  Mumford biography
Mumford's father worked for the United Nations from its foundations in 1945 and this was his job while Mumford was growing up.
Mumford's mother was American and the family lived on Long Island Sound in the United States, a semi-enclosed arm of the North Atlantic Ocean with the New York- Connecticut shore on the north and Long Island to the south.
Mumford's major work has been a tremendously successful multi-pronged attack on problems of the existence and structure of varieties of moduli, that is, varieties whose points parameterise isomorphism classes of some type of geometric object.

 Philosophy of Real Mathematics: David Mumford
David Mumford is perhaps most famous in the mathematical world for his work in algebraic geometry,which earned him a Fields Medal, and for the lecture notes which became The Red Book of Varieties and Schemes.
Mumford swapped fields in the 1980s and has since worked on pattern theory, especially as applied to computer vision, but he continues to contribute to mathematical exposition.
Mumford also points to the increase of stochastic concepts within maths itself, such as random graphs and stochastic differential equations.

Niente potrebbe essere più lontano dalla verità: se non in generale, almeno nel caso particolare di David Mumford.
Dopo aver militato per vent'anni nel campo della matematica più pura, conseguendo risultati memorabili che gli sono valsi nel 1974 la medaglia Fields, negli ultimi vent'anni Mumford ha compiuto un'inversione completa ed è passato alla matematica più applicata.
In occasione del Congresso Internazionale che si apre il 20 agosto 2002 a Pechino abbiamo chiesto a Mumford di parlarci della matematica, spaziando dal personale all'universale, come si addice al personaggio.
