Yaglom received a Ph. D. from Moscow State University in 1945 as student of Veniamin Kagan. Veniamin Fedorovich Kagan (Вениамин Фёдорович Каган ( 10 March 1869 – 8 May 1953) was a Russian Mathematician [3] As the author of several books, translated into English, that have become academic standards of reference, he has an international stature. His attention to the necessities of learning (pedagogy) make his books pleasing experiences for students. Pedagogy (ˈpɛdəgɒdʒi or paedagogy is the Art or Science of being a Teacher. The seven authors of his Russian obituary recount “…the breadth of his interests was truly extraordinary: he was seriously interested in history and philosophy, passionately loved and had a good knowledge of literature and art, often came forward with reports and lectures on the most diverse topics (for example, on Blok, Akhmatova, and the Dutch painter Escher), actively took part in the work of the cinema club in Yaroslavl and the music club at the House of Composers in Moscow, and was a continual participant of conferences on mathematical linguistics and on semiotics.

University life

Yaglom started his higher education at Moscow State University in 1938. During World War II he volunteered but due to myopia he was deferred from military service. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Myopia (from Greek: μυωπία myopia "near-sightedness" also called near- or short-sightedness, is a refractive defect In the evacuation of Moscow he went with his family to Sverdlovsk in the Ukraine. Between 1924 and 1991 Yekaterinburg Russia was also known as Sverdlovsk and in railway timetables it still is He studied at the Sverdlovsk State University, graduated in 1942, and when the usual Moscow faculty assembled in Sverdlovsk during the war, he took up graduate study. Under the geometer Veniamin Kagan he developed his Ph. Veniamin Fedorovich Kagan (Вениамин Фёдорович Каган ( 10 March 1869 – 8 May 1953) was a Russian Mathematician D. thesis which he defended in Moscow in 1945. It is reported that this thesis “was devoted to projective metrics on a plane and their connections with different types of complex numbers a + jb (where jj = -1, or jj = +1, or else jj = 0). ”[4]

Principle works

Isaac Yaglom wrote over 40 books and many articles. The Yaroslavl Demidov State University is an institution of higher education in Yaroslavl, Russia. Here are some of the better known ones with their date of appearance in English:

Complex numbers in geometry (1968)

Translated by Eric J. F. Primrose, published by Academic Press (N. Y. ). The trinity of complex number planes is laid out and exploited. Topics include line coordinates in the Euclidean and Lobachevski planes, and inversive geometry.

Geometric transformations (1962, 68, 73)

These publications of the New Mathematics Library (volumes 8, 21, and 24) from Random House publishing were keenly appreciated by proponents of the New Math in the U. New Math was a brief dramatic change in the way Mathematics was taught in American Grade schools during the 1960s The name is commonly given S. A. They represent only a part of Yaglom’s two-volume original published in 1955 and 56.

A simple non-euclidean geometry and its physical basis (1979)

Subtitle: An elementary account of Galilean geometry and the Galilean principle of relativity. Translated by Abe Shenitzer, published by Springer-Verlag. In his prefix, the translator says the book is “a fascinating story which flows from one geometry to another, from geometry to algebra, and from geometry to kinematics, and in so doing crosses artificial boundaries separating one area of mathematics from another and mathematics from physics. ” The author’s own prefix speaks of “the important connection between Klein’s Erlanger Program and the principles of relativity. ”

The approach taken is elementary; simple manipulations by shear mapping lead on page 68 to the conclusion that "the difference between the Galilean geometry of points and the Galilean geometry of lines is just a matter of terminology". In Mathematics, a shear or transvection is a particular kind of Linear mapping. Then he introduces Galilean angle. Galilean invariance or Galilean relativity is a Principle of relativity which states that the fundamental laws of physics are the same in all Inertial

The concepts of the dual number and its "imaginary" ε, ε2 = 0, do not appear in the development of Galilean geometry. A variety of dualities in mathematics are listed at Duality (mathematics. Nevertheless, Yaglom extensively develops his non-Euclidean geometry including the theory of cycles (pp. A variety of dualities in mathematics are listed at Duality (mathematics. 77-9), duality, and the circumcycle and incycle of a triangle (p. In the Geometry of the Projective plane, duality refers to geometric transformations that replace points by lines and lines by points while preserving 104).

Probability and information (1983)

Co-author: A. M. Yaglom. Russian editions in 1956, 59, and 72. Translated by V. K. Jain, published by D. Reidel and the Hindustan Publishing Corporation, India. The channel capacity work of Claude Shannon is developed from first principles in four chapters: probability, entropy and information, information calculation to solve logical problems, and applications to information transmission. Claude Elwood Shannon (April 30 1916 – February 24 2001 an American Electronic engineer and Mathematician, is "the father of Information The final chapter is well-developed including code efficiency, Huffman codes, natural language and biological information channels, influence of noise, and error detection and correction.

Felix Klein and Sophus Lie (1988)

Subtitle: The evolution of the idea of symmetry in the 19th century. In his chapter on “Felix Klein and his Erlangen Program”, Yaglom says that “finding a general description of all geometric systems [was] considered by mathematicians the central question of the day. ”[5] The subtitle more accurately describes the book than the main title, since a great number of mathematicians are credited in this account of the modern tools and methods of symmetry.

Notes

  1. ^ His last name is sometimes transliterated as "Jaglom", "Iaglom", "IAglom", or "I-Aglom". The double capitalization in the latter cases indicates that IA transliterates a single capital letter Я (Ya). Ya (Я я is a letter in the Cyrillic alphabet, representing either the combination /ja/ (a so-called Iotated vowel) or /a/ after a palatalized consonant
