Lax wurde im Jahr 1926 in Budapest geboren, aber die Familie musste 1941 Ungarn verlassen, um dem Holocaust zu entgehen. Damit dürfte Peter Lax heute der letzte überlebende Mathematiker der großen Emigrationswelle sein, die mathematische Talente wie Richard Courant, Kurt-Otto Friedrichs und eben Peter Lax aus Europa nach den USA schwemmte.
Peter D. Lax has made numerous discoveries and contributions in the fields of computational mathematics, integrable systems, solitonic physics and fluid dynamics and shock waves. He is credited with a number of methods and theories including the Lax-Milgram Lemma, the Lax Equivalence Theorem, the Lax-Friedrichs Scheme, the Lax-Wendroff Scheme, the Lax Entropy Condition and the Lax-Levermore ...
Peter Lax. Peter David Lax (born 1 May 1926 in Budapest, Hungary) is a mathematician working in the areas of pure and applied mathematics. He has made important contributions to integrable systems, fluid dynamics and shock waves, solitonic physics, hyperbolic conservation laws, and mathematical and scientific computing, among other fields.

Mit Peter Lax kam 2010 einer der grössten lebenden Mathematiker nach Bern. Der gebürtige Ungare emigrierte 1941 mit seiner Familie auf der Flucht vor den Nationalsozialisten in die USA. Dort studierte er Mathematik an der New York University und arbeitete 1945/46 am so genannten Manhattan Project in Los Alamos mit, welches der Entwicklung und dem Bau der ersten Atombombe diente. Seit 1958 ...
Peter Lax is a mathematician with a fascinating life history and a spectacularly successful professional career at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Reuben Hersh, one of Peter's many students, gives us a lively and beautifully illustrated biography. This book brings out both the personal and professional aspects of Peter's work in a captivating manner. It is a great read for ...
10. Apr. 2014 · Peter Lax. Peter Lax’s mathematical work is a harmonious combination of pure and applied: an elegant geometric, functional-analytic style of attacking hard problems in physics and in practical computing. “I like to start with some phenomenon, the more striking the better, and then use mathematics to try to understand it,” he said.
