Cathleen Synge Morawetz Born: 5 May 1923 in Toronto, Canada Click the picture above to see three larger pictures Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Main index Version for printing Cathleen Morawetz was christened Cathleen Synge. Her father was John Lighton Synge , a mathematician who has a biography in this archive, while her mother, Eleanor Mabel Allen Synge, also had some training as a mathematician. Both Cathleen's parents were Irish but she was born in Toronto while her father held the position of assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Toronto. However, when she was two years old the family returned to Ireland when her father was appointed to the chair of Natural Philosophy at Dublin University. When Cathleen was seven years old the family returned to Toronto and it was in Toronto that she attended school. Cathleen won a scholarship and entered the University of Toronto to study mathematics. Her parents both encouraged her interest in mathematics and science but her father jokingly said that if she became a mathematician:- ... we might fight like the Bernoulli brothers. Of course the years that Cathleen spent as an undergraduate at Toronto was the time of World War II and she undertook war work in 1943-44 as a technical assistant. Returning to the University of Toronto she was awarded her B.A. degree in Mathematics in 1945.

26. Citation For Cathleen Synge Morawetz During the decade before the 1960s cathleen morawetz produced extremely This knowledge follows from cathleen morawetz’s work, followed by that of Paul http://www.lms.ac.uk/activities/prizes_com/citations01/morawetz.html

Citation for Cathleen Synge Morawetz In later work, Professor Morawetz turned her attention to scattering of waves by obstacles. She showed that disturbances would radiate to infinity, with energy near to the obstacle decaying like a negative power of time. In three dimensions she and others showed that the energy decays exponentially in time. In this work she has made use of ingeniously derived energy identities. These novel identities have become central in modern theories of hyperbolic systems, and in systems of mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type. Cathleen Morawetz was Director of the Courant Institute of the Mathematical Sciences, New York University, from 1984 to 1988. She was President of the American Mathematical Society from 1995 to 1997, and its Gibbs Lecturer in 1981. She is a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences; in 1998 she was awarded the United States National Medal of Science, which was presented by the President of the United States, and was the first woman mathematician to be so honoured.

SIAM News Quick Search: Morawetz Receives National Science Medal Cathleen Morawetz In a 1990 interview, Cathleen Morawetz, now a professor emerita of mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, commented on the environment in which she began to do mathematics: "Until the women's movement of the late sixties it really was considered very bad form for a woman to be overtly ambitious, very bad form. . . . And I think of course that underneath I was always very ambitious." ( citation information A decade before it would become culturally acceptable, Morawetz's ambition led her to produce results on transonic flowresults that, in the words of her Courant colleague Robert Kohn, "greatly influenced theoretical and practical thinking about airfoil design." In the subsequent years of a remarkable, multifaceted career, Morawetz has made further deep mathematical contributionsanalysis of the scattering of waves from obstacles, a scattering theory for nonlinear wave equations, and extended work on fundamental questions in transonic flow being a few highlights. At the same time, she has been a distinguished leader in the mathematical sciences community, both at Courant and nationally. As president of the American Mathematical Society (1995-97), Morawetz was "extraordinarily effective, taking a broad and inclusive view of mathematics," according to her SIAM counterpart Margaret Wright. "Her visible and unselfish dedication," Wright says, "gives her unquestioned credibility as a spokesperson for the mathematical sciences." Joseph Keller, a colleague of some 50 years, points out that "the set of directors of the Courant Institute has been a very impressive group of mathematicians; Cathleen [Courant's director from 1984 to 1988] was an appropriate member of that group."

SIAM News Quick Search: Former SIAM and AMS presidents Margaret Wright and Cathleen Morawetz set out to organize an event that would leave Lewis with a sense that his tireless efforts were indeed appreciated by the community. All photographs this page by Marty LaVor. Jim Crowley and Gil Strang with Lewis, who was formally commended by SIAM for "Service to the Mathematical Sciences," specifically "his inspiring and energetic leadership" of DMS, "his creative and thoughtful strategies for advancing mathematical sciences research, and his dedicated and tireless service on behalf of the mathematical sciences community." Role reversal: Judy Sunley first encountered Lewis as a student in his freshman calculus course at Michigan, 35 years ago this fall. "He wrote so fast on the board," she recalled, "that I had to trade off with a friend, taking notes and taking in what he was writing on the board . . . The median score on the first exam was about 30. . . ." However, she continued, he was a mentor "back when we didn't talk about mentors. . . . He cared about students." Much more recently, when frustrated by the bureaucratic aspects of his job at NSF, Lewis found himself turning to his former student (herself a former DMS director and, as of August, interim NSF assistant director for the Education and Human Resources Directorate).

Cathleen Synge Morawetz Cathleen Synge was born May 5 th , 1923 in Toronto, Ontario. Her parents, John and Eleanor were both mathematicians of Irish descent. At the age of two, the Synge family moved back to Ireland where John was appointed to chair of Natural Philosophy at Dublin University. In 1930 Cathleen and her family returned to Toronto where Cathleen started school at the age of seven. Cathleen’s parents had always encouraged her interest in mathematics and upon graduating from high school, she won a scholarship for the University of Toronto, World War II was on so she took a year off school and undertook way work as a technical assistant in 1943-1944. Synge returned to U of T in 1944 and was awarded her B.A. degree in mathematics in 1945. On October 28 th , 1945 Cathleen Synge married Herbert Morawetz, a chemist, and the two moved to Massachusetts where Cathleen attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her Master’s Degree, which was awarded to her in 1946. Morawetz was granted U.S. Citizenship in 1950. Cathleen became fascinated by transonic flow and associated phenomena as she was editing Courant and Friedrich’s "Supersonic Flow and Shock Waves" while working at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University, and decided to write her thesis on the stability of a spherical implosion. In 1951, Cathleen received her Ph.D.. In the early 1950's, she started looking at the mathematics of transonic flow, and made many discoveries which opened the problem of developing a theory for transonic flow with shocks. Towards the end of that decade Morawetz used functional analysis along with ingenious new estimates for an equation of a mixed type to prove an innovative new principle for boundary value problems for partial differential equations. From then on, much of Cathleen’s work focused on the wave equation.

37. E.W.Dijkstra Archive: A Somewhat Open Letter To Cathleen Synge Morawetz (EWD 114 A somewhat open letter to cathleen Synge morawetz. I would like to say a wordor two about the subject applied mathematics. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD11xx/EWD1145.html

EWD 1145 A somewhat open letter to Cathleen Synge Morawetz "I would like to say a word or two about the subject applied mathematics. I wish I could avoid the expression "applied" altogether, but it's there and the meaning that I attach to it is: It is mathematics. It is connected to some other science including engineering science. I then proceed to strip it down and I exclude statistics. If I did not want to talk about v. Neumann I would also exclude computer science. And I think computer scientists would most definitely agree." from C.S. Morawetz, Giants, Amer. Math. Monthly, 99 Dear Professor Morawetz, please allow me to point out that there exists at least one computing scientist that most definitely disagrees, viz. yours truly. Digital systems, whether circuitry or programs, are not born, they have to be designed, and in particular designed in such a way that they demonstrably meet their specifications. We know of only one genuine way of giving that demonstration: a mathematical proof. To which I can add, firstly, that only very formal, calculational mathematics is up to this challenge, and, secondly, that it is the designer's responsibility to choose such interfaces between the modules that the proofs remain physically feasible. It is the combination of these two aspects that makes digital system design an area par excellence for the mathematical engineer, and in those countries where "mathematical engineer" is a well-established academic title, its bearer is obviously and most definitely considered an applied mathematician, and rightly so.
