...Michael Atiyah is a British mathematician who made field-changing discoveries in string theory and superspace beginning over four decades ago. After winning the Fields Medal in 1966 for his work on topological K-Theory, Atiyah continued to revolutionize mathematical subfields, including geometry and theoretical physics. The Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem, which he developed with MIT’s Isadore M. Singer, earned the duo the 2004 Abel Prize, given by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters...
...Jean arrived at Harvard at age 16, already a deft mathematician. He says of the “Simpsons” characters he is most like brainy Lisa, who is also his favorite to write...
MARCH 7, 2006 The first meeting since Summers’ resignation was closed to both the president and the media. Professors discussed charges of anti-Semitism that had been tossed about, with mathematician Wilfried Schmid telling Wisse to “stop poisoning the atmosphere at this university...

For example, my roommate is one of the smartest and kindest people I know, equally capable of solving Ec 10 p-sets and romantic problems. My blockmate, Samir, is a brilliant mathematician and will probably run the World Bank someday—that is, if he’s not an ESPN commentator. I never would have become interested in NCAA sports or understood divisibility rules without him. My uberhip chemisty-concentrating music editor, Fritz, lectures me with equal expertise on everything from...
