Mathematical analysts | People associated with the finite element method
Richard Courant (January 8, 1888 – January 27, 1972) was a German American mathematician. He is best known by the general public for the book What is Mathematics?, co-written with Herbert Robbins. His research focused on the areas of real analysis, mathematical physics, the calculus of variations and partial differential equations. He wrote textbooks widely used by generations of students of physics and mathematics. He is also known for founding the institute now bearing his name. (Wikipedia).

France Since 1871 (HIST 276) Charles de Gaulle's importance in postwar French political life was matched by his importance in the nation's collective imagination. This authority was consciously contrived by de Gaulle, who wished to bear upon his figurative body the will of the French pe

Roman Srzednicki (6/25/17) Bedlewo: On a problem of Whitney and the retract theorem of Ważewski
In their classic book “What is Mathematics?” Richard Courant and Herbert Robbins presented a solution of Whitney’s problem of an inverted pendulum on a railway carriage. Since the appearance of the book in 1941, the solution was contested by several mathematicians, including distinguished

How do you prove tomorrow is future ? | Arrow of Time
What direction does time flow? This may seem like a strange question, yet it is one that has puzzled Philosophers throughout the ages. If you watch a movie of a Newtonian system evolving, you would not normally notice if it plays in reverse or not. This makes it hard to know the direction
