Starting Spring 2006, Evan Pugh
Professor George Andrews
of The Pennsylvania State University will be a Distinguished
Visiting Professor in the Department of Mathematics each year
in the Spring term for two months.
Professor Andrews, who is the world's greatest authority in the
theory of partitions and the work of Ramanujan, has had a long
association with our department. He has strong
research collaboration
with our number theory group, and has visited the University of Florida
many times over the past decade to give featured colloquium and
seminar talks as well as plenary talks at conferences in Gainesville.
In view of his eminence and his association with our department,
the University of Florida awarded him an Honorary Doctorate in
December 2002.
Professor Andrews was elected to the National Academy of Sciences
in 2003. In this connection a biography of Professor Andrews has
appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy, in which his ties to our university and department are
mentioned.
We are immensely pleased that he will be a Distinguished Visiting
Professor each Spring Term.
