Ralph Duncan James (1909, Liverpool, England – 19 May 1979, Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada) was a Canadian mathematician working on number theory and mathematical analysis. Born in Liverpool, Ralph moved with his parents to Vancouver, British Columbia when he was young. After graduating from high school, Ralph attended University of British Columbia. After graduating, he continued in mathematics, writing a master’s thesis on ''Tangential Coordinates''. Proceeding to University of Chicago, he studied under L. E. Dickson. He gained a Ph.D. with a dissertation ''Analytical Investigations of Waring's Theorem'' in 1932. He continued post-graduate study, first with E. T. Bell at California Institute of Technology, then in 1934 with G. H. Hardy at Cambridge University. Ralph James was a professor of mathematics at University of California, Berkeley from 1934 to 1939. He was then called to University of Saskatchewan where he became Head of the mathematics department.〔(Prominent people ) from University of Saskatchewan〕 In 1943 he began his long tenure at University of British Columbia, becoming Head of the department in 1948. James made contributions to the theory of the Perron integral and to solution of Goldbach's conjecture. Since 1978, the Canadian Mathematical Society have awarded the Coxeter–James Prize in his honor. ==Papers== Ralph Duncan James published the following papers in the course of his career: * 1934: Mathematische Annalen "On the representation of integers as sums of pyramidal numbers" * 1934: Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 36(2):395–444 "The value of the number g(k) in Waring's problem" * 1938: ''Transactions of the American Mathematical Society'' 43(2):296–302 "A problem in additive number theory" * 1939: Duke Mathematical Journal 5:948–62 "Integers which are not represented by certain ternary quadratic forms" * 1942: (with Hermann Weyl ) American Journal of Mathematics 64:539–52 "Elementary note on prime number problems of Vinogradoff’s type" * 1943: Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society 49:422–32 "On the sieve method of Viggo Brun" * 1946: (with Walter Gage ) ''Transactions of the Royal Society of Canada'' Section III(3) 40:25–35 "A generalized integral" * 1949: Bulletin of the AMS 55:246–60 "Recent progress on the Goldbach problem" * 1950: Canadian Journal of Mathematics 2:297–306 "A generalized integral II" * 1954: (with Ivan Niven) Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society 5:834–8 "Unique factorization in multiplicative systems" * 1955: Bulletin of the AMS 61:1–15 "Integrals and summable trigonometric series" * 1956: Pacific Journal of Mathematics 6:99–110 "Summable trigonometric series" * 1968: Canadian Mathematical Bulletin 11:733–5 "The factors of a square-free integer" * 1970: American Mathematical Monthly 77(1):94 "Review: ''Studies in Number Theory''" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ralph Duncan James」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
