Salah Baouendi
Mohammed Salah Baouendi (born October 12, 1937 in Tunis , † December 24, 2011 in La Jolla , California ) was a Tunisian - American mathematician who dealt with analysis.
Life
Baouendi attended high school and studied in France , where he graduated from the Sorbonne in 1961 and received his doctorate in 1967 with Bernard Malgrange at the University of Paris-South in Orsay ( Sur une Classe d'Opérateurs Elliptiques Dégénérés ). He was then a professor at the Universities of Nice , Tunis and Paris before going to the USA. In 1972 he became a professor at Purdue University , where he was also temporarily head of the mathematics faculty. From 1988 he was a professor at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). He was also visiting professor at the University of Chicago and Rutgers University . He dealt in particular with complex analysis and partial differential equations .
His second marriage was to the mathematician Linda Rothschild , with whom he also worked. In 2003 they both received the Stefan Bergman Prize for their work on CR manifolds (Cauchy-Riemann manifolds), which include real submanifolds of complex manifolds or manifolds with a similar structure ( inherited from the complex manifold ).
In 1969 he received the Prix d'Aumale from the Académie des Sciences . In 1974 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Vancouver ( On a class of Fuchsian types partial differential operators ). He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences .
He was on the Council ( Board of Trustees ) of the American Mathematical Society , was for many years US representative in the International Mathematical Union and chairman of the US National Committee for Mathematics . He was the founder and co-editor of Communications in Partial Differential Equations and Mathematical Research Letters .
From his first marriage he had a son, Moungi Bawendi , and a daughter.
