ABEL PRIZE

The Abel Prize for mathematics was awarded to Argentine-American Luis Caffarelli.
He is an expert in “partial differential equations” which can explain phenomena ranging from how water flows to population growth.
This type of equation models how several variables change with respect to each other, and play a prominent role in engineering, physics, economics and biology.
