Witten's work has also significantly impacted pure mathematics. [4 ] In 1990, he became the first physicist to be awarded a Fields Medal by the International Mathematical Union, for his mathematical insights in physics, such as his 1981…
Edward Witten (* 26. srpna 1951 Baltimore) je jedním z nejvýznamnějších žijících fyziků a zřejmě vůbec nejcitovanějším z nich (má nejvyšší tzv. Hirschův index).
Edward Witten is an American mathematical physicist who was awarded the Fields Medal in 1990 for his work in superstring theory. He also received the Dirac Medal from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (1985).
Dr. Witten has made significant contributions to theoretical physics for more than 30 years as a leader in the dramatic evolution of superstring theory. Moreover, by applying his physical intuition and mathematical skills, he has advanced…
Edward Witten’s work exhibits a unique combination of mathematical power and physics insight, and his contributions have significantly enriched both fields.
