ICIAM Lagrange Prize
awarded to Alexandre J. Chorin (Berkeley, USA).
The Lagrange Prize was established to provide international recognition to individual
mathematicians who have made an exceptional contribution to applied
mathematics throughout their careers.
It was created on the initiative of SMAI,
SEMA
and SIMAI and first awarded in 1999.
Carrying a cash award of USD 3000,
the Lagrange Prize is presently funded by the three member societies SMAI,
SEMA
and SIMAI.
Alexandre J. Chorin of University of California Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
receives the 2011 ICIAM Lagrange Prize in recognition of his fundamental and original contributions to
applied mathematics, fluid mechanics, statistical mechanics, and turbulence modelling.
His methods for the numerical solution of Navier–Stokes equations stand at the basis of the most popular codes in computational fluid mechanics.

ICIAM Maxwell Prize
awarded to Vladimir Rokhlin (New Haven, USA).
The Maxwell Prize was established to provide international recognition to a
mathematician who has demonstrated originality in applied mathematics.
It was created on the initiative of the IMA
(with the support of the
J.C. Maxwell Society),
and first awarded in 1999.
Carrying a cash award of USD 1000,
the Maxwell Prize is presently funded by IMA.
Vladimir Rokhlin of Yale University has been selected for the 2011 ICIAM Maxwell Prize for his work on fast multipole methods
which have revolutionized fields like numerical electromagnetism for radar and molecular dynamics for chemistry.
-
ICIAM Pioneer Prize
awarded to
James Albert Sethian (Berkeley, USA).
The Pioneer Prize was established for pioneering work
introducing applied mathematical methods and scientific computing
techniques to an industrial problem area or a new scientific field
of applications.
It was created on the initiative of SIAM, and was first awarded in 1999.
Carrying a cash award of USD 1000,
the Pioneer Prize is presently funded by SIAM.
James Albert Sethian of the University of California Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
receives the 2011 ICIAM Pioneer Prize for his fundamental methods and algorithms which have had a large impact
in applications such as in imaging and shape recovery in medicine, geophysics and tomography and drop dynamics in inkjets.
