Argentine Mathematical Union
The Argentine Mathematical Union (Spanish: , UMA) is a mathematical society founded in 1936. The UMA is based in Santa Fe, Argentina, and is a member of the . It is recognised by the International Mathematical Union. History The first mathematical society in Argentina was the , which was founded in 1924, and whose president was Juan Blaquier. The society published a journal called , and was disbanded in 1927. The Argentine Mathematical Union was founded on 28 September 1936 in a ceremony held at the University of Buenos Aires; its headquarters were initially at Perú 255, Buenos Aires. In its early years the driving force in the UMA was Julio Rey Pastor, who was later described by Luis Santaló as talented at creation and promotion, but inconsistent at execution. For example, the first edition of the Journal of the UMA was issued by a different publishing house than had been agreed at its founding, and listed the founders incorrectly on its front cover. In its early years the U ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Laurent Schwartz
Laurent-Moïse Schwartz (; 5 March 1915 – 4 July 2002) was a French mathematician. He pioneered the theory of Distribution (mathematics), distributions, which gives a well-defined meaning to objects such as the Dirac delta function. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1950 for his work on the theory of distributions. For several years he taught at the École polytechnique. Biography Family Laurent Schwartz came from a Jewish family of Alsace, Alsatian origin, with a strong scientific background: his father was a well-known surgeon, his uncle Robert Debré (who contributed to the creation of UNICEF) was a famous Pediatrics, pediatrician, and his great-uncle-in-law, Jacques Hadamard, was a famous mathematician. During his training at Lycée Louis-le-Grand to enter the École Normale Supérieure, he fell in love with Marie-Hélène Schwartz, Marie-Hélène Lévy, daughter of the probabilist Paul Lévy (mathematician), Paul Lévy who was then teaching at the École polytechniqu ...

Scientific Organizations Established In 1936
Science is a systematic discipline that builds and organises knowledge in the form of testable hypotheses and predictions about the universe. Modern science is typically divided into twoor threemajor branches: the natural sciences, which study the physical world, and the social sciences, which study individuals and societies. While referred to as the formal sciences, the study of logic, mathematics, and theoretical computer science are typically regarded as separate because they rely on deductive reasoning instead of the scientific method as their main methodology. Meanwhile, applied sciences are disciplines that use scientific knowledge for practical purposes, such as engineering and medicine. The history of science spans the majority of the historical record, with the earliest identifiable predecessors to modern science dating to the Bronze Age in Egypt and Mesopotamia (). Their contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and medicine entered and shaped the Greek natural philo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematical Societies
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of abstract objects that consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

National University Of Córdoba
The National University of Córdoba (), is a public university located in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. Founded in 1613, the university is the oldest in Argentina, the third oldest university of the Americas, with the first university being the National University of San Marcos (Peru, 1551) and the second one, Saint Thomas Aquinas University (Colombia, 1580). Since the early 20th century it has been the second largest university in the country (after the University of Buenos Aires) in terms of the number of students, faculty, and academic programs. As the location of the first university founded in the land that is now Argentina, Córdoba has earned the nickname ''La Docta'' (roughly translated, "The Wise"). The National University of Córdoba is financially supported by Argentinian taxpayers, but - like all Argentine national universities - it is autonomous. This means it has the autonomy to manage its own budgets, elect its own administration, and dictate its own regulati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
José Babini
José Babini (10 May 1897, Buenos Aires – 18 May 1984, Buenos Aires) was an Argentine mathematician, engineer, and historian of mathematics and mathematical sciences. Babini worked for a construction company, where the owners recognized his mathematical talent and made it possible for him to pursue academic study. From 1918 he studied in Buenos Aires. In 1921 he graduated with a qualification to teach natural science and mathematics. In 1922 he received his degree as a civil engineer. Already in 1917 he contacted the well-known Spanish mathematician Julio Rey Pastor. Instead of working as a civil engineer, Babini taught mathematics at the Faculty for Industrial Chemistry of the ''Universidad Nacional del Litoral'' in Rosario. There he introduced new methods of numerical analysis and was considered a leading Argentine expert in this field. He then taught at the Faculty of Sciences of Education (''Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación'') in Paraná, Entre RÃos and at the ''Coleg ...
