Jack K. Hale

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jack Kenneth Hale (born October 3, 1928 in Dudley , Kentucky , † December 9, 2009 in Atlanta , Georgia ) was an American applied mathematician who dealt with differential equations and dynamic systems.

Life

Hale attended Berea College in Kentucky with a bachelor's degree in 1949 and studied at Purdue University , where he received his doctorate in 1953 with Lamberto Cesari ( On the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of systems of differential equations ). He then served until 1954 Instructor at Purdue University, from 1954 to 1957 at the Sandia Corporation , from 1957 to 1958 in the Univac Department of Remington Rand Corporation and from 1958 to 1964 when Martin Corporation at the Research Institute for Advanced Study . In 1964 he became Professor of Applied Mathematics at Brown University and from 1988 he was Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology .

He has multiple honorary doctorates ( Rostock , Stuttgart , Technical University of Lisbon , Gent , Clark University ). He had 47 PhD students.

In 1965 he and Joseph P. LaSalle received the Chauvenet Prize (for Differential Equations: Linearity vs. Nonlinearity ). He was a Guggenheim Fellow , a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and a member of the Brazilian and Polish Academies of Science.
