Remembering Paul Cohen

By Peter Sarnak

 

 

Paul Joseph Cohen, one of the stars of 20th century mathematics, passed away in March, 2007 at the age of 72. Blessed with a unique mathematical gift for solving difficult and central problems, he made fundamental breakthroughs in a number of fields, the most spectacular being his resolution of Hilbert's first problem ‹ the continuum hypothesis.

MAA on the Road: At the AMATYC Annual Meeting in Minneapolis

By Michael Pearson and Candace Baumann

The American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) held its 33rd Annual Meeting in Minneapolis on Nov. 1-4, 2007. The meeting had originally been scheduled for New Orleans, but the facility that was to host the meeting was permanently closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. So AMATYC made the decision to move to the other end of the Mississippi River and hold "New Orleans in Minneapolis 2007."

Official Unveiling: MAA's Commemorative River of Bricks

On Nov. 1, 2007, these pathways took on additional significance with the official unveiling of the Paul R. Halmos Commemorative Walk.
