Alexander I. Barvinok (born March 27, 1963) is a professor of mathematics at the University of Michigan. [1]
Barvinok received his Ph.D. from St. Petersburg State University in 1988 under the supervision of Anatoly Moiseevich Vershik. [2]
In 1999 Barvinok received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from President Bill Clinton. [3]
Barvinok gave an invited talk at the 2006 International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid. [4]
In 2012, Barvinok became a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. [5]
In 2023, Barvinok left the American Mathematical Society by refusing to renew his membership in protest of its non-opposition to "DEI statements" and "compelled language", referencing his experiences in the Soviet Union. [6]
Cleve Barry Moler is an American mathematician and computer programmer specializing in numerical analysis. In the mid to late 1970s, he was one of the authors of LINPACK and EISPACK, Fortran libraries for numerical computing. He invented MATLAB, a numerical computing package, to give his students at the University of New Mexico easy access to these libraries without writing Fortran. In 1984, he co-founded MathWorks with Jack Little to commercialize this program.
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is the largest conference for the topic of mathematics. It meets once every four years, hosted by the International Mathematical Union (IMU).
Donald Gene Saari is an American mathematician, a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Economics and former director of the Institute for Mathematical Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, Irvine.
