Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac OM FRS[2] (/dɪˈræk/ di-RAK; 8 August 1902 – 20 October 1984) was an English theoretical physicist who made fundamental contributions to the early development of both quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, a member of the Center for Theoretical Studies, University of Miami, and spent the last decade of his life at Florida State University. Among other discoveries, he formulated the Dirac equation, which describes the behaviour of fermions and predicted the existence of antimatter. Dirac shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1933 with Erwin Schrödinger, "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory".[3] He also did work that forms the basis of modern attempts to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics.
He was regarded by his friends and colleagues as unusual in character. Personal life Early years Education Family Personality Religious views Honours Death Career. Andrey Kolmogorov. Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov (Russian: Андрей Николаевич Колмогоров, IPA: [ɐn'drʲej nʲɪkɐˈlajɪvʲɪt͡ɕ kəlmə'ɡorəf] ( ), 25 April 1903 – 20 October 1987)[2][3] was a Soviet mathematician, preeminent in the 20th century, who advanced various scientific fields, among them probability theory, topology, intuitionistic logic, turbulence, classical mechanics, algorithmic information theory and computational complexity. Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Andrey Kolmogorov was born in Tambov, about 500 kilometers south-southeast of Moscow, in 1903. His unmarried mother, Maria Y. Little is known about Andrey's father. Kolmogorov gained a reputation for his wide-ranging erudition. Adulthood[edit] In 1922, Kolmogorov gained international recognition for constructing a Fourier series that diverges almost everywhere.[6][7] Around this time, he decided to devote his life to mathematics.
In 1925, Kolmogorov graduated from the Moscow State University and began to study under the supervision of Nikolai Luzin. David Rosenblueth's Home Page. Stuart Kauffman. Complex Systems Center Home. Nikola Tesla: The patron saint of geeks? 10 September 2012Last updated at 06:23 ET By Tom de Castella BBC News Magazine Fans have rallied to buy the lab of inventor and electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla to turn it into a museum. But why do so few people appreciate the importance of Tesla's work? Lots of people don't know who Nikola Tesla was. He's less famous than Einstein. He's less famous than Leonardo. Most gallingly for his fans, he's considerably less famous than his arch-rival Thomas Edison. But his work helped deliver the power for the device on which you are reading this. Mark Twain, whom he later befriended, described his invention as "the most valuable patent since the telephone".
Nikola Tesla was increasingly eccentric in his later years Tesla was on the winning side in the War of the Currents - the battle between George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison to establish whether AC or direct current (DC) would be used for electricity transmission. But his memory is kept alive by legions of "geeks" and science historians.
