Stern (Edward A.) interview
No full textDetroit, Michigan, United StatesThe oral history interview reviews Stern's background, early years and education in Detroit, Michigan, his graduate work at the California Institute of Technology, and his teaching career at the University of Washington. Two of his activities are discussed at length: his efforts on behalf of Jewish Refusnik scientists, and his work with Jewish students at the University of Washington. Specifically, Stern details his single-handed efforts to make weekly telephone calls to Jewish Refusniks whose applications to the then Soviet government for permission to emigrate to Israel with their families had been denied, and to publicize their plight. He also documents his active involvement with Jewish students at the UW, including the Jewish student-led fight to remove the Organization of Arab Students from the Minority Affairs Committee, and the effort to successfully counteract the statement "Zionism is Racism." Also discussed is Stern's tenure as President of the Board of the Hillel Foundation of the University of Washington and the investigation of embezzlement charges brought against a member of its staff.

A sequence related to the Stern sequence
No full textIn this dissertation we define and study a two-parameter family of recursive sequences which we call the bow sequences. The general bow sequence is defined similarly to the Stern sequence, and many of the properties of the bow sequences are related to known properties of the Stern sequence. In particular, we derive the generating function for the general bow sequence, and give interpretations of the generating function for two basic cases. We also determine properties of the bow sequences modulo 2 and 3, and give conjectures for the behavior of the bow sequences modulo d for d
≥4. Finally, we discuss ideas for future research.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2010-06-23T23:00:52Z
