30. Apr. 2024 · Peter Lax (born May 1, 1926, Budapest, Hung.) is a Hungarian-born American mathematician awarded the 2005 Abel Prize “for his groundbreaking contributions to the theory and applications of partial differential equations and to the computation of their solutions.”
Peter D. Lax has been described as the most versatile mathematician of his generation. The impressive list above by no means states all of his achievements. His use of geometric optics to study the propagation of singularities inaugurated the theory of Fourier Integral Operators.
