*Caríssimos, mais uma atividade do LoLITA, desta vez um filme sobre a vida e obra do Prof. Paul Halmos.
Atenciosamente, Regivan ----------------------------- I want to be a Mathematician. A conversation with Paul Halmos.* Local: *Sala de reuniões do DIMAp**Dia: 25-Set-09* Horário: *09:00hs* * ** **Resumo:* Paul Halmos' book *I Want to Be a Mathematician—An Automathography* (MAA, 1985) mixed biographical material and mathematics with a historical view of the development of U.S. mathematical research from the 1930s to the l980s. Readable, enjoyable, straightforward, detailed, and opinionated, it offered first-hand insight into how Paul Halmos<http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/%7Ehistory/Biographies/Halmos.html>approached research, his career, and his life. Halmos' legacy is not merely mathematics but also advice and opinion about writing, publishing, speaking, research, and thinking about mathematics. Exploring these topics with a mixture of conviction and humility, his work influenced the professional lives of many mathematicians in the latter half of the twentieth century. Halmos died in 2006 at the age of 90. In George Csicsery's 44-minute film *I Want to Be a Mathematician: A Conversation with Paul Halmos* (2009), which the MAA produced, Halmos comes alive again as a master mathematician. Interviewed by former MAA Director of Publications Peter Renz in 1999, Halmos reveals his ideas on mathematics; how to teach it; and how to write about it. Mathematicians Robert Bekes, David Eisenbud, Jean Pedersen, and Donald Sarason reveal their sentiments about Halmos. * Esse filme será exibido com uma cortesia do Prof. cortesia do Prof. *Ruy de Queiroz*, CIn-UFPE. * * -- ****************************************************************************** Prof. Dr. Regivan Hugo Nunes Santiago Group of Logic, Language, Information, Theory and Applications - LoLITA Department of Informatics and Applied Mathematics - DIMAp Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN Campus Universitario, Lagoa Nova, 59.072-970, Natal, RN, Brasil Phone: +55 84 3215-3814 Ext. 228 Fax: +55 84 3215-3813 http://www.dimap.ufrn.br/~regivan e-mail: regivan AT DOMAIN=dimap,ufrn,br. ******************************************************************************
