Everyone had just arrived from their respective airports – Frankfurt, Luxembourg, or Paris. He quickly gauged the room and could tell we were all not in the mood for math. El este bine cunoscut pentru contribuțiile sale majore în algebră și în teoria abeliană a categoriilor abstracte. in Math. Many problems in the physical sciences and engineering can be modeled by noncommutative functions. 22 (1976), no. G. Popescu, Positive-deflnite functions on free semigroups, Canadian Journal
Everyone was very disappointed summer had officially ended and school started the next morning.As we made our way into lecture I looked around, everyone seemed dead tired or just mentally fatigued in some way. R. Swan: Neron-Popescu desingularization; in Algebra and Geometry, International Press, Cambridge, (1998), 135–192. 13.

17 (1975), no. Name Title Email Office Phone ; Matt Baker: Professor : mbaker@math.gatech.edu : Skiles 128 Only Dr. Popescu can keep students laughing while studying math.

116 (1999), no. It was an hour and a half lecture on a hot Tuesday. G. Popescu, Positive-definite kernels on semigroups and universal algebras , Mathematica Scandinavica 84 (1999), 137-160. Eq.

Some were better than others, yet the amazing thing is his quantity. In mathematics, the Gabriel–Popescu theorem is an embedding theorem for certain abelian categories, introduced by Pierre Gabriel and Nicolae Popescu ().It characterizes certain abelian categories (the Grothendieck categories) as quotients of module categories..

14. The Rubin conjecture has an exact analog in function fields, and Popescu [Compositio Math.

And to be truthful, Dr. Popescu was the first faculty I thought of when I learned I would need to interview professors and students.

G. Popescu, Functional calculus for noncommuting operators, Michigan Math-ematical Journal 42 (1995), 345{356. Nicolae Popescu (Romanian: [nikoˈla.e poˈpesku]; 22 September 1937 – 29 July 2010) was a Romanian mathematician and professor at the University of Bucharest.He also held a research position at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, and was elected corresponding Member of the Romanian Academy in 1997. (His website is not only as witty as his lectures but also as informative.) I am a mathematician. But as our “world famous” tech guy patched our connection through to Atlanta, a smiling face came through.

For most students, there’s nothing remotely funny about Differential Equations.

Some casual “googling” was enough to find more about Dr. Popescu. At least 3 or 4 jokes every lecture, each of them different.

35 (1980), no. A mathematician’s job is similar to a cook’s job. 3, 321–367; MR1691163 (2000m:11115); see the preceding review] recently proved the conjecture in that context up to primes dividingV g=|G|. Dr. Ionel Popescu. Then came the jokes, the famous jokes!Now, it is almost inconceivable for me to think of Diff. Just when people start to trail off and lose focus, out comes some hilarity in the form of Irish bar jokes, English humor, or laughs about Russian mathematicians. So for three and a half months now he has been going strong telling well over 100 jokes in that time. Dr. Popescu received his doctorate at MIT in 2004. A. Arias, G. Popescu, Noncommutative interpolation and Poisson transforms II, Houston Journal of Mathematics 25 (1999), 79-98. G. Popescu, Non-commutative disc algebras and their representations, Pro-ceedings of the American Mathematical Society 124 (1996), 2137{2148. As Dr. Popescu might say “all this math wears on you and some mathematicians in fact go insane.” He told us a joke about a couple of insane mathematicians, but I’ve forgotten some and will spare telling it for fear of butchering the joke. You see, Dr. Popescu teaches us all the way from Atlanta through a video conference class.
