	Gian-Carlo Rota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gian-Carlo Rota (April 27, 1932 – April 18, 1999, known as Juan Carlos Rota to Spanish speakers) was an Italian-born American mathematician and philosopher.
		At that time his family fled Italy because his father, Giovanni Rota, was likely to be an object of fascist persecution.
		The Forbidden City of Gian-Carlo Rota (a memorial site) This page at www.rota.org was not originally intended to be a memorial web site, but was created by Rota himself with the assistance of his friend Bill Chen in January 1999 while Rota was visiting Los Alamos National Laboratory.

	Read This: Indiscrete Thoughts
		It is 260 pages of Rota calling it like he sees it, sandwiched in between two forwards, an introduction by the author himself, and an epilogue by the editor.
		Rota's portrayals of Ulam's relationship with John von Neumann (first as von Neumann's assistant at the Institute for Advanced Studies and then as his assistant in the Manhattan Project) and his competition with Edward Teller to design the hydrogren bomb (Ulam won) are particularly revealing.
		Rota's collection of essays covers many distinct topics, but perhaps there is one important overall lesson that we can learn from his book: As mathematicians we must begin to understand more deeply what we do and learn to communicate that understanding to the world at large.

	Gian-Carlo Rota
		Rota was born in Vigevano, Italy, on April 27, 1932.
		Rota followed up the "Foundations I" paper with over 80 further papers in combinatorics (to say nothing of papers, essays, and reviews in many other areas of mathematics and in philosophy) that established him as the founding father and leading guru of the new subject of algebraic combinatorics.
		Rota developed Advances in Mathematics virtually single-handedly into one of the leading journals of research mathematics, and he was the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Mathematics, a book series that contains definitive expositions of a wide range of mathematical topics.

		After holding positions at the Courant Institute and at Harvard, in 1959 Rota joined the faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he remained for the rest of his life, except for a two-year stint as a professor at Rockefeller University in 1965-1967.
		The readers of NA Digest may be interested to know that Rota, through his connection with the Los Alamos laboratory, was also keenly interested in numerical analysis and scientific computing, and a strong advocate and supporter of research in these areas at the lab.
		Rota was a man of high standard and strong opinions, which occasionally led him to peaks of devastating abrasiveness, as exemplified for instance in some of his aphorisms and book reviews.

	Review of Gian-Carlo Rota's book, Indiscrete Thoughts
		Rota's advice follows from his philosophy of phenomenology, which in turn determines the mathematicians he praises, namely, those who were more than mere technicians.
		Rota's history fits the proverb "Faithful are the wounds of a friend." Eulogizing Ulam, for example, Rota cites his broad mathematical contributions, ranging from logic to physics, but he earns the wrath of Ulam's wife by pointing out Ulam's personal foibles.
		According to Rota, middle-European Victorian culture confused meaning with precision and as a result promoted an embarrassing idea of progress, no less in mathematics than in the culture at large.

		A number of the protagonists in the book are the famous math professors Rota encountered when he was an undergraduate in Princeton in the early fifties; that was also the period of another illustrious mathematician, John Nash [later to become a Nobel Laureate, and the subject of a bestseller, and a movie; `A Beautiful Mind'].
		Rota paints his subjects with a mix of colors: humor, respect, love, insight in the human soul, wisdom, and personal reflection.
		Rota believes the mythification of science and scientists is responsible for many of the flaws in education and science in general.

		The interrelationships of algebraic combinatorics with other branches of mathematics, as well as other disciplines, have seen an increase of interest, as it is also confirmed by the recent tradition of our yearly meetings.
		This conference will be devoted to the memory of Gian-Carlo Rota, untimely dead in April 1999.
		He has been the opening invited speaker in the first edition of our meetings so it is only too natural to celebrate his leading figure by inviting a selection of very qualified speakers close to him.

		Gian-Carlo Rota was one of those rare mathematicians who made major contributions to several areas of mathematics.
		Presented in the first part of this volume are reprints of his papers in analysis, which were written at the beginning of his career.
		As is customary with Rota's writings, the papers included in the volume – some published here for the first time – contain many fresh and unexpected ideas for further research.

	In Memory of Gian-Carlo Rota
		I suppose he was trying to prove my hypothesis, since he was always fond of doing proof, as a mathematician for nearly four decades.
		I would add one tale from my time at MIT (took a PhD in analysis under Gian-Carlo's guidance, back in 1964.) One day there was a cola or some such soft drink on the teacher's desk when Rota came to class.
		He enjoyed it as usual, and wanted to thank the provider at the end of class, so he asked who brought it in.
