Frances Ellen Baker (1902–1995) was an American mathematician who became a professor of mathematics and chair of the mathematics department at Vassar College. Early life and education Baker's father was Richard Philip Baker, a British-born mathematician, mathematical model maker, and college administrator. Her mother, Katherine Riedelbauch Baker, was a music teacher and chamber musician. Baker was born on December 19, 1902, in Anna, Illinois, and was home-schooled until high school, where she attended a public school in Iowa City, Iowa. She became valedictorian of her school, graduating in 1919. At the University of Iowa, where her father had become a mathematics professor, she studied classics and mathematics, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1923. She continued on as a graduate student, working with her father in mathematics and completing a master's degree in 1925. After completing her master's degree, Baker became head of the mathematics and physics department at Tabor College in Iowa in 1925, but the college closed in 1927. After briefly teaching at Jefferson City Junior College in Missouri, she earned a teaching certificate from the University of Iowa in 1928, and took courses at the University of Chicago beginning in 1929. She entered the university as a full-time student in 1931, and completed her Ph.D. in 1934. Her dissertation, A Contribution to the Waring Problem for Cubic Functions, concerned a variation of Waring's problem in number theory, on representing integers as sums of the values of a cubic polynomial; it was supervised by Leonard Eugene Dickson. Both Dickson and Richard Baker, in turn, had been students of the same doctoral advisor, E. H. Moore. Later life and career Baker's career at Vassar College began in early 1935, when she took a position as instructor there. In late 1935 she moved to Mount Holyoke College as an assistant professor. In 1942, Baker returned to Vassar, where her sister, mycologist Gladys Elizabeth Baker, had joined the faculty in 1940. Baker was re-hired at Vassar as an associate professor of mathematics; she was promoted to full professor in 1951, and chaired the mathematics department for two terms, from 1948 to 1950 and 1951 to 1952. She retired as a professor emerita in 1968. In her work as a mathematics professor, she was "particularly involved with honor students", both individually and as faculty mentor of student honor societies. She also gave public lectures about her father's models. In her retirement, Baker rejoined her sister in Sun City, Arizona. She died on April 4, 1995, in Peoria, Arizona. Legacy A doctoral hood worn by Baker is in the collection of the National Museum of American History, with photographs of Baker.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilenberg%E2%80%93Niven%20theorem
The Eilenberg–Niven theorem is a theorem that generalizes the fundamental theorem of algebra to quaternionic polynomials, that is, polynomials with quaternion coefficients and variables. It is due to Samuel Eilenberg and Ivan M. Niven. Statement Let where x, a0, a1, ... , an are non-zero quaternions and φ(x) is a finite sum of monomials similar to the first term but with degree less than n. Then P(x) = 0 has at least one solution. Generalizations If permitting multiple monomials with the highest degree, then the theorem does not hold, and P(x) = x + ixi + 1 = 0 is a counterexample with no solutions. Eilenberg–Niven theorem can also be generalized to octonions: all octonionic polynomials with a unique monomial of higher degree have at least one solution, independent of the order of the parenthesis (the octonions are a non-associative algebra). Different from quaternions, however, the monic and non-monic octonionic polynomials do not have always the same set of zeros. References Theorems about polynomials

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norma%20Hern%C3%A1ndez
Norma Eugenia González Hernández (née González, born May 19, 1934) is an American mathematics educator known for her work on the educational achievements of Mexican-American students and on the factors influencing those achievements. She was dean of education at the University of Texas at El Paso. Early life and education Hernández was born on May 19, 1934, in El Paso, Texas, where her mother, Mexican-American writer and grocer Ramona González, had also been born and educated; her father was a sales clerk who had immigrated to the US from Zacatecas, Mexico. Both of her parents had a high school education, well-educated by the standards of Mexican Americans at the time. An aunt, living with them in El Paso, worked as a schoolteacher and principal in nearby Ciudad Juárez. She had three brothers and sisters, all of whom went on to professional careers. As a child, Hernández's talent in mathematics showed through her work making change at her mother's grocery. Although many public schools of that time and place segregated Mexican-Americans into poorer-quality education, Hernández was able to attend integrated schools. She earned many academic honors for her schoolwork, but was passed over for valedictorian in favor of a white male student whose overall record was not as accomplished. She became a student at Texas Western College, which would later become the University of Texas at El Paso. She majored in mathematics there, and was the only female student in the advanced mathematics courses she took. She graduated in 1954 as "possibly one of the first American-born Latinas to receive a degree in mathematics from an accredited college in the United States", and in the same year married her husband, health scientist Rodolfo Hernández, with whom she had four daughters. Teaching career and graduate study Hernández became an elementary school teacher in El Paso in 1955, and in 1957 moved to Austin, Texas, continuing as a teacher there for three years. In Austin, she earned a master's degree in mathematics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1960. Her master's thesis was An introduction to logic, sets, and mathematical systems. After this, she returned to El Paso, where she worked as supervisor of secondary mathematics until 1967. Her next step was to return to graduate study at the University of Texas at Austin, as a doctoral student in mathematics education. She completed her Ph.D. in 1970, again possibly as a first for this degree for a Mexican-American woman. Her dissertation was An observation system to analyze cognitive content of teacher discourse in a mathematics lesson. Academic career and later life Hernández took a position as assistant professor of education at the University of Texas at El Paso, starting in 1969. In 1974, the university named her dean of education, the first Hispanic alumna of the university to attain such a position. Under her leadership, in 1976, the university's program in education was accredited by the National

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%20Dyson%20%28schoolmaster%29
James William Dyson (29 June 1875 – 6 March 1965) was an English schoolmaster whose subject was maths. After teaching at schools in Faversham and Wellingborough, for most of his career he was head of Boston Grammar School and Ripon Grammar School. Early life Born at Wellingborough, Dyson was the eldest son of James Greaves Dyson, a corn merchants’ agent, of Wellingborough, originally from Ambleside, Westmorland. The young Dyson was educated at Wellingborough Grammar School under the headship of Dr H. E. Platt. In the Cambridge schools examinations of December 1891, he gained distinctions in mathematics and applied mathematics. In June 1894 he was admitted as a sizar to St John's College, Cambridge, which was the old college of his headmaster, Dr Platt, and matriculated in the Michaelmas term of that year. His room at St John's, H2 in First Court, had previously been occupied by Charles Stewart Middlemiss. Dyson graduated BA in 1897 and proceeded to MA by seniority in 1902. Dyson had three younger brothers, Harry, Arthur, and George, and two younger sisters, Elizabeth and Gertrude. By 1891 their father was a corn merchant on his own account. Career Dyson began his teaching career in the Michaelmas term of 1897, weeks after graduating at Cambridge, with an appointment as an assistant schoolmaster at Faversham Grammar School, and remained there for four years. In 1901 he took a job at his old school in Wellingborough and rose there to be a house master and the senior maths master. In 1912, he gained his first headship, at Boston Grammar School, and in 1919 was appointed as headmaster of Ripon Grammar School. He made it a condition of accepting the job at Ripon that the school governors would agree to abolish cubicles in the boarding house. He remained in post until 1935, when he retired. Jack Gibson, one of Dyson's staff at Ripon in the 1930s, later reported Personal life In 1903, Dyson married Ethel Johnson, a native of Cambridge. A son, Alec William, was born in Boston in 1913. In 1939, the couple was living in retirement at Thriplow, near Cambridge, with their son, also a schoolmaster. In 1940, at Cambridge, Alec Dyson married Janet M. Bolton, daughter of the Vicar of Fowlmere, a short distance from Thriplow, and they were the parents of James Dyson, born at Cromer in 1947, and two other children. J. W. Dyson and his wife moved to Colne Place, Cromer, to be near their son's family in Holt, Norfolk. Their son died of cancer in May 1956, and Ethel Dyson died in August 1959. J. W. Dyson followed in 1965, in his ninetieth year. Notes 1875 births 1965 deaths Alumni of St John's College, Cambridge Heads of schools in England People educated at Wellingborough School
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rathjen%27s%20psi%20function
In mathematics, Rathjen's  psi function is an ordinal collapsing function developed by Michael Rathjen. It collapses weakly Mahlo cardinals to generate large countable ordinals. A weakly Mahlo cardinal is a cardinal such that the set of regular cardinals below is closed under (i.e. all normal functions closed in are closed under some regular ordinal ). Rathjen uses this to diagonalise over the weakly inaccessible hierarchy. It admits an associated ordinal notation  whose limit (i.e. ordinal type) is , which is strictly greater than both and the limit of countable ordinals expressed by Rathjen's . , which is called the "Small Rathjen ordinal" is the proof-theoretic ordinal of , Kripke–Platek set theory augmented by the axiom schema "for any -formula  satisfying , there exists an addmissible set  satisfying ". It is equal to in Rathjen's function. Definition Restrict and to uncountable regular cardinals ; for a function let denote the domain of ; let denote , and let denote the enumeration of . Lastly, an ordinal is said to be to be strongly critical if . For and : If for some , define using the unique . Otherwise if for some , then define using the unique , where is a set of strongly critical ordinals explicitly defined in the original source. For : Explanation Restrict to uncountable regular cardinals. is a unique increasing function such that the range of  is exactly . is the closure of , i.e. , where denotes the class of non-zero limit ordinals. Rathjen originally defined the  function in more complicated a way in order to create an ordinal notation associated to it. Therefore, it is not certain whether the simplified OCF above yields an ordinal notation or not. The original  functions used in Rathjen's original OCF are also not so easy to understand, and differ from the  functions defined above. Rathjen's and the simplification provided above are not the same OCF. This is partially because the former is known to admit an ordinal notation, while the latter isn't known to admit an ordinal notation. Rathjen's is often confounded with another of his OCFs which also uses the symbol , but they are distinct notions. The former one is a published OCF, while the latter one is just a function symbol in an ordinal notation associated to an unpublished OCF.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical%20probability%20density
The classical probability density is the probability density function that represents the likelihood of finding a particle in the vicinity of a certain location subject to a potential energy in a classical mechanical system. These probability densities are helpful in gaining insight into the correspondence principle and making connections between the quantum system under study and the classical limit. Mathematical background Consider the example of a simple harmonic oscillator initially at rest with amplitude . Suppose that this system was placed inside a light-tight container such that one could only view it using a camera which can only take a snapshot of what's happening inside. Each snapshot has some probability of seeing the oscillator at any possible position along its trajectory. The classical probability density encapsulates which positions are more likely, which are less likely, the average position of the system, and so on. To derive this function, consider the fact that the positions where the oscillator is most likely to be found are those positions at which the oscillator spends most of its time. Indeed, the probability of being at a given -value is proportional to the time spent in the vicinity of that -value. If the oscillator spends an infinitesimal amount of time in the vicinity of a given -value, then the probability of being in that vicinity will be Since the force acting on the oscillator is conservative and the motion occurs over a finite domain, the motion will be cyclic with some period which will be denoted . Since the probability of the oscillator being at any possible position between the minimum possible -value and the maximum possible -value must sum to 1, the normalization is used, where is the normalization constant. Since the oscillating mass covers this range of positions in half its period (a full period goes from to then back to ) the integral over is equal to , which sets to be . Using the chain rule, can be put in terms of the height at which the mass is lingering by noting that , so our probability density becomes where is the speed of the oscillator as a function of its position. (Note that because speed is a scalar, is the same for both half periods.) At this point, all that is needed is to provide a function to obtain . For systems subject to conservative forces, this is done by relating speed to energy. Since kinetic energy is and the total energy , where is the potential energy of the system, the speed can be written as Plugging this into our expression for yields Though our starting example was the harmonic oscillator, all the math up to this point has been completely general for a particle subject to a conservative force. This formula can be generalized for any one-dimensional physical system by plugging in the corresponding potential energy function. Once this is done, is readily obtained for any allowed energy .

Cecilia Wangechi Mwathi (15 May 1963 – 17 August 2011) was a Kenyan mathematician and union activist. She was the first woman in Kenya to become a mathematics professor, and was known both for her activism for higher education and for inspiring Kenyan girls to study science, technology, and mathematics. Early life and education Mwathi was born on 15 May 1963 in Kaigonde, a village in Kenya near Gichira, as the fifth of eight children in a poor family. She was educated in Gichira, having to walk 5km barefoot to reach the school. She then went to Mugoiri Girls High School and Chania High School before studying mathematics education at Kenyatta University, where she was awarded a bachelor's degree in 1987. In the next years, she worked as a high school teacher at Garissa High School and then Kenya High School. Returning to Kenyatta University in 1991, she earned a master's degree in mathematics in 1992. From 1995 through 1998, she was a doctoral student at the University of Zimbabwe, while working as a mathematics instructor in Kenya. She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Zimbabwe in 1998; her dissertation was Groups of Units in Algebraic Number Fields of Fourth and Eighth Degrees, and concerned algebraic number theory. Academic career and later life Mwathi joined the faculty of the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) as an assistant lecturer in 1992. She became a lecturer in 1995 and senior lecturer in 2000. In 2005 she became secretary general of the UASU-JKUAT faculty union chapter. In 2006, the university became embroiled in a crisis over its failure to pay its faculty in a timely manner, and Mwathi was a leading representative for the faculty in this issue. After the faculty went on strike in October 2006, Mwathi and another union leader, Moses Muchina, were fired from their faculty positions, and in 2008 the Kenyan courts upheld their firing. However, later in 2008, when Mabel Imbuga became vice-chancellor of JKUAT, she announced an amnesty on the issue and reinstated Mwathi to her professorship, conditioned on not pursuing further legal action. Mwathi was named associate professor in 2010. Mwathi was the hosting chair and convener of the Second Africa Regional Congress of the International Commission on Mathematics Instruction, held at JKUAT in 2007. She also served as editor in chief of the Journal of Agriculture, Science, and Technology, published by JKUAT. She died on 17 August 2011, in Nairobi Hospital, after a long illness, survived by three daughters and two foster children. JKUAT held a requiem mass in her honor on 24 August 2011.

Sylvia de Neymet Urbina (aka Silvia de Neymet de Christ, 1939 – 13 January 2003) was a Mexican mathematician, the first woman to earn a doctorate in mathematics in Mexico, and the first female professor in the faculty of sciences of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Early life and education De Neymet was born in Mexico City in 1939. Her mother had been orphaned in the Mexican Revolution of 1910, studied art at La Esmeralda, and became a teacher; she encouraged De Neymet in her studies. Her father's mother was also a teacher, and her father was a civil engineer. In 1955 she began studying at the Universidad Femenina de México, a women's school founded by , and in her fourth year there she was hired as a mathematics teacher herself, despite the fact that many of her students would be older than her. After two years of mathematical study in Paris, at the Institut Henri Poincaré, from 1959 to 1961, de Neymet returned to Mexico and was given a degree in mathematics in 1961, with a thesis on differential equations supervised by Solomon Lefschetz, who by this time was regularly wintering at UNAM. At around the same time, CINVESTAV (the Center for Research and Advanced Studies of the National Polytechnic Institute) was founded; de Neymet became one of the first students there, and the first doctoral student of Samuel Gitler Hammer, one of the founders of CINVESTAV. She married Michael Christ, a French physician, in 1962, and while still finishing her doctorate became a teacher at the Escuela Superior de Física y Matemáticas of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional, founded four years earlier. She completed her doctorate under Gitler's supervision in 1966, becoming one of the first seven people to earn a mathematics doctorate in Mexico, and the first Mexican woman to do so. Career and later life After completing her doctorate, she joined the faculty of sciences of UNAM, one of only three full-time mathematicians there (with Víctor Neumann-Lara and Arturo Fregoso Urbina). After continuing her career at UNAM for many years, she died on 13 January 2003.

Un "Sung Stories" is the first solo album by the American roots rock musician Phil Alvin, released in 1986. After promoting the album, Alvin returned to his graduate studies in mathematics. Production Sun Ra's Arkestra and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band contributed to the album. The Arkestra played on three homages to Cab Calloway: "The Old Man of the Mountain", "Brother Can You Spare a Dime?" and "The Ballad of Smokey Joe". "Daddy Rollin' Stone" is the only track on the album that was composed after World War II. Critical reception Trouser Press called Un "Sung Stories" "a delightful solo album of blues, gospel and jazz goodies." Robert Christgau opined that Alvin "loves a good lyric, and if he can't write them or order them up, he has only to ransack his record collection for oldies that are just strange enough." The Sacramento Bee noted that "Alvin has trimmed some of the excessive stylization of some of his Blasters work, and deepened the bluesy feel in his voice." The Chicago Tribune deemed the album "an offbeat mix of musical Americana that includes gospel, country blues and pop anthems of the 1920s and '30s." The Los Angeles Times wrote that "Alvin's forceful arrangements fuses the material with dark, funny, frightening and inspiring edges ... The result is an album that suggests a heroic grappling with the struggles involved in daily living." The San Francisco Chronicle determined that "the whole enterprise has a slightly esoteric feel, but when the collaborations click, such as the funky 'The Ballad of Smokey Joe' or the rollicking 'Daddy Rollin' Stone', the results provide minor musical gems, unexpected rewards and enough high points to declare Alvin's daring worthwhile." AllMusic wrote: "Short and sweet, Un 'Sung Stories''' is a true gem that's richly felt in a way a collection of 'old standards' is not expected to be." The Spin Alternative Record Guide'' likened Alvin to a "West-Coast Buster Poindexter," and considered the album "pleasant." Track listing References 1986 albums Slash Records albums
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%20Newell
Virginia Kimbrough Newell (born October 7, 1917) is an American mathematics educator, author, politician, and centenarian. Early life and education Virginia Kimbrough was born on October 7, 1917, in Advance, North Carolina, one of nine children. Although her family was African American, she grew up playing with the white children in a white neighborhood; her father, a builder, had the right to vote because he had a white ancestor, and both of her parents had studied at Shaw University, without finishing a degree. Kimbrough learned arithmetic helping her father in his measurements, and won a mathematics competition in elementary school. Her family sent her away to live with a great aunt, so that she could obtain a better education at Atkins High School (North Carolina). There, she learned mathematics from teachers Togo West and Beatrice Armstead, earning straight A's and becoming a teacher's assistant. After graduating in 1936, she obtained scholarships from many colleges, and chose to major in mathematics at Talladega College, a historically black college in Alabama. Many of her teachers there had previously taught at Ivy League universities, and had come to Talladega to teach because of mandatory retirement at their former employers. She later earned a master's degree from New York University, and took courses from the University of Wisconsin, Atlanta University, University of Chicago, and North Carolina State College. She completed a doctorate in education at the University of Sarasota in 1976, with the dissertation Development of mathematics self-instructional learning packages with activities from the newspaper for prospective elementary school teachers enrolled at Winston-Salem State University. Mathematics After college, Kimbrough returned to Atkins High School as a mathematics teacher. There, in 1943, she married George Newell, who had been her biology teacher at the same school, changing her name to Virginia Newell. They both taught at several institutions in Atlanta and Raleigh, North Carolina, including Washington Graded and High School, John W. Ligon High School, and Shaw University, where Virginia Newell was an associate professor of mathematics from 1960 to 1965. In 1965, they both settled at Winston-Salem State University, where Virginia Newell became a mathematics professor. At Winston-Salem State University, she chaired the mathematics department, helped bring computers to the university and found the computer science program, becoming founding chair of the computer science department in 1979. She spearheaded several initiatives for middle school students, including the Math and Science Academy of Excellence, the New Directions for our Youth program aimed at preventing dropouts, and the Best Choice Center for after-school education. She was a co-founder and president of the North Carolina Council of Teachers on Mathematics In 1980, Newell became one of the coauthors of Black Mathematicians and Their Works (with Joella Gipson

In mathematics, the Jordan–Pólya numbers are the numbers that can be obtained by multiplying together one or more factorials, not required to be distinct from each other. For instance, is a Jordan–Pólya number because Every tree has a number of symmetries that is a Jordan–Pólya number, and every Jordan–Pólya number arises in this way as the order of an automorphism group of a tree. These numbers are named after Camille Jordan and George Pólya, who both wrote about them in the context of symmetries of trees. These numbers grow more quickly than polynomials but more slowly than exponentials. As well as in the symmetries of trees, they arise as the numbers of transitive orientations of comparability graphs and in the problem of finding factorials that can be represented as products of smaller factorials. Sequence and growth rate The sequence of Jordan–Pólya numbers begins: They form the smallest multiplicatively closed set containing all of the factorials.

The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) is one of the thirteen principal statistical agencies of the United States and is tasked with providing objective data on the status of the science and engineering enterprise in the U.S. and other countries. NCSES sponsors or co-sponsors data collection on 15 surveys and produces two key publications: Science and Engineering Indicators, and Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering. Though policy-neutral, the data and reports produced by NCSES are used by policymakers when making policy decisions regarding STEM education and research funding in the U.S. History, mission and organization The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) is a principal agency of the Federal Statistical System of the United States that serves as a clearinghouse for collecting, interpreting, analyzing, and disseminating objective statistical data on the United States and other nations’ science and engineering enterprises. This includes data on the science and engineering workforce, the condition and progression of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the U.S. and abroad, and U.S. competitiveness in science, engineering, technology, and research and development (R&D). Additionally, NCSES's U.S. Congressional mandate includes supporting research that uses the data NCSES have acquired, educating and training researchers in the use of these data, and conducting methodological research in areas related to data collection and analysis. NCSES is also required to provide information to practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and the public using the processes established by the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2019 (Evidence Act). NCSES is unique as the only federal statistical agency to also be a division within the National Science Foundation (NSF). Originally named the Division of Science Resources Statistics and located within NSF's Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences, Section 505 of the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 authorized the division to be renamed the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics and expanded the new center's role within NSF. Despite the name change, recognized by NSF on February 15, 2011, NCSES continues to serve as the primary statistical resource for NSF. NCSES is the second smallest of the thirteen U.S. Federal statistical agencies in terms of staff (56 permanent full-time employees as of 2020), but ranks 9th in terms of budget ($58 million for fiscal year 2020). Despite its relatively small size, NCSES is composed of seven different programs. The Administrative and Program Operations Groups is responsible for managerial, budget, and business process support, as well as assistance to the Office of the Director.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibbinary%20number
In mathematics, the fibbinary numbers are the numbers whose binary representation does not contain two consecutive ones. That is, they are sums of distinct and non-consecutive powers of two. Relation to binary and Fibonacci numbers The fibbinary numbers were given their name by Marc LeBrun, because they combine certain properties of binary numbers and Fibonacci numbers: The number of fibbinary numbers less than any given power of two is a Fibonacci number. For instance, there are 13 fibbinary numbers less than 32, the numbers 0, 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 18, 20, and 21. The condition of having no two consecutive ones, used in binary to define the fibbinary numbers, is the same condition used in the Zeckendorf representation of any number as a sum of non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers. The th fibbinary number (counting 0 as the 0th number) can be calculated by expressing in its Zeckendorf representation, and re-interpreting the resulting binary sequence as the binary representation of a number. For instance, the Zeckendorf representation of 19 is 101001 (where the 1's mark the positions of the Fibonacci numbers used in the expansion ), the binary sequence 101001, interpreted as a binary number, represents , and the 19th fibbinary number is 41. The th fibbinary number (again, counting 0 as 0th) is even or odd if and only if the th value in the Fibonacci word is 0 or 1, respectively. Properties Because the property of having no two consecutive ones defines a regular language, the binary representations of fibbinary numbers can be recognized by a finite automaton, which means that the fibbinary numbers form a 2-automatic set. The fibbinary numbers include the Moser–de Bruijn sequence, sums of distinct powers of four. Just as the fibbinary numbers can be formed by reinterpreting Zeckendorff representations as binary, the Moser–de Bruijn sequence can be formed by reinterpreting binary representations as quaternary. A number is a fibbinary number if and only if the binomial coefficient is odd. Relatedly, is fibbinary if and only if the central Stirling number of the second kind is odd. Every fibbinary number takes one of the two forms or , where is another fibbinary number. Correspondingly, the power series whose exponents are fibbinary numbers, obeys the functional equation provide asymptotic formulas for the number of integer partitions in which all parts are fibbinary. If a hypercube graph of dimension is indexed by integers from 0 to , so that two vertices are adjacent when their indexes have binary representations with Hamming distance one, then the subset of vertices indexed by the fibbinary numbers forms a Fibonacci cube as its induced subgraph. Every number has a fibbinary multiple. For instance, 15 is not fibbinary, but multiplying it by 11 produces 165 (101001012), which is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise%20Stokes%20Hunter
Ella Louise Stokes Hunter (died 1988) was an American mathematics educator who became the first African-American woman to earn a degree at the University of Virginia. She taught for many years at Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute and Virginia State College, two names for what is now Virginia State University. Early life and education Hunter was originally from Petersburg, Virginia. After studying at Peabody High School in Petersburg and the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, the predecessor institution to Virginia State, she went to Howard University, joined the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and graduated in 1920. She earned a master's degree in education from Harvard University in 1925. Although African American women such as Alberta Virginia Scott had previously graduated from Radcliffe College, she may have been the first to earn a degree from Harvard proper. Later in life, while working as a faculty member at Virginia State, Hunter became a doctoral student at the University of Virginia, studying mathematics education and doing her doctoral dissertation research on the transition from high school to college mathematics. She completed her Ph.D. in 1953, becoming the first African-American woman to earn a degree at the university, two months after another doctoral student in education, Walter N. Ridley, became the first African-American with a degree from the University of Virginia. Career and later life After graduating from Howard University, Hunter became an instructor at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, where she taught for many years. In 1921, she was one of six instructors there who banded together to found the Delta Omega graduate chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha (originally called the Nu chapter), and later she became its first historian and eighth president. On the faculty at the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, she met John McNeile Hunter, who began teaching electrical engineering there in 1925 and later became the third African American to earn a doctorate in physics. They married in 1929, and their daughter Jean, later a research psychologist, was born in 1938. Hunter became "known for her mentorship of Black students, particularly Black women studying math". Mathematician Linda B. Hayden recalls her as one of the faculty mentors who encouraged her to go on to graduate study. Mathematician Gladys West saw Hunter and her husband as "the first model of a power couple", and Hunter as a mentor who "still had something to prove, and maybe she felt like she was carrying the weight of other women on her shoulders". By 1948 she had been promoted to associate professor. After retiring from Virginia State University, Hunter continued to teach at Saint Paul's College (Virginia). She died in Petersburg in 1988. Recognition The annual student research conference at the University of Virginia was renamed as the Hunter Research Conference in 2020, in Hunter's honor. The conference had previously been named for Ja

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20Emily%20Sinclair
Mary Emily Sinclair (September 27, 1878 – June 3, 1955) was an American mathematician whose research concerned algebraic surfaces and the calculus of variations. She was the first woman to earn a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, and became Clark Professor of Mathematics at Oberlin College. Early life and education Sinclair was born on September 27, 1878, in Worcester, Massachusetts; she was the fourth of five children of John Elbridge Sinclair and Marietta S. Fletcher Sinclair. Her father was a mathematics professor at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and also had two daughters from an earlier marriage. Her mother, originally from Worcester, taught English and modern languages at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute but stopped when her children were born. After graduating in 1896 from the Worcester Classical High School, Mary Emily Sinclair became a student at Oberlin, and as a student served as president of the Oberlin branch of the YWCA. She graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1900 with an A.B. While working as a teacher at a seminary in Hartford, Connecticut, Sinclair continued her studies through the University of Chicago, earning a master's degree in mathematics in 1903. After briefly teaching at Lake Erie College in 1903, she taught at the University of Nebraska from 1904 through 1907, while continuing her graduate study at the University of Chicago. She completed her Ph.D. in 1908, with the dissertation On a Compound Discontinuous Solution Connected with the Surface of Revolution of Minimum Area in the calculus of variations, supervised by Oskar Bolza. She became the first woman to earn a doctorate in mathematics at the University of Chicago, and her doctorate marked the beginning of a period in which the university gave over 50 doctorates to women through 1946, likely the most of any American university. Career and later life Meanwhile, in 1907, Sinclair had taken a position as instructor at Oberlin College, where she would remain for the rest of her career, teaching there for 37 years. The next year, on receiving her doctorate, she was promoted to associate professor. Although unmarried, she adopted two children as infants in 1914 and 1915. Also in 1915, she became one of the founding members of the Mathematical Association of America. She was promoted to professor in 1925, and became head of the mathematics department at Oberlin in 1939. In 1941 she was named Clark Professor of Mathematics. She retired in 1944, but continued to teach mathematics to US Navy students for two more years through Berea College. She returned to Oberlin in 1947, but was heavily injured in a carjacking incident in 1950. She moved to Belfast, Maine, in 1953, living there with her daughter-in-law, and died there on June 3, 1955.

Ernst Ludwig Wilhelm Maximilian Curtze (4 August 1837 – 3 January 1903) was a German mathematician and historian of mathematics. He translated many classical mathematical texts. Curtze was born in Ballenstedt, in the Principality of Anhalt-Bernburg, the fourth son of physician Eduard Curtze and Johanna Nicolai. After attending the Carolinum grammar school at Bernburg, he graduated from the University of Greifswald in 1857 after training under Johann August Grunert. He then passed the examination for teachers in 1861 and taught at the Thorn (now Torn, Poland) Gymnasium until his retirement in 1896. A colleague was the Copernicus scholar Leopold Prove. His knowledge of languages and mathematics led him to examine works published in the Middle Ages. He translated the works of Nicole Oresme - Algorismus proportionum (1868), Anartius' commentary on Euclid, Peter of Dacia's commentary on Sacrobosco's Algorisms (1897) and other materials which he collected into his 1902 publication Urkunden zur Geschichte der Mathematik im Mittelalter und der Renaissance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Mersenne%20primes%20and%20perfect%20numbers
Mersenne primes and perfect numbers are two deeply interlinked types of natural numbers in number theory. Mersenne primes, named after the friar Marin Mersenne, are prime numbers that can be expressed as for some positive integer . For example, is a Mersenne prime as it is a prime number and is expressible as . The numbers corresponding to Mersenne primes must themselves be prime, although not all primes lead to Mersenne primes—for example, . Meanwhile, perfect numbers are natural numbers that equal the sum of their positive proper divisors, which are divisors excluding the number itself. So, is a perfect number because the proper divisors of are , and , and . There is a one-to-one correspondence between the Mersenne primes and the even perfect numbers. This is due to the Euclid–Euler theorem, partially proved by Euclid and completed by Leonhard Euler: even numbers are perfect if and only if they can be expressed in the form , where is a Mersenne prime. In other words, all numbers that fit that expression are perfect, while all even perfect numbers fit that form. For instance, in the case of , is prime, and is perfect. It is currently an open problem as to whether there are an infinite number of Mersenne primes and even perfect numbers. The frequency of Mersenne primes is the subject of the Lenstra–Pomerance–Wagstaff conjecture, which states that the expected number of Mersenne primes less than some given is , where is Euler's number, is Euler's constant, and is the natural logarithm. It is also not known if any odd perfect numbers exist; various conditions on possible odd perfect numbers have been proven, including a lower bound of . The following is a list of all currently known Mersenne primes and perfect numbers, along with their corresponding exponents . , there are 51 known Mersenne primes (and therefore perfect numbers), the largest 17 of which have been discovered by the distributed computing project Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search, or GIMPS. New Mersenne primes are found using the Lucas–Lehmer test (LLT), a primality test for Mersenne primes that is efficient for binary computers. The displayed ranks are among indices currently known ; while unlikely, ranks may change if smaller ones are discovered. According to GIMPS, all possibilities less than the 48th working exponent have been checked and verified . The discovery year and discoverer are of the Mersenne prime, since the perfect number immediately follows by the Euclid–Euler theorem. Discoverers denoted as "GIMPS / name" refer to GIMPS discoveries with hardware used by that person. Later entries are extremely long, so only the first and last six digits of each number are shown. Historically, the largest known prime number has often been a Mersenne prime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladys%20Kleinwort%20Bowles
Gladys Kleinwort Bowles (1917-2009) was a rural sociologist and professional demographer who spent 40 years working for the U.S. Federal Government focusing mostly on statistics of net migration of the U.S. population from 1950 to 1960 as well as 1960-1970. Gladys Bowles was born on her family farm on August 23, 1917 to parents Sherwin A. Kleinwort and Irma Lubiens Kleinwort in St. Ansgar, Iowa where she would also go on to attend high school. She would go on to Mason City to attend Hamilton Business School, graduating in 1938. Career After Hamilton Business School, Bowles would start her long career in the federal government as a clerk typist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While there she quickly found encouragement from rural sociologist, Margaret Jarman Hagood, who often went out of her way to help mentor young women at the USDA. Hagwood would go on to promote Bowles from a secretary to professional staffer, wherein Bowles would eventually find herself in charge of all farm and labor studies for the entire Department of Agriculture. Hagwood also encouraged Bowles to pursue graduate school at the University of Wisconsin where she ultimately got a degree in sociology and demography. Gladys Bowles would also continue on to further her graduate studies at the University of Maryland and the American University in Washington D.C. During her career at the USDA she constructed, researched and published many articles, papers and statistical databases on the net migration of the U.S. population from 1950 to 1960 as well as from 1960 to 1970. This project was a massive undertaking and was by and large her greatest achievement. The study documented the movement of the population by age, race and sex for every county and major division of all states. She also explored the poverty implications of migration from rural to urban spaces. Gladys Bowles received many accolades throughout her career. She also participated in and helped to run many professional demographic and sociology organizations. She served as vice president of the Population Association of America and president of the Southern Demographic Association. Bowles worked tirelessly in her field, continuing to work long after her retirement. After she left her decades long job with the USDA, Bowles moved to Athens, Georgia and spent her years in retirement there, establishing and running her own self-titled research facility, Bowles Demographic Research.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feuerbach%20hyperbola
In geometry, the Feuerbach hyperbola is a rectangular hyperbola passing through important triangle centers such as the Orthocenter, Gergonne point, Nagel point and Shiffler point. The center of the hyperbola is the Feuerbach point, the point of tangency of the incircle and the nine-point circle. Equation It has the trilinear equation (here are the angles at the respective vertices and is the barycentric coordinate). Properties Like other rectangular hyperbolas, the orthocenter of any three points on the curve lies on the hyperbola. So, the orthocenter of the triangle lies on the curve. The line is tangent to this hyperbola at . Isogonal conjugate of OI The hyperbola is the isogonal conjugate of , the line joining the circumcenter and the incenter. This fact leads to a few interesting properties. Specifically all the points lying on the line have their isogonal conjugates lying on the hyperbola. The Nagel point lies on the curve since its isogonal conjugate is the point of concurrency of the lines joining the vertices and the opposite Mixtilinear incircle touchpoints, also the in-similitude of the incircle and the circumcircle. Similarly, the Gergonne point lies on the curve since its isogonal conjugate is the ex-similitude of the incircle and the circumcircle. The pedal circle of any point on the hyperbola passes through the Feuerbach point, the center of the hyperbola. Kariya's theorem Given a triangle , let be the touchpoints of the incircle with the sides of the triangle opposite to vertices respectively. Let be points lying on the lines such that . Then, the lines are concurrent at a point lying on the Feuerbach hyperbola. The Kariya's theorem has a long history. It was proved independently by Auguste Boutin and V. Retali., but it became famous only after Kariya's paper. Around that time, many generalizations of this result were given. Kariya's theorem can be used for the construction of the Feuerbach hyperbola. Both Lemoine's theorem and Kariya's theorem are a special case of Jacobi's theorem.
