An Invisible Minority: Asian Americans in Mathematics

Sharad Goel

The author reports on demographic data for Asian Americans in mathematics, and discusses recommendations for affirmative actions, including the impact of such actions on Asian Americans, on other ethnic groups, and on the educational environment in institutions of higher education.

Notes on the Deuring-Heilbronn Phenomenon

Jeffrey Stopple

L-functions are generalizations of Riemann's zeta function. The Generalized Riemann Hypothesis asserts that these also have zeros only on the vertical line through 1/2. The Deuring-Heilbronn phenomenon explores how a counterexample affects zeros of other L-functions. The author sketches a proof and considers the implications.
