Walter Alexander Strauss
Walter Alexander Strauss is American applied mathematician, specializing in partial differential equations and nonlinear waves.Education and career
Strauss graduated in 1958 with an A.B. in mathematics from Columbia University and in 1959 with an M.S. from the University of Chicago. He received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1962 with thesis Scattering for hyperbolic equations under the supervision of Irving Segal. Strauss was a postdoc for the academic year 1962–1963 at the Université de Paris. He was a visiting assistant professor from 1963 to 1966 at Stanford University. At Brown University he was an associate professor from 1966 to 1971 and a full professor from 1971 to the present.
Strauss has done research on "scattering theory in electromagnetism and acoustics, stability of waves, relativistic Yang-Mills theory, kinetic theory of plasmas, theory of fluids, and water waves."Awards and honors
