Peter LaxPeter David Lax (born 1926) is a highly-respected mathematician working in the areas of pure and applied mathematics. He has made important contributions to integrable systems, fluid dynamics and shock waves, solitonic physics, hyperbolic conservation laws, and mathematical and scientific computing, among other fields. Lax holds a faculty position in the Department of Mathematics, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, USA. He was awarded the National Medal of Science in 1986, the Wolf Prize in 1987 and the Abel Prize in 2005. Books - Functional Analysis
