Arelcao Akleos said...: But only Second Class; 12/19/2008 4:11 PM
Mr roT said...: I know like 3 and I'm counting Levi-Civita as a collaboration.; 12/19/2008 4:36 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: So, counting Levi-Civita as a collaboration, you only know 3 of these, for example?

"Lévy, Paul
Van der Corput, J. G.
Watson, G. N.
Hille, Einar; Tamarkin, J. D.
Fubini, G.
Neumann, J. V.
Levi-Civita, T.
Khintchine, A.
Loewy, Alfred
Cartan, Henri
Mordell, L. J.; 12/19/2008 4:46 PM
Mr roT said...: I know Weitzenböck, R. Not sure that Watson is the Whittaker-Watson guy. Hille I suppose is the Hille from Hille-Phillips. Never eard of Loewy. Should I?

I think A. Hermann might be a famous one.

OK, I knew more than 2.; 12/19/2008 4:57 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Yeah, Watson and Hille are as you say. Should you have heard of Loewy? Well, dunno. Since he was a big gun in complex analysis in the classical era at the start of the last century I thought you may have.; 12/19/2008 5:24 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: none; 12/19/2008 5:39 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: ok does Fourier count ?; 12/19/2008 5:39 PM
Mr roT said...: I think you're mixing Loewy with Hans Lewy.; 12/19/2008 5:47 PM
Mr roT said...: Pepe, Fourier counts but he was as dead in '35 as he is now.; 12/19/2008 5:47 PM
Arelcao Akleos said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 12/19/2008 7:00 PM
Pepe le Pew said...: right but the question was how many names do you recognize.; 12/19/2008 10:25 PM
Tecumseh said...: Pepe -- you musta have heard at some point of John von Neumann, at least. This guy was a real friggin genius -- in his spare time, after doing all sorts of stuff on von Neumann algebras and hard-assed analysis (hint: type JJ's name, followed by Neumann, and see what google gives), he (co-) invented the computer. You know, that little gizmo you type on?; 12/19/2008 10:37 PM
Tecumseh said...: AA: pretty good. But you missed Reinhold Baer, as in the Baer group.; 12/19/2008 10:49 PM
Mr roT said...: Hah AI! Googling me and Neumann highlights the wrong Neumann! Go back to Columbia!; 12/20/2008 12:53 AM
Mr roT said...: AI, I was thinking about Baer but then got mixed up with Pepe's constantly saying his girlfriends are hung like bears.
Damn.; 12/20/2008 12:54 AM
Tecumseh said...: JJ: You're full of doodoo -- have you forgotten your own name? Try again, as in, first name, last name, Neumann (with no quotes). Gee, do I have to teach you how to google?; 12/20/2008 8:22 AM
