杰克逊(D.D.Jackson)的颂词今年颁发美国地震学会奖章的问题是一个数学问题……。幸运的是,这个数学问题有一个颇为漂亮的解,就是证明存在一个满足条件C 的人 P(可能是复数)。条件 C 包括:P 是下述三个集交集的一员,并且可能还是唯一的一员,即他既是地球物理学教授,又是物理学教授,还是位音乐学家。P 在南加利福尼亚一所著名大学担任三个要职,这所大学在篮球运动上的声誉与其在地球物理学方面所取得的成就一样闻名。 The tribute of D. D. Jackson This year the issue of the American Seismological Association’s medal is a mathematical issue .... Fortunately, there is a pretty good solution to this mathematical problem, which is to prove that there is a person P (possibly complex) that satisfies the condition C. Condition C includes: P is a member of the following three sets of intersections, and may or only one member, that he is both a professor of geophysics, physics professor, or a musicologist. P holds three senior positions at a prestigious university in Southern California, the university’s reputation for basketball as well as its accomplishments in geophysics.
