The Mathematics Genealogy Project (MGP) is a web-based database for the academic genealogy of mathematicians. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] As of 1 December 2023, [update] it contained information on 300,152 mathematical scientists who contributed to research-level mathematics.
In 1949, he was invited by Weil to become professor of mathematics at the University of Chicago and accepted the position as chair of geometry. [18] [2] Coincidentally, Ernest Preston Lane, former Chair at UChicago Department of Mathematics, was the doctoral advisor of Chern's undergraduate mentor at Tsinghua—Sun Guangyuan.
The Henry System is a descending system created by Reginald Buchanan Henry for a genealogy of the families of the presidents of the United States that he wrote in 1935. [3] It can be organized either by generation or not. The system begins with 1. The oldest child becomes 11, the next child is 12, and so on.
Zhang in Berkeley in 2021. Ruixiang Zhang is a mathematician specializing in Euclidean harmonic analysis, analytic number theory, geometry and additive combinatorics.He is an assistant professor in the Department of Mathematics at University of California, Berkeley. [1]
Academic genealogy may influence research results in areas of active research. Hirshman et al. examined a controversial medical question, the value of maximal surgery for high grade glioma, and demonstrated that a physician's medical academic genealogy can affect his or her findings and approaches to treatment.
Dennis Parnell Sullivan (born February 12, 1941) is an American mathematician known for his work in algebraic topology, geometric topology, and dynamical systems.He holds the Albert Einstein Chair at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and is a distinguished professor at Stony Brook University.
Academic Family Tree has its own mathematics tree, MathTree [19] but it is much less complete than the Mathematics Genealogy Project. As of 29 September 2023, MathTree contained 35,817 people [19] whereas the Mathematics Genealogy Project contained 297,268 people. [18] One other general academic genealogy was PhD Tree. [20]
Robert Phelan Langlands, CC FRS FRSC (/ ˈ l æ ŋ l ə n d z /; born October 6, 1936) is a Canadian mathematician. [1] [2] He is best known as the founder of the Langlands program, a vast web of conjectures and results connecting representation theory and automorphic forms to the study of Galois groups in number theory, [3] [4] for which he received the 2018 Abel Prize.
