Example of knot complement edit

 
Figure eight knot complement
by François Guéritaud, Saul Schleimer, and Henry Segerman

Maybe doing three examples make sense: the complement of the unknot is a good one because it is simple to describe in words. A picture of the complement of the figure eight knot makes sense for a more general example of a knot complement in the three-sphere. A third useful example would be the complement of a knot in a manifold other than the three-sphere. I'm not sure what such a good example would be.

You could do the following: Let K_1 and K_2 be components of a link L in the three-sphere. Let M be the complement of the knot K_1. Then K_2 is also a knot in M, and the complement of K_2 in M is the same as the complement of the link L in the three-sphere.

But this is a bit of an artificial example. A better example would be one in which the ambient manifold for the knot is not itself a knot complement. But then describing the example gets harder.

Above would be a new section on the Knot complement page

Median (geometry) edit

Three congruent triangles edit

In 2014 [Lee Sallows]] discovered the following theorem:[1]

The medians of any triangle dissect it into six equal area smaller triangles as in the figure above where three adjacent pairs of triangles meet at the midpoints D, E and F. If the two triangles in each such pair are rotated about their common midpoint until they meet so as to share a common side, then the three new triangles formed by the union of each pair are congruent.

The page would simply redirect you to Category:American women mathematicians

This would solve a few problems I think and avoid a lot of duplication. As it stands, there is no completeness or consistency.

quotes

“In Assembling Flann O'Brien, Maebh Long has set out on a difficult task: to assemble the unassemblable. It is to her credit that the book succeeds at its task ... [Her] dexterity as a critic is impressive.” – Modern Language Review

“Maebh Long's assembling of high theory and archival material within specific cultural contexts makes for a compelling read. Her bilingual analysis of An Béal Bocht /The Poor Mouth is astute, and her fluid reading of O'Brien's later novels is a valuable contribution to existing Flanneur scholarship.” – Keith Hopper, St Mary's University College, Twickenham (author of Flann O'Brien: A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Post-modernist)

“This is a fine, thought-provoking study, offering nuanced, lucid, witty and philosophically rich readings of the Flann O'Brien oeuvre in all its uniquely unassemblable strangeness. Maebh Long's Assembling Flann O'Brienpromises to be an engaging and valuable work for students and scholars alike.” – Nicholas Royle, Professor of English, University of Sussex, UK

“Hugely erudite yet wonderfully alive to the entertainingly ludic qualities of its subject, Maebh Long's witty and engaging account is the first book-length study of Flann O'Brien that manages to do full justice to the 'singularity' of the work of this most learned, daring and brilliantly slippery writer. The book is a tour de force that brings to its task of explication, appreciation and critique, a wealth of scholarship, theoretical understanding and critical dexterity.” – Patricia Waugh, Professor of English at Durham University, UK.,

“Flann O'Brien was one of the many pseudonyms of the prolific Brian O'Nolan (1911-66). In this superlative scholarly study, Long (Univ. of the South Pacific, Fiji Islands) offers what is surely the best analysis presently available of Ireland's most significant postmodernist writer. In five chapters, arranged topically across several genres, readers will gain rich insight into O'Nolan's mindset. But Long does more, providing a vibrant intellectual construct for reading O'Nolan's work by way of Derrida, Agamben, Freud, Lucan, and Zizek. Copious in its analysis, substantial in its notes and bibliography, Long's study makes a major contribution to Irish studies. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty.” – R. R. Joly, Asbury University

ICM speakers edit

RE: List of International Congresses of Mathematicians Plenary and Invited Speakers

From 1970s on there were 3 categories: plenaries (< 20), invited (200 ish) and short communications (600+)
The 1st and 2nd categories are combined in the ICM Invited Speakers WP
Some day... they should be separated!

The current list of Plenary and Invited Speakers presented here is based on the ICM's post-WW II terminology, in which the one-hour speakers in the morning sessions are called "Plenary Speakers" and the other speakers (in the afternoon sessions) whose talks are included in the ICM published proceedings are called "Invited Speakers". In the pre-WW II congresses the Plenary Speakers were called "Invited Speakers".

Updates needed to existing articles edit

William Rowan Hamilton edit

Everyone knows that Irish mathematician (and physicist-in-all-but-name) William Rowan Hamilton discovered quaternions—in the city where he spent his entire career as an academic at Trinity College Dublin—thus injecting non commutativity into algebra decades before matrix multiplication was conceived. There is an annual star-studded Hamilton walk each 16th October commemorating the event. Hamilton was professor of astronomy at TCD (starting before hegraduated) and was also Royal Astronomer of Ireland. Hamilton was also the first foreign member of US Academy of Sciences. Few people—even in Ireland—know that within two months of Hamilton’s October 1843 breakthrough, John Graves, another Irish mathematician and TCD graduate who mostly worked as a jurist in England, had extended quaternions to octonions (Cayley got the credit for a long time). Quaternions—an apparently abstract and useless construction—turned out to have applications to mechanics, computer graphics, and quantum physics. Octonions are in the news these days because of their possible use in physics.[1]

magic squares edit

  • magic square:   It was discovered in 1997 that every parallelogram in the complex plane defines a unique 3 × 3 magic square, and vice versa.[2]* Magic square: Proposed sentences following the very first sentence of the Magic Square article. Here is the current opening sentence:
In recreational mathematics, a magic square is an arrangement of numbers (usually integers) in a square grid, where the numbers in each row, and in each column, and the numbers in the forward and backward main diagonals, all add up to the same number.
And here follow the two new sentences:
Since 2001, it has become recognized that such numerical squares are better seen as special instances of a more general structure known as a geometric magic square. The point is of little significance within the field of numerical squares, but of critical importance more generally, since the 'magical' properties of geometric magic squares far outweigh those of numerical types.[3]
The current second sentence would then become the first of a new paragraph.

McNally plays edit

LINK Waiting for the revolution that she feels certain is near at hand, Cuba, a supporter of Fidel Castro, has set up camp in New York's Central Park. Having become something of a tourist attraction, she is interviewed by a reporter from the New York Times who shudders apprehensively as Cuba shoots down the series of "spies" who approach her bastion, and harangues a watching crowd through a bullhorn. Inevitably the interview becomes a confrontation between her left-wing views and his right-wing reactions, with the end result an uneasy standoff. As he leaves the reporter remarks that she has given him no real story to file, as a story you must have a beginning, a middle, and an end. "But I have indeed given you a beginning," replies Cuba, "and I may yet give you a middle and perhaps," she adds ominously, "an end as well." (1 man, 3 women.) BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME. While brother and sister bicker meanly about pot-smoking and illicit pregnancies at their high school, father makes leering phone calls to strangers, and mother blots it all out with a portable hair dryer. Then the coffin with the body of their eldest son, Jimmy, who died in Vietnam, is delivered followed by a television crew to film a human interest feature on the family's grief. Reacting on cue they make much of their loss and the noble sacrifice this embodies, but with a glib superficiality that is both saddening and shocking. Their attention soon shifts to more immediate concerns, however, and Jimmy rises up in his coffin to address the audience. He knows now that the reason he wishes he were still alive is so he can figure out why he is dead and so, perhaps should we all. (3 men, 3 women, plus 4 nonspeaking rolesfor men.) LAST GASPS. First presented on New York's channel 13 (Educational Television) as part of FOUL!, a special program on pollution and conservation, this imaginative short play offers an affecting, but also chilling, observation on the awful fate that mankind will face unless he curbs the misuse of his environment. Moving quickly from one vignette to another, the play presents a cross section of individuals, all quite different and yet all facing the same inexorable horror that terrible moment when breathable air is exhausted and human life no longer possible. (6 men, 6 women.)"
