Vladimir Maz'ya Awarded Celsius Gold Medal
4 Jun 2004
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce that our colleague Vladimir Maz'ya has been awarded the Celsius Gold Medal of the Swedish Royal Society of Sciences "for his outstanding contribution to the theory of partial differential equations and hydrodynamics". The medal will be presented August 31, 2004 at an award ceremony in Sweden.
The Society was founded in 1710 and is the oldest scholarly society in Sweden. The Gold Medal is the Society's highest award and was initiated in 1960. It is awarded on a rotating basis to different scientific disciplines, going to a mathematician every sixth year. Among previous recepients are L.Carleson, L.Hormander and J.Peetre.
Please join me in congratulating Professor Maz'ya on this wonderful recognition of his work.
Sincerely,
Peter
