A Celebration of Women in Mathematics
Susan Friedlander
Eight top mathematicians, all women, spoke at a special conference held in March 1994 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This article contains short summaries of the mathematics presented in their talks.
Remembering Lipman Bers
William Abikoff, Carol Corillon, Jane Gilman, Irwin Kra, and Tilla Weinstein
This article reflects on the life and work of Lipman Bers--the man, the mathematician, the political activist. With contributions by the authors above, the article provides a fitting tribute to a man who had a profound impact on the field of mathematics and the people who inhabit it.
Symmetry and Tilings
Charles Radin
Certain tilings, called hierarchical tilings, exhibit a special kind of symmetry quite unlike the traditional symmetries. Delving into the mathematical properties of these tilings, Radin also discusses their connections to logic and condensed matter physics.
