Ronald DeVore
Ronald Alvin DeVore (born May 14, 1941 in Detroit ) is an American mathematician who deals with numerical mathematics .
De Vore graduated from Eastern Michigan University with a bachelor's degree in 1964 and received his PhD from Ohio State University in 1967 . From 1968 he was an assistant professor at Oakland University , where he became an associate professor in 1970 and a professor in 1974. From 1977 he is a professor at the University of South Carolina , from 1986 as Robert L. Sumwalt Professor . From 1999 to 2005 he was director of the Industrial Mathematics Institute there, which he founded. In 2005 he retired. Since 2008 he has been a Walter E. Koss Professor at Texas A&M University . Among other things, he was visiting professor at the University of Paris VI , the University of Wisconsin , the University of Bonn , the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (1975/76), the RWTH Aachen (2002), the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (1984), the Princeton University , at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University (2006/07).
De Vore dealt with many areas of applied mathematics such as numerics of partial differential equations, learning algorithms, approximation of functions, wavelet transformations, statistics.
In 2006 he gave a plenary lecture at the ICM (Optimal Computation).
In 2004 he received an honorary doctorate from RWTH Aachen University . In 2002 he received the Humboldt Research Award and in 1975/76 he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. He has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 2001 and of the National Academy of Sciences since 2017 . In 2009 he received the Chair of Excellence of the Science of Mathematics Foundation of Paris. He has been a member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences since 2007 and in 2001 received the Bulgarian Gold Medal for Sciences. In 2007 he received the SPIE Wavelet Pioneer Award. He is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
