Dime la importancia que una clase dominante en una ciudad da a sus escuelas publicas y te diré la clase de ciudad que tienen.
El Colegio Santa Librada de Cali una gloria en el pasadado cercano ha sido abandonado. Ya pueden ustedes deducir la clase de ciudad en la que Cali se ha convertido. En esa escuela se graduó Takahashi en 1955, el que descubrió que la veta de los Módulos de Hilbert como minero de Hofman y Dauns en Tulane en 1971. Takahashi demuestra que los módulos de Hilbert son compañeros duales de los campos de Hilbert que Godement habia sistematizado en 1949. Es decir, tiende un puente de dos vías entre el Reino del Álgebra y el Reino de la Geometría.
Como lo demuetra la Guía de viaje de Frank, el trabajo pionero de Takahashi era sólo la entrada a todo un nuevo campo del análisis funcional que se habia originado en los trabajos de Gelfand y Neimark por un lado(Geometría no conmutativa) y de von Neumann y Murray por otro lado ( Probabilidad no conmutativa)
Richard Kadison attended the Bronx High School of Science, graduating in 1942. Robert Osserman (1926-2011), who became a professor of mathematics at Stanford University, said in the interview [7]:-
I was very lucky with schools. I grew up in New York City which had some wonderful public high schools, and just at the time I was ready to think about where to go they started two new ones - the first specialty high schools. One was the High School of Music and Art, the other was the Bronx High School of Science. Both of them were free public high schools, but they required an examination to get in and admission was on a competitive basis. I was a member of the first full graduating class of the Bronx High School of Science and I had some wonderful teachers, as well as terrific fellow students. One of my classmates (who happened coincidentally to live in the same apartment house in Manhattan that I did) was Richard Kadison, who became a well-known mathematician ...

Y la clase de 1950 dio dos premios nobel:
Steve Weinberg (3/05/1933-24/07/2021, 88 years old) was in the same Bronx High School of Science graduating class (1950) as Sheldon Glashow(5/12/32-,89 years old), with whom he would later share the Nobel Prize in 1979.
