Thanks to the contributions he has had around probabilities and functional analysis, this Wednesday the French <a href="https://www.archyde.com/abel-prize-2024-to-the-mathematician-michel-talagrand-who-spent-his-career-at-the-cnrs/" title="Abel Prize 2024 to the mathematician Michel Talagrand who spent his career at the CNRS”>Michel Talagrand was awarded in Norway with the Abel Prize, considered by experts as the “Nobel” of mathematics.
“The common theme of Talagrand’s discoveries is working with and understanding the random processes we see around us. A thorough understanding of these phenomena is essential in today’s world.“, stated the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters.
And it is that This result seeks to highlight Talagrand’s talent, given that he is considered an exceptional mathematician, in addition to a great problem solver, who has also reformulated various areas of probability theory and statistics and with a great impact on the world of mathematics and applications.
Talagrand received his doctorate in Mathematics from the University of Paris in 1977 and gained great worldwide repercussion after developing part of his research activity at Ohio State University.
The French succeeds the Argentine in this way Luis Cafferlliwho became the first Latin American to win this prize which is endowed with 7.5 million Norwegian crowns, that is, about 703 thousand dollars, as highlighted by Efe.
The Abel Prize is named in honor of the Norwegian mathematician Nield Henrik Abel, a distinction established by the Parliament of this nation in 2002.
The Abel Committee is made up of five internationally recognized mathematicians, who choose the winner each year.
