Canadian mathematician (1942–2010)
Jerrold Eldon Marsden (August 17, 1942 – September 21, 2010) was a Canadianmathematician . He was the Carl F. Braun Professor of Engineering and Control &Dynamical Systems at theCalifornia Institute of Technology .[ 1] ISI highly cited researcher .[ 2]
Marsden earned his B.Sc. inmathematics at theUniversity of Toronto and his Ph.D. in mathematical physics atPrinceton University in 1968 underArthur S. Wightman .[citation needed Thereafter, he worked at various universities and research institutes in the US, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. He was one of the founders of theFields Institute inToronto , Canada, and directed it until 1994. At theCalifornia Institute of Technology he was the Carl F. Braun Professor of Engineering and Control & Dynamical Systems.[ 1]
Marsden, together withAlan Weinstein , was one of the world leading authorities in mathematical and theoreticalclassical mechanics . He has laid much of the foundation forsymplectic topology . TheMarsden-Weinstein quotient is named after him.
In 1973, Marsden (along withArthur E. Fischer ) won the Gravitational Research Foundation Prize. He was also the recipient of a Carnegie Fellowship in 1977, and a Miller Professorship in 1981-82. Also in 1981, Marsden won theJeffery–Williams Prize . And in 1990, he received theNorbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics, jointly awarded by theSociety for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and theAmerican Mathematical Society . Marsden was honoured "for his outstanding contributions to the study of differential equations in mechanics: he proved the existence of chaos in specific classical differential equations; his work on the momentum map, from abstract foundations to detailed applications, has had great impact."[ 3] Max Planck Research Award for Mathematics and Computer science in 2000.[ 4] John von Neumann Lecture ,[ 5] Fellow of the Royal Society .[ 6] University of Surrey .[ 7]
Marsden died of cancer on September 21, 2010. In 2006 afestschrift was published in honor of Marsden's 60th birthday.[ 8] [ 9]
