 Berkeley Lab Mathematician James Sethian Receives Prestigious Norbert Wiener Prize in Applied Mathematics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The prize, which was presented on January 8 at the joint AMS-SIAM meeting in Phoenix, is awarded "for an outstanding contribution to applied mathematics in the highest and broadest sense." Sethian's award marks the eighth time the Norbert Wiener Prize has been awarded since 1970.
The prize was last awarded in 2000, when one of the two recipients was Alexandre Chorin, a colleague of Sethian's who also has a joint appointment in Berkeley Lab's Mathematics Group and UC Berkeley's Math Department.
Sethian's mathematical description of etching and deposition in the manufacture of computer chips has illuminated processes such as ion milling, visibility, resputter, and material-dependent etch rates; the resulting algorithms are now an indispensable part of industrial semiconductor fabrication simulations throughout the world.

He received the B.A. degree from Brooklyn College in 1941 and the M.A. degree in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin in 1943.
After staying on the faculty of the Mathematics Department at Princeton from 1946 to 1952, Bellman left to join the newly established Rand Corporation in Santa Monica, California.
His invention of dynamic programming in 1953 was a major breakthrough in the theory of multistage decision processes - a breakthrough which set the stage for the application of functional equation techniques in a wide spectrum of fields extending far beyond the problem-areas which provided the initial motivation for his ideas.
