Jean-Marie Souriau R.I.P.

By NTZung, on March 16th, 2012%

I just learned that the mathematician JM Souriau, one of the foundators of symplectic geometry, died two days ago.

There is a mathematical conference organized by my colleagues to celebrate his 90th birthday this year, and, sadly, now the conference will be without him. He was born on 03/June/1922.

Souriau is known for his . . . → Read More: Jean-Marie Souriau R.I.P.

The quality of J. Diff. Equations in doubt

By NTZung, on March 12th, 2012%

The Journal of Diff. Equations was considered as a good journal in the field of differential equations and dynamical systems, and was given the A* ranking (the highest ranking) by the Australian system. I even considered submitting a paper to that journal. But now I have serious doubts about their quality and the seriousness . . . → Read More: The quality of J. Diff. Equations in doubt

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. ”
