Prof. Corwin works to unify algebraic structures within mathematics, build bridges between these structures and domains of physics, and discover universal phenomena within these domains. He has uncovered universal distributions (modern day parallels of the bell curve) in models of interface growth...Read more about Spring 2017 Chern-Simons Lectures: Ivan Corwin, Columbia University, April 3-7
Kenneth Ribet has been awarded the 2017 Brouwer Medal by the Royal Dutch Mathematical Society (KWG), for his contributions to number theory, in particular for the groundbreaking work in which he applies methods of algebraic geometry to number theoretical problems. The prize is awarded once every...Read more about Kenneth Ribet awarded the 2017 Brouwer Medal. Congratulations!
