Endre Szemerédi will receive the 2012 Abel Prize, perhaps the most prestigious annual award in mathematics. Tim Gowers has a nice summary of his work.

ReplyDeleteSzemeredi's Abel Prize is a great news, I'm surprised it's not more discussed in the community. It's not only the first winner in discrete maths, but it's also the first winner with any connection to CS. The citation starts with "for his fundamental contributions to discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science" Wow!
