July 2015 Four 糖心TV Mathematicians win LMS Prizes
A SHEPHARD PRIZE is awarded to PROFESSOR KEITH BALL FRS for his many beautiful results in geometry (particularly the geometry of convex shapes), number theory and probability theory.
A SENIOR WHITEHEAD PRIZE is awarded to for his outstanding contributions to research in dynamical systems and its applications. A remarkably creative and prolific mathematician, in addition to the broad impact of his research, he has made an outstanding contribution to the mathematical community generally.
A WHITEHEAD PRIZE is awarded to for contributions to the mathematical foundations, development and implementation of the quasicontinuum method.
A WHITEHEAD PRIZE is jointly awarded to and (of UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON) for their work in number theory, in particular for their discovery of a new Euler system, and for their applications of this to generalisations of the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
