Babuska Receives 2012 AMS Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement
Jan 5, 2012
Ivo M. Babuska has been awarded the 2012 AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement,
"for his many pioneering advances in the numerical solution of partial differential equations over
the last half century." The prize citation goes on to say: "In his work on finite element methods,
Babuska has developed and applied mathematics in profound ways to develop, analyze, and validate
algorithms which are crucial for computational science and engineering. In so doing, he has helped
to define that field, and has had a great impact on the modern world. A constant characteristic of
Babuska's work is the combination of deep and imaginative mathematical analysis with a constant
concern for the practical implications of his work for engineering applications."
