Andrew Odlyzko
Andrew Michael Odlyzko ( born July 23, 1949 in Tarnów, Poland) was Head of the Department " Mathematics of Communications and Computer Systems" at AT & T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He is also a professor of mathematics at the School of Mathematics at the University of Minnesota. In 2001, he was founding director of the interdisciplinary Digital Technology Center, University of Minnesota, which he directed, among other leadership positions until 2008.
Life and work
Odlyzko studied at Caltech ( master's degree, 1971) and a doctorate in 1975 in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge at Harold Stark ( Lower Bounds for Discriminants of Number Fields). He then worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories, particularly in the areas of complexity theory, cryptography, number theory, combinatorics, coding theory, analysis, and probability theory.
In 1985, he was able to rebut the presumption Mertensche together with Herman te Riele. In the same year he improved with Jeffrey Lagarias and Victor S. Miller, the chisel - Lehmersche method for computing the prime number and calculated. Also with Lagarias 1987 he published an analytical method for the Bitkompliziertheit. Odlyzko worked at AT & T Bell Labs (later AT & T Labs renamed) also to the study of the zeros of the zeta function with after 1988, together with Arnold Schönhage a very efficient method for simultaneous calculation of the values of the zeta function for equidistant arguments by rapid Fourier transform was developed. With the help of powerful computer he charged up to zero points and their distances evaluated statistically.
Odlyzko was an invited speaker at the ICM 1986 in Berkeley (New analytic algorithms in number theory ). In 2000 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Marne -La -Vallee. He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
He is the owner and co-owner of three patents.
His publications in the 1990s over telecommunications networks, electronic publishing, electronic commerce, economics of data networks, etc., were observed, expressed his theses there came but due in part to opposition. He is currently working on a book that compares the Internet euphoria with the British railway financial bubble of the 1840s and examines implications for future technology expansion.
