American mathematician (born 1938)
George Eyre Andrews (born December 4, 1938)[ 1] mathematician working inspecial functions ,number theory ,analysis andcombinatorics .
Education and career [ edit ] He is currently an Evan Pugh Professor of Mathematics atPennsylvania State University .[ 2] [ 3] Oregon State University [ 2] University of Pennsylvania where his advisor wasHans Rademacher .[ 1] [ 4]
During 2008–2009 he was president of theAmerican Mathematical Society .[ 5]
Andrews's contributions include several monographs and over 250 research and popular articles onq-series ,special functions ,combinatorics and applications.[ 6] [ 7] integer partitions .[ 1] [ 8] Ramanujan 'sLost Notebook .[ 2] [ 2]
His bookThe Theory of Partitions is the standard reference on the subject ofinteger partitions .[ 1]
He has advanced mathematics in the theories of partitions and q-series. His work at the interface of number theory and combinatorics has also led to many important applications in physics.[ 9]
In 2003 Andrews was elected a member of theNational Academy of Sciences .[ 2] American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1997.[ 10] International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[ 11] American Mathematical Society .[ 12]
He was given honorary doctorates from theUniversity of Parma in 1998, theUniversity of Florida in 2002, theUniversity of Waterloo in 2004,SASTRA University inKumbakonam , India in 2012, andUniversity of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 2014[ 6] [ 13] [ 9]
