Faces Of Mathematics

We take a look at some of the people who’ve made major contributions in the world of mathematics.

Professor Sir Michael Atiyah, University of Edinburgh

Michael Atiyah has made fundamental contributions to many areas of mathematics, but especially to topology, geometry and analysis. From his first major contribution -- topological K-theory - to his more recent work on quantum field theory, Atiyah has been influential in the development of new theoretical tools and has supplied far-reaching insights. He is a notable collaborator, with his name linked with other oustanding mathematcians through their joint research. He was awarded a Fields Medal in 1966, has been President of the Royal Society and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. Atiyah has been the recipient of many honours and awards, including a a knighthood in 1983 and the Order of Merit in 1992.
