Professor Sir John Ball FRS (University of Oxford) past-President (1996-1998) of the London Mathematical Society has received the 2018 King Faisal International Prize (Science). The Society extends its congratulations to Sir John on receiving this award. The Prize is awarded by the King Faisal Foundation and the Science subcategories cover a range of disciplines, alternating between physics, chemistry, biology and mathematics, with the Prize for Science first awarded in 1984.
The Prize Committee has recommended to award the 2024 Louis Bachelier Prize to Professor Peter Tankov.
Peter Tankov is a mathematician with expertise in applied probability and stochastic modelling. He is currently Professor of Quantitative Finance at ENSAE - Institut Polytechnique de Paris (France).
Tankov’s research contributions in applied probability, computational finance and mathematical modelling in finance, have been influential both in academia and among market practitioners and regulators. His research has spanned a broad set of topics, including
The 2024 LMS Prize winners were announced at the Society Meeting on Friday 28 June 2024. The LMS extends its congratulations to this year’s prize winners for their continued contributions to mathematics.
Professor Gui-Qiang G. Chen of the University of Oxford is awarded the Pólya Prize for his deep research into nonlinear partial differential equations, and in particular his rigorous theoretical analysis of the equations of gas dynamics, especially those involving transonic flows
