Shlomo Sternberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shlomo Zvi Sternberg (* 1936 ) is an American mathematician who studies differential geometry , Lie groups, and symplectic geometry .

life and work

Sternberg received his doctorate in 1957 under Aurel Wintner at Johns Hopkins University ( Some Problems in Discrete Nonlinear Transformations in One and Two Dimensions ). In 1962 he became a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1974 he was a Guggenheim Fellow at Harvard University , where he is the George Putnam Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics.

Sternberg wrote some widely used textbooks and monographs, including on mathematical aspects of celestial mechanics.

Public knowledge, he was also an opponent of the allegations in the Old Testament hidden messages would hide ( Bible Code by Michael Drosnin ) that would have been discovered by statistical analysis.

Victor Guillemin is one of his doctoral students .

Honors

In 1969 Sternberg was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , 1986 to the National Academy of Sciences and 2010 to the American Philosophical Society .
