"Prof Hairer's award is specifically for his contribution to a particular type of equation, known as a partial differential equation or PDE. "Prof Etheridge is more familiar with the work of the medallist from Warwick, Martin Hairer. The university affiliations in this list are all official academic affiliations such as degree programs and official academic employment. Non-academic affiliations such as advisory committee and administrative staff are generally excluded. Medallist Prof Martin Hairer is an Austrian mathematician who teaches at the University of Warwick, UK Prof Alison Etheridge, a lecturer in applied mathematics at the University of Oxford, said she was thrilled by the announcement. "Caroline Series, a fellow maths professor at the University of Warwick where Prof Hairer works, said she was "utterly delighted" for her colleague. "Martin has tackled a fundamental problem and achieved a complete step-change in our understanding of it. "I almost never think that about bits of mathematics! "I came across her a long time ago when she was a PhD student, and I was sent a preliminary draft of her thesis. ICM veteran Joaquim Heinze plays with Fields predictions; Researchers from Germany, India, Iran and Italy win Fields Medal . "Women are doing so well now in mathematics that this is just icing on the cake," Prof Etheridge told the BBC. Alessio Figalli was awarded for his contributions to optimal transportation theory. The Fields medal is engraved with a likeness of Archimedes numbers with real and imaginary parts.In particular, she has studied "moduli spaces" of these shapes, which map all of the possible geometries of a Riemann surface into their own, new space.
Esther Dyson: Breaking through tech’s glass ceiling Maths confidence gap leaves UK girls trailing, OECD says The Scientific Program is intended for a wide audience, including graduate students, mathematicians in other research areas, and scientists who use mathematics in …
New Delhi-born Venkatesh, 36, who is currently teaching at Stanford University, has won the Fields Medal for his profound contributions to an exceptionally broad range of … "Prof Mirzakhani's seminal research concerns shapes called Riemann surfaces. She noted that around 40% of maths undergraduates in the UK are women, but that proportion declines rapidly at PhD level and beyond. He says that he is happy that he has been able to solve some important problems in his career, but has his work cut out for him for the next 30 or 40 years. In becoming the very first female medallist, Prof Mirzakhani - who teaches at Stanford University in California - ends what has been a long wait for the mathematics community.Prof Dame Frances Kirwan, a member of the medal selection committee from the University of Oxford, pointed out that despite maths being viewed traditionally as "a male preserve", women have contributed to mathematics for centuries. "It's fantastic news for Warwick," she told the BBC.Prof Series has also known Prof Mirzakhani and her work for some time.
But what has happened over the past decade or so, is that people have realised that to do modern applied mathematics, you really need a whole armoury of techniques from pure mathematics - especially if you're going to take account of random effects. Prof Mirzakhani's winning work relates to convoluted mathematical constructions called Riemann surfaces 1) All informal or personal visits are excluded from the list; 2) all employment-based visiting positions, which carry teaching/research duties, are included as affiliations in the list; 3) as for award-based visiting positions, to minimize controversy this list takes a conservative view and includes the positions as affiliations only if the medalists were required to assume employment-level duty (teaching/research) or the medalists specifically classified the visiting positions as "appointment" or similar in reliable sources such as their The number following a person's name is the year he/she received the Fields Medal; in particular, a number with asterisk (*) means the person received the award while he/she was working at the institution (including An Iranian mathematician working in the US has become the first ever female winner of the celebrated Fields Medal. It is asked to choose at least two, with a strong preference for four, Fields Medalists, and to have regard in its choice to representing a diversity of mathematical fields. The 2019 Fields Medal Symposium will honour Artur Avila (Fields Medal 2014) and explore the current and potential impact of his work. "Prof Series believes the first female Fields winner is a rare talent, who has produced unique and striking work. And I just read it in amazement - it was beautiful.
In a landmark hailed as "long … Adding an account of randomness to particular equations can help explain the physical interaction between two substances, like ash and paper in a smouldering sheet "I think Martin has done some of the most remarkable mathematics," she said.
