Shlomo Sternberg

Shlomo Zvi Sternberg ( b. 1936 ) is an American mathematician who deals with differential geometry, Lie groups and symplectic geometry.

Sternberg 1957 at Aurel Wintner at Johns Hopkins University PhD ( Some Problems in Discrete Nonlinear Transformations in One and Two Dimensions ). In 1974 he was Guggenheim Fellow at Harvard University, where he is George Putnam Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics.

Sternberg wrote some popular textbooks.

Publicly known, he was also an opponent of the allegations in the Old Testament, hidden messages would hide ( Bible Code by Michael Drosnin ) that would have been discovered by statistical analysis.

His doctoral counts Victor Guillemin.
