LOUIS STUMPERS (born Aug-30-1911, died Sep-27-2003, 92 years old) Netherlands [what is this?] Frans Louis Henri Marie Stumpers was born in Eindhoven, Netherlands, on 30 August 1911. (1) He was champion of the Eindhoven Chess Club in 1938, 1939, 1946, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1958, 1961 and 1963, (2) and champion of the North Brabant Chess Federation (Noord Brabantse Schaak Bond, NBSB) in 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1959, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1967. (3) Stumpers participated in five Dutch Chess Championships, with his high-water mark a fourth place finish in 1948, (4) and represented his country at the 1st European Team Championship in Vienna in 1957 (two games, vs Josef Platt and Max Dorn). (5) From 1945 until about 1956, he was first Secretary and then Chairman of the NBSB. (3) Stumpers was a physicist, and worked for the Philips company as an assistant from 1928. During 1934-1937, he studied at the University of Utrecht, where he took the master's degree. (6) In 1938 Stumpers was again employed at Philips, (6) and at a tournament in 1942, he supplied the hungry chess players with food from his employer. (3) After the war, Stumpers made a career in physics, with patents and awards on information ("radio") technology. He received degrees from several universities and colleges, including in Poland and Japan. (1, 3, 6) Stumpers retired from Philips in 1972, but continued teaching, (6) partly as professor at the University of Utrecht (1977-1981). (7) He was also Vice President (1975-1981) and Honorary President (1990-2003) of URSI, the International Union of Radio Science. (8) Louis Stumpers married Mieke Driessen in 1954. They had five children, three girls and two boys.

Randomization also ensures an even outcome (on average) against a team whose players have skills matching exactly the players on your team. < Meanwhile I'm still chewing on <ughaibu>'s statement <The probability of two randomly selected non-zero natural numbers being co-prime, is six divided by pi squared.> How beautiful! Wondering if this was "modern" mathematics or not, I poked around and found it's discovery credited to Franz Mertens in 1874. > How beautiful indeed! I first heard the theorem when I was 13 years old, from some students in the next grade up (who were a wonderful source of odd facts). I pursued mathematics in university with the latent aim of discovering a proof of the theorem, which I found 5 years later in Hardy and Wright's Theory of Numbers. Who needs miracles to evoke a sense of awe at a universe where the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter can be related to prime factors of two integers? Aug-28-17    Marmot PFL: I looked up the proof of that but it's way too complicated for me, with complex number functions and so on. Sep-08-17    Sneaky: <Who needs miracles to evoke a sense of awe at a universe where the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter can be related to prime factors of two integers?> I guess the Buddhists have been right all along: EVERYTHING is interconnected. Sep-08-17    Sneaky: BTW did you all know there was a recent movie based on Hardy and Ramanujan? How cool, I'm going to have to see this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0787524/ Sep-08-17    WannaBe: I saw it, quite good. Sep-08-17    Marmot PFL: Saw part of it on cable. Poor Ramanujan not only suffered from the English food and climate but also had to endure attacks from white supremacists. Sep-08-17    beatgiant: <Sneaky> Yes, I saw it and thought it was excellent. I saw it with someone from the same part of India as Ramanujan. That person pointed out a number of cultural inaccuracies, from the way Ramanujan's name was pronounced to how he behaved toward his faculty advisor. But nothing so bad as to spoil the overall enjoyment of the movie. Sep-08-17    Sneaky: Cool, I fully expect cultural inaccuracies, as long as they hired a mathematician as a consultant to keep the math pure I'll be satisfied. Is Mir Sultan Khan is the Ramanujan of chess, or is Ramanujan the Mir Sultan Khan of mathematics? Sep-08-17    ughaibu: Sneaky: you've used "cool" in you latest two posts, what does it mean? Sep-08-17    Sneaky: Definition #7 from Merriam Webster adj., slang — very good : excellent; <That was a really cool movie.>; also : all right <Is getting together Friday night cool with you?> I believe it's one of the slang terms from the hipster era that stuck with Americans. I didn't know it was not universal. Thankfully, nobody ever says "Daddy 'O" anymore. Sep-08-17    beatgiant: <ughaibu> <"cool"> It's like "groovy" but less outdated. Sep-08-17    ughaibu: <I believe it's one of the slang terms from the hipster era that stuck with Americans.> But if you mean, by this, something that would be exemplified in the assertion "Steve McQueen was the embodiment of cool", that appears to be unsuitable for either of your above, and apparently distinct, contexts. It's a genuine question. These days, when I read on the internet, a comment that, for example, some discovery by molecular biologists is "cool", I really don't understand what is meant. Sep-08-17    ughaibu: Beatgiant: Is it groovy that there's a film about Ramanujan? Is it groovy that you've seen it? Neither seems to be the "groovy" in my vocabulary. Sep-08-17    ughaibu: Hello lampost, what you knowing, I've come to watch your flowers growing" Sep-08-17    beatgiant: <ughaibu> Check out urbandictionary.com. They give no less than 7 definitions of "cool" and lots of examples. Here is definition number 7. <cool American now global slang, 1950s-present adj. 1) superior, desirable, worthy of approval 2) in or beyond the current style; in harmony with an ineffable sophistication 3) graceful despite pressure 4) relaxed, calm, low-key, mellow 5) agreeable 6) trustworthy; not a narc 7) under self-control, despite appearances 8) reconciled 9) above and beyond a situation 10) characterized by strange masteries and hidden resources verb. 1) ~ it. Stop overreacting. 2) ~ him. Subtly check one's luck or progress. Adj. 1) "My new skirt is so cool!" 2) "SF is a cool city." "Miles Davis was a cool dude." 3) "When the cops came, he was cool." 4) "Nothing bothers him. He's always cool." 5) "Cool! I'll start tomorrow." 6) "I can't believe you fired up in front of him." "No, man, he's cool." 7) "It's OK, man. I'm cool." 8) "Are we cool, man?" "Yeah, we're cool." 9) "Nah, I'm too cool for school." 10) "When he disappeared like that, that was so cool!" Verb. 1) "Hey man! Put that gun down and cool it!" 2) "Send Joe over there to cool him." > Sep-08-17    ughaibu: Beatgiant: Thanks. Not yet as vague and ambiguous as "awesome", but looks like it has the potential. Sep-09-17    WannaBe: That's just far out. Duuuuuude. Sep-09-17    beatgiant: Chill. Sep-09-17    WannaBe: Chill (?!), as if!! =) Sep-09-17    johnlspouge: < <Sneaky> wrote: Cool, I fully expect cultural inaccuracies, as long as they hired a mathematician as a consultant to keep the math pure I'll be satisfied. > Funniest line in the movie: "Partitions!" Context is everything, but the line should reassure you that they kept the math pure. I watched with my wife (who, believe me, has minus infinity interest in mathematics), so I can recommend the movie as your last opportunity to enjoy a mathematical experience with a non-mathematical loved one. Sep-10-17    al wazir: <johnlspouge: Funniest line in the movie: "Partitions!"> If that's the best line in the flick, it's no wonder that it grossed only 12 million and went missing at Oscar time. BTW, what's the *next smallest* one after 1729? (No fair googling.) Sep-10-17    johnlspouge: Philistine. Sep-10-17    johnlspouge: < <al wazir> wrote: BTW, what's the *next smallest* one after 1729? (No fair googling.) > I bet my odds of guessing are not good ;>) Sep-10-17    al wazir: <johnlspouge: I bet my odds of guessing are not good>. You could guess that the next one is found by doubling 1, 12, 9, and 10. But that's not the answer. I'll give you a hint. The largest of the four numbers that are cubed is 16.
