标题[宣传] Simons Center for Geometry and Physics
时间Thu Feb 28 11:04:39 2008
庆祝顺便宣传一下新成立的石溪Simons几何与物理中心 (纽约州立石溪大学)
有心出国念理论物理的版友可以考虑申请
一方面石溪不像哈佛那麽难进 也蛮勇於收理论学生的
另一方面据说这个Simons中心研究经费不是普通的充足
小道消息指出Simons中心已经请到Rutgers弦论家Michael R. Douglas当主任
不出几年应该会很热闹吧
我就不继续老王卖瓜了 有兴趣的朋友可以跟我讨论
(当然我这小咖不能帮忙牵线 但是回答一些问题还是可以的)
$60 Million Gift for Stony Brook
James H. Simons, a math professor-turned-hedge fund manager, is giving Stony
Brook University $60 million, its largest gift ever and the largest gift to
any public university in the state.
“The donation will bolster New York’s efforts to become a leader in
innovation and excellence in higher education,” said Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who
is to formally announce the gift Wednesday morning in New York City, along
with university officials and Mr. Simons and his wife, Marilyn.
The new gift will be used for the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at
Stony Brook, where Mr. Simons served as chairman of the mathematics
department from 1968 to 1976 and built it into one of the top departments in
the country. After leaving teaching, he founded an investment management
firm, Renaissance Technologies.
