Doron Zeilberger is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Doron Zeilberger as Israeli mathematician.
Doron Zeilberger was born at Haifa in 1950. His recorded nationality is Israel. He studied at Weizmann Institute of Science.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Rutgers University.
The recorded fields of work are combinatorics.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: Euler Medal (2004), David P. Robbins Prize (2016) and Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research (1998).
That the work was done from Israel matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
