Caccioppoli Prize
The Caccioppoli Prize is an award given in recognition of outstanding contributions in the field of mathematics, particularly in areas related to analysis and partial differential equations. It is named after the Italian mathematician Renato Caccioppoli, who made significant contributions to mathematics, especially in the 20th century. The prize is typically awarded to young mathematicians to promote and encourage research in mathematics.
Bring radical
In mathematics, a "bring radical" refers to a specific type of radical expression used to solve equations involving higher-degree polynomials, especially the general quintic equation. The bring radical is derived from the "Bring-Jerrard form" of a cubic polynomial. In essence, the Bring radical is often studied in the context of finding roots of polynomials that do not have explicit formulas involving only radicals for degrees five and higher.
Hannes Alfvén Prize
The Hannes Alfvén Prize is an award given to recognize significant contributions in the field of plasma physics, particularly in areas related to space and astrophysical plasmas. It was established in honor of Hannes Alfvén, a Swedish physicist who made pivotal discoveries in plasma physics and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970 for his work on magnetohydrodynamics.
Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize
The Carl Friedrich Gauss Prize is an award established by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) to recognize significant contributions to mathematics that have been influenced by the work of the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. The prize is typically awarded to mathematicians who have made substantial advances in the field, particularly those that demonstrate a strong connection to the principles and techniques developed by Gauss.
Chern Medal
The Chern Medal is an award conferred by the Chern Medal Foundation and the International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (GAMM). It is named after the renowned mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern, who made significant contributions to differential geometry and topology. The Chern Medal is awarded to individuals for outstanding achievements in the field of mathematics, particularly those that have had a significant impact on other disciplines, including science and engineering.
Forder Lectureship
The Forder Lectureship is an academic honor typically associated with particular institutions or fields of study. It usually involves a distinguished scholar or expert being invited to deliver a series of lectures on a specific topic or area of research. The details, including the purpose, topics covered, and the academic institution involved, can vary widely depending on the context of the lectureship.
Cavalieri's quadrature formula
Cavalieri's quadrature formula, named after the Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri, is a mathematical principle used to compute the area under a curve. The formula is particularly useful in the context of integral calculus and can be seen as a way to approximate the area under a function.
Coefficient diagram method
The Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM) is a technique used in the field of control systems and engineering, specifically for the design and analysis of robust and high-performance control systems. It provides a systematic way to create control laws by using polynomial representations of system dynamics and control objectives. ### Key Aspects of the Coefficient Diagram Method 1.
De Morgan Medal
The De Morgan Medal is an award presented by the London Mathematical Society (LMS) to recognize outstanding achievements in mathematics. Named after the British mathematician August De Morgan, the award is intended to honor individuals for their significant contributions to the field of mathematics, particularly those related to the contributions that are consistent with De Morgan's own work and philosophy. The medal is typically awarded every two years and is one of the highest honors given by the LMS.
