Ernst Kummer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kummer made several contributions to mathematics in different areas; he codified some of the relations between different hypergeometric series (contiguity relations). The Kummer surface results from taking the quotient of a two-dimensional abelian variety by the cyclic group {1, −1} (an early orbifold: it has 16 singular points, and its geometry was intensively studied in the nineteenth century). He studied what were later called Kummer extensions of fields: that is, extensions generated by adjoining an nth root to a field already containing a primitive nth root of unity. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kummer   (355 words)

Ernst Kummer biography .ms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Capable in applied mathematics, Kummer trained German army officers in ballistics; afterwards, he taught for 10 years in a Gymnasium (the German equivalent of high school), where he inspired the mathematical career of Leopold Kronecker. The Kummer surface results from taking the quotient of a two-dimensional abelian variety by the cyclic group {1, -1} (an early orbifold: it has 16 singular points, and its geometry was intensively studied in the nineteenth century). He studied what were later called Kummer extensions of fields: that is, extensions generated by adjoining an n-th root to a field already containing a primitive n-th root of unity. ernst-kummer.biography.ms   (241 words)

FindLaw for Legal Professionals - Case Law, Federal and State Resources, Forms, and Code Kummer's complaint was originally filed on February 7, 1989, but a hearing before the OCT was not held until October of 1991, and it was January 4, 1993 before the OCT issued a proposed deci- sion and June 8, 1993 before the OCT issued a final deci- sion. Kummer could have continued ordering and selling Suzuki vehicles while the proceedings were pending at the OCT and been in no worse a position than he was when he received the termination notice in December, 1988." Kummer's nonperformance, therefore, cannot be excused on the basis that Suzuki prevented the performance. Kummer's final argument on cross-appeal is that the magistrate judge erred in holding that Suzuki's January 21, 1993 termination of Kummer's dealership did not vio- late section 218.01(3)(a)17 of the Wisconsin Motor Vehi- cle Dealer law. caselaw.lp.findlaw.com /scripts/getcase.pl?court=7th&navby=case&no=943128   (5776 words)

Kummer   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) Kummer's mathematics lecturer H F Scherk inspired his interest in mathematics and Kummer soon was studying mathematics as his main subject, although at this stage he still saw it as leading to a later study of philosophy. Kummer's popularity as a professor was based mot only on the clarity of his lectures but on his charm and sense of humour as well. Kummer's geometric period was one when he devoted himself to the study of the ray systems that Hamilton had examined, but Kummer treated these problems algebraically. www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk /~history/Mathematicians/Kummer.html   (1372 words)

02-3403 -- U.S. v. Zabalza -- 10/17/2003 According to Sergeant Kummer, the weather on this particular day was overcast with some wind, but, in his judgment, the weather would not have made it impracticable for a driver to maintain a single lane of travel. Sergeant Kummer testified at the suppression hearing that when he began talking to Zabalza he detected a "moderate to strong odor" of raw marijuana coming from the car and that he had no doubt there was marijuana in the car. Because we find that Sergeant Kummer's detection of the odor of marijuana emanating from the car at the inception of the stop established probable cause, we necessarily find that Sergeant Kummer's continued questioning of Zabalza was proper. www.kscourts.org /ca10/cases/2003/10/02-3403.htm   (1506 words)

High Country News -- June 23, 1997: Proposed ski resort does a face plant The brainchild of developer Fred Kummer, Adam’s Rib ski resort was slated for Forest Service land halfway between Vail and Aspen (HCN, 2/19/96). Kummer, a St. Louis-based hospital and luxury hotel developer, got the idea for Adam’s Rib while vacationing in Vail in the late 1960s. Then, in 1993, after the Army Corps of Engineers rejected Kummer’s application to develop in wetland areas, he suggested an even less popular alternative: slicing off the top of the ridge (the rib) to create a bench for a village on the side of the ski mountain. www.hcn.org /servlets/hcn.Article?article_id=3459   (927 words)

Graphics-Assisted Geometry: Kummer's Surface This follows by a well known criterion, since the partial derivatives of km with respect to x, y, z are simultaneously zero only at the origin. This command makes serious demands on a computer, since (for example) to give a reasonable idea of Kummer's surface, it would have to check points densely throughout a quite large 3-dimensional box to see which satisfy the equation km=3. We assert that somewhere on Kummer's surface the Gaussian curvature of M must take on a minimum value. www.math.ucla.edu /~bon/kummer.html   (1815 words)
