Bergman has sent us helpful hints regarding searches: <ol> <li>If you preface a string with a caret (e.g. ^lee) you will find only those strings that begin with the given string.</li> <li>Similarly, if you add a dollar sign as a suffix (e.g., lee$) you will find only those strings that end with the given string.</li> <li>Applying both of the above (e.g., ^lee$) will result in finding only those names that match the string exactly.</li> </ol> <p>Although we now have full support for UTF-8 (Unicode) characters, many of the names in our database appear with unaccented characters due to previous limitations. If you are having trouble finding someone whose name has a non-ASCII character in it, we suggest using an unaccented version of that character in your search ('a' instead of '盲', for example) or using a substring search that does not include the non-ASCII character. Feel free to submit properly-accented versions of names using the update link on an individual mathematician's page if needed.</p> <p style="text-align: center">Search by the first letter of the last name </p> <p style="text-align: center"> <a href="letter.php?letter=A">A</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=B">B</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=C">C</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=D">D</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=E">E</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=F">F</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=G">G</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=H">H</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=I">I</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=J">J</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=K">K</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=L">L</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=M">M</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=N">N</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=O">O</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=P">P</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=Q">Q</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=R">R</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=S">S</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=T">T</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=U">U</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=V">V</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=W">W</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=X">X</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=Y">Y</a> <a href="letter.php?letter=Z">Z</a> </p> </div> </div>  </div></div> <div id="footer"> <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal"> <li><a href="search.php">Search</a> </li> <li><a href="about.php" class="MenuBarItemSubmenu">About MGP</a> <ul> <li><a href="mission.php">Mission</a></li> <li><a href="news.php" title="Announcements">News</a></li> <li><a href="staff.php">Staff</a></li> <li><a href="recognition.php">Recognition</a></li> <li><a href="acknowledgments.php"><span style="font-size: x-small">Acknowledgments</span></a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="links.php">Links</a></li> <li><a href="faq.php" title="Frequently Asked Questions">FAQs</a></li> <li><a href="posters.php">Posters</a></li> <li><a href="submit.php">Submit Data</a></li> <li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li> </ul> <br /> <p>The Mathematics Genealogy Project is in need of funds to help pay for student help and other associated costs.
