Large octavo single issue pictorial wrappers. Fiction by Ellery Queen Vincent Starrett Mignon G. Eberhart Hulbert Footner and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.

194072114Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press 1940. First edition. Narrow octavo. 14 pp. Publisher's printed wrappers. Together with 274 IBM punch cards each with the same printed title across the top - "Quadratic Character of m" and with Robinson's name and copyright data. Both housed together in the publisher's cloth case with metallic snap and spine lettering in black. Bit of wear to bottom case joint but overall an excellent copy.From the introduction - "Since quadratic congruences play a fundamental role in the theory of numbers it seems very desirable to have a simple way to solve them even when moderately large numbers are involved. The method of exclusion when combined with a suitable mechanical device such as these stencils provides an easy method for solution" Raphael M. Robinson was a leading figure in mathematics and taught at Berkeley from 1937 to 1973."Even among world-renowned mathematicians Robinson was exceptional. In an age of specialization he contributed significantly to six fields: logic set theory geometry complex analysis number theory and combinatorics; and in a subject often considered a young person's game he continued to produce significant mathematics into his eighties. He also anticipated most of the mathematical community by a good 20 years in making use of computers to obtain results in pure mathematics. In 1951 never having seen one of the new computing machines and working only from a manual he coded the first successful program to test very large numbers for primality. “That the code was without error was and still is a remarkable feat†according to the recently published history of the Institute for Numerical Analysis on the UCLA campus. “In an age where most of our journals are filled with papers which even if good exploit theories for their own sake. it is refreshing and stimulating to encounter one of Robinson's papers†one of the foremost number theorists of the century has written. “In each of them he takes a problem old or new which can be stated in simple and intelligible terms and either solves it or at least adds much that is new. His scholarship is impeccable; it is plain that he never writes until he has thought deeply and until he has sought out every relevant piece of existing knowledge.â€Approximately a quarter of Robinson's publications are distributed among seven different topics in logic and the foundations of mathematics. The one to which he gave most attention was that of undecidable theories an interest that he shared with his wife Julia. By way of illustration the mathematical structure consisting of the integers with their operation of addition is said to have a decidable theory. This means it is possible to program a computer so that given any sentence about the structure in a logically defined language the computer will make a finite computation that determines whether the sentence is true or false. Another mathematical structure with a decidable theory is that of all real numbers with their operations of addition and multiplication. This was shown by Alfred Tarski also of Berkeley But a major mathematical discovery of this century was the fact that that the structure of integers with both operations of addition and multiplication has an undecidable structure because there is no computer program that can decide the truth or falsity of every sentence of its language. In several papers Robinson was able to show that a number of other mathematical theories are also undecidable. His most valuable contribution however was devising a theory with a finite number of axioms that is “essentially undecidableâ€--a concept introduced by Tarski. The book Undecidable Theories Mostowski Robinson and Tarski has provided a tool for researchers to identify undecidable theories in all parts of mathematics. " Calisphere.
