| dbo:abstract | فيليب جاي ديفيس (بالإنجليزية: Philip J. Davis) هو رياضياتي أمريكي، ولد في 2 يناير 1923 في لورانس في الولايات المتحدة، وتوفي في 13 مارس 2018. (ar) Philip J. Davis (* 2. Januar 1923 in Lawrence (Massachusetts); † 13. März 2018) war ein US-amerikanischer Mathematiker und Schriftsteller, der im Bereich der angewandten Mathematik tätig war. Davis promovierte 1950 bei Ralph Boas an der Harvard University und war dann am National Bureau of Standards, wo er Leiter der Abteilung für Numerische Mathematik wurde und an der Herausgabe des „Handbooks of Mathematical Functions“ von Milton Abramowitz und Irene Stegun arbeitete. Er war seit 1963 an der Brown University, wo er zuletzt Professor Emeritus war. Bekannt wurde er für seine mathematische Essaysammlung „The mathematical experience“ von 1981 mit Reuben Hersh, die auch auf philosophische und historische Themen um die Mathematik eingeht (gefolgt von einem ähnlichen Buch „Descartes’ Dream“) und 1983 einen National Book Award gewann. Sein Buch „Methods of numerical integration“ mit Philip Rabinowitz war lange ein Standardwerk über numerische Integration. 1963 erhielt er den Chauvenet-Preis. Er war regelmäßiger Kolumnist der SIAM-News. 1956 war er Guggenheim Fellow. 1986 erhielt er den George Pólya Award, 1990 den Hedrick Award und 1982 den Lester Randolph Ford Award. 1997 wurde er Ehrendoktor der Universität Roskilde. (de) Philip J. Davis (2 de enero de 1923 - 13 de marzo de 2018) fue un matemático aplicado y académico estadounidense, autor de numerosos textos de divulgación matemática. (es) Philip J. Davis (January 2, 1923 – March 14, 2018) was an American academic applied mathematician. Davis was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts. He was known for his work in numerical analysis and approximation theory, as well as his investigations in the history and philosophy of mathematics. He earned his degrees in mathematics from Harvard University (SB, 1943; PhD, 1950, advisor Ralph P. Boas, Jr.), and his final position was Professor Emeritus at the Division of Applied Mathematics at Brown University. He served briefly in an aerodynamics research position in the Air Force in World War II before joining the National Bureau of Standards (now the National Institute of Standards and Technology). He became Chief of Numerical Analysis there and worked on the well-known Abramowitz and Stegun Handbook of Mathematical Functions before joining Brown in 1963. He was awarded the Chauvenet Prize for mathematical writing in 1963 for an article on the gamma function, and won numerous other prizes, including being chosen to deliver the 1991 Hendrick Lectures of the MAA (which became the basis for his book Spirals: From Theodorus to Chaos). He was a frequent invited lecturer and authored several books. Among the best known are The Mathematical Experience (with Reuben Hersh), a popular survey of modern mathematics and its history and philosophy; Methods of Numerical Integration (with Philip Rabinowitz), long the standard work on the subject of quadrature; and Interpolation and Approximation, still an important reference in this area. For The Mathematical Experience (1981), Davis and Hersh won a National Book Award in Science. Davis also wrote an autobiography, The Education of a Mathematician; some of his other books include autobiographical sections as well. In addition, he published works of fiction. His best-known book outside the field of mathematics is The Thread: A Mathematical Yarn (1983, 2nd ed. 1989), which "has raised Digression into a literary form" (Gerard Piel); it takes off from the name of the Russian mathematician Tschebyscheff, and in the course of explaining why he insists on that "barbaric, Teutonic, non-standard orthography" (in the words of a reader of Interpolation and Approximation who wrote him to complain), he digresses in many amusing directions. Davis died on March 14, 2018, at the age of 95. (en) Philip J. Davis (né le 2 janvier 1923 à Lawrence au Massachusetts et mort le 13 mars 2018) est un mathématicien appliqué et écrivain américain.
