Born: 15 December 1912 in Bucharest, Romania

Died: 11 April 1989 in USA


Emil Grosswald was born into a Jewish family in Bucharest. He studied at the University of Bucharest, being awarded his Master's degree in 1933. The rise of anti-Semitism in Romania and the horror of the Nazi policies in Germany towards the Jews made Grosswald decide to France to further his education. He studied in studies in Paris and Montpelier, being in Paris in June 1940 when the city fell to the advancing German armies. He fled on foot to Orleans, then on to Spain as he sought safety.

From Spain Grosswald found a boat which took him to Cuba. He spent the remaining years of World War II in Havana, then in 1946 he went to Puerto Rico, eventually moving to the United States where he was able to register for doctoral studies at the University of Pennsylvania under the supervision of Hans Rademacher. In 1950 he was awarded his Ph.D. for his thesis On the Structure of Some Subgroups of the Modular Groups. He also wrote two papers which were published in 1950, the first being On a simple property of the derivatives of Legendre's polynomials while the second was Functions of bounded variation.

Grosswald's first post was at the University of Saskatchewan where he taught for a year, then he spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton before returning to a permanent post at the University of Pennsylvania. He remained at the University of Pennsylvania until 1968 when he was appointed as Professor of Mathematics at Temple University in Philadelphia. In 1980 he retired but spent the academic year 1980-81 at the Technicon in Haifa, Israel. Returning to the United States he spent 1982 as a visiting professor at Swarthmore College and 1984 at the University of Pennsylvania.

An analyst, specializing in analytic number theory, Grosswald also wrote on classical analysis and related topics. He wrote a number of important books: Topics from the theory of numbers (1966), Bessel polynomials (1978), Dedekind sums (written jointly with Hans Rademacher) (1972), and Representations of integers as sums of squares (1985). Let us look at each in turn.

First we look at Topics from the theory of numbers. We quote from the Preface Grosswald's own explanation of how he came to write the text:-

It was only with considerable doubt that I gave in to the insistence of some of my students and colleagues (and editors) and decided to 'polish' my notes in order to write the present volume. Indeed, there existed in English several excellent books on number theory on a comparable level, and I was not convinced that there was a need for still another one, or that I could improve on those previous presentations. However, with the 'finished product' in front of me, it seems that there is rather little overlap with any other text I know of, except of course, for the most fundamental topics which are common to all books in this field. Also the style seems to be different from that of most other books because of both the emphasis given to the historical point of view and the inclusion of references to a large amount of source material (books and papers) quoted in the text and bibliographies.

Topics covered include: the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, congruences, the quadratic reciprocity theorem, the standard arithmetical functions, the prime number theorem, Fermat's last theorem, and the theory of partitions. B Gordon, reviewing the text, writes:-

The author has certainly planned his book well, chosen material that will be stimulating to its intended audience, and carried the project through in such a way that interest seldom flags.

For the second edition of the text published in 1984, Grosswald had added material on L-functions and primes in arithmetic progressions, the arithmetic of number fields, and Diophantine equations.

In Bessel polynomials Grosswald studies: the relationship between Bessel functions and Bessel polynomials, differential equations and differential recurrence relations satisfied by the generalized Bessel polynomials, recurrence relations satisfied by the generalized Bessel polynomials, orthogonality properties of the generalized Bessel polynomials and the corresponding moment problem, relations of the generalized Bessel polynomials and the classical orthogonal polynomials, generating functions, Rodrigues-type formulas, the generalized Bessel polynomials and continued fractions, the zeros of the Bessel polynomials, algebraic properties of the Bessel polynomials, and the Galois group of the Bessel polynomials.

The collaboration between Rademacher and Grosswald on Dedekind sums came about due to Rademacher's illness. He was to be Hedrick Lecturer for the summer meeting of 1963 in Boulder, Colorado, and had written up notes for his lectures on Dedekind sums before falling ill. Grosswald was asked to deliver the lectures in his place and Rademacher asked Grosswald to edit the notes with a view to piblishing them under their joint names. Rademacher died in 1969 and the joint publication appeared three years later, ten years after the notes were first written.

The book Representations of integers as sums of squares:-

... presents a deeply meaningful walk through history with the problem of representations by the sum of squares. The author's purpose is to show unity in mathematics not by abstraction but by showing how this problem clarifies and is clarified by successive stages of mathematical evolution.

We should mention some other contributions that Grosswald made. He edited Rademacher's Topics in Analytic Number Theory (1973) and Collected Papers (1974). He was on the Board of Governors of the Mathematical Association of America from 1965 to 1968. He also served on the Ford Award Committee from 1970 to 1977.

Grosswald's wife, Elizabeth Rosenthal, died exactly one month after her husband. They had two daughters Blanche and Vivian.

الجبر أحد الفروع الرئيسية في الرياضيات، حيث إن التمكن من الرياضيات يعتمد على الفهم السليم للجبر. ويستخدم المهندسون والعلماء الجبر يومياً، وتعول المشاريع التجارية والصناعية على الجبر لحل الكثير من المعضلات التي تتعرض لها. ونظراً لأهمية الجبر في الحياة العصرية فإنه يدرّس في المدارس والجامعات في جميع أنحاء العالم. ويُعجب الكثير من الدارسين للجبر بقدرته وفائدته الكبيرتين، إذ باستخدام الجبر يمكن للمرء أن يحل كثيرًا من المسائل التي يتعذر حلها باستخدام الحساب فقط.وجاء اسمه من كتاب عالم الرياضيات والفلك والرحالة محمد بن موسى الخورازمي.


يعتبر علم المثلثات Trigonometry علماً عربياً ، فرياضيو العرب فضلوا علم المثلثات عن علم الفلك كأنهما علمين متداخلين ، ونظموه تنظيماً فيه لكثير من الدقة ، وقد كان اليونان يستعملون وتر CORDE ضعف القوسي قياس الزوايا ، فاستعاض رياضيو العرب عن الوتر بالجيب SINUS فأنت هذه الاستعاضة إلى تسهيل كثير من الاعمال الرياضية.

تعتبر المعادلات التفاضلية خير وسيلة لوصف معظم المـسائل الهندسـية والرياضـية والعلمية على حد سواء، إذ يتضح ذلك جليا في وصف عمليات انتقال الحرارة، جريان الموائـع، الحركة الموجية، الدوائر الإلكترونية فضلاً عن استخدامها في مسائل الهياكل الإنشائية والوصف الرياضي للتفاعلات الكيميائية.
ففي في الرياضيات, يطلق اسم المعادلات التفاضلية على المعادلات التي تحوي مشتقات و تفاضلات لبعض الدوال الرياضية و تظهر فيها بشكل متغيرات المعادلة . و يكون الهدف من حل هذه المعادلات هو إيجاد هذه الدوال الرياضية التي تحقق مشتقات هذه المعادلات.
