Scope and Contents

This collection consists of correspondence (about 2350 items), research notes, bibliographies, lecture notes, notebooks, drafts of publications, reprints, and photographs documenting the career of H. S. Vandiver.

H. S. Vandiver was a number theorist and this collection of personal papers, books, and offprints, reflects his work in this field. For many years he was generally regarded as the leading expert on Fermat's last theorem (F. L. T.) and he received many supposed proofs -- most from people generally regarded as amateur mathematicians. He attempted to produce a history of F. L. T. after the fashion of L. E. Dickson's "History of the Theory of Numbers" and the collection contains a large number of bibliographical notes for this project. He was one of the first mathematicians to use computers in "pure mathematics" and parts of the collection reflect both the pre-computer era of massive hand-made calculations and the extensions to this work in number theory enabled by computers.

Approximately 1,850 letters relating to mathematics and written from before 1910 up to 1965 have been arranged alphabetically by correspondent. Approximately 500 other letters are arranged by subject, retaining Vandiver's own organization. Correspondents include A. A. Albert, E. T. Bell, R. Bellman, G. D. Birkhoff, S. G. Bourne, R. Brauer, L. Carlitz, A. Church, H. S. M. Coxeter, L. E. Dickson, H. H. Hasse, I. M. Herstein, S. Lefschetz, D. N. Lehmer, E. H. Moore, C. A. Nicol, E. L. Post, B. L. van der Waerden, and A. L. Whiteman.

The suitcase in the collection was said to have been kept by Vandiver for storing current work in his campus office. When he decided to isolate himself for work in a downtown Austin hotel room -- as he frequently did -- he packed his work in the suitcase. A small amount of family photographs and letters are also present in the collection.

The collection also includes approximately 150 books from Vandiver’s library. These books include a number of classics in number theory, including a copy of Gauss' Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, 1801. Vandiver’s library has been catalogued in UTCAT, the online catalogue of the University of Texas at Austin. A list of all the books in the Vandiver library can be provided upon request from the archivist of the Archives of American Mathematics or generated by searching UTCAT. Search for individual titles, and request books by call number using a library request form. See the "Books" series below for more details.

Dept. of Mathematics Number theory Fermat's last theorem Acquisition Information

The papers of Harry Schultz Vandiver (1882-1973) noted mathematician and member of the National Academy of Sciences, were donated to the Humanities Research Center in 1974 by Vandiver's son, Frank. Literary rights to the manuscripts by Vandiver are held by Frank Vandiver. Dr. R. E. Greenwood and Dr. Albert C. Lewis made additions to the collection.

Processing Information

Albert C. Lewis originally processed the papers in April 1978. The collection, along with the rest of the Archives of American Mathematics, was transferred to the Center for American History in 1984 where Dr. Frederic Burchsted continued work on them. This finding aid was reformatted and edited by Kristy Sorensen in 2003.

Related Material

A substantial number of Vandiver letters and other manuscripts are located among the G. D. Birkhoff papers in the Harvard University Archives.

A complete list of the books in Vandiver’s library is available upon request from the archivist of the Archives of American Mathematics. A list of Vandiver’s books can also be generated in UTCAT, by doing an Advanced Search. Search for “Vandiver” in the “Note:” field, and limit the search by Location to “Briscoe Center for American History.” Note that a small number of other materials may appear in this search. Note also that copies of the same titles at other branches on the UT campus will be listed. Only the copies listed at the Briscoe Center for American History are from the Vandiver library. With the exception of the two books listed below, the majority of the Vandiver library is stored off-site (CDL 3rd floor) and will require 48-hour notice for retrieval.
