Marcus du Sautoy

Marcus Peter Francis du Sautoy OBE ( born August 26, 1965 in London ) is a British mathematician and author of popular science books about mathematics.

Life

You Sautoy grew up in Henley-on -Thames and studied at Oxford University ( All Souls College, Wadham College), where he earned his doctorate at Dan Segal. He is a professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of New College. In addition, since 2008 he is the successor of Richard Dawkins in the Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford. He is also a Senior Media Fellow of the EPSRC ( the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council ). He has been a visiting scientist and visiting professor at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, the Australian National University in Canberra and the Hebrew University. He was Royal Society Research Fellow at Oxford. He is married, has three children and lives in London ( 2008).

You Sautoy is primarily concerned with the fields of number theory and group theory. He gained with the book The Music of the Primes on the Riemann Hypothesis awareness. Another book on group theory (specifically the moonshine properties of the so-called group of monsters ) appeared in 2007. He also writes for The Times, Daily Telegraph, The Independent and The Guardian and appears in television series and radio programs by the BBC, among others, the four -part series The Story of Maths 2008 on BBC four. He is also a popular math lectures for Audited that (shirt, for example, is a lecture Why Beckham choose the 23) of bankers to schoolchildren rich. In Britain, it is very popular and was counted from the Independent on Sunday of the leading scientists of the country and by Esquire Magazine in 2004 among the 100 most important people under 40 years in the UK. The Telegraph described him as a champion of " Romance and Mystery" of mathematics.

In 2006 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid (Zeta functions of groups and rings, with Fritz Grunewald). He is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.
