Lisl Gaal
(Ilse) Lisl Novak Gaal (January 17, 1924 – 2024) was an Austrian-born American mathematician known for her contributions to set theory and Galois theory. She was the first woman to hold a tenure-track position in mathematics at Cornell University, and was an associate professor emeritus at the University of Minnesota. Gaal died in 2024, at the age of 100. Contributions Gaal's dissertation work was in the foundations of mathematics. It proved that two different systems for set theory that had previously been proposed as foundational were equiconsistent: either both are valid or both lead to contradictions. These two systems were Zermelo set theory and Von Neumann set theory. They differed from each other in that von Neumann had added to Zermelo's theory a notion of classes, collections of mathematical objects that are defined by some property but do not necessarily form a set. (Often, intuitively, proper classes are "too big" to form sets; for instance, the collection of all sets ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sándor Gaál
Gaál Sándor (born 8 October 1885 in Gogánváralja, Hungary, died 28 July 1972) was a Hungarian accelerator physicist and an alleged co-inventor of the cyclotron. Most credible international sources give the credit of the invention of the cyclotron to American physicist and Nobel Laureate Ernest Orlando Lawrence, who invented the cyclotron during the spring of 1929 and built the first operational cyclotron in 1930 while at the University of California, Berkeley. In November 1939, Ernest O. Lawrence was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the cyclotron and its applications. In his main work, "Fizica teoretica" (Bucuresti, 1957, vol. I, p. 270) Teofil Vescan, professor of Bolyai University in Kolozsvár (Cluj) revealed that Gaál Sándor may have described the cyclotron's working at about the same time as Ernest O. Lawrence during the spring of 1929. In 1929 Gaál allegedly sent a study, with the title ''Die Kaskadenröhre. Ein Beitrag zum Problem der Atomker ...

Gál) was a Hungarian- American mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota—Minneapolis. Education Gaal received his Ph.D. under Frigyes Riesz and Lipót Fejér in 1947, although at the time, graduate study in Hungary did not exist in the formal way it is thought of today. There were no formalities of preliminary exams or qualifying exams, no thesis advisor or tuition. After World War I, Hungary was dismembered and the Austro-Hungarian monarchy ended. Two thirds of Hungary's territory was given to other states, some existing, others created and since vanished. Under these conditions, only few higher education faculty could be appointed and students had to learn only from books or one or two old sick professors. Nevertheless, doctoral students managed to create publishable theses. Gaal's thesis problem had its origin in a letter Paul Erdő ...
