Stephen Smale (born July 15, 1930) is an American mathematician, known for his research in topology, dynamical systems and mathematical economics.
Stephen Smale, American mathematician who was awarded the Fields Medal in 1966 for his work on topology in higher dimensions. He notably constructed a function, the horseshoe, that serves as a paradigm for chaos.
Smale was an instructor at the University of Chicago in 1956-58. In 1958 Smale learnt about Pontryagin 's work on structurally stable vector fields and he began to apply topological methods to study the these problems.
