Private individuals, foundations, and nearly 100 Academic Sponsor Institutions, including the top mathematics departments in the United States, also provide crucial support and flexibility. Jim Simons, founder of Renaissance Technologies and a Berkeley alumnus, was a long-time supporter of the institute and served on the board of trustees. [10]
In 1983, he received a Ph.D. in mathematics under the supervision of Isadore Singer. After postdoctoral positions at Harvard University and the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, he joined the faculty at the University of Michigan. In 2009, he moved to University of California, Berkeley. Among his awards and honors:
Because of its proximity to the engineering school, and the location of both the departments of Computer Science, and Mathematics, Evans Hall was the building in which the original vi text editor was programmed, [3] as well as the birthplace of Berkeley Unix (BSD), and Rogue, which was further developed there by Glenn C Wickman, and Michael Toy.
Mark Berger, B.A. 1964 – recipient of four Academy Awards for sound mixing and adjunct professor at UC Berkeley [58]; John Dykstra – staff researcher (c. 1973–1975) at UC Berkeley's Institute of Urban and Regional Development, which developed computer-controlled cameras and associated technologies that were later adapted for the groundbreaking special effects in Star Wars and later films ...
Lawrence Craig Evans (born November 1, 1949) is an American mathematician and Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.. His research is in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations, primarily elliptic equations.
Michael Lounsbery Hutchings is an American mathematician, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley. [1] He is known for proving the double bubble conjecture on the shape of two-chambered soap bubbles, [2] and for his work on circle-valued Morse theory and on embedded contact homology, which he defined.
After receiving his doctoral degree, Ribet taught at Princeton University for three years before spending two years doing research in Paris. [3] In 1978, Ribet joined the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley, where he served three separate terms as supervisor of the department's graduate program, supervisor of the department's undergraduate program, and ...
