meant «наука управления». This word had existed in Plato's work — Dialogues, but its
meaning had been "the art of navigation".
    20. Almost all terms connected with cybernetics and computing technique in Russian are
of English origin because cybernetics was not admitted as science in the Soviet Union during
many years and when at last it was recognized all the terms were taken-ready by the Russian
language of this branch of science.
    21. The first woman president of the American Economic Association is now in office
(1996). Joan Robinson of Cambridge University was acknowledged as one the great 20-th
century economists even by her (male) enemies. Brady and Schwartz can be counted as
founders of quantitative economic history. But in general famous women in mathematics and
economy are rare and it is explained by the fact (in the previous ages and later up till 1960) of
the then existing misogyny [maw 's]®wnw] in sciences. This trend got the title "Great
American Gender Reaction" in the USA.
    22. Professor Garrow (London) said that the modern ideal woman favoured by clothes
designers and fashion editors was physiologically underweight."Models with a BMI of less
than 18 are thinner than it is healthy to be". BMI (Body-Mass-Index) is calculated by
measuring weight against height: kilograms divided by metres squared — kg/m2. A woman 5
ft 8 in. tall weighing 11 stone has a BMI of 23.3. Every woman of that height with a weight
from just under 9 stone to just over 12 stone would fall within the normal BMI range of 20 to
25. Professor Garrow said: "If your BMI is between 20 and 25 for God's sake worry about
something else, not your weight".
    23. Hilbert David, a great German mathematician was born in Königsberg in 1862. He
was the first to reduce geometry to a series of axioms and to contribute substantially to the
establishment of the formalistic foundations of mathematics. Due to these foundations the
development of mathematics and logic after Hilbert was different from the previous one. The
city of Königsberg in 1930 made Hilbert an honorary citizen. Hilbert is known to be one of
the greatest and most versatile mathematicians of his time.
    24. Jules Henri Poincare the prominent French mathematician, astronomer and
philosopher of science emphasized the subconscious, while probing the psychology of
mathematical discovery and invention. He was a forerunner of the modern intuitionist school
and he believed, that sudden illumination, following long subconscious work, was a prelude
to mathematical creation.
