ISAAC-Publications
The International Society for Analysis, its Applications and
Computation has the acronym ISAAC. Analysis is understood
here in the broad sense of the word, including differential
equations, integral equations, functional analysis, and function
theory. It is the purpose of ISAAC to promote analysis, its
applications, and its interaction with computation. With this
objective, ISAAC organizes international Congresses for the
presentation and discussion of research on analysis. ISAAC
welcomes new members and those interested in joining ISAAC
are encouraged to look at the website
http://www.math.udel.edu/isaac/
and
http://www.math.fu-berlin.de/rd/ag/isaac/.
The First ISAAC Congress was held at the University of
Delaware, Newark, Delaware, U.S.A. during June 1997. The Second
ISAAC Congress was held during August 1999 at Fukuoka
Institute of Technology, Fukuoka, Japan.
As a novelty at the opening ceremony of the second congress ten ISAAC Awards
were handed over to those younger mathematicians who where elected by an
Award Committee. The awardees were
- Daniele Andreucci (Roma, Italy; pdes, free boundary problems),
- Dao-Qing Dai (Guangzhou, China; complex methods in pdes, wavelet analysis),
- Lê Hai Khôi (Hanoi, Vietnam; several complex variables, pdes),
- P. Alexandrovich Krutitskii (Moscow, Russia; pdes, applications),
- Pei-Chu Hu (Jinan,China; complex analysis),
- Song-Ying Li (Irvine, Ca, USA; complex analysis of one and several variables),
- Stefano Marmi (Firence, Italy; dynamical systems, global analysis),
- Sergiy A. Plaksa (Kiev, Ukraine; complex analysis, hypercomplex analysis),
- Takashi Shioya (Fukuoka, Japan; differential geometry, global analysis),
- Dachun Yang (Beijing, China; harmonic analysis, pdes).
The price was US $ 500 for those awardees who were attending the congress. The
fund for these awards was raised by the local organizers Professor J. Kajiwara and Professor M. Nishihara. The award committee consisted
of H. Begehr, A. Bourgeat, A.K. Brüning, A. Fasano, C.H. Fitzgerald, A. Jeffrey, J. Kajiwara, J. Noguchi, P. Tamrazov,
C.C. Yang (Chairman).

The ISAAC society will continue in encouraging young researchers in
analysis, its applications and computation by awarding prices for high
quality research at its international congresses.
