 Economic Principals
Marshall was born in 1842 in a London suburb.
The title appeared to be a deliberate echo of mathematicians' tomes, including those of Frege, Brouwer and Hilbert, itself perhaps a sly dig at Keynes, who a dozen years before had borrowed the title of his “General Theory” from Einstein.
Marshall was something of a failure as a human being.

 Thomas Digges | Gentleman and Mathematician
As a mathematician, Digges aspired ‘to reach above the common sort’ (ibid.), and his intellectual elitism was mirrored in the values which he ascribed to the regular solids and their study.
In transferring his identity as a mathematician from one ideal of gentlemanly conduct to another, Digges cast a role for himself that is recognisably closer to that of a mathematical practitioner.
The secondary or accidental causes included the rarity or density of the air, the presence of wind, the wadding and ramming of the charge, the irregularity of the ground, the accuracy of the bore, the temperature of the piece, and the tight or loose fit of the bullet.

An Egyptian mathematician, Mustafa Abelkadar, considered an inverted geocosmos, that is, a Universe in which distant nebulae, stars and quasars were tiny microscopic objects in the center of a nutshell-like, all-surrounding Earth-sphere.
Light travelled in circular arcs; it was impossible to traverse the center of the geocosmos because one became very tiny and velocities became very tiny as one approached the center.

Mathematicians like E Artin, Chevalley and A Weil came to our country for this occasion, and significant contributions to long-standing problems of the theory of complex multiplication by Goro Shimura and Yutaka Taniyama as well as by A Weil were reported at the Symposium.
One was Artin's Geometric Algebra which she read and loved, a second was a chance to attend seminars at Cornell over the summer of 1962 while her husband was there on a research visit, and the third was an inspiring discussion she had with Hanna Neumann when she visited Mount Holyoke College.
This was nothing to do with his mathematical ability which everyone accepted as outstanding, but rather some mathematicians such as Artin felt that they could not have Nash as a colleague due to his aggressive personality.

A gifted mathematician, Polish-born Stanislaw Ulam made contributions to set theory, topology, mathematical logic, and number theory, but is most widely remembered for his work in fostering the technical development of thermonuclear weapons.
Stanislaw Ulam was gifted mathematician who, during the course of his career, made significant contributions to set theory, topology, ergodic theory, probability, cellular automata theory, the study of nonlinear processes, the function of real variables, mathematical logic, and number theory.
As Ulam was in contact with a few generations of mathematicians in both the U.S. and Poland, his correspondence provides an interesting record of the evolution of mathematics in both countries.
