|
| Calderon, Alberto P.
| (Ph.D. 1951, The University of Chicago).
| Calderón's influence on analysis and related areas is due in large part to the many methods that he invented and
perfected. In modern Fourier analysis, theorems are usually less important than the techniques developed to prove
them. Calderón's techniques have been absorbed as standard tools of harmonic analysis and are now propagating into
nonlinear analysis, partial differential equations, complex analysis, and even signal processing and numerical
analysis.

on student learning, on the use of varied teaching techniques by mathematics teachers who have had a course using
reform strategies, and on increasing access to upper-level mathematics courses.

reservoirs. When analyzed mathematically, data about how seismic waves propagate and scatter below the earth's
surface can be used to formulate a picture of the subsurface geology. Ruth's work involves developing the
mathematics behind the computer programs that perform calculations and produce diagrams and images used in making
decisions about drilling and exploration.

| Uribe-Ahumada, Alejandro A.
| (Ph.D. 1982, MIT).
| I am generally interested in global questions in analysis, as they relate to geometry and also to mathematical
physics. I have been working on spectral problems for operators like the Laplacian or the Schrodinger operator, in
situations where the spectrum is discrete. For the Laplacian, I am interested in the question of how its spectrum and
eigenfunctions relate to the geometry of the given manifold; for the Schrodinger operator I am interested in the
relationship between its spectrum and eigenfunctions and the corresponding classical mechanical system. The first of
these problems belongs to the general question of "can you hear the shape of a drum?", while the other arises in
mathematical physics.
