Poetry and cockroaches

Phil Holmes is famous for his broad and innovative work in applied mathematics. Not only does he have a passion for the practical use of abstract mathematics, he also has a love for words and has published four books of poetry. He is currently the chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems. Hinke Osinga talked to him about his work.

History and Origins of the Korteweg-de Vries Equation

Recently, Eduard de Jager (University of Amsterdam) posted a very nice overview paper on the archives discussing the origins of the Korteweg-de Vries equations. He provides a taster for the readership of DSWeb Magazine, which is a free translation by Hinke Osinga of a related shorter article of Eduard de Jager that was published in July 2004 in the Dutch magazine ITW Nieuws (News in Industrial and Applied Mathematics).
