If you've ever used a library database or received a book or article via interlibrary loan, Minitex was most likely involved as well as your local library.

Celebrating 40 years of Minitex

What began in 1969 at the University of Minnesota Libraries as a pilot project called the "Minnesota Interlibrary Teletype Experiment," or "MINITEX," became a full-fledged program in 1971 when it received funding from the Minnesota State Legislature.
Founded as a means for sharing University of Minnesota Libraries resources throughout the state, Minitex quickly grew to enable participation and collaboration between libraries of all types in Minnesota and in the neighboring states of North Dakota and South Dakota.

10/21 Athenaeum at 1pm - π, e and prime numbers by Joyati Debnath

Join us Wednesday October 21, 2009 at 1pm for Joyati Debnath, presetation titled π, e and prime numbers. Debnath is a Professor in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at Winona State University.

In mathematics, certain numbers are called rational numbers and certain numbers are called irrational numbers. Some irrational numbers are very popular namely π and e. The concept of irrationality was clearly expressed in the Sulba Satras (literally, “Aphorisms of the Chords” in Vedic Sanskrit) in India in 7th century BC. Manava (750 BC-690 BC), a Vedic priest and a skilled craftsman, wrote Sulba Satras to provide rules for religious rites and detailed accurate construction of altars needed for sacrifices. It contained constructions of circles from rectangles and squares from circles giving approximate values of π. This presentation will elaborate on the early history of the existence of π, e and their connection with the prime numbers, which is both fascinating and intriguing. Students and faculty at all levels and disciplines across the campus will find something interesting in this presentation.

The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the WSU Library, bluff side. The event is free and open to the public.
