Maciej Zworski is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Maciej Zworski as Polish/American/Canadian mathematician.
Maciej Zworski was born at Wrocław in 1963. His recorded nationality is Poland. He studied at Imperial College London and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Modern mathematics is collaborative and increasingly computational; proofs can now run to thousands of pages or depend on machine verification.
His academic posts were held at University of California, Berkeley and University of Toronto.
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: Coxeter–James Prize.
That the work was done from Poland matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Maciej Zworski is still working, and the final assessment of the contribution has not been made.
