The Fields Medal John Charles Fields was born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada on May 14, 1863. Fields received his B.A. in Mathematics from the University of Toronto in 1884 and his Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University in 1887. He was later appointed Professor of Mathematics at Allegheny College from 1889 to 1892. After a period of study in Europe, during which he made associations with such noted mathematicians as Fuchs, Frobenius, Hensel, Schawrtz, and Planck, Fields was appointed special lecturer at the University of Toronto in 1902. He was later appointed as research professor in 1923 and remained at the university until the time of his death on August 9, 1932. During his mathematical career, John Charles Fields was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1907) and the Royal Society of London (1913). In addition, he served as the president of the 1924 International Congress of Mathematicians at Toronto. Fields' mathematical interests were in algebraic functions. Fields was probably the most significant research mathematician ever at the University of Toronto. The Thomas Fisher Rare Books Collection currently hold his papers. http://www.fields.toronto.edu/medal.html

Vol. 14, No. 2 current issue archive / search contact New faculty member Zelmanov wins Fields Medal Efim Zelmanov, who joined the faculty as Professor in Mathematics on July 1, is one of four recipients of the 1994 Fields Medal, which is considered the world's most prestigious prize for mathematics and is often compared to the Nobel Prize. Zelmanov was honored for his work in the field of abstract algebra, including group theory, and specifically for his proof of the Restricted Burnside Problem, where he showed that certain mathematical constructs known as periodic groups are finite. Jonathan Alperin, Professor in Mathematics, called Zelmanov's solution of the Restricted Burnside Problem "a tremendous breakthrough and a real triumph." "His proof is awesome," Alperin said, "and at a level completely ahead of any previous work in algebra. It is notable for its sheer power, but also for the volcano of new techniques he developed to bring it to completion. His single effort has completely changed and advanced the whole field of algebra and given us a whole new field on which to operate." Zelmanov said, "I am very proud to have been selected for this award. And I am also pleased that this is a recognition of the field of algebra.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] September 17, 1998 SEARCH THE GAZETTE Mathematician Curtis McMullen Wins Prestigious Fields Medal By William J. Cromie Gazette Staff Curtis McMullen, a newly appointed professor of mathematics, has won the Fields Medal, the highest award given to mathematicians. The prestigious prize, which recognizes both existing work and promise of future achievement, is given every four years to mathematicians age 40 and under. McMullen is 40. No Nobel Prize exists for mathematics. "This is a substitute, and I'm delighted to receive it," McMullen said. He received a gold medal and $15,000 Canadian because the founder of the award, J.D. Fields, was Canadian. The cash equivalent is about $9,600 U.S., considerably less than the $1 million given to Nobelists in physics and chemistry last year. "That's OK," said McMullen. "Mathematicians are basically happy just proving their theorems." McMullen's major work involved finding the relationship between the geometry of three-dimensional objects and the universal structure that occurs in the transition from regular to chaotic physical behavior. Physicists have found a surprising amount of common structure in different systems whose behavior changes from predictable to unpredictable. Examples include smoothly flowing water that becomes turbulent, asteroids suddenly swinging out of regular orbits, and a heart suddenly starting to beat irregularly. McMullen has constructed a new geometric perspective on the structures common to such physical changes.

April 28, 2000 Shaping up mathematics Fields medalist Bill Thurston helps students harvest fruits of geometry Teachers Bill Thurston, standing on left, and Ian Agol, standing right, use hands-on exercises with everyday shapes to geach multidimensional thinking to students. Neil Michel/Axiom photo By Sylvia Wright In the 1884 novel Flatland , a square living on a plane bemoans his two-dimensional life. "Life is somewhat dull in Flatland," he writes. "How can it be otherwise, when all one’s prospect, all one’s landscapes, historical pieces, portraits, flowers, still life, are nothing but a single line?" The Flatlander knows what he is missing because he has just been carried by a teacher into Spaceland, the third dimension. At UC Davis, mathematics professor William Thurston takes his students on a similar trip, into the world of multidimensional thinking. But while the square was impoverished by his new awareness, Thurston’s students are enriched. After a few classes of "Geometry and the Imagination," objects as mundane as apple peels or bathroom tiles and as exotic as the expanding universe all assume new character and complexity. "I just thought this class was going to be on geometry and shapes," said junior Heather Witt, a chemistry major. "I had no idea how much it would apply to everyday things. I’ve never looked at vegetables, for instance, and thought they were mathematically related. And they are."

De FieldsMedal Arthur van Dam [Homepage] Oktober 1997 Bibliotheek-opdracht 1 e jaar Computational Science De geschiedenis van de Fields medal John Charles Fields, waarschijnlijk de eerste bekende wiskundige uit Canada, werd op 14 mei 1963 in de staat Ontario geboren. Na zijn middelbare schoolperiode haalde hij in 1884 zijn doctoraal in de wiskunde aan de universiteit van Toronto. Hierna deed hij onderzoek aan de ‘John Hopkins University’ waar hij in 1887 de graad ‘Doctor of Philosophy’ haalde. Hij bleef nog twee jaar aan deze universiteit als leraar, waarna hij dit werk voortzette aan het ‘Allegheny College’. In 1892 vertrok Fields voor een periode van tien jaar naar Europa om wiskundig onderzoek te doen. Dit is een belangrijke periode in zijn leven geweest. Hij deed veel nieuwe contacten op en maakte kennis met veel beroemde wetenschappers, als Fuchs, Schwarz en Max Planck. Van zijn contacten uit die periode was de wiskundige Magnus Gotha Mittag-Leffler de belangrijkste. In 1902 keerde Fields weer terug naar Canada, waar hij als speciaal docent aan de universiteit van Toronto lesgaf. In 1923 werd hij hier benoemd tot research professor en hij is tot aan zijn dood in 1932 aan de universiteit gebleven. Naast zijn universitaire benoemingen, nam Fields in de maatschappij ook een belangrijke positie in. In 1907 werd hij benoemd tot ‘fellow of the Royal Society of Canada’ en in 1913 tot ‘fellow of the Royal Society of London’.

Fields Medal-winning mathematician joins faculty by David F. Salisbury Alain Connes, widely considered to be one of the three most influential living mathematicians, has accepted a position of distinguished professor at Vanderbilt, enabling the University to become a base for training new mathematicians to fill the ranks left vacant by a retiring generation of scholars. Under the arrangement, Connes, who is a professor of mathematics at the College de France and holds the Motchane Chair at l'Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques in France, will spend several weeks each spring in Nashville to collaborate with members of the Vanderbilt math department and participate in an annual workshop for young mathematicians. In 1982, Connes received the Fields Medal, the highest award given by the international mathematics community, and in 2001 he was awarded the $500,000 Crafoord Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In his introduction to Connes at the Crafoord Prize ceremony, Sir M. F. Atiyah, master of Trinity College and director of the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, declared that Connes is one of those major figures in mathematics who appear through history whose vision “transcends” the fragmentation into separate disciplines, whose work “helps to forge new bonds between the diverging branches” and whose legacy “is a rejuvenated discipline.” “Connes has taken geometry to whole new level — one that is finding important applications in theoretical physics,” explained Guoliang Yu, a Vanderbilt mathematics professor who works in the area.
