Luis Caffarelli is a leading mathematician who conducts specialized partial differential equations that can be used to describe various phenomena, such as the flow of water or the growth of population groups. This evening, three mathematicians from Caffarelli's field inform you about the possibilities and applications of this theory and Caffarelli's contributions to it.
The Abel Prize was established in 2003 on the 200th anniversary of the birth of Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829), a Norwegian calculator. On May 23, 2023, Luis Caffarelli, professor at The University of Texas at Austin, received the award from the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters.
