The Peter Henrici Prize is awarded jointly by the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETHZ) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The prize is awarded for original contributions to applied analysis and numerical analysis and/or for exposition appropriate for applied mathematics and scientific computing. The prize is intended to recognize broad and extended contributions to these subjects, rather than a single outstanding work.
The next award will be presented at the Fifth International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2003) in Sydney, Australia, 7-11 July 2003.
There are no restrictions on eligibility beyond those specified above.
The award is to include a certificate containing the citation and a cash prize of $2500 plus reasonable travel costs to attend the prize ceremony.
The selection committee for the 2003 Henrici Prize consists of Germund Dahlquist (KTH, Stockholm, Sweden), Gene H. Golub (Stanford University), Martin Gutknecht, Chair (ETH Zürich), and Rolf Jeltsch (ETH Zürich).
Nominations may be made by anyone, including members of the selection committee. It is the responsibility of the nominator to provide all relevant information to the selection committee, including a resume and any letter(s) of support. In case his or her nominee will be chosen, the nominator will also be asked to provide the draft of a citation of about 100 words that can be read at the award ceremony.
Letters of nomination should be sent by December 1, 2002, to
