FACES 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. "I think it is true that most people know that there is research in physics and chemistry there are new thing to be discovered but that they view mathematics as a working language that has been worked out once and for all by the Ancient Greeks, with a few bits by Sir Isaac Newton, and that what they learnt at school was mathematics. So how can you go on doing mathematics? People ask me ``What do you do? How can you discover theorems?'' It is a very difficult concept that it is still developing. People think of it as a language that has all been written down. "I was always very attracted to geometry: I liked geometry because of its concrete nature, but I realised that you had to apply a variety of tools in order to make progress. That became the guiding thread through most of my subsequent life. I'm still doing geometry in the broad sense, but I discovered that to do geometry you had to do almost everything else as well: you get involved with topology, differential geometry, algebra, mathematical physics, you name it: but in some sense I still regard myself as a geometer.

Sir Michael Atiyah - the science of equations For over thirty years Sir Michael Atiyah has been recognized as the leader of mathematical research in Britain. His work spans many branches of mathematics, and in many cases his contributions have laid the foundations of wholly new areas of research. His best known achievements, K-Theory (from 1958) and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem of 1962 succeeded in linking the separate disciplines of geometry, topology, algebra and calculus. This unrivalled ability to cross mathematical boundaries and reveal connections between disparate subjects is enhanced by his practice of collaborating with mathematicians from many different fields. Professor Atiyah has also been very active in promoting mathematics internationally. In 1978 he was influential in setting up and chairing the European Mathematical Council which eventually led to the establishment of the European Mathematical Society. In 1990 Professor Atiyah became Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, Director of the new Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences and President of the Royal Society. He is now retired and an honorary Professor at the University of Edinburgh. Recently, the focus of Atiyah's work has shifted to mathematical physics, developing links between geometry and particle physics. This work has in turn been used by physicists in the construction of fundamental new theories.

Sir Michael Atiyah Sir Michael Atiyah received the Fields Medal in 1966 at the early age of 37 for his work in topology. He is one of the pioneers in the development of the K-theory. Moreover, the K-Theory and the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem linked the areas of geometry, topology, algebra, and calculus. His current work involves mathematical physics and the relationship between geometry and particle physics.

The Official String Theory Web Site People Sir Michael Atiyah on math, physics and fun here Sir Michael, what led you to become a mathematician? Well, I think I was always interested in mathematics when I was a boy, and good at it, I enjoyed it, but there was a time when I wanted to become a chemist. And I oscillated between mathematics and chemistry. But one year advanced chemistry was enough for me. You had to memorize so much stuff. In mathematics all you had to know was a few principles and figure it out yourself. It's so much easier. Was it organic chemistry that got to you? No, it was inorganic. It was how to make sulfuric acid and all that sort of stuff. Lists of facts, just facts, you had to memorize a vast amount of material. Organic chemistry was more interesting, there was a bit of structure to it. But inorganic chemistry was just a mountain of facts in books like this. It's true that in mathematics you don't really need an enormous memory. You can work most things out for yourself, remember a few principles. If you're good at that, then it comes easily. If you want to do other things, you've got to work hard to learn a lot of facts. There was one reason, I think. But I enjoy thinking, I'm good at it, and will continue with it.

Fields Medals 1966 Michael Francis ATIYAH born April 22, 1929, London Oxford University Did joint work with Hirzebruch in K -theory; proved jointly with Singer the index theorem of elliptic operators on complex manifolds; worked in collaboration with Bott to prove a fixed point theorem related to the "Lefschetz formula". Paul Joseph COHEN born April 2, 1934, Long Branch, New Jersey Stanford University Used technique called "forcing" to prove the independence in set theory of the axiom of choice and of the generalized continuum hypothesis. The latter problem was the first of Hilbert's problems of the 1900 Congress. Alexander GROTHENDIECK born March 28, 1928, Berlin University of Paris Built on work of Weil and Zariski and effected fundamental advances in algebraic geometry. He introduced the idea of K -theory (the Grothendieck groups and rings). Revolutionized homological algebra in his celebrated "Tohoku paper". Stephen SMALE born July 15, 1930, Flint, Michigan University of California, Berkeley n >=5: Every closed, n -dimensional manifold homotopy-equivalent to the n -dimensional sphere is homeomorphic to it. Introduced the method of handle-bodies to solve this and related problems.

18. Michael Atiyah Sir michael atiyah. In the course of an immensely distinguished careermichael atiyah has received too many honours to enumerate. http://www.acmedsci.ac.uk/fmedsci/h_atiyah.htm

Sir Michael Atiyah Citation by Professor Peter Lachmann In the course of an immensely distinguished career Michael Atiyah has received too many honours to enumerate. However his election to Honorary Fellowship by the Academy of Medical Sciences must be unusual in that the electing body is unable to evaluate - or, with few exceptions, even to understand - his achievements in his primary field of intellectual endeavour - mathematics. When he was awarded the Fields medal – the equivalent in mathematics of the Nobel prize – in 1966 at the early age of 37, the citation - not made easier to understand by being written partly in mathematical symbols and otherwise in French - is nevertheless clearly a highly admiring appraisal of his work on La K-theorie; le theoreme de l'indice; and les formules de points fixes. These appraisals I will not attempt to paraphrase but it is worth quoting the conclusion: that Michael Atiyah has made major contributions bringing together the fields of topology and of analysis; and that Michael Atiyah combines clarity of view and all-embracing vision with the creative imagination and the perseverance which are required to produce great achievements.
