Another Abel prize interview
Locked
 
|
Here is another pretty good Abel Prize interview, this one is with Srinivasa
S. R. Varadhan. Around 46 minutes he talks a little bit about work that had ties to the work Reuben did on probabilistic methods for solving PDEs via work with Kac. He does not mention Reuben explicitly, but yeah, good stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q98vh-1Qhv4&ab_channel=TheAbelPrize -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .

mmm... perhaps even better is this one with Reuben's advisor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TU1WNG68YfY&ab_channel=TheAbelPrize He talks about all kinds of good stuff: the work of Richtmyer, solutions, nonlinear approximations, carving semi-groups from unitary Lie groups in the study of scattering, and surprisingly the Riemann hypothesis in terms of decaying signals! -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .

Reuben said he was working on a biography of Peter Lax (his advisor). Does anyone know if he ever finished it? An aside. The first national math meeting I attended was in 1966. It was in San Francisco and I was at Stanford. It was where I finally was able to put faces to names. Peter Lax was one of the first ones I saw — his chin was unmistakable. —Barry On 20 Jan 2021, at 15:21, jon zingale wrote:

I know that Lax reviewed a late draft which suggests it was essentially complete. Frank --- Frank C. Wimberly 140 Calle Ojo Feliz, Santa Fe, NM 87505 505 670-9918 Santa Fe, NM On Thu, Jan 21, 2021, 8:30 AM Barry MacKichan <[hidden email]> wrote:

In reply to this post by Roger Frye-4
I first met Peter Lax when I was a grad student, He and my PhD advisor were good friends and he was visiting our group at USC. It turned out that Peter and I went to the same high school in NY, something he never forgot. I think it was when I was visiting my parents a little later that Peter invited me to give a talk at Courant. It was a pretty scary experience for a young grad student but it went well and we later had a wonderful lunch with his wife in Greenwich Village.
It was much later when I came to NM and met Reuben that we realized our mathematical connections. Ed _______________________ Ed Angel Founding Director, Art, Research, Technology and Science Laboratory (ARTS Lab)

I was volunteering in the public schools tutoring math. Went to a meeting of tutors, met Reuben, and began a long friendship. When I mentioned Reuben at work, one of my colleagues said that he took a math course from Reuben, and what he remembered most was Reuben's enthusiasm.
