Professor Louis Nirenberg is one of the outstanding mathematicians of the second half of the XX century.
In 1995 Louis Nirenberg, former director and professor of mathematics at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, was awarded the National Medal of Science, the USA highest scientific honor.
In 1982 Professor Nirenberg was the first recipient of the Crafoord Prize, established in mathematics by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences as an equivalent to the Nobel Prize for scientific research in areas outside existing Nobel categories.

As Louis already remarked Friedrichs believed in proving the existence of solutions based on inequalities and in deriving these inequalities by the energy method.
The energy method exploits a kind of symmetry in the governing equations and these symmetries are either inherent or are artificially created and Friedrichs was a master of creating such kind of artificial symmetry.
Orderliness was also important, although Louis Nirenberg saw it a little differently, to us it seemed very orderly.

One of them, Karl Stellmacher, gave a negative solution to a celebrated problem of Hadamard whether the only partial differential operators which exhibit Huygens' phenomenon are those which can be obtained by a change of variables from the wave operator.
Among Avron Douglis' numerous publications, there is one written in collaboration with Shmuel Agmon and Louis Nirenberg which is one of the most often quoted papers in the history of mathematics.
The first generation of member of the Institute was recruited by Monroe Martin, it first director, and by Alexander Weinstein, who has outstanding contributions to eigenvalues and to singular partial differential operators.

When he left INRIA, the two seminars merged at the Collège de France, and, until 1998, one, two, or three lectures were given at the Friday afternoon seminar.
Regular visitors included Felix Browder, Peter Lax, and Louis Nirenberg from the U.S., Shmuel Agmon from Israel, Ennio De Giorgi, Enrico Magenes, and Guido Stam-pacchia from Italy, and Sergei Sobolev and Mark Vishik from the former USSR.
As one among countless initiatives, Enrico Magenes recalls that, at the end of World War II, J.L. Lions was the first French mathematician, with Laurent Schwartz, to reestablish contact with the Italian mathematical community and to visit Italy.

Celebrated mathematical analyst Louis Nirenberg explains the maximum principle (the idea that under certain conditions, a solution of a linear elliptic equation or inequality assumes its maximum on the boundary of its domain) and how this simplifies the solution of some partial differential equations.
Beginning with fundamentals, Nirenberg also explores a nontrivial problem that demonstrates the power of the maximum principle.
