Cameron Leigh Stewart is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Cameron Leigh Stewart as Canadian mathematician.
Cameron Leigh Stewart was born in 1949. His recorded nationality is Canada. He studied at University of British Columbia and McGill University.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at University of Waterloo.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (1989) and J.T. Knight Prize (1974).
That the work was done from Canada matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
