Professor
Smale received his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1957, and
within four years became a full Professor at Columbia University. In 1964, he was named a Professor at the University
of California, Berkeley, and held the post for 30 years before joining
City University of Hong Kong as a Distinguished University Professor.
Professor
Smale has made significant contributions in the fields of dynamical
systems, geometry, econometrics, operations research, topology and
the mathematical theory of computer science. In 1966, Professor Smale
won a Fields Medal—an international medal awarded once every four
years for outstanding discoveries in mathematics.
This honor is comparable to a Nobel Prize and is traditionally awarded
to mathematicians under 40 years of age. Other important
honors bestowed upon Professor Smale during his distinguished academic
career include the 1965 Veblen Prize for Geometry, the 1988 Chauvenet
Prize awarded by the Mathematical Association of America, and the
1989 Von Neumann Award awarded by the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics.
Professor
Smale is a member of both the National Academy of Sciences and the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences. |
