  Eilenberg biography
Eilenberg was awarded his MA from the University of Warsaw in 1934.
Eilenberg was only an instructor for one year, then in 1941 he was promoted at assistant professor at the University of Michigan.
In 1948 Eilenberg, in a joint paper with Chevalley, gave an algebraic approach to the cohomology of Lie groups, using the Lie algebra as a basic object.

Eilenberg showed that the homotopy classes were in 1-1 correspondence with the elements of a one-dimensional homology group H}{\f4\super 1}{\f4 (K, I) about which we do not need to know anything.
Even in Eilenberg & Steenrod's pioneering work in the foundations of algebraic topo logy, apart from the description of a homology theory as a family of functors connected by natural transformations, there is no categorical concept at work or which can be said to capture essential ingredients of the situation.
Eilenberg & Mac Lane\rquote s approach implies that the concept of commutator subgroup is basic to group theory whereas the concept of center of a group is not basic, or at least not as basic as the concept of commutator, though certainly useful and important in certain cases.

 Mathematician Samuel Eilenberg, 84. Columbia University Record, February 20, 1998
amuel Eilenberg of Columbia, one of the world’s leading mathematicians and a legendary collector of South Asian art, died Jan. 30 in the Isabella Geriatric Center in New York City.
Eilenberg was University Professor Emeritus at Columbia, where he had taught for more than 35 years.
Eilenberg became interested in art collecting on a trip to Bombay in the mid-1950s and pursued Asian art partly to relieve his mind of the rigors of math, Polsky said.

 Eilenberg
World War II was by this time dominating the international scene so the number of participants at the conference from outside the United States was much less that one would have otherwise expected.
Weil was working at the University of Chicago and he contacted Eilenberg to ask him to collaborate on writing about homotopy groups and fibre spaces as part of the Bourbaki project.
Eilenberg became a member of the Bourbaki team spending 1950-51 as a visiting professor in Paris and participating in the two week summer meetings until 1966.

 Magic Theatre's Eilenberg to quit after this season
Developed by Eilenberg in collaboration with David Dower of Z Space Studio, it's a three-year project to commission and develop 15 plays in cooperation with other theaters that would hold the rights to premiere the works.
Eilenberg became its third artistic director in 1992, when the theater was in deep financial trouble, and left a year and a half later for personal reasons.
Eilenberg, who is also a professor of theater arts at San Francisco State University, said he had several book ideas he wanted to develop as well as plans for more international theater projects.

 NORMAN STEENROD
Together with Samuel Eilenberg, he axiomatized homology theory and established the modern framework of algebraic topology, a subject invented by Poincaré.
Eilenberg and Steenrod set down seven axioms and showed that all homology theories that satisfied them gave the same results, at least for compact spaces.
Eilenberg and Steenrod probably included it because it was a property shared by all the homology theories then known.

 Samuel Eilenberg, September 30, 1913—January 30, 1998 | By Hyman Bass, Henri Cartan, Peter Freyd, Alex Heller, and ...
Of course, Eilenberg was not unknown to me, because since the end of the war I had begun to be interested in algebraic topology.
It is therefore very natural that Eilenberg was invited to the Congress that Bourbaki held in October 1950.
This latest innovation brought its authors into conflict with the "establishment" by putting in question the very notion of definition, raising a fundamental question of the relation between category theory and set theory that has yet to be put definitively to rest.

Professor Eilenberg retired in 1982 as a university professor, the highest professorial rank, from Columbia University, where he had taught since 1947.
Professor Eilenberg received Guggenheim and Fulbright fellowships and was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and other professional groups.
Eilenberg became universally known as ``Professor'' in the art world; indeed, if one walked with him in London or Zurich or even Philadelphia and one heard ``Professor!'' it was always Eilenberg who was being hailed and it was always the art world hailing him.

Eilenberg worked in New Jersey until World War II intervened, when he joined the CBS network in New York.
Eilenberg agreed and moved to San Antonio to establish Alamo Electronics (as you might guess, Alamo is a pretty common name in those parts).
Eilenberg recalls that one salesman had his own airplane and used to regularly fly south of the border to sell Alamo amps.

 Positive varieties and infinite words
The key idea of the variety theory (Eilenberg 1976) is to classify recognizable languages according to the algebraic properties of their syntactic semigroup.
Eilenberg's theorem states that varieties of semigroups are in one to one correspondence with certain classes of recognizable languages, the varieties of languages.
The resulting extension of Eilenberg's variety theory permits to treat classes of languages that are closed under union and intersection, but not necessarily under complement, a major difference with the original theory.

 Category Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Eilenberg and Mac Lane (1945) introduced categories in a purely auxiliary fashion, only as a formal ground for what they called functors and natural transformations, recognizing from the outset that categories are wholly dispensable in practice.
Eilenberg and Mac Lane at first gave a purely abstract definition of a category, along the lines of the axiomatic definition of a group.
Definition (Eilenberg and MacLane 1945): A category C is an aggregate Ob of abstract elements, called the objects of C, and abstract elements Map, called mappings of the category.

Algebraic topology, sometimes called 'combinatorial' topology, is based on homology theory - the study of closed curves, closed surfaces, and similar geometric arrangements in a given topological space.
Much of Eilenberg's work was concerned with a modification of homology theory called cohomology theory.
It is possible to define a 'product' of cohomology classes by means of which, together with the addition of cohomology classes, the direct sum of the cohomology classes of all dimensions becomes a ring (the cohomology ring).

The new superintendent recognized that if his administration was going to have a fruitful relationship with the city, he had to sit down with the mayor and discuss the problem.
Eilenberg referred more than once to the air-conditioned offices and movie theatre in the fort, nudging Jackson into defending the multi-use rooms in the supposedly authentic 1777 fort.
As described in a 14 October 1981 article in the Sentinel, Eilenberg also directly tied the tourism expectations for Fort Stanwix to the urban renewal enthusiasm of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Eilenberg's lush retelling of the great fairy tale, set in the nineteenth century, pulls out all the stops with a long, lyrical text and beautiful watercolor pictures that depict both the luxury and the anguish of the story.
Barrett's illustrations express the contrasts of the story, from the family scenes of the terrible sisters to the view of the brave young hero who goes on a journey to save her miserable dad.
Max Eilenberg's retelling of the classic tale is dark and emotional and very moving, and Angela Barrett's illustrations are nothing short of breathtaking.

 Introduction to CSXMS Models
This model was developed originally by the American mathematician Samuel Eilenberg, and although he referred to it as the X-machine model, it has now been suggested that they should be known instead as Eilenberg Machines in his honour, and this name is gradually being adopted.
In doing this, the assumption is that each individual process will be modelled in terms of a single Eilenberg machine (usually a stream X-machine, but for some purposes it is convenient to relax some of the stream restrictions), so that by adding a suitable model of the communication mechanism a complete system can be represented.
In practice, though, the construction of the state space for such an equivalent stream X-machine is such that the number of states explodes combinatorially, and hence so to would the complexity of the testing process.

When this book was written, methods of algebraic topology had caused revolutions in the world of pure algebra.
To clarify the advances that had been made, Cartan and Eilenberg tried to unify the fields and to construct the framework of a fully fledged theory.
The invasion of algebra had occurred on three fronts through the construction of cohomology theories for groups, Lie algebras, and associative algebras.

Eilenberg's subject is the relationship between tropes of literary property and signification in the writings and literary politics of Wordsworth and Coleridge.
She argues that a complex of ideas about property, propriety, and possession informs the images of literary authority, textual identity, and poetic figuration found in the two writers' major work.
The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.

A discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg as a particular case of the contraction principle
We show that a discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg is equivalent to the restriction of the contraction principle to the class of non-Archimedean bounded metric spaces.
We also give a simple extension of Eilenberg's theorem which yields the contraction principle.
