Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, it discusses a portion of the theory from a unifying point of view and provides a systematic and self-contained introduction to each branch of the applications it employs.

Kernel Functions and Elliptic Differential Equations in Mathematical Physics is obviously situated at the interface of analysis and mathematical physics, which is altogether natural, really, given the role played by integrating kernels in modern physics, in the wake of, for instance, Methoden der Mathematische Physik I,II , by Hilbert and Courant, the classic set of texts famously providing the mathematics needed for quantum mechanics.

Riemann is possibly the ne plus ultra as far as mathematical breadth is concerned, seeing that his applied analytic work, and his physics and differential geometry , was offset by the single most remarkable and influential article ever written on analytic number theory, giving us both the prime number theorem and the Riemann hypothesis.

  • Acceptance Speech by Professor Omar M. Yaghi
    Omar Yaghi’s Speech for 2017 Albert Einstein Science Award I want to thank the principals of the World Cultural Council, organizers of the Einstein World Award of Science Prize, and the generous hospitality of our hosts, Leiden University’s executive body, faculty, staff, and students. Please allow me to express my deepest appreciation to Lily Hernandez for her thoughtfulness and dedication to help bring all this together. I am deeply honored to join the ranks of distinguished scholars who were awarded this prize in years past. Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to make the following brief remarks: As a child born to a refugee family, I firmly believe that each one of us is blessed with having an opportunity, a chance, a probability, to succeed in our chosen endeavor. I believe we are born with this opportunity and that we as individuals can work towards capturing it and, if we make the right decisions, we can grow and thrive. In other words, our ability to transform ourselves lies within us. I sincerely believe that this opportunity and the chance to succeed live in all of us. It is part of our DNA no matter who we are and where we come from. In my remarks here today, I wish to say something to those who may face at some point slim odds of success in their life, those who start at the lower rungs of the ladder, and those who experience difficulty and may feel sidelined by life’s twists and turns. I stand before you as a product of those slim odds and of a life of hardship such odds entail.

We look forward to many more years of collaborative working to promote Indian Science and the importance of agricultural biodiversity to nourish people and sustain the planet.” When the international edition of Time magazine named Indian agricultural scientist M. S. Swaminathan as one of the 100 most influential Asians of the twentieth century, many readers wondered who Swaminathan was. While less well known than the other Indians on Time ‘s list, such as poet Rabindranath Tagore and nonviolence advocate Mohandas K. Gandhi, Swaminathan may have touched the lives of impoverished Indians more directly than those other historical figures. As the originator of the so-called Green Revolution, Swaminathan set in motion fundamental changes in agricultural production in India that have put an end to India’s age-old status as a nation on the brink of starvation.

A list of Nobel Prize winners offers a quick register of the world’s best and brightest, whose accomplishments in literature, economics, medicine, science and peace have enriched the lives of millions. Over the past century, 270 Americans have received the Nobel Prize for innovation and ingenuity. Approximately one-fourth of these distinguished individuals are, or were, federal employees. Their Nobel contributions have resulted in the eradication of polio, the mapping of the human genome, the harnessing of atomic energy, the achievement of peace between nations, and advances in medicine that not only prolong our lives, but “This report should serve improve their quality. as an inspiration and a During Public Employees Recognition Week (May 4-10, 2003), in an effort to recognize and honor the reminder to us all of the ideas and accomplishments of federal workers past and present, the Partnership for Public Service offers innovation and nobility of this report highlighting 50 American Nobel laureates the work civil servants do whose award-winning achievements occurred while they served in government or whose public service every day and its far- work had an impact on their career achievements.
