Hey, it's my birthday today. But please don't feel embarrassed that you didn't get me anything, all I want for my birthday is for you to enjoy today's new episode of #themathematicianspod. This time, Pingala, and a 10 minute beat poem... Please forgive me. #mathsky #mathshistory #poetry

There is a picture of George Green, the mathematician from Nottingham, doing the rounds on the internet. Alas, this is not the right George Green. Details:

von Neumann’s letter has it all: a discussion of the theory of spectra of Hermitian operators, inquiries about spin-geometries and not least of all, gossip. Lots of gossips. 🔗 https://www.cantorsparadise.com/john-von-neumanns-1935-letter-to-oswald-veblen-3acbe1b69098

Interesting for me to learn (via http://mia.ele-math.com/01-05/Why-Holder-s-inequality-should-be-called-Rogers-inequality):
"Hölder's inequality" was first proven in 1888 by L.J. Rogers.
In Hölder's paper of 1889, he includes this result, accurately attributing it to Rogers.
By luck of early citations (including from some big names of the time), the result is now known near-universally as "Hölder's inequality".
The author of this article subsequently advocates for using "Rogers-Hölder Inequality" going forward.

Karl Arthur Umlauf (1866-1945), a student of Friedrich Engel and Sophus Lie in Leipzig, was the first who approached the classification of the "groups of rank zero", in his thesis (1891). These are called nilpotent Lie algebras nowadays, and their classification is still an open problem.
