Description
Book description:
A quiet revolution in mathematical computing and scientific visualization took place in the latter half of the 20th century. These developments have dramatically enhanced modes of mathematical insight and opportunities for "exploratory" computational experimentation. This volume collects the experimental and computational contributions of Jonathan and Pe-ter Borwein over the past quarter century.
Author information: Jonathan Borwein is Laureate Professor at University of Newcastle, having previously held Canada Research Chairs at Dalhousie and Simon Fraser where he was also Shrum Chair of Science and founding director of the Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathemat-ics. A Rhodes scholar who has won various academic awards for science and for exposition, he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Australian and Bulgarian Academies of Science, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His primary re-search interests are in optimization and in functional analysis. He has authored several hun-dred research papers and over a dozen books.
Peter Borwein is the Founder and Executive Codirector of the IRMACS Research Center at Simon Fraser University. He holds a Burnaby Mountain Chair and is an award-winning mathematician (Chauvet, Ford, and Hasse Prizes, CUFA BC Academic of the Year). His primary research interests have been in analysis and number theory. He has authored several hundred research papers and over a dozen books. For over 30 years, brothers Jonathan and Peter have collaborated extensively with each other and their father David Borwein.
