2005 CS&E Prize Honors Multilevel Methods Pioneer
June 10, 2005
For "pioneering modern multilevel methods, from multigrid solvers for partial differential equations to multiscale techniques for statistical physics," Achi Brandt of the Weizmann Institute of Science is the 2005 recipient of the SIAM/ACM Prize in Computational Science and Engineering. The prize was awarded at the third SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, held in Orlando, February 12�15. Brandt, who was also cited "for influencing almost every aspect of contemporary computational science and engineering," provided SIAM News with the following perspective of the area in which his work has been so influential.
