Elias M. Stein

thumb|Elias Stein in 2008 Elias M. Stein Elias Menachem Stein (January 13, 1931 – December 23, 2018) was a Belgian-born, American mathematician who was a leading figure in the field of harmonic analysis. In 1999 he shared the Wolf Prize in Mathematics with Laszlo Lovasz. Quotes That geometric considerations enter in a decisive way in many questions of harmonic analysis is by now a well-known fact. In explicit form such ideas arose first in the estimation of the Fourier transform of surface-carried measure; they have since played a key role in averages over lower-dimensional varieties, restriction theorems, in connection with the study of oscillatory integrals and Fourier integral operators, and in application to linear and non-linear Dispersion relation dispersive equations. 434-453 2010 https://books.google.com/books?id=kQtYL7pUWSwC&pg=PA434 Some Geometrical Concepts Arising in Harmonic Analysis by Elias M. Stein Visions in Mathematics: GAFA 2000 Special Volume, Part I pp. 1-453 Modern Birkhäuser Classics Birkhäuser Basel 10.1007/978-3-0346-0422-2_17 (edited by Noga Alon, Jean Bourgain, Alain Connes, Misha Gromov, and Vital D. Milman; quote from p. 434) What I like about mathematics is the interplay with other people. And that generates extra energy — because it really helps you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UE3EOuZcW4&t=142s Science Lives: Elias Stein Simons Foundations, YouTube 30 January 2015 (quote at 2:22 of 3:01 in video) Quotes about Elias M. Stein Working with Eli Stein is amazing. There are good teachers and there are great teachers — and then there is Eli. He was simply the best teacher, I believe, of advanced math, I believe, in the whole world, by far. ... he conveyed a spirit of optimism. ... He has a wonderful style of explaining math — in which almost all of the effort of explanation goes into finding the right point of view and getting the essence of the problem.
