Happy birthday to #mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017)! The Fields Medal, one of the most prestigious #math awards, is awarded to mathematicians < 40. In 2014, she became 1st woman to win. Her research included Teichmüller theory, hyperbolic geometry, ergodic theory, & symplectic geometry, and Fields committee cited her work in “the dynamics and geometry of Riemann surfaces and their moduli spaces”.

Happy birthday #mathematician Henri Poincaré
(1854-1912), here in my Cubist #linocut portrait.This print is about how movements in art can be connected with contemporary #math & #physics. Specifically, the way Cubism breaks from a single favoured perspective or absolute frame of reference & breaks down subjects into geometrical shapes from multiple points of view can be tied to advancements in non-Euclidian geometry in math & 🧵

Happy birthday to British #engineer, #mathematician, #physicist & #inventor Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923). I’ve shown her in my #linocut with a diagram of the dividers from her 1st of 26 (!) patents, one of her diagrams about the origin & growth of ripple marks & one of her diagrams of an electric arc lamp (a subject on which she literally wrote the textbook).

Happy birthday to #mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925). This is a hand-carved and hand-printed image of the famous mathematical object, the Klein bottle, printed in a gradient of pale yellow-green to darker blue-green on paper 8” by 8” (20.3 cm by 20.3 cm). First described by mathematician Felix Klein in 1882, this object has a single surface, rather like a 3D version of a Möbius strip. It is what is called a 🧵

This is my #linocut portrait of Claude Shannon (1916-2001), #mathematician, electrical #engineer, computer scientist & cryptographer credited with laying the foundations for the Information Age. It shows him in front of binary numbers & with his electromechanical mouse Theseus & its maze. Though partially behind him, the binary numbers are the standard ASCII code for "CLAUDESHANNON".

Happy birthday to French mathematician, physicist and philosopher Marie-Sophie Germain (1776 – 1831), known as Sophie. She taught herself mathematics using books in her father’s library and by corresponding with leading mathematicians of her day, including Lagrange, Legendre and Gauss, initially using the pseudonym Monsieur LeBlanc. Her work on elasticity theory won her the grand prize from the Paris Academy of Sciences. 🧵

Happy birthday to Olga Ladyzhenskaya (1922-2004), a #mathematician who overcame personal tragedy, faced Soviet totalitarianism & the catastrophic political upheaval of the 20th century to make a huge impact on the math, making important contributions to study of partial differential equations (PDEs). She changed the way PDEs are examined & popularized the notion of weak solutions (which satisfy the equations but may not be differentiable).🧵

Happy birthday to Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) renown Flemish cartographer.
What made Mercator a great #cartographer, was in fact his abilities as a #mathematician -and like those of us scientists who feel compelled also to create art he was wasn’t hindered by his immense ability as an engraver. He produced beautiful world maps (a version of which is depicted in this print), 🧵1/

Alicia came to math honestly. Her father Prof George Boole developed Boolean logic, but died when she was 4. Her mother Mary Everest Boole was an autodidact mathematician & innovative math educator, who taught kids math 🧵

Happy birthday to #mathematician Johann Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet (13 February 1805 – 5 May 1859)! My lino block print illustrates the famous mathematical tool known as the pigeonhole principle, which states that if n items are put into m containers, with n > m, then at least one container must contain more than one item. You can imagine a bunch, call it m, pigeonholes and n pigeons, where n > m; 🧵

The pronunciation of the names of Greek letters by native English speakers seems to be a matter of taste 🙂
In Britain, ϕ is normally 'fye' and π is 'pie', but linguistically I suspect that 'fee' and 'pee' make more sense.
Also, why do Americans pronounce β and ζ as 'bayda' and 'zayda'?!
Also, also, I believe Germans tend to pronounce ζ (et al) with a short 'e' sound (which feels kind of sensible) - i.e. 'zetta'.
What we need is a proper Greek #mathematician to tell us all how say them! -
#BlackHistoryMonth is a great time to celebrate mathematician and NASA scientist Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; 1918 – 2020). One of the first Black women employed as a NASA scientist (and its predecessor NACA), she was known for her mastery of complex manual calculations of orbital mechanics and played a pivotal role in the success of the US crewed spaceflights from the beginning.🧵

Happy birthday to #mathematician David Hilbert (1862-1943)! This linocut print illustrates the paradox of Hilbert’s Grand Hotel, a thought experiment conceived by Hilbert in 1924 to show the paradox of infinite sets. If you imagine a regular hotel with a finite number of rooms, if they are all filled you can’t add more guests. In an imaginary infinite hotel however, guests are always welcome! Even if all the (conveniently numbered 1, 2, 3, ...) rooms are filled, 🧵

Hey Sunday #mathematicians. I could use some help with something.
You have some number of people, say 20. They each sort some number of possible discussion topics, say 40, into four categories: Love to discuss (score of 4) like to discuss (3), sure, why not (2), and no thanks (0). You want to set up discussion groups of four. How do you assign unique people to the topics they most want to discuss?
