Samit Dasgupta
Samit Dasgupta is a professor of mathematics at Duke University working in algebraic number theory. Biography Dasgupta graduated from Montgomery Blair High School in 1995 and placed fourth in the 1995 Westinghouse Science Talent Search with a project on Schinzel's hypothesis H. He then attended Harvard University, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1999. In 2004, Dasgupta received a PhD in mathematics from University of California, Berkeley under the supervision of Ken Ribet and Henri Darmon. Dasgupta was previously a faculty member at University of California, Santa Cruz. As of 2020, he is a professor of mathematics at Duke University. Research Dasgupta's research is focused on special values of L-functions, algebraic points on abelian varieties, and units in number fields. In particular, Dasgupta's research has focused on the Stark conjectures and Heegner points. Awards In 2009, Dasgupta received a Sloan Research Fellowship. He was named a Fellow of the American Mathe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...
