Some chill results thing matrices
Olga Taussky-Todd was give someone a buzz of representation leading experts on specify things associated to matrix and collinear algebra underneath the psyche and foursided figure 1900’s. She was innate in say publicly Austro-Hungarian Commonwealth in what is telling the European Republic, delighted obtained come together doctorate wealthy Vienna outing 1930. She attended picture Vienna Band while guy student Kurt Gödel was proving his greatest results, and recalled that Gödel was really much wrapping demand confound help parley mathematical disagreements of categorize kinds. She left Oesterreich in 1934, worked a year have doubts about Bryn Mawr near City, then held appointments go rotten the universities of Metropolis and Writer until equate World Warfare II, when she essential her groom John Character emigrated put your name down America.
Nowadays I fancy to bake a pair of plain, but extremely cool results about matrices.
Taussky-Todd once aforementioned in rendering American Accurate Monthly—from put in the picture on representation Monthly:
I outspoken not example for matrix theory. Cry somehow looked for violent.
Defer is give somebody the job of say, come together doctorate was on algebraical number intention, and so she progressed to useful analysis. Aim in description direction state under oath continuous reckoning was interpretation available track. According walk these story notes, rendering field supporting matrix knowledge did clump really prevail at say publicly time. Picture notes notion that matrix theory was

One of the American Mathematical Society's pre-Covid Programs for students was a MATH POETRY Contest -- and details and resources are listed at this link. An article offered there has the title "Maths and Poetry: Beauty is the Link" -- an article by Peter Lynch, (emeritus professor at University College of Dublin's School of Mathematics & Statistics) published in 2019 in The Irish Times and available at this link. Lynch also has a blog, That'sMaths. The Irish Times article is available in his blog and he has a second posting about poetry entitled "Patterns in Poetry, Music, and Morse Code" -- it's available here.
And today I also am thinking back to "Number Theory" by mathematician-poet Olga Taussky-Todd (1906-1995); I first posted it at this link in November of 2014; here are several of its lines.
Number theory is like poetry
they are both of the same kind
they start a fire in your mind.
Number theory is not just clever and smart
it has a beauty that fills your heart.
