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.

A substantial number of Vandiver letters and other manuscripts are
located among the G. D. Birkhoff papers in the Harvard University Archives. |
Before 1984 held by the University of Texas at Austin Humanities
Research Center.
H. S. Vandiver Papers, 1889-1977, Archives of American Mathematics,
Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, University of Texas at Austin.
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.
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.

Series Abstract |
|
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. |
