| | |
| ==Biography==
| |
| | |
| ===Academic career===
| |
| Leon Simon, born July 6, 1945, received his B.Sc from the [[University of Adelaide]] in 1967, and his Ph.D. in 1971 from the same institution, under the direction of [[James H. Michael]]. His doctoral thesis was titled ''Interior Gradient Bounds for Non-Uniformly Elliptic Equations''. He was employed from 1968 to 1971 as a Tutor in Mathematics by the University.
| |
| | |
| Simon has since held a variety of academic positions. He worked first at [[Flinders University]] as a lecturer, then at [[Australian National University]] as a professor, at the [[University of Melbourne]], the [[University of Minnesota]], at [[ETH Zurich]], and at Stanford. He first came to Stanford in 1973 as Visiting Assistant Professor and was awarded a full professorship in 1986.
| |
| | |
| ===Honours===
| |
| In 1983 Simon was awarded the [[Australian Mathematical Society Medal]]. In the same year he was elected as a [[List of Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science|Fellow]] of the [[Australian Academy of Science]].
| |
| In 1994, he was awarded the [[Bôcher Memorial Prize]].<ref name="bprize"/><ref name="bbio">See his brief biography {{harv|Walker|2006}}.</ref><ref name="ebio">See his [http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Simon.html extended biography] at the [[MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive]].</ref> The Bôcher Prize is awarded every five years to a groundbreaking author in [[mathematical analysis|analysis]]. In the same year he was also elected a [[fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences]].<ref name="bbio"/><ref name="ebio"/> In May 2003 he was elected a [[fellow of the Royal Society]].<ref>See the list of {{cite web | url=http://royalsociety.org/about-us/fellowship/fellows/|title= Fellows|publisher= Royal Society |accessdate = 15 October 2010}} available at the [[Royal Society]] web site.</ref> In 2012 he became a fellow of the [[American Mathematical Society]].<ref>[http://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list List of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society], retrieved 2013-07-20.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Work==
| |
| | |
| ===Research activity===
| |
| He has an [[Erdős number]] of 3. He has authored several mathematics textbooks, including the ''Lectures on Geometric Measure Theory''<ref>This is basically a textbook describing many results in [[geometric measure theory]] and the mathematical tools used in this field: see {{harv|Simon|1984}}.</ref> and ''An Introduction to Multivariable Mathematics''. He published the [[monograph]] ''Theorems on regularity and singularity of energy minimizing maps'' in 1996, based in part on lectures he gave at [[Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule]] (ETH) in Zürich.
| |
| | |
| ===Teaching activity===
| |
| Simon has more than 100 'mathematical descendants', according to the [[Mathematics Genealogy Project]].<ref>See the entry "''[http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=38879 Leon M. Simon]''" at the [[Mathematics Genealogy Project]].</ref> Among his doctoral students there is [[Richard Schoen]], a former winner of the Bôcher Memorial Prize.
