约翰·米尔诺
生平
米尔诺出生于美国新泽西州奥兰治。在普林斯顿大学就读本科期间,他就在1949年和1950年参加了普特南数学竞赛(en:William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition),并证明了Fary–Milnor定理。之后,他在进入普林斯顿大学的研究生院,并完成了论文《Isotopy of Links》。获得博士学位后,他继续在普林斯顿工作。
1962年,米尔诺因他在微分拓扑领域的工作获得菲尔兹奖。之后,他又获得了美国国家科学奖章(1967年)、Leroy P Steele Prize(1982年,2004年,2011年)、沃尔夫奖(1989年)。他还著有许多出色的书籍。这些书通俗,简洁而又严谨。
2011年,他因其“在拓扑,几何和代数的开拓性发现”(“pioneering discoveries in topology, geometry and algebra.”)获得了阿贝尔奖。作为回应,他告诉《新科学家》,“这感觉非常好”(“It feels very good”),并说“早上6点的电话总是让人感到意外。”(“One is always surprised by a call at 6 o"clock in the morning.”)
