MIT announces Professor Gilbert Strang as first MathWorks Professor of Mathematics (MIT)
The MIT Department of Mathematics today announced the appointment of Professor
Gilbert Strang as its first MathWorks Professor of Mathematics. This endowed
professorship was made possible by MathWorks, developer of MATLAB and Simulink
— mathematical computing software for engineers and scientists.
“Big challenges are awaiting our students after graduation, from designing
alternative energy sources to finding the next penicillin. Academia and
industry must work together to ensure our future workforce is prepared to meet
these challenges. Gifts such as the MathWorks chair help foster an environment
in which foundational knowledge is coupled with challenging real-world
applications to encourage future innovations,” said Chancellor Eric Grimson.
The MathWorks Professorship is the latest milestone in a more than 25-year
relationship between the organizations that began when MIT became the first
MathWorks customer, purchasing 10 copies of MATLAB in 1985. Since then, the
two have collaborated through MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) as well as its Independent Activities Period
(IAP) programs. MathWorks also works with MIT through its participation in the
International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) university student
competition. In 2010, MIT adopted MATLAB and Simulink across its campus,
enabling Institute students, researchers and faculty to access the tools ...
