Sofia Vasiljevna Kovalevská
Sofie Kovalevská aneb jaké to je být první profesorkou matematiky?
Sofie Kovalevská je matematikům známá především díky teorému Cauchyho-Kovalevské, ale věděli jste, že byla i první ženou, která se stala profesorkou matematiky? A i přesto si stejně jako mnozí z nás prošla v roli učitelky těžkými začátky, což pro nás může být velkou inspirací. Tento článek je zaměřen na strastiplnou cestu Sofie Kovalevské k vysněnému postu vysokoškolské profesorky a dále na její úspěšné leč krátké působení na univerzitě.
Solving an indeterminate third degree equation in rational numbers. Sylvester and Lucas
This article concerns the problem of solving diophantine equations in rational numbers. It traces the way in which the 19th century broke from the centuries-old tradition of the purely algebraic treatment of this problem. Special attention is paid to Sylvester’s work “On Certain Ternary Cubic-Form Equations” (1879–1880), in which the algebraico-geometrical approach was applied to the study of an indeterminate equation of third degree.

Some comments on the diversity of Vermeer paintings depicted on postage stamps
We present some comments on the diversity of the paintings by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) depicted on postage stamps. We have found 20 of the 36 "recognized" Vermeer paintings depicted on postage stamps issued by 29 "countries"; by country we mean here a stamp-issuing region that issues or has issued its own postage stamps. We apply Fisher's α index of biodiversity [11] to compare the diversity of Vermeer paintings depicted on postage stamps with the diversity of two other data sets [26]. We illustrate...
