The world’s top maths prize is being awarded to Hebrew University Professor Hillel Furstenberg, the first Israeli to win the prize! The Abel Prize, often referred to as the Nobel of Mathematics, was established to recognise contributions that are of “extraordinary depth and influence.”
“Furstenberg and Margulis stunned the mathematical world by their ingenious use of probabilistic methods and random walks to solve deep problems in diverse areas of mathematics,” shared Hans Munthe-Kaas, Chair of the Abel committee. “They brought down the traditional wall between pure and applied mathematics,” he continued, “and opened up a wealth of new results…with applications to communication technology and computer science.”
