  1. for my mathematician.
  2. I chose Solomon Glum.
  3. He was born on May 31st 1932 in Baltimore, Maryland.
  4. He died on May 1st 2016 at the age of
  5. 83. A few important life events.
  6. He has won many awards, including the Claude Shannon Award
  7. in 1985 The Richard Hamming Medal in 2000, the National
  8. Medal of Science in 2013 and the Benjamin Franklin Medal
  9. in 2016.
  10. He received his bachelor's degree from John Hopkins University and
  11. a master's and doctorate in mathematics from Harvard University.
  12. This is actually a picture of him mhm, other occupations
  13. and interest.
  14. He was an electrical engineer professor at the University of
  15. South California, and in 1956 he worked at the Jet
  16. Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech in Pasadena, California He has published
  17. over 200 technical papers and his author of five published
  18. books. Examples of mathematics he's known for one would be
  19. Palyama knows, which are shapes made by connecting certain number
  20. of equal size squares, each joined together with at least
  21. one other square along the edge.
  22. The most known is dominos, two squares and then you
  23. have try Ah, minnows three squares Tetra minnows.
  24. Four squares, which are the shapes you often see in
  25. the game.
  26. Tetris and then Pente.
  27. Dominoes. Five squares.
  28. This is actually a page from his book he published
  29. about Polly Amano's explaining the different shapes that they form
  30. in the ways to use it when applying this to
  31. a class like pre K and second great application.
  32. A great way would be by using sorting classifications, ordering
  33. by number of squares, forming patterns.
  34. My favorite has to be the Penta minnows.
  35. Five squares often represent letters allowing for a classifications of
  36. the letter, in which closely resembles this is a great
  37. example. Other math mathematics that he is known for would
  38. be the glum ruler, which has a set of marks
  39. at integer positions along an imaginary ruler, such that no
  40. two pair of marks are the same distance apart.
  41. And this is what it looks like reptiles, which is
  42. a shape that can be dissected into copies of the
  43. same shape.
  44. And this is one example, and then probably one of
  45. the most complicated that I have found is the shift
  46. register sequences, which are obscure mathematical number pattern sequences of
  47. ones and zeros that can be looked random but there
  48. actually determined by complicated mathematical functions.
  49. With this, they could be used as binary code, which
  50. is why shift register sequences are common and technology.
  51. This is actually his book he published about shift register
  52. sequences. Unique fax.
  53. Solomon Glum helped spark the digital communication revolution with his
  54. work on shift registers sequences and crypto cryptology, even impacting
  55. the Mars Rover Curiosity Project with his coding schemes, which
  56. allowed pristine images to be transmitted from the Mars Rover
  57. Earth. This is a picture of him working at the
  58. Jet Propulsion Laboratory at Caltech, to which helped.
  59. To this.
  60. Solomon Glum spoke several languages, including including Hebrew, Danish, Norwegian,
  61. Swedish, German, French and, of course, English.
  62. This is a really amazing picture.
  63. He is writing different ways.
  64. Thio greet people in all the different languages that he
  65. knows. Oh oh, a really great quote I found by
  66. him is I'm proud that I've lived to see so
  67. many things that I've worked on being so widely adapted
  68. that no one ever thinks about where they came from.
