  Richard Courant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard Courant (born January 8, 1888 at Lublinitz, today Poland, died January 27, 1972 at New York/USA) was a German and American mathematician.
Courant was Jewish and, earlier than many colleagues, he left Germany in 1933.
The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences (as it was renamed in 1964) continues to be one of the most respected research centers in applied mathematics.

 Goedel's Theorem and Information
In view of the earlier notions of the absolute rigor of mathematics, it is surprising that such a thing could have happened, and even more surprising that it could have happened in these latter days when miracles are not supposed to take place.
Hilbert's key requirement for a formal mathematical system was that there be an objective criterion for deciding if a proof written in the language of the system is valid or not.
Of course, under these circumstances mathematics may lose a good deal of its ``absolute certainty;'' but, under the influence of the modern criticism of the foundations, this has already happened to a large extent...

 A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation
A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation presents a mathematical formulation of the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators.
It uses an elegant set of mathematical tools that emphasizes the geometry of robot motion and allows a large class of robotic manipulation problems to be analyzed within a unified framework.
The authors explore the kinematics of open-chain manipulators and multifingered robot hands, present an analysis of the dynamics and control of robot systems, discuss the specification and control of internal forces and internal motions, and address the implications of the nonholonomic nature of rolling contact are addressed, as well.

We also work closely with others at the Courant Institute and New York University who are actively involved in fusion plasma physics.
With such a diverse range of topics, it should be clear that the group must have many contacts and collaborations outside the group as well as collaboration within the group.
Such analysis extends the reach of plasma physics beyond its usual community and also develops mathematical tools which may become useful in plasma turbulence studies.
