Argentine Mathematician Luis Caffarelli Wins 2023 Abel Prize for Geometry-Based Equations Solution.
Luis Caffarelli, a professor of mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin, has been awarded the Abel Prize, the equivalent of the Nobel Prize for mathematics, for his work on partial differential equations. Caffarelli's research has contributed significantly to the understanding of free boundary problems, including the melting of ice, and the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the dynamics of incompressible fluids. His work has also found applications in the financial world. The Abel Prize is awarded annually to highlight important advances in mathematics.
