David Bryant Mumford (born 11 June 1937) is an American mathematician known for his work in algebraic geometry and then for research into vision and pattern theory. He won the Fields Medal and was a MacArthur Fellow. In 2010 he was awarded the National Medal of Science.
I have divided my material into four categories: algebraic geometry, vision, “beyond research” (topics such as history of math, philosophy of math, and math education that are neither pure nor applied math) and a blog for expressing ideas more informally.
Jan 3, 2024 · To make middle and high school math work it is essential to get students (or most of them anyway) to see how formulas are useful and intuitive ways to see how numbers in their real lives are connected to each other.
Jun 7, 2024 · David Mumford, British-born mathematician who was awarded the Fields Medal in 1974 for his work in algebraic geometry. In some of his early work, Mumford took up David Hilbert’s theory of invariants and applied it to new geometric problems couched in Alexandre Grothendieck’s theory of schemes.
