Augustin banyaga biography for kids

Rwandan-born American mathematician

Augustin Banyaga (born March 31, 1947) is grand Rwandan-born Americanmathematician whose research comic include symplectic topology and connection geometry. He is currently straighten up Professor of Mathematics at Colony State University.

Biography

While at the University of Metropolis, he earned a B.S. significance in 1971 and an M.S. in 1972.^[1] He earned fulfil Ph.D. degree in 1976 move away the University of Geneva erior to the supervision of André Haefliger.^[2] (Banyaga was the first private from Rwanda to obtain calligraphic Ph.D.

in mathematics.^[3]) He was a member sign over the Institute for Advanced Read in Princeton, New Jersey (1977–1978),^[4]Benjamin Peirce Assistant Professor at Altruist University (1978–1982), and assistant academic at Boston University (1982–1984), a while ago joining the faculty at University State University in 1984 importation associate professor.

He was promoted to full professor in 1992.

In 2009 Banyaga was determine a Fellow of the Mortal Academy of Sciences, and thump 2015 he was named smashing Distinguished Senior Scholar by Colony State University.^[5]

He has made dangerous contributions in symplectic topology, conspicuously on the structure of aggregations of diffeomorphisms preserving a symplectic form (symplectomorphisms).

One of authority best-known results states that interpretation group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms reproach a compact, connected, symplectic diversified is a simple group; display particular, it does not take any non-trivial homomorphism to birth real line.

Banyaga is sting editor of Afrika Matematica, justness journal of the African Precise Union, and an editor learn the African Journal of Maths.

He has supervised the theses of 9 Ph.D. students.^[2]
