David Bryant Mumford (born 11 June 1937) is an American mathematician known for his work in algebraic geometry and then for research into vision and pattern theory. He won the Fields Medal and was a MacArthur Fellow. In 2010 he was awarded the National Medal of Science.
Jun 7, 2024 · David Mumford, British-born mathematician who was awarded the Fields Medal in 1974 for his work in algebraic geometry. In some of his early work, Mumford took up David Hilbert’s theory of invariants and applied it to new geometric problems couched in Alexandre Grothendieck’s theory of schemes.
David Mumford is an English-born American mathematician who won a Fields Medal for his work on algebraic geometry.
Jan 3, 2024 · Specifically, I discuss the evolution of language models and the quest for human-level AI, the scientific dimensions of consciousness, the elusive nature of "now" in consciousness, and the enigma of so-called cat-states in quantum theory.
The History of Mathematics is usually taught from a very Western-centric point of view. Without a doubt the Greek contributions were huge, but once you open your mind to the fact that mathematical truth can and has been discovered by many routes other than Euclid-style proofs (think of calculus in the 17th-18th century), you find a much richer ...
I have divided my material into four categories: algebraic geometry, vision, “beyond research” (topics such as history of math, philosophy of math, and math education that are neither pure nor applied math) and a blog for expressing ideas more informally.
David Mumford is a mathematician renowned for major contributions to two different fields. His development of geometric invariant theory in algebraic geometry is currently being applied to the quantum field theory of elementary particles.
