Jerome (Jerry) Arthur Goldstein (born August 5, 1941 in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American
mathematician whose main interests are
partial differential equations,
operator theory,
stochastic analysis,
fluid dynamics
In physics and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids— liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including ''aerodynamics'' (the study of air and other gases in motion) an ...
,
quantum theory, and
mathematical finance
Mathematical finance, also known as quantitative finance and financial mathematics, is a field of applied mathematics, concerned with mathematical modeling of financial markets.
In general, there exist two separate branches of finance that require ...

Career
Goldstein earned his B.S, M.S. and
Ph.D. degrees at
Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a private research university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. One of its predecessors was established in 1900 by Andrew Carnegie as the Carnegie Technical Schools; it became the Carnegie Institute of Technology ...
in 1963, 1964 and 1967. His Ph.D. thesis ''Stochastic Differential Equations and Nonlinear Semigroups'' was supervised by
Malempati M. Rao.
He held appointments as
Professor of Mathematics at
Tulane University (1968–91), and
Louisiana State University (1991–96). Since 1996 he is Professor of Mathematical Sciences at the
University of Memphis.
In addition, he has held visiting positions at universities in Austria, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Scotland and the United States.
Work
Jerry's papers and his book
on operator semigroups include fundamental contributions to his research areas. His list of publications presently includes more than 250 items.
He is editor of more than 10 journals, including ''
Semigroup Forum'', ''Differential and Integral Equations'', ''Advances in Differential Equations'', ''Positivity'', ''Journal of Evolution Equations'', and ''
Mathematische Nachrichten''.
Jerome Goldstein has advised 29 PhD-students and has 78 coauthors.
Awards
In 2006 Goldstein received Willard R. Sparks Eminent Faculty Award from the University of Memphis, and in 2002 he was the recipient of the Distinguished Research Award from the University of Memphis. In 2004-2007 he held the Dunavant Professorship at the University of Memphis. During his years at Tulane University, Goldstein received the first Faculty Award for Excellence in Research (1985) given by Tulane University.
In 2013 he became a
fellow of the
American Mathematical Society, for "contributions to partial differential equations and its applications, and to the dissemination of mathematics to a wider public".
