[宣傳] Simons Center for Geometry and Physics
慶祝順便宣傳一下新成立的石溪Simons幾何與物理中心 (紐約州立石溪大學)
有心出國念理論物理的版友可以考慮申請
一方面石溪不像哈佛那麼難進 也蠻勇於收理論學生的
另一方面據說這個Simons中心研究經費不是普通的充足
小道消息指出Simons中心已經請到Rutgers弦論家Michael R. Douglas當主任
不出幾年應該會很熱鬧吧
我就不繼續老王賣瓜了 有興趣的朋友可以跟我討論
(當然我這小咖不能幫忙牽線 但是回答一些問題還是可以的)
$60 Million Gift for Stony Brook
James H. Simons, a math professor-turned-hedge fund manager, is giving Stony
Brook University $60 million, its largest gift ever and the largest gift to
any public university in the state.
“The donation will bolster New York’s efforts to become a leader in
innovation and excellence in higher education,” said Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who
is to formally announce the gift Wednesday morning in New York City, along
with university officials and Mr. Simons and his wife, Marilyn.
The new gift will be used for the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at
Stony Brook, where Mr. Simons served as chairman of the mathematics
department from 1968 to 1976 and built it into one of the top departments in
the country. After leaving teaching, he founded an investment management
firm, Renaissance Technologies.
