 | | Kurt O. Friedrichs, professor of mathematics, and one of the founders of the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and Michael Heidelberger, professor of immunochemistry, won the award in 1976. |
 | | The Institute has long been a leader in mathematical analysis, applied mathematics, and scientific computation, with special emphasis on applications of P.D.E. The CIMS was founded by Richard Courant in 1936, who prior to this founded in 1922 the Institute of Mathematics at Göttingen and later was its Director. |
