov Institute of Mathematics in Leningrad. Since 1991 he has been a professor at Caltech.
In 1986 he was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in Berkeley, California. In 1986 he was awarded the Salem Prize for solving difficult problems involving the boundary behavior of the conformal mapping of a disk onto a domain with a Jordan curve boundary using stochastic methods. In 2020, he was awarded the Rolf Schock Prize, "for his significant contributions to complex analysis and its applications to mathematical physics".
His doctoral students include the Fields medallist Stanislav Smirnov and .
Research
Makarov works in complex analysis and related fields (potential theory, harmonic analysis, spectral theory) as well as on various applications to complex dynamics, random matrices and mathematical conformal field theory.
Makarov's most well-known result concerns the theory of harmonic measure in the complex
plane. Makarov's theorem states that:
Let Ω be a simply connected domain in the complex plane. Suppose that ∂Ω (the boundary of Ω) is a Jordan curve. Then the harmonic measure on ∂Ω has Hausdorff dimension 1.
Makarov has also studied diffusion-limited aggregation which describes crystal growth in two dimensions with Lennart Carleson and Beurling-Malliavin theory with his former student Alexei
Poltoratski. He has studied the thermodynamic formalism for iterations of the rational functions
with another of his former students Stanislav Smirnov, Fields medallist. He has studied the stochastic properties of iterated polynomial maps with his former student Dapeng Zhan. He has studied the universality laws and field convergence in normal random matrix ensembles.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter%20Lewis%20Baily%20Jr. | Walter Lewis Baily Jr. (July 5, 1930, in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania – January 15, 2013, in Northbrook, Illinois) was an American mathematician.
Baily's research focused on areas of algebraic groups, modular forms and number-theoretical applications of automorphic forms. One of his significant works was with Armand Borel, now known as the Baily–Borel compactification, which is a compactification of a quotient of a Hermitian symmetric space by an arithmetic group (that is, a linear algebraic group over the rational numbers). Baily and Borel built on the work of Ichirō Satake and others.
Baily became a Putnam Fellow in 1952. He studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), receiving a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 1952. After that, he attended Princeton University, receiving a Masters in 1953 and a Ph.D. in Mathematics in 1955 under the direction of his thesis advisor Kunihiko Kodaira (On the Quotient of a Complex Analytic Manifold by a Discontinuous Group of Complex Analytic Self-Homomorphisms). Subsequently, he was an instructor at Princeton and then MIT. In 1957 he worked as a mathematician at Bell Laboratories. In 1957, he was appointed Assistant Professor and subsequently promoted to Professor in 1963 at the University of Chicago. He became a Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago in 2005.
He was a member of the American Mathematical Society and the Mathematical Society of Japan. He often visited the University of Tokyo as a guest of Shokichi Iyanaga and Kunihiko Kodaira, spoke fluent Japanese and in Tokyo, 1963 married Yaeko Iseki, with whom he had a son. He owned an apartment in Tokyo for many years, where he spent his summers. In addition, he often visited Moscow and Saint Petersburg and spoke fluent Russian.
He was awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship in 1958. In 1962, he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Stockholm (On the moduli of Abelian varieties with multiplications from an order in a totally real number field).
His doctoral students include Paul Monsky, Timothy J. Hickey, and Daniel Bump.
