Mathematics, Biology, and Physics: Interactions and Interdependence
Michael C. Mackey and Moisés Santillán
The authors review some of the historical relation between physics,
mathematics, and the biological sciences and consider the future role of this
interaction.
Teaching Mathematics Graduate Students How to Teach
Solomon Friedberg
The author reports on some experiences in teaching mathematics graduate
students how to teach, in particular by using a case study method.
Manifolds with Density
Frank Morgan
The subject is Riemannian manifolds whose volume and area elements are
weighted by a density function; an example is Euclidean space weighted by the Gaussian
probability density function, which is known as Gauss space and used in the
study of Brownian motion. The author considers the generalization to these
manifolds of volume estimates and isoperimetric inequalities.
