An article by Professor of Mathematics Robert Kantrowitz '82 appears in the May 2008 issue of the American Mathematical Monthly. The paper, "Yet another proof of Minkowski's inequality," co-authored with Michael M. Neumann of Mississippi State University, offers an alternative proof, based on convexity, to a celebrated, century-old inequality attributed to the German mathematician Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909).
