Dynamics and Bifurcation in Networks

Martin Golubitsky is on the Emeritus Faculty of The Ohio State University where he served as Distinguished Professor of Mathematical and Physical Sciences. Formerly, he was Cullen Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of Houston. He is author or co-author of more than 150 publications on Lie algebras, singularity theory, bifurcation theory, pattern formation, chaos, network dynamics, and applications, and he has coauthored six books on these topics. Professor Golubitsky is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, AAAS, SIAM, and AMS. He was chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems and of the AAAS Section A. He was director of the Mathematical Biosciences Institute, founding editor-in-chief of SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, and president of SIAM. He has delivered more than 500 invited lectures. His awards include the UH Farfel Award, the SIAM Moser Lecture Prize, and the Rothschild Professorship and Lecture at the University of Cambridge. Ian Stewart, FRS, is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Warwick. He is author or co-author of more than 200 research papers on Lie algebras, singularity theory, pattern formation, chaos, network dynamics, and biomathematics and has published more than 130 books. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society and served on Council, its governing body. He has five honorary doctorates. Professor Stewart wrote the Mathematical Recreations column for Scientific American from 1990 to 2001. He has made 90 television appearances and 450 radio broadcasts, most of them about mathematics for the general public, and has delivered hundreds of public lectures on mathematics. His awards include the Royal Society's Faraday Medal, the Gold Medal of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Zeeman Medal (IMA and London Mathematical Society), the Lewis Thomas Prize (Rockefeller University), and the Euler Book Prize (Mathematical Association of America).
