Charles EM Pearce
Charles Edward Miller Pearce (born March 29, 1940 in Wellington , † June 8, 2012 in Westland National Park ) was a New Zealand mathematician.
Pearce studied mathematics and physics at the Victoria University of Wellington with a master’s degree in 1962 and received his doctorate in 1965 from the Australian National University (ANU) under Pat Moran ( moving average processes in queuing theory ). He was then a lecturer at the ANU, visiting professor at the University of Queensland , at the University of Rennes 1 and a lecturer at the University of Sheffield (1966 to 1968) and was from 1968 at the University of Adelaide , where he was Senior Lecturer in 1971, 1982 Reader and became a professor in 2003. He died in a car accident near Fox Glacier (his car, in which he was sitting alone (there were no witnesses), collided with a bridge driveway at night and fell into the Manakaiua River).
In 2001 he received the ANZIAM Medal (ANZIAM stands for Australia and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics ), in the establishment of which he played an important role, and in 2007 the Potts Award from the Australian Society for Operations Research for research in applied mathematics and operations research and was a fellow the New Zealand Mathematical Society and the Australian Mathematical Society. Pearce dealt with convex analysis (publication of a monograph on the Hermite-Hadamard inequality), optimization and stochastic modeling of physical and biological processes (for example traffic flows, telecommunications, urban planning, queuing theory ).
He was the founding editor of the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ANZIAM Journal).
