AnalysisDifferential equations and dynamical systemsTopology
American mathematician who made foundational contributions to harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, and several major geometric problems.
Charles Fefferman developed sharp tools for several complex variables, singular integrals, and partial differential equations. His work on the disc multiplier and restriction phenomena revealed deep links between Fourier analysis and geometry. He received the 1978 Fields Medal.
