Jason P. Miller

American mathematician

Jason P. Miller is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.

The record lists Jason P. Miller as American mathematician.

Jason P. Miller was born in 1950. His recorded nationality is United States. He studied at Stanford University and University of Michigan.

Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.

Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.

The honours record reads: Rollo Davidson Prize (2015), Whitehead Prize (2016), Clay Research Award (2017) and Leonard Eisenbud Prize for Mathematics and Physics (2023).

That the work was done from United States matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
