Three members of the Math Department at WashU, Steven Krantz, Richard Rochberg, and Guido Weiss, will be officially inducted into the Fellows of the AMS program early in January, at a ceremony in conjunction with the 2013 Joint Mathematics Meetings in San Diego.
Regarding the new Fellows of the AMS program and the Society, AMS President Eric M. Friedlander says, "The AMS is the world's largest and most influential society dedicated to mathematical research, scholarship, and education. Recent advances in mathematics include solutions to age-old problems and key applications useful for society. The new AMS Fellows Program recognizes some of the most accomplished mathematicians, AMS members who have contributed to our understanding of deep and important mathematical questions, to applications throughout the scienfitic world, and to educational excellence."
